heartache - mattheo riddle

amirah norwood;

i can hear music playing and people shouting as i walk downstairs with my two best friends

the smell of smoke in the air is strong, more particularly weed. which means someone has bud, and i'm gonna find out who

when we reach the bottom of the staircase we see students scattered everywhere, talking with their friends, or dancing around with their partners

i immediately walk over to the drink table and pick up a red plastic cup

'vodka?' i say, holding up the bottle and smiling at lorenzo and draco who followed behind me

'yes, thank you' enzo says, grabbing himself a cup and handing another cup to draco

i pour until the cup is almost halfway full, and then ask draco if he wants me to pour him some, to which he said yes

once i've poured the drinks for the boys, i pour myself one as well. 'mouth full in 3...2...1!' i say to enzo, we both lift the cups to our mouths and take around 2 shots worth of vodka

enzo screws his face up and coughs but gets over it in a second

'how in the world don't you make a face?' enzo asks me as if i was some sort of super hero or something

'got used to it for a while, yeah it burns but i'm not going to be seen looking like a 12 year old trying alcohol for the first time' i laugh, so does draco

'oh, no offence enzo' i smile, he looks at me shocked for a second but eventually he laughs as well

'mira, enzo, do you want to go sit with blaise and dahlia?' draco asks us

i think about it for a second, i don't know if dahlia likes me or not. she's super confusing. but i agree to go over

we walk over and sit down in the box that they've made with the four couches

'hey dahlie. sup blaise' draco says

'hi dray' dahlia answers, blaise nods his head at draco, then at enzo. 'hi amirah' he finally says to me

i smile at him, but stay quiet, wondering if i should say hi to dahlia when all of a sudden my thoughts were interrupted

'hey amirah' dahlia smiles at me sweetly

i smile back at her 'hi dahlia'

i sit down next to enzo on the left side of the couch, with draco sitting on the other side of enzo

'i wanna play a game' enzo says to the group of us

'what type of game?' a voice asks, i look up and see mattheo sitting down with us. directly opposite

'truth or dare?' i suggest

'did i hear truth or dare?' pansy says, appearing out of literally nowhere

i move from sitting forward on the couch, to leaning back on the couch so i didn't have to look at her

pansy sits practically on top of mattheo, but mattheo pushes her off him and pulls a disgusted look

'there's this called personal fucking space' mattheo says in an annoyed tone

'geez. okay then' pansy says, moving to the empty couch in front of blaise and dahlia

'i've got veritaserum, if we play truth or dare we have to play properly' dahlia says with a smile on her face

'i'm down' i agree, blaise, enzo and draco all nod their heads. 'fuck it. sure' mattheo also agrees
