"wow, you look like a mess" jordan pointed out as i came and sat outside on the doorsteps with him.

"yeah, thanks" i replied, rubbing the sleep out of my eyes and comfortably pulling my hoodie sleeves over my hands.

"those peravích parties can get crazy, how many jager shots?" he wondered.

"no, not shots - the bottle" i corrected. he chuckled and shook his head at me just as kenzie approached us.

"hey girl" she yawned.

"hey".

"feeling shitty too?" kenzie sat down beside me and rested her head on my shoulder.

"of course" i agreed, just as jack jogged down the street to join us.

"hey bro, what's up?" jack exchanged a quick handshake with jordan.

"hey, where the fuck are my cigarettes?!" our dad yelled from inside the house.

jordan rolled his eyes and cursed under his breath in response, making me assume that he took that packet of marlboros from dave. he threw away his finished cigarette before heading back inside.

"honestly, i can still feel the tequila in my stomach" kenzie sat up and said, holding onto her belly. we watched her gag a little, then cover her mouth and suddenly run inside my house.

"told y'all not to get carried away last night!" jack called out so that his sister could hear, as well as me.

he leant against the banister, lighting up a new cigarette. he eventually released a cloud of smoke with a smirk plastered on his face.

"what?" i questioned.

"you don't remember what happened last night?" he came and sat beside me.

last night was a complete blur - i think the last thing that i remember clearly was arriving at the party.

"no, what happened?" i cautiously asked.

"well, let's see" jack began. "you drove away the girl that i was trying to bang, i had to drag you back here because you were so wasted, you then insisted that i stayed so that i could bang you instead, which i didn't, and then you passed out".

i thought back to his account of the night and started to get small flashbacks, that i was eventually pretty shocked that it was even me.

"i missed out on the best bj in the neighbourhood for you, so i hope you're happy".

i rolled my eyes and rested my arms on the step above me, "gimme a break".

"but then again you did turn me on a lot last night, sanchez" he raked his eyes up and down me, placing that smirk back on his lips.

embarrassed by my actions, i ran my fingers through my hair and tried to brush it off.

"i was drunk, jack. okay, sober me would have never done that, so calm down" i insisted.

he chuckled at my reaction, then passed me his cigarette, "so, uh, you and peravich, huh?".

"what?" i recalled, releasing the smoke until i began to remember. "oh fuck, tommy, was it? to be honest, i'm surprised you even saw that while sucking maya's face off".

"jealous" jack spoke underneath a fake cough.

"fuck you" i narrowed my eyes at him, playfully nudging him to the side before going inside to check on kenzie.

i sat in front of the tv, procrastinating my calculus homework by watching what ever trash tv my father and brother were invested in right now.

my phone vibrated in my pocket with an incoming call, thankfully giving me something else to do, but i wasn't that psyched when i read the caller id.

"what do you want, jack?" i answered the line.

"from you? a lot of things" he teased and i could picture the smirk on his face right now. "where should i start?".

"is this why you called?" i asked, hearing chaos from his family in the background - the complete opposite to my quiet end.

"no, i was wondering if i left my lighter and cigarettes at your place?".

i sighed, "maybe, i don't know".

"can you check? please? can't afford a new pack right now".

i let out another sigh and got up to check around the living room. after being pushed out the way of the tv several times, i soon recognised jack's red lighter by a pack of marlboros.

"yeah, they're here" i informed him.

"sweet, i'll be over in 5" he told. "wear something sexy".

"bye jack" i ignored his usual behaviour and hung up the line.

taking longer than five to come and pick up his things, jack was nowhere to be seen so i finally decided to get going with my homework in meantime.

eventually, i heard a knock on the front door and i waited patiently to hear someone answer it, but another knock quickly followed.

annoyed, i got up from my bed and walked into the living room to see my dad and jordan alive and well enough to answer it.

i scoffed at them both, aggressively pushing through jordan's legs on the coffee table and opened the door.

"hey" jack greeted before following me into the house.

entering my room, i picked up the cigarettes and lighter and handed them to jack.

"thanks" he responded before stuffing them into his pocket and suddenly lying down on my bed and getting comfortable.

i frowned, "what are you—".

"what's this?" he inquired, picking up one of the various sheets of homework that lay on my bed sheets.

"math" i answered, receiving a look of confusion on his face. "some of us actually want to graduate and get out of a hell hole called high school".

"what topic? calculus?" jack wondered as he scanned through my questions and answers. "okay so 3 is wrong, so is 4...and uh, 7 too".

shocked, i snatched the papers off him, "shut up, no they're not".

he rested his arms underneath his head, "the two functions are equal if rules are also equal and their domains are the same".

with confusion, i raised my brow at his response, hardly believing that those words came out of jack's mouth.

"why'd you take calc if you can't do it?" he chuckled, practically mocking me.

"i can do it" i retorted. "i just....you know what? why are you still here? you have what you came for".

he shrugged, "i like your company, is that a problem?".

"yes it is, i'm sure that maya or nina would love your company right now instead".

"nah, already been there today — worn out"

i grimaced at his response then decided to ignore him and get this homework done since it was now 10pm and due early tomorrow.

jack eventually got off my bed and started wondering around my room to fill his boredom. i glanced up from my work and caught him observing most details.

he opened one of the few drawers and lifted up one of my lace thongs - he wriggled his brows and i reached up to snatch it from him.

he retrieved his hand back and thankfully showed me him putting it back neatly. god, why is he such a child?

"you don't really have much in here, do you?" he mentioned after a while.

"i don't have much stuff, or stuff i care about enough to keep" i said, keeping my eyes on the next calc question.

"why's that?".

i sighed, shrugging my shoulders, "no photos because no family or friends to make good memories with, no one's ever really given me anything worth cherishing".

as i spoke, jack continued looking around my room.

"oh and mom's an addict and dad's a bum who both never cared about me. should i go on?" i retorted.

"no, i think i'm good" he informed then came back to his original spot on my bed. "you're a very hostile person, do you know that?".

"what, but you can see through me and know that i have this wall up that i'm scared of people tearing down?".

jack laughed, quickly licking his lips, "it's not a cheesy high school rom com, but then again you said it, not me".

i couldn't help but let out a small laugh too. his smile is always so infectious to me, that's one of the reasons why he bugs me from time to time.

shaking it off, i tried to get back to my homework with jack being very good at distracting me whenever he gets the chance.

"i have really hot flashbacks of this room and this exact spot" he brought up.

"let it go. i was drunk".

"you wanted me, sof" he proudly smiled whilst biting down on his bottom lip.

"as you keep saying" i shrugged off, thinking of the answer to the question i was on.

jack leant in closer to see the work that i was writing down. he stayed like this for a while and i tried to ignore him but it wasn't long until i started to feel his breath fanning my neck.

i attempted to brush off the chills that he gave me, but i barely had time to before his hand began stroking my bare thigh.

"what are you doing?" i quietly asked, even though i was sure he was just trying to prove something.

"shhhh" he whispered, his face being only a few centimetres away from mine.

my breathing hitched as jack leant in and surprised me by going for my collarbone instead of my lips. he placed slow and warm kisses against my body, working his way up my neck and eventually to my ear.

i managed to let out a small moan of pleasure, making jack's chuckle deeply at my reaction.

"so easy" he spoke in my ear.

in that moment, his words threw me back into reality. i instantly started to push him away from me and off my bed.

"leave, go" i ordered.

"okay, but let me just say one thing" he stopped me and i waited patiently. "...fuck, i could hear you moan all day".

i blushed at his piercing eyes staring at my lips, that i got up and started to lead him towards my door, "out".

"but maybe next time the moan will preferably be in my name" he added with a cheeky wink.

"go!" i laughed, finally getting him out of my room and shutting the door behind him.

i leant against the door and pushed my hair back, still feeling slightly heated by jack's little stunt and smiling at how much of an idiot he is.
