Between Us |ACM|

5.

It's snowing outside, and it's supposed to snow until Sunday, fucking kill me.

| HUDSON |

     "So tell me why you've been leaving with the hottie Austin Mahone lately" Hannah smirks.

"He's helping me catch up in math" I shrug "Strictly platonic" 

"For over a month?" 

"Yeah" I laugh.

"Wow you're so boring" She laughs "I expected some juicy details"

"Nope, sorry" I chuckle "I'm quite boring" 

"I can tell" She nods with a smile "I'll see you later Hudson" She waves.

"Bye Hannah" I wave back, walking into math. I take my seat, Austin ignoring the fact that I'm sitting next to him. I roll my eyes and kick my feet up onto the desk, picking at the nail polish on my fingers. Zach walks in, turning around to face Austin.

"You still coming over later?" Zach asks, and Austin nods "Cool. Hudson you should come too" He turns to me, and I raise my eyebrows.

"Come where?" 

"To my house, we do this all the time, and since you're new you should come and hang out with us" He smiles, I glance over at Austin who has his jaw clench, glaring at Zach.

"Sure" I agree, specifically to piss Austin off. If he's going to be an ass, I'll be an ass right back.

"Cool, give me your phone" He smiles, and I hand him my phone. He puts in his number and texts himself from my phone to save my number "I'll text everything to you" He hands me my phone back, turning his attention to Mr. Watkins. 

The day seemed to end fairly soon after, and before I even realized it, I was in my room changing to go over Zach's house. I threw on a grey t-shirt tied in the front, and a pair of white shorts and my black high-top converse. I clip back my hair, and apply some eyeliner. I grab my phone and skip down the steps, a dreaded voice stopping me.

"Where do you think you're going?" My mom's voice stops me.

"I'm going to a friends Ma" I roll my eyes.

"Why didn't you ask?"

"Because I didn't feel the need to" I shrug, and before she can respond I'm walking out of the door. I get into my car, typing Zach's address into my GPS and I drive off, making it there in about 20 minutes.

"Hey" He opens the door before I can knock.

"Hi" I smile, and he let's me in. 

"Everyone just got here, so you're right on time" He leads me to the living room "You already know Austin and his girlfriend" He chuckles "But that's Alex and the other one is Robert" He points to the other two "Guys this is Hudson" 

"Hi" They both wave, and Zach pulls me down into a seat next to him. 

"So what do you want to do? We can play a video game, or watch a movie" 

"I like video games" I chuckle.

"Alright, go take your pick" Zach points to the cabinet full of games, I don't even debate on what game to pick as soon as I see Dying Light.

"This is my shit" I hold it up, and Zach walks over taking it from me.

"Then we shall play your shit" He snorts.

"That sounds oddly creepy" Alex laughs.

"It really does" I laugh.

"Do you guys really have to play that?" Tiffany butts in "I don't like those kinds of games"
