Part of You
Bad Idea
Sunday night
Hailie’s POV
‘’Toast for the amazing friend I have!’’ shouted Will.
Everyone raised their drinks.
‘’And now, Hailie, we are waiting for you!” I looked at him. He knew I wasn’t dealing great with alcohol, especially Vodka. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. It’s just a shot. Calm down. I opened them, ready to drink bottom's up my shooter. When the liquid started falling in my throat, I coughed, lamely.
‘’I hate you so much, Willy!’’ I said, hitting as hard as I could my friend’s arm.
He laughed and hugged me. I couldn’t believe Will had managed to bring me to that party. I was not a party animal, but I guessed it would have made me feel better after what happened home…
I thought about my dad: if he knew I was here and not crashing at Niall’s place, I would probably be grounded for months. Or maybe dead. Tomorrow was the first day of school, and I was here, partying. Our relationship was not a typical father-daughter’s: we were fighting quite often about meaningless things. I didn’t show him affection, neither did he. When I had enough, I would simply say: ‘’Whatever dad, I’m out to Niall’s.’’ He knew then that there was no arguments to make me stay.
Let me get it straight: I told him my lame excuse. On the way out, I was texting Niall I was coming over, but Will was on the opposite side of the street. He recognized me and you know the rest.
Will shook me, waking me up from my thoughts. ‘’Hail, stop thinking about your dad and have some fun! Stop worrying!’’
‘’But what if he calls Niall to check up on me? Niall doesn’t know I was supposed to-"
‘’He never calls and never will." Will cut me. He had a point.
''Alright, then. Let's have some fun!'' I gave up, mimicking his tone.
He smiled and hugged me tighter.

Will POV’S
‘’Willyy, I think I’m deeead.’’
We were in the street, making our way back at my house. It was around 2 o’ clock in the morning. I looked at her: we had so much fun tonight. We danced, fooled around. I remembered she started to stick pads on Sam’s bedroom door. Why? Mystery of alcohol.
‘’Ah, come on. Pull yourself together, Hail. Be a man.’’ I chuckled.
‘’Well that’s the problem. I have something else between my legs, ya know.’’
I laughed harder. That was obvious: she was drunk as hell. If Hailie was sober, she wouldn’t speak like that. She usually never mentions sexual things and if we were, she’d avoid the subject, not adding to the conversation. It’s like, taboo for her.
I continued walking, and then I turned to her. I was surprised to find her on the ground, arms crossed.
‘’I can’t do this anymore. Your house is too far away. I’m sleeping here.”
I burst into laughter. ‘’My house’s just there, Hail!’’
She turned her head to the left, and then to the right. ‘’There is no house, Will. You drank too much.’’
I laughed again. That was only the second time I saw her drunk like that. The first time, it was at my house. My parents weren’t there for the weekend, so we took advantage of it. Seriously, who wouldn’t?
‘’Alright, then. Bye!’’ I said before turning to the left and headed to the porch of my house. She grabbed my leg, making me lose my balance and then meet the floor.
‘’Ow!’’
‘’Stay with me, I’m scared…’’ she said, her voice cracking.
‘’Ah, come on. I’ll never leave you!’’ I put her back on her feet and she squeezed my arms.
‘’I’m not walking. Oh boy, nah!’’
Since we’re friends, Hailie always tried to get on other's back, literally. Like being carried around. I knelt down so she could place herself. But instead, she jumped on me, making me lose my balance, again. I was flat on my stomach.
‘’Kinda not comfortable.’’ She patted my back.
‘’Duh, I’m not a bed! Now get off!’’

Monday
Anonymous POV’S
My alarm began to ring. I rolled over to stop it, and then put my face in my pillow. Today was my first day at my new school. Why did we arrive on a Sunday? Why not Saturday? I heard footsteps: probably my mum.
‘’Honey, get up. You need to prepare yourself for school! Your first day, I’m so excited! Marshfield High School… What a lovely name!’’ said my mum, too enthusiastic, as always. But it was cute. I growled as an answer.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hailie POV’S
I sat down slowly on my chair. I wanted so bad to go home, but I couldn’t afford myself to skip a day of school, even if I was going to vomit on everything. My dad would have noticed I had drank. It’s miraculous that Jen, Will’s mother, didn’t realise we partied last night…
I leaned on my desk, my hands holding my face. It’s the first day of school and you’re hangover. Way to go, Hail. I try to keep down what my stomach contains. My headache intensified as the last bell rang.
‘’Hi class! Most of you know me because of last year, but for the others, I’ll introduce myself. I’m Mrs. Flores and I’ll teach you chemistry.’’ I had her last year and I hated her. I still do. I think she feels the same way about me. Or should I say, towards everyone.
Mrs. Flores explained to us what we will do this year. I dozed off, trying to relax my headache and stomach. I noticed it went silent in class. I moved my hands away from my face to see what was going on. Mrs. Flores loves to stop talking while others in the class do.
I see a guy standing in the doorframe. Never seen him around.
‘’What can I do for you?’’ said Mrs. Flores, roughly.
‘’I… Eh. I’m new here and…’’ he began. He had a raspy and morbid voice. Jesus, that's scary.
‘’Well that is no good excuse for being late in my class, young boy! Now, will you please go sit down so I can continue what you’ve stopped?’’ she replied, really angry.
The boy bit his lower lip. I think he was trying to prevent a smile. While Mrs. Flores resumed her explanation, the new guy walked in, searching for a place to sit. I felt sorry for him when he saw an available place beside me. I was in no mood to introduce myself, or to just chat casually with him. He sat down, smiling at me. I smiled back weakly. My stomach decided to contract, showing the pain on my face. Stupid Vodka.
‘’Are you alright?’’ asked the boy, wondering why I was in pain. I noticed his strong British accent.
‘’Yeah… Well no, as you can see, but I prefer not to talk, in case it goes out…’’ I whispered.
He giggled softly. Nice, the new boy is making fun of me. I tried to get my attention back to the teacher’s words.
‘’Now class, let’s proceed to team you up. I’ll give you 5 minutes to find a partner. Choose wisely, because you will work with that person for the whole year.’’
Ugh, nice. I hated to form teams because it’s always awkward. I had no real friends in that class. Maybe Cassie would team up with me… I started standing up slowly. Bad idea. I think my stomach just made 3 flips in a row. I sat back in place.
‘’Hey, maybe… Eh…’’ started the new boy.
I knew what he wanted to ask me. Even if I had no idea who he was, working with him would be a better option than Cassie.
‘’..we could team up? Yes, no problem.” I finished for him.
‘’Yeah. I know no one here and I talked to you. Well, barely, but you are still the only one I talked to so far, so…’’
‘’Don’t worry, I understand. I’m Hailie.’’
‘’And I’m Harry.’’ He said, with a grin.
I felt something stuck in my throat. It tasted awful. I got up quickly, trying to get my balance. I started walking real fast to Mrs. Flores’ desk. It was just an amount of time until I puked. I asked her if I could go to the bathroom.
“Why? You have time between classes.’’ She replied harshly.
Oh, I just want to fool around, throwing up everywhere, you know.
‘’Please, Mrs. It’s urgent.’’ I pleaded.
I couldn’t wait for her ‘no’. I turn around running for the door. As I passed it, it was too late.

He laughed and hugged me. I couldn’t believe Will had managed to bring me to that party. I was not a party animal, but I guessed it would have made me feel better after what happened home…
