Gone

"Who even invited you?" I demanded.
Josh grinned.
"Pretty sure Amber said everyone was invited,"
I glared at him.
"Yeah, and I'm pretty sure that doesn't include assholes," I said coldly.
When I looked over to where Niall was standing, he wasn't there anymore. I turned a full circle before seeing him over the other side of the room talking to Amber.
"Look, this is my party. I don't want you here; just go,"
I turned to leave but he grabbed my arm.
"But I want you,"

I didn't answer. For a moment we stared into each other's eyes. Then, that moment ended as I stared at the ground. I knew only too well what he meant when he said he wanted me. He just wanted me for my body. What was it about ‘leave me alone’ didn’t he understand? The truth was we had already hooked up a few times but it had meant nothing to me. Absolutely nothing. It was a simple friends with benefits situation. I had told him it was a mistake and that it was over. Ever since then, it was like I couldn't go anywhere without him being there.
“I’m not…” I started.
He touched his finger to my lips.
“Shhhh,” he breathed, “I can’t handle being just friends with you anymore, I like you Kaia,”
He kissed me on the cheek and wandered away from me slowly. I stood there, shell shocked.
“What the hell just happened?” Amber asked.
I glanced at her. She looked just about as stunned as I did. Had she been watching the whole time?
“Did he just-” she started.
"Uh huh,"
I had no idea what to think. I didn’t know if I liked him in that way or if I even wanted to. Maybe he was drunk? There was no effing way Josh liked me. He was incapable of liking anyone, especially me.

“Wow,” she said, “I did not expect that. What’s the dealio with you two anyway? I thought you guys weren't even friends,”
I shrugged. I hadn’t exactly told anyone about me and Josh. Nor did I want anyone to find out. That included Amber. She may be my best friend but sometimes, she wasn’t always the best at keeping her mouth shut, especially when it was something as big as this. Considering Josh and I were completely different people, had nothing in common, and didn’t get along even slightly, it was a huge deal. Everyone thought we were enemies even while we were FWB. We used to make out behind the girls bathrooms during P.E. That was last year though. This year was different. I had moved on and therefore he should too.
“It was nothing,” I replied, “nothing at all. Where did Niall go?”
She took the hint and went along with the change of the topic of conversation.

"Look, about Niall," she said, lowering her voice, "He was the 'friend' I met in Bali and we did hook up. That's why it was so awkward to have him turn up at our school. Things didn't exactly...end well. You're the first person I've told and I'd appreciate it if you would keep it that way. Besides, Niall has his eyes on someone else,"
I was about to ask her if she knew who it was when I was interrupted by a screech of a microphone. The music stopped playing and suddenly everyone started cheering and taking pictures.
“Is there a Kaia James in da house?” A voice yelled into a microphone.
I swear my heart stopped as I realised who that voice belonged to. Winner had turned up just as promised. I pushed through the sea of people to the front of the room to see the DJ Winner Brent.

He hopped up onto a wooden chair and waved to the crowd. My mouth gaped as I realised I was standing just inches from my idol. It really was him. I knew Amber had invited him but I didn’t think he would actually show up considering how famous he was.
“Scuse me,” I choked out, “I’m Kaia,”
My heart skipped a beat as he glanced down at me.
“Ah, here she is,” he said.
“Now that the birthday girl is in the room, let’s get this party started,”
I watched, star stuck, as he jumped off the chair and ran over to where he had set up his DJ gear.
