“Do I know you?” Jax asked,
stumbling back and forth.
“We
have like four classes together…and I’m pretty sure you and my sister had a
thing freshman year,” I replied, positive he couldn’t have been drunk enough to
forget I even existed…or could he?
“Oh.”
He raised his eyebrows animatedly, his blue eyes twinkling. “Satan, right?”
“Excuse
me?” I asked, shocked by his question.
“Your
name—or at least that’s what your sister used to call you…” His lips curled up
into an evil smile.
I
let go of his arm, but stood my ground. “Why are you being like this? You
invited me,” I whispered, looking down, my face burning up.
Jax
obviously did not get the memo that we were being discreet, because his volume
only seemed to increase, catching more attention than I would have liked. “I
invited you? In what world?” He cackled like an evil villain and then
turned his back to me, filling his cup up with beer.
My
cheeks were growing redder by the minute, a combination of embarrassment and
pure rage. He was the only reason I had even agreed to come. I knew I was an
outsider; that I didn’t fit in with his crowd—but he was the one who convinced
me that everything was going to be alright. “You’re seriously going to sit
there and pretend like you didn’t invite me to this party twice?” It was hard
not to be fuming.
He
turned around slowly this time, sipping on his beer, a calculated look playing
across his eyes. “Well you obviously can’t take a hint…I’m going to give you
the best advice of your life…are you ready? Lay off the cupcakes fatty! I can
get any girl in here, what would I want with a pig like you?”
I looked around and realized all
eyes were on us; more importantly, me. Jax had just given them the reality TV
bit they craved for the night. Tears were beginning to form at the corners of
my eyes and I knew I didn’t have much time before the waterworks. “Peyton…” I
heard my friends call after me. But it was drowned out by the noise of
laughter. Jax was laughing hysterically at what he had just said to me, and the
worst part about it? Everyone had joined in. Now all I heard as I ran and
pushed my way through the crowd was oinks and laughs.
