Chapter 5 - "Just to try to figure out?"

[Abi's POV]

Holy fuck it's been 1 am. I need to search for Richa so I can just go back home, but where to find her in this big fat house? I'm not able to find any known faces so that they could have helped me. I need to go upstairs to find her. As I'm walking upstairs I came across the people who are drunk as fuck, making out on the corridor, some are having a passionate kiss as it's the last day for them on mother earth. Gosh. Wait, where will be Nate fucking around? Since long I didn't saw him. Never mind he might be busy with one of those chicks. As I was looking out for Richa my eye caught, Ethan.

"Hey, Ethan," I called him.

"Yes." He replied.

"Did you saw Richa anywhere?" I asked him.

"Yeah, they all are hanging out in the lawn." He said.

"Can you please take me there?" I asked.

"Yeah sure." He said.

I followed him for the lawn. The lawn is full of a bunch of people.

There I saw Richa, Nate, and others playing spin the bottle.

"Richa, "I called her.

"Abiii, Come and join us in the game." She asked.

"can we leave for a home it's already 1.30 am, we are getting late," I asked.

"But it's just 1.30 am, Abi, come and join us in the game please." Nate insisted.

"Okay." I sigh.

"We are playing spin the bottle game," Nate said.

The game begins. A bottle is placed on the floor in the center of the circle. Nate spins the bottle. The bottle pointed towards Ethan when it stops spinning. He chooses dare and was asked to kiss a person whosoever entering first in the lawn whether a girl or guy. Soon after second somebody got lucky to get a kiss from Ethan. Unfortunately, It was one of our class fellow, a boy. Next, it was Richa who chooses to dare and got to strip down. She just stripped her clothes but was in her undergarments. The bottle turned and stopped at me. I choose Truth, as I didn't want to perform such crazy and demean dare.

"Brief us about your first kiss," Nate asked.

"I didn't have my first kiss yet," I said in a low tone.

"Ooooh." The crowd chorus.

"I mean come on I didn't find a guy who should get my first kiss," I said.

The game resume. It was Nate. He chooses to dare. Ethan gave him a dare to kiss me. Which was the shock to me? Nate came in the center of the circle. He was coming close to me. My heart was pumping at a high possible speed. My inner subconscious was dancing vigorously.

He bends his head towards me. Suddenly, a thought hit me and I turn down the kiss. The crowd was shocked. As if I'm the only girl who turns down Nate. My inner subconscious got unhappy. Nate got disappointed.

As I did injustice to him. It was silent in the background

"Excuse," I said.

Nate moved back to his place. I asked Richa if she is coming with me for home or should I go alone?

We got back to Ethan's car. He was driving us back home. It was silent in the car. I begin the conversation to break the silence.

"It was a great party I have attended," I said to them.

"It's always," Ethan answered.

Rich didn't speak any single word about it. She kept silent the whole way. We reached home. I good night her, but didn't get the reply. She walked in a furious manner to her home. God knows what I did to her.

Oh fuck, need to deal with mom. Hope, she is sleeping. I unlocked the door. My sandal is in my hand so that there should be in-drop silence. I closed the door and turned back. My heart came to my mouth.

"Mom, you scared me," I said.

"Is this a time to come home." She said.

"No," I whispered. "But it was our first party, was enjoying and didn't realize the time," I said.

"Better be caution next time." She ordered.

"Yes," I nodded.

I headed upstairs to my bedroom. I got showered and dressed in Pyjama set which has long sleeve, velvet hoodie, and two side pockets. Within a minute a hopped in my comfy bed.

Nate threw a fabulous party at his house. I liked his house, party and... Nate too but a bit. How can he get ready to kiss a girl whom he hardly knows? Do I want to kiss him? Probably, yes he is good looking with a pleasant personality. But I can't kiss a random guy. If he would have been my boyfriend. I would have definitely kissed him. Is he showing interest in me? But how come on earth he will fall for me. What the hell happened to Richa? Why she is ignoring me? She didn't talk well to me. Just trying to figure out all that exactly I did to Richa. I did not disappoint her. Might be she got tired. I will talk to her tomorrow and will try to resolve if she has any problem. I can barely keep my eyes wide open.

I'm sleeping.
