Chapter 9: ...

Selene's pov

"You can come watch if you're curious" I mimicked in a grubbed voice.

Like who the hell does he think he is?, I'm trying to create a good life for myself and I couldn't even get a single work done because of the raucous downstairs

He had to crown it by slapping Becca's ass like that, I don't get it.

He's such a flirt, trying to kiss me, while he has a girlfriend

I'm sure he was just playing pranks on me about the kiss, thankfully I was not dumb enough to fall him

I have to be extra careful when I'm around him.

I went back to my books, seconds after the music resumed.

Ethan was no longer downstairs, his friends would just bite my head off if I go there

I tried to focus on my chemistry homework and not Ethan could be doing to Becca that made her moans loud enough to waft through my door.

Some manners would be good.

Reading tonight was definitely canceled, I'll try getting some sleep instead.

I wore a sleep mask to help fall asleep easily.

I don't know how long I had been asleep for, when I felt a tickle at the back of my toe.

I turned on the bed, it could be my imagination.

The tickling feeling came again.

I inhaled deeply, I warned Ethan to stay away from my room.

I removed the sleep mask from my eyes, ready to yell at him, when I saw Jack grinning widely

"What the heck are you doing in my room?" I frowned, my anger was undoubtedly rising

He smelled of alcohol, obviously he's drunk, else he wouldn't be here of all places.

"I was," he paused then burped.

The stench of alcohol hit my nose.

"I'm looking for the bathroom." He said groggily

"Well, the bathroom isn't here, dummy "I jumped from the bed.

It's insane that he climbed upstairs searching for a bathroom when there's like four bathrooms downstairs.

Ethan needs to keep his guests in check.

If I hadn't woke up, jack would have used my bathroom, disgusting

I opened the bedroom door for him to leave.

Jack groggily closed the door back without stepping out.

This was beginning to get out of hand.

"I know you're drunk, but you need to leave now."

I reached for the door handle again, but Jack covered my wrist with his hands.

"Selene Greasely, I never knew you were so hot outside school uniform." He leaned into my body.

"Jack, what are you doing?" My heart rate was starting to increase.

"You have such a nice ass, no one would have imagined." He cooed behind my ears

My skin recoiled from the heat of his breath on my neck.

This was bad, very bad.

I managed to squeeze out of his hold, but he was blocking the door, my only escape.

His teeth shone brightly as he advanced towards me.

"Jack, please!" I screamed as I flopped back on the bed.

My hands covered my eyes as I didn't know what else to do.

I silently prayed for a miracle.

"Dude what the hell?." Ethan thundered from the doorway.

I have never been so relieved to see him.

With one long stride, he grabbed Jack by the neck and tossed him out the door.

"Did he hurt you?"

Ethan was all over me at once

"I'm fine, I'm fine, he was just drunk "1 said, trying to act cool.

"Drunk or not, he shouldn't have been here." Ethan said, his jaw tightened

"Stay here." he ordered me.

He went after Jack, for a brief moment I thought he was going to hurt him.

"Okay people, party's over, everyone leave now."

I heard his voice loud and clear

The people downstairs grumbled loudly, and in minutes, the house became as quiet as it was before they came

I ruined their party, twice.

My legs were raised on the bed when Ethan returned.

"Are you sure you aren't hurt?" He touched me again, checking all over.

"I'm fine." It pleased me to know that he cared

"How can you be so stupid to leave your door open, when there's a party going on. What if I hadn't come here?" his eyes blazed at me

I can't believe this.

I set my feet back on the ground

He just switched from caring to being a total jackass.

"Excuse me, you do not get to be angry, I'm supposed to be safe in my home, you're the one who invited silly guests over. " I jabbed a finger in the air

"How stupid can you be, the door has a lock for a reason, how many times do I get to tell you, I'm responsible for you till dad gets back." he yelled.

"Then I don't need you to responsible for me anymore" 1 yelled back, matching his tone

Ethan stepped back, hand roughing up his hair

"You know what?, just leave. I'm tired and need to sleep." I said.

"Ethan, where are you?" Becca called from outside the room.

'Great, she's still here."

I rolled my eyes

"Your girlfriend's calling." I smiled ruefully

"Yeah, I better go meet her." He replied icily

"She'd be staying for a few days, so don't make her uncomfortable" He said before leaving

As if?, it wasn't enough that I have to cope with them at school.

Now, there's Becca Flynn under the same roof as me for a few more nights

This is going to suck.

Becca made sure I couldn't catch a wink of sleep all through the night, and I completely ignored them by morning.

At school, Jack came over to my locker. looking apologetic and all

"Hey Selene ." He sat across me.

I had to look around to be sure he was talking to me.

"About last night, I'm not usually like that, I got really drunk and my head was messed up."

"It's okay, all in the past now."

"To show you how sorry I am, would you be my date for tonight's party?" He asked.

"Who?Me?"

That came as a surprise.

"Come on, don't say no." He gave a puppy look.

Ethan walked in with Becca, and she sat on his lap.

"What's going on?" She asked Jack.

"I was just asking Selene to be my date tonight."

"No way, she's not allowed." Ethan answered.

"Why do you care?" Becca flared at him.

"She can go if she wants to right, Selene ?" She looked at me.

My gaze went to Ethan, who shook his head at me.

“I’ll be your date.”
