Glancing at Exie, I can tell she is hurt by what she saw.

Brian is being an ass but screw him and his wack ass party. Wendy peeks her head out at the same time Sarah and Kalum walk out of the room trying to put their clothes on.

“He’s right. No one invited you two outcasts. Get out,” Wendy says.

Most of the senior class are here and walk up the stairs to see what is going on so they can gossip about it later.

“Kalum?” Sarah whines.

He turns his gaze on me but answers her. “I’m sorry. I didn’t know.”

His expression turns cold when everyone is waiting for him to say something.

“Leave and let me not catch you at one of our parties again. You are not welcome.”

A lump has formed in my throat, and I swallow it. Tears threatened because today is such a shitty day for me and now for Exie. Kalum is hot and cold. He is nice one minute and then an a-hole the next.

They don’t want us here fine. Fuck them and fuck this school. I hate it here but one thing I have left is my pride. Sarah smirks at me like the cat that got the cream and from the corner of my eye, Cason looks away.

“I’m sorry we came to your party, we thought we were invited. It won’t happen again. I will never set foot at one of your parties or any place you guys hang out. We will stay out of your way.”

“Where are you going?” Kalum asks.

Giving him a sneer. “None of your business. You wanted me to hate you, now you have it. Don’t talk to me, don’t take me to school. Don’t even look at me. I don’t exist to you. This party is wack anyway.”

“She’s right, this party is wack,” Exie chimes in.

There is a guy that nods while smoking a joint named Dean from my history class. I walk up to him and grab the joint taking a hit.

My mother smoked medical marijuana for years and would help with my period cramps sophomore year instead of taking a drug like Demerol which was way worse. That is what they give at the hospital when other over-the-counter pain medication doesn't work. It was hush-hush, but my mother was understanding and it was harmless. The pain stopped my junior year but with everything that has gone down today, I need it.

“What are you doing, Aura?”

“You smoke?” Dean says.

I blow the smoke up in the air. “Yeah.” I hold up the white boy between two fingers. “This is good.”

“Cali weed,” he says.

“I gotta run, but thanks for the hit.”

His eyes are glassy from the weed, and he smiles. “Anytime. You can come to any of my parties,” he says loud enough for everyone to hear. “Both of you.”

“Thanks, but we’re good. Not our type of crowd.”

Exie gives me a wink and we head downstairs to take me home.

Chapter twelve

Kalum

It has been a week since the party and Aura is closed off. She doesn’t even glance in my direction. She locks herself in her room when I’m around and true to her word, she never waited for me to take her to and from school.

I should be glad, but I’m not. She caught me screwing Sarah, or rather Sarah screwing me, and the way she apologized was gut wrenching. If she only knew where my mind was in that exact moment, wishing it was her and not my current girlfriend.

My eyes were closed and didn’t hear the door open because I was imagining her. It has always been her since that day she was in my kitchen. I should feel guilty thinking about Aura while being with Sarah, but the way Sarah is as a person, I don’t.

Sarah and her friends are jealous of Aura and even Exie. When they are seen hanging out together, or when they pass by not paying attention to anyone except whatever they are engrossed in, it has guys at school on the edge of their seats trying to get a better look.
