Party

Mia's POV

''Shit!'' I blurted out while spilling out my drink, bringing Sarah's attention to where Ricardo was standing. ''Shit!'' Sarah grumbled and tried hiding me, but it was already too late, I was caught already.

Nervously, I tucked my hair behind my ears and held his gaze. I was waiting for him to storm at me and dragged me out of the party, but surprisingly, he just causally looked away and took a sip of his drink. ''He isn't coming our way.'' I said out loud to Sarah's hearing, who nodded her head in response. ''He doesn't care about you, I wonder why you care about him.'' Sarah murmured and took a sip of her drink.

Nervously, I looked his way and saw Janet standing before him. She was putting on a short blue dress that stopped above her knees. Her black hair was packed in a bun. She has spotless white skin, which made me jealous, wishing I could be hot like her. ''Bitch!'' I grumbled and tried looking away, but then I noticed Rick drew her to himself and sealed his lips with hers.

I watched them kissing so hot and passionately, and for strange reasons I felt a bit jealous and angry. ''Lets go.'' Sarah said while dragging me along with her. Grumbling angrily, I followed her, and we appeared in the swimming pool, which was filled with young teens and youths having fun at the pool side. ''I feel like swimming, but didn't come with a swimsuit.'' Sarah grumbled while looking around, staring at the people having fun in the pool. ''Maybe we should just go home.'' I grumbled with a frown. For strange reasons, I became angry and hurt seeing Ricardo and Janet kissing.

''Come on, girl, don't tell me you are like this because Rick is here.'' Sarah asked, while I just shrugged my shoulders but didn't say a word.

''Don't worry, he won't tell on you, that dude doesn't care about you.'' She assured me, but that wasn't the real reason I was restless, I just couldn't explain it to anyone. ''Cheer up and let's have fun.'' Sarah said while nudging my shoulder. ''You know, we are just fourteen and…'' I tried speaking, but she cut me off. ''The celebrant is merely two years older than us and beside, look at Sam over there, he is fifteen. So stop acting like we are babies.'' Sarah urged, while I nodded my head and took a sip of my drink.

''Let's have fun!'' She yelled and began dancing to the beat of the music. I chuckled at her crazy dance steps and looked away. Curiously, I moved my gaze, looking for a certain someone, but couldn't find him among the crowd. ''Stay here, I'll be back.'' Sarah did not let those words finish from her lips before running away. ''Hey, don't leave…'' Before I could protest, she had already left. Groaning softly, I sat on a seat and took a sip of my drink, watching everyone having fun except me.

Few minutes passed and Sarah didn't come back. Curiously, I moved my gaze around searching for her only to see her talking and giggling happily with Austin, her long-time crush. ''Bitch!'' I scoffed and emptied my cup.

Inhaling deeply, I moved my gaze around, enjoying the show before me, when I noticed someone had taken the seat beside me. Out of curiosity, I turned my gaze sideways and noticed it was a handsome dude who was in his early youth.

''Hey!'' He called out to me, revealing his beautiful sets of arranged teeth, ''Hi!'' I responded to his greetings with a friendly smile, which he returned. ''It seems to me that we are the only ones who aren't enjoying the party.'' He said while we both chuckled. ''Maybe!'' I responded with a scoff. ''Forgive my manners, I'm Joshua and you are?'' He asked, ''I'm Mia.'' I responded. ''Mia, nice name.'' He said with a friendly smile, which I returned. ''So, are you with anyone?'' He asked, ''Yes, with my friend.'' I responded and settled my gaze on Sarah who was still giggling happily talking to Austin. ''What about you, are you with anyone.'' I asked, ''Yes, I'm with a friend.'' He responded with a smile. ''A girlfriend?'', ''No. Boyfriend.'' He said with a weak smile. I wanted to ask him if he meant a sexual relationship with the guy, but I decided to let it be.

''Seems your drink is finished, do you wanna take mine.'' He asked while showing a bottle of gin to me. ''No, I don't take alcohol.'' I rejected, ''Oh no, it's not alcohol, it's just an energy drink.'' He assured me. ''You sure?'' I asked with raised eyebrows.

''Of course, I'm only seventeen. I'm not allowed to take alcohol, this is simply an energy drink.'' He said and handed the bottle to me, which I reluctantly took. I gulped some into my mouth and whined at the horrible taste of the drink.'' Do you like it?'' He asked with raised eyebrows, while I just scoffed and shook my head. He wanted to say something, but then I noticed someone walked up to him and whispered words into his ear which made him groan and shook his head, ''I'll be there.'' He told the guy, who nodded his head and left. ''Is everything alright?'' I asked.

''Yeah, but it seems my boyfriend is drunk, I need to go.'' He flashed me a friendly smile, stood to his feet and hurried away.

''Boyfriend?'' I mumbled to myself, confused at his words, but I decided to shove it away.

Inhaling deeply, I moved my gaze around and spotted Rick seated in an armchair while Janet sat on his lap, wrapped her hands around his neck, and they were both kissing so passionately that he grabbed her ass and squeezed them.

Such a sight caused my heart to ache with pain which I couldn't explain or understand. Inhaling deeply, I gulped all the drink into my mouth and continued watching them making out while I felt horrible in my seat.

Not able to withstand it, I sighed and slowly stood to my feet, but suddenly, I noticed my feet became weak, and my sight became blurry. ''Shit, what did he give to me.'' I groaned and tried to gain my balance, which I succeeded after several attempts.

Slowly, I took a step as I made my way to search for Sarah. Gradually I took another step, but my sight became more blurry and everything seemed to be whirling around. ''Shit.'' I grunted and continued walking, and suddenly, I heard a loud splash of water and realized I had just fallen into the pool. I tried to gain my balance in the pool, but then I realized I couldn't swim and no one was paying attention to me because they were all consumed by their activity and thought I just decided to swim with my clothes on.

Out of fear, I tried to swim, but my arms were heavy due to the fact that I couldn't swim. I attempted to float on the water but realized I was drowning, and nobody was paying attention to me.
