This girl is going to kill me one of these days.

Iris Reed has successfully embedded herself in my mind without even me noticing. When I saw a girl in a red dress on the dance floor two months ago, I never thought I would have random lunches with her or just sit with her in the library while she is working. I don't do all these cute mushy things, but somehow, Iris Reed is making me do these before I can even think about what I am doing.

She sure knows how to keep me hooked. Well, that's a lie because even if she just sat in a corner doing nothing, I'd still be gravitating towards her.

"Hey man!" Mason called from the kitchen as soon as I entered the house.

Walking towards the kitchen, I pointedly ignored the chaos in the living room. Source: Noah Reed and Grayson McGowen.

"You can't take my fucking controller away. It's called cheating, you asshole!" Gray accused Noah, glaring at him.

"It's called fucking strategy, you loser!" Noah retaliated with a smirk.

"Come on Knight, back me up." Gray looked up at me, throwing his hands in the air, fed up with Noah's antics.

These two always piss the other off, but I've definitely come to notice a pattern. When one of them is in trouble, they are both in trouble. They always end up doing stupid shit and fucking up together.

I remember a few weeks back; they needed money to buy a new Xbox because they smashed the last one. Grayson and Noah both are fucking loaded, but what better way to earn money than organize a car wash and end up doing a strip show?

Needless to say, the coach was fucking pissed.

"Oh, leave your dad alone. He just had a library date with his crush!" Aiden said with a smirk on his face. He was sitting beside Mason, high-fiving him.

How the hell did he even- oh shit. I suddenly remember clicking a picture of Iris when she wasn't looking and being the smart person I am, I even posted it on my story with an emoji combination of books and a white heart. Her face wasn't really visible in the picture, but if you know Iris and me, you'll instantly know it's her.

"It wasn't a date." I said in a monotone.

"Oh yeah! They were just studying." Noah said air quoting studying.

"Fuck! Did she complete the assignment?" Grayson asked.

"Yeah, she did." I almost forgot that Gray and Iris actually attend the same psychology class.

"Oh fuck! God bless her soul! I totally forgot about the assignment." He said, scrambling off the couch in a hurry.

"Hey! I was the one who posted the story." I pointed out.

"Yeah, but you wouldn't have if you weren't so whipped. So, indirectly...." And then he disappeared into his room.

"He makes sense," Noah commented.

"No, he doesn't." I refused.

"He does."

"He definitely does." The two idiots sitting on the bar stools agreed.

"Whatever." I grumbled and walked towards the stairs to just go and collapse on my bed in my room.

I could feel Mason trailing behind me, and that's why I didn't bother closing the door of my bedroom.

"So, what's really up with you and Iris?" Mason asked, plopping down on my bed while I walked over to my closet.

"I don't really know." I answer honestly.

I don't know what we are doing. Are we flirting? Are we about to date? Are we seeing each other? I don't know what the fuck we are doing, but whatever it is, I don't want it to stop.

"She is your sister's friend. You can't fuck around with her without knowing what you really wanna do dude." Mason rightly pointed out.

"You think I don't know that? I know that very well, but I just can't stop myself. I just have to spend time with her every chance I get." I sighed, sitting down in my chair.

"You sound whipped. Maybe Gray wasn't wrong." He mused, enjoying my misery.

"Yeah, well, you have a girlfriend and literally kiss the ground she walks on. So, you don't get to talk." I pointed out.

"Hey! I fucking own it. I love that girl to the end of this world." He does. He loves Dani with everything he's got.

"Do you wanna date her, you know, in a foreseeable future?" Mason asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I don't fucking know. All I know is that relationships are too fucking complicated and the fact that she is Riley's best friend doesn't make it any easier."

"And you still hang out with her alone? Have you guys kissed?"

"What? No!" I reply, trying to tame my reaction but failing miserably.

"I just asked if you kissed? Why the fuck are you overreacting?" He mused, sitting up.

"I am not overreacting." I grumbled, turning my back to him.

"Dude, you are making such a deal out of a kiss. So, I am gonna take a leap here and say you do actually like her. Admit it or not."

"I don't know what you are talking about Mase." I try to dodge him, but I know this motherfucker is too smart and knows all about that emotional shit.

"Yeah? So, when was the last time you got laid?"

Oh, I am getting laid every night with my fucking right hand because I see her every fucking day!

"Before the practice began." I don't lie to my friends, but I sure as hell can give an indirect answer.

"So, that's before you met her. Bin- fucking-go!" Mason had the biggest grin on his face I've ever seen. Okay, maybe smaller than the one he had when he came back from his date with Dani.

Yeah, he took her out on a fucking date! That's how I knew she was special.

"Calm your fucking tits, Mason!" I told him, flipping him the bird.

"Come on Knight. You obviously like her. Stop acting like you don't." Mason said, standing up, clearing, knowing that's all the reaction he's going to get from me.

"Move quickly, we have a party to prepare for." And with that the advisor was out of my room, but not out of my head.

⤎❁⤏

By the time I stepped down from my room, the party was in full swing. The second floor is off-limits, so it was relatively quieter.

Looking around for the guys, I instantly spotted them at the far wall. Not having anything better to do, I walked towards them.

"Look who decided to join us!" Noah exclaimed, bowing down to me.

He wasn't even drunk yet, and he was already annoying me.

"Yeah, thought I'd honor you with my mighty presence." I replied, leaning against the wall beside Mason, who handed me a freshly opened beer bottle.

"Thanks, dude."

"So, Dani is definitely coming because of Mason, the boyfriend. Riley would never, ever miss a party. What about Reed?" Noah asked.

"She's coming." I said confidently.

"She said that to you?" Grayson asked skeptically.

"No, but what's with that face?" I asked, looking at his doubtful expressions.

"That girl would answer nothing so straightforward. She has to make a fuss about it. She has too much sass." Gray said, shaking his head with a small smile.

"She said 'Maybe. Maybe not.' but I am sure she'll come." I told them honestly.

"That sounds like an Iris reply." Gray commented.

"Dude has confidence in his girl." Noah commented on my confidence.

My girl, I like the way it sounds.

"Both of you have girls to get laid with tonight. Help me and little Gray out." Noah said, ruffling Gray's hair.

I will not sleep with Iris tonight, but I knew better than to have this conversation with Noah.

Instead of saying anything, Gray simply ran a hand through his hair.

"What happened with Kallie?" Mason asked, looking at him.

"She was low maintenance two months ago, now she's just clingy." He replied, scrunching up his nose.

"What about you?" I ask Gray, knowing there was no point talking to Noah because he had already started looking around in search of a girl for the night. Also, I wanted to take my mind off of Iris. I know she'll come, but I can't keep looking at the door every five seconds.

"What about me?"

"Didn't you meet some blonde in New York last month?"

Gray had gone to New York with some of his school friends last month for a weekend and apparently, he met a blonde in a club the night they arrived, and one night later, he can't stop thinking about her.

"I don't know what you are talking about?" Gray said pretending like he doesn't know what I am rambling on and on about.

"Are you fucking kidding me? That's exactly what Ethan said when I asked him about a certain blue-eyed brunette." Mason snorted, shaking his head.

"I hope the brunette is Iris and you're talking about her, only because of Ethan." I heard a familiar voice say.

We all looked over to see Dani coming over to us.

Great! Fucking great. Another person added to the 'let's bother Ethan' list.

"Of course, babe." He met her halfway and engulfed her in a kiss.

Shortly, I saw my sister make her way towards us with two drinks in her hand.

"Hey, guys." She greeted, handling one drink to Dani.

"Hey."

Where the fuck is Iris? I wanted to add but refrained.

"Where is Iris anyway?" Mason asked, looking over at me, smirking slightly.

"Someone called her. She's answering that call." Dani informed, looking me straight in the eye with a slight smirk.

I fucking hate this couple.

I only saw a flash of platinum blonde hair before I was wrapped in arms and legs. I held onto her waist to prevent us both from flying backward, but it backfires when I felt lips on my neck.

I know her.

I know this sickening sweet smell of perfume all too well.

Ariana Moore.

And just because my life is a fucking nightmare, my eyes met familiar blue ones as soon as I looked up. But before I could say something, she turned around and left.

"What the fuck Ariana?" I yelled, pushing her away almost instantly. I was so pissed off because I saw the same emotion on Iris's face before I saw a fraction of hurt.

"What happened Ethan?" She stumbled backward, likely taken back by my outburst. I don't even know how the others were reacting to this or if they even saw Iris.

"You can't just come here and launch yourself at me." I seethe.

I need to leave and talk to Iris before she decided to not see my face ever again, which she likely has already decided by now.

"But baby, I thought you would be happy to see me." She pouted, jutting her bottom lip out.

Ariana is someone I have hooked up with a couple of times. She was great to look at and definitely hot to fuck, but it meant nothing to me and she knows that. Honestly, I would have been slightly happy to see her back because then I wouldn't have to find someone else to get laid, but now I don't need to fuck anyone. I don't want to fuck anyone. I have my eyes set for just one girl, and right now, she is royally pissed at me.

"I am not. I need to go now." With that, I was out of the house in record time with one destination set in my head.

Iris Reed.
