"Keep your face towards the sunshine, you will never see the shadow."

Melina's pov

"That's probably because he just got the news about me going to ruin his life," I answer Reese while taking the sip of my cranberry flavored drink.

"And why would you do that?" He asks me arching an eyebrow.

"Firstly, what Jason told me was a lie. Ryan made a bet on Giselle saying that who ever wins could have her. Secondly, Ryan was the one who ruined my relationship with Ian and he's going to pay up for partly being the reason for all my breakups," Ian is my ex boyfriend.

We dated a year ago and he started hanging out with Ryan. One day I found him hooking up with a girl and it all started with Ryan's stupid dare. They continued to hook up and one day there was this video of them making out in a party that went viral all over the school.

Now, isn't that bad enough for me to hate Ryan?

"I could help you bash them up, if you want," Reese winks at me and I grin.

"Why don't you just relax and watch the show? I know that you would get involved anyway 'cause Giselle is surely going to try seducing you," we start laughing at the thought of Giselle.

"Are you guys shifting to your old house?" I ask him and find him staring at some girl.

"Reese you're not hooking up tonight, are you?" I ask him with a grin. He's a fucking perv.

He looks at me with a smirk before talking, "Maybe not tonight."

"Would you like to hang out tomorrow?" He asks me and I smile.

Why would I say no?

"Of course!" I squeal making him laugh. My phone buzzes and I take it into my hands.

Jason: you didn't have to act like a bitch!

I smirk before replying to his message.

Me: you didn't have to be a dick and trust me this is just the start.

Reese gives me a questioning look and I hold out my phone for him. He starts smirking as he reads the message.

A frown makes its way onto my face as I see Ian heading towards us but it is soon replaced by a smirk. He hasn't confronted me in nearly four months and I'm sure it's about Ryan now. Ian had the 'what the hell do you think you are' look.

I'm Ms. Popular.

I'm so full of myself but come on what's wrong with a girl having this attitude? I don't follow the rules, I break them and make my own ones. Every one has their reasons, so do I.

"Do you really think that you can ruin Ryan?" Isn't it close to the question I expected?

"Are you his boyfriend or something? I guess he has a mouth of his own and can speak for himself," I point out. Reese was already trying had not to laugh.

"You're not doing yourself any good," he hisses and I roll my eyes at him and look across the room to find Ryan staring at me. I show him my finger and see him frown a little which makes me smirk.

"I guess your girlfriend got the answer so you may fuck off," I say looking at Ian who is totally embarrassed. He storms away from us in Ryan's direction and we start laughing.

"Mel that was hilarious!" Reese starts laughing loudly and I join him. This has been the best party ever. Bailey and Alex look at us like we just went crazy and we laugh harder.

Reese explains what happened and they both join us. I feel like my plan about ruining Ryan is going to be the best thing I ever did.

"Did you come here alone?" I ask Reese.

"Nah, Jace came home saying that his car broke down so I drove him here and joined the party." He explains and I frown. Jace was here?

"He told me that he has a date with Ally," Alex says and I look at him with confusion. Why would he lie to us?

"Jace would never come to a party with out us," I state and my eyes scan the area to find Jace.

I find him making out with some red head. "He's busy shoving his tounge into some red heads mouth."

"Let me just interrupt his interesting make out session before he chooses to fuck her right here," Reese says and I look at how disgusted his expression was. I've seriously got the biggest dick heads as friends.

"It's twelve thirty already, it's better we leave as soon as Reese gets here," Bailey suggest and I nod in agreement.

After about two minutes I find Reese dragging Jace away from the red head. Damn! That's Ivy. She's Giselle's friend and she's exactly like her. You know what I mean right? I'm talking about the slutry look on her face and her dressing.

I wonder what would happen if Ally found Jace with Ivy and why on earth is Jace here when he's supposed to have a date with Ally. I stand up and even out my short midnight blue dress. I feel someones hand on my waist and before I could react, I was facing Jason. He kisses me and I try pushing him away.

I successfully get out of his grasp and slap him without a second thought. He's drunk and it's obvious cause he shamelessly kissed me after so much humiliation today.

"You're an asshole Jason!" I yell at him and he gives me a sheepish smile. Is he even in his senses? Definitely not 'cause he doesn't seem to realise that I just slapped him. Honestly I don't feel betrayed or anything after what he did.

"This guy is seriously out of his senses," Reese says in disbelief and I chuckle. Didn't I just say that?

"Do you really think you can ruin me?" I hear a voice behind Reese and look over.

Ryan Walter.

"I'm sure of it," I say with a confident tone. He had a fucking annoying smirk plastered across his face.

"What took you so long? Were you trying to console your boyfriend from all the humiliation he had?" I ask with a raised eyebrow and a smirk but what looked strange is that his smirk did not leave his face.

"Nah, I was looking out for Ms. Popular."
