*Destiny’s POV*
*Friday/Night of the Party*

“Harry will be here soon,” Mum warns me, knocking my bedroom door before coming into my room.

“Oh shoot,” I say, staring at my closet.

“Here I’ll help.” Mum laughed, pulling out an outfit for me to wear. Fifteen minutes later, all my makeup was complete, hair was straightened, and I was dressed in my cyan colour high-low dress and white, cable tights.

As I slipped on my black flats, I turned on my iPhone and messaged my friends on our group chat.

Destiny: Can’t wait for the party!

I rummaged through my closet for my white cardigan.

“BING!”

Mable: Ikr. What r u all wearing?

As I pulled on my white cardigan, everyone sent a picture of their outfits.

Destiny:


Elizabeth:


Mable:


June:


Ally:


The girls and I had talked for a while before the doorbell rang.

“Honey, Harry’s here!” Mum called to me, with a little too much excited in her voice.

As I walked down the stairs, I noticed my dad talking with Harry. He looked a little uncomfortable.

‘Urgh, Dad.’ I thought, ‘Leave the poor kid alone. Don’t talk about that gun, you don’t actually own.’

Although I didn’t want to fight it too much, Dad’s been eager to tell that to the first guy who took me out – been waiting too long for it.

Instantly, as Mum’s eyes landed on me, they glistened “Destiny, baby, you look gorgeous! I can’t believe you are going on your first date!”

“Mum …” I whined, sternly looking at her, “It is not a date, Harry is just my ride.”

“Oh, let me dream.” Mum waved her hand, ignoring my comment. I laughed rolling my eyes.

“Okay, then, we should probably get going,” Harry says. I nodded as I began to follow him to his car.

As Harry drove away, I started to think about the strange feeling I got about England drivers driving on the left side of the road. ‘Goodness, I’m going to end up failing my first driver’s test,’ I sighed, with a chuckle, as I looked out the window.

Soon my mind wandered off to Canada, and the whole life I had left behind there. ‘Woah!’ I thought as I realised how much everything had changed in two months.

“Where is the party at?” I questioned Harry, trying to pick up a conversation.

“Louis.”

“Oh.”

“So, this is your first date?” Harry smirked.

“This isn't a date, Harry,” I say, hiding my smile.

“Well, have you ever been asked out, before?” He shrugs.

“Yeah, but I’ve always turned them down …”

We pulled up to Louis’ home, and I began to feel nervous. The house was medium-sized, but it was buzzing with teenagers, I noticed many of them had multiple piercings and tattoos. A lot of them, looking older and most I didn’t recognise, or ever even seen at the school.

“Um, Harry?”

“Mhmm?”

“I thought kids from school were invited to this party.”

“Some are, yes. But the others …”

“There’s alcohol!”

“Yeah, so?”

“You said there was parental supervision!” I questioned him, partially frightened.

“You actually believe that?” He laughed. “Wow … you really are ignorant to reality.”

His words started a fire in the pit of my stomach.

“Explain to me again, why I care what you think?” I say, narrowing my eyes at him. “I am ANYTHING, but ignorant to reality, you don’t even know!” I scream at him.

His eyes grew big, and his mouth fell, raising an eyebrow. He probably thought I was insane.

“Destiny!” Harry says, completely shocked, as I stormed out of the car, slamming the door with all my might.

“Destiny! Wait up!” Harry called to me, running after me, I quickened my pace. When he reached me, he grabbed my elbow and pulled me around to face him.

“Look, I didn’t know it was going to upset you this much. I’m …” I was waiting for his apology, as he looked around and saw some people he knew.

“Hey, Harry!” Some other boy called to him.

“Hey man!” Harry called back.

‘What am I stupid? This guy’s a complete jerk. You, actually think he is going to an apology. He isn’t any different from any of the other dicks in this universe. His reputation means so much more to him.’ I say to myself, angrily.

Harry bit his lip before continuing, “You need to stay with me. This isn’t a place to wander off on your own. Some guys aren’t as easy-going as I am, alright? Now, don’t go wandering off.”

“As easy-going as you?” I raised an eyebrow, laughing. “I actually thought you were a legitimate person, but no. You are exactly what everyone says you are. A rude, horrible, disgusting person. You don’t care what happens to me. It’s only to help your ego.” I sneered at him, hurt. I gave a little shove and stormed off.

*Harry’s POV*

As she stormed off into the house, I let out a groan.

‘Great.’ I thought. ‘Now I have to play hide and seek with her.’

Frantically looking around for Destiny, her words floated around my head as I entered the kitchen. ‘You are exactly what everyone says you are. A rude, horrible, disgusting person. You don’t care what happens to me. It’s only to help your ego.’

‘Damnit. Her words shouldn’t hurt me this much.’ I sighed.

“Hiiiii Harrrryyyy! You’re loookinnggg soooo hottt!!” Amanda squealed as soon as she spotted me.

‘Woah, when you think a person just can’t get any more irritating.’ I, though, not really into the mood to be playing around with her. “What do you sayyyy, iff we goo somewhere a littleee more .. prrrrivatee??”

“No thanks.”

“Damnnnn, Harry! You dirty boooyyyy. I didn’t know you were the type to put on a public show.”

I groaned, rolling my eyes. I really did not want to sleep with Amanda right now. Her green eyes peered into mine as her blonde hair fell around her face and dropped me a wink.

‘Shit. That was kinda hot.’ I thought, watching her step closer to me. I was hit by a wave of her perfume. ‘It wasn’t horrible, but I’ve smelt better.’ I thought, not sure who it was that wore the better perfume scent. Amanda had wrapped his arms around me, planting a sloppy kiss on my lips. Unintentionally, I kissed her back.

Shouting and screaming started to brew in the living room – a fight had broken out. Laughing, I joined in on all the cheering. Suddenly I remembered about Destiny, being missing in this midst of kids. I looked around the room, noticing Destiny wasn’t around, and Amanda wasn’t about to let me go, I decided to take her on my hunt.

As I continued into the kitchen, Amanda showered me with sexual touches, as I coaxed them on. I didn’t know how much time had passed, but I thought enough was enough. She began to turn me on, and Destiny was slipping out of my mind.

“Let’s go find a private room.” My voice hung low, as she nodded.

*Destiny’s POV*

‘Goodness, it smells awful in here.’ I thought, coughing, as I stormed into the house. I began to take random turns in the room until I bumped into a guy about my age.

“Sorry,” I mumbled. I looked up to see a boy who looked a lot like Niall, but with dark hair. It was Justin, from the ice cream store. His eyes were really blue, but I noticed a certain darkness around them. I looked closer and saw a bit of kindness and light in them.

He looked me over. “It’s alright, love.”

“Hey,” I say.

“Hello, Destiny. Want a drink?”

“Uh, no.”

“What are you too goody-goody to drink?”

“Yes,” I say, with a small smile.

“Nice.” Justin nodded, with a light chuckle. “Straightforward. I like it.”

“Thanks.” I smiled.

“Who’d you come with? Everyone’s been saying it was Harry. I don’t see him with you.”

“Oh um … I don’t know … I sort of left him, I should probably go and find him. I’ll be back.”

With that, I escaped into the midst of sweaty, drunk teenagers, as I looked for Harry, feeling bad for leaving him like that. When I had finally found him, he was in the kitchen, with Amanda hanging over him.

‘Gross.’ I, though, the sight makes me want to throw up. Watching a bit longer, I noticed things were getting pretty heated between them. Suddenly I felt self-conscious seeing how skinny she was, her perfectly styled hair and the revealing dress she was wearing.

‘Can’t blame him,’ I, though, ‘She is much prettier and hotter than I could ever be …’

Not being able to stand the sight any longer, I retreated back to Justin.

“Did you find him? Harry?” He asked, sitting on the couch, relaxed with his body spread across it.

“Yeah, but doesn’t matter, he is sorta busy.” I shake my head, giving him a tiny smile.

“Do you want to go somewhere private? You seem a bit tense.” Justin says, in response.

“Yeah.” I nodded, following him upstairs.
