Today was your 18th birthday, which was very scary. Officially being an adult …

Silver lining was your now could drunk and so with your mum, aunts and one cousin who was old enough to drink— they all took you to their favourite bar. The four of them drank like crazy and so you knew this would end with them being practically paralytic.

You decided to dress up nicely, straighten your thick waist length hair and put the best makeup you own on. After all it was one of the most significant birthdays of your entire life.

At the pub you had ordered your first legal round of drinks, shots for everyone and beer for your aunts. Personally you could not disgusting and stuck to a vodka and coke.

Two hours passed and your aunts and mum had bumped into some old friends and got rowdy. All making dirty jokes and comments. Beside you sat your 19 year old cousin, staring at boys she found ‘fit’.

Only one group of people caught his attention. He was tall with dark blonde hair and very loud. He was the most obnoxious person in the pub, which said a LOT. The group he was with were all in their early twenties, laughing at him for whatever reason.

And yet when he, Simon Riley, went to the bar, alone, you decided to approach him. After much teasing from your cousin. Never had you approach a boy. The guy you found insufferable to hear boasting and joking about.

After half an hour of discussion you discovered that he actually didn’t know any of the people within the group. He just approached them and made friends, which was … quite sweet. Honestly he wasn’t as bad as he had seemed.
