It was around midnight when I finally couldn't stand the intense stare of a certain someone.
I felt exposed, vulnerable and down right uncomfortable.
The deep stare kept me constantly fidgeting. And no it wasn't Nicholi staring. It was the creepy, scary tall figure that sat on my side.....Max.
The entire night he kept his dark eyes solely on me and me alone. He never even said a thing, just sat there quietly observing me.
Jumping up from my seat I loudly exclaimed
"Okay, how bout we hit the bar?!"
I smiled awkwardly, Nicholi gave me a look of somewhat disbelief and amusement.
"Sweet! You heard the lady, let's get wasted!"
Stated an all too happy River, pumping his fist to the sky.
He turned to me for a high five which I reciprocated with equal enthusiasm.
"I could use a drink actually, how bout you Max?"
The short blonde,Tyler asked his taller leaner friend. Max looked at him and for the first time that night he finally spoke.
"Sure"
It was one word but it was something, better than nothing. And his voice was exactly how I'd pictured it....well it's more like imagined but let's not sweat the details, the main point is his voice is deep and gloomy.
The crew got up from their seats and we made our way to the L-shaped bar. Sitting at the edge of the long table, the others made their orders.
"What do you want?"
River turned to me in question, his eyes were weirdly sparkling like a river.....is that why they named him River?
"Helloooo...earth to Reign!"
Snapping out of it, I apologized to River who had a mixed look between worried and ecstatic.
"Oh u-uhm....I'll just have what you're having"
I smiled nervously at him. In the corner of my eye I saw the boy who brought me here give me a curious look.
He and I both knew that I had never drank before and might possibly pass out after the very first gulp.
Soon a drink was placed before me. In a tall, thin glass the content inside a pink, sparkly drink. Two lime slices freely floating inside. It looked appealing, but I couldn't say that it would taste the same.
I wasn't the alcohol type of girl, or atleast I don't think I was since I've never drank it before.
I watched as the guys downed their drinks in one gulp. Swallowing down my bile, I reached for the glass taking my first sip.
It tasted....good. Really good!
Instead of the disgusting, bitter taste of wood I was expecting, I instead got something sweet, and lemony. With a hint of alcohol.
I downed the rest of the drink and asked for another. How I had never tried this before? I have no idea.
It started with one glass, then came a second, then a third, followed by a forth. After a while I lost count of the amount of drinks I had.
By the end of the night, I was drunk as fudge!
"Holy Hanna, did you know that pigs actually fly?"
I slurred my words at an equally drunk River. He laughed at my words, making me frown
I meant it when I said that and he's seeing it as a joke?
"No really, I know cause...cause I made them fly...yeah, that's right!"
I proudly proclaimed with an empty glass hoisted up.
"Wait, so you're saying that babies actually come from the pickle monster and are grown in a vegetable garden?"
Tyler gave River a weird look while shaking his head.
"What? No!"
"So then where do pickles come from?"
"Huh?, Weren't you asking about babies?"
Tyler asked with mild confusion, he looked to his right at the taller male pleading for help. Nicholi just laughed at his friend's stupidity.
"Noooooo, I was asking if the tooth fairy really does dress up the teeth she collects in top hats!"
"Oooohh, I bet she does! What else could a creep who goes into the homes of children and puts her little hands under their pillows for their teeth, which she keeps mind you, do?"
I said with a disgusted face. River looked confused, then his face morphed into one of shock as if he just had an epiphany.
"That's so true!"
He exclaimed after slamming his hands on the bar table.
"Okay kids, I think it's about time we take you home."
And in came the responsible Tyler, as always pooping on the party.
"Hehehe, pooping on the party. That's funny."
The two, much more sober guys looked at me with weird expressions. My eyes widened as my mouth made an "O" shape.
"Did I say that out loud?"
"Yes"
They both replied, I laughed at that.
Looking to my right I again saw the creepy, dark and gloomy Crow sitting idly by.
And you know what he was doing? Yeahp, he was staring at me.....again!
"Dude! Why are you always looking at me? Am I some weird exhibit of weirdness, or is it the first time you see a girl that's as unattractive as me.....oh no I got it, I have something stuck on my face, don't I?"
Crow raised a brow at me while I frantically swatted at my face, looking for that thing stuck on my money maker.
"Reign, you don't have anything on you, stop slapping your face"
Came the authoritative voice of Nicholi. Why was his voice so alluring? Why did it have so much control over me? I'm pretty sure he could tell me to jump over a cliff with that voice and I'd do it.
He's so stupidly good looking, with those forest, green eyes. That look he gives when teasing me, and that smirk.
He's just so hot....it pisses me the hell off!
Without thinking, I got up from my seat. Causing the chair to knock backwards, hitting someone carrying a bunch of drinks, which in turn spilled onto a group of guys who looked sketchy as hell.
The room suddenly went quiet as all eyes landed on me.
Wait was that bad?
A guy from the group came walking up to me. He looked to be the leader. His friends behind him like little pets.
"Hey, what's your problem?"
He stood incredibly close to me, his breath washing over my face. My expression contorted with disgust.
"Your breath's my problem. You know there's a thing called a breath mint right?"
I said while wafting infront of my nose. Everyone "ooed" as some laughed at my burn.
"Do you have a death wish?"
"Woah, I think your mouth is already doing that. I swear my nostrils are burning!"
Laughter filled the room as the guy infront of me seethed in anger. His face turned beetred, which was funny to me at the time.
"Oh you are totally gonna get it"
Lifting his fist he swung it back, as he was about to punch the living hell outta me, one thing went through my mind.
Mind you I was drunk outta my brains, so you couldn't blame me for feeling like King Kong and that I could definitely take a guy who was twice my size with tattoos and piercings all over his face.
The rational part of me told me to run and never look back, but the irrational drunk part,which had overtaken me completely at that point, told me to stay firm and not move.
It works with the world's largest land mammal, who's to say it wouldn't work with a pea brained baffoon?
The giant fist was stopped inches away from my nose. Behind me stood a pissed off Nicholi, one arm extended forward, the other nicely wrapped around my waist.
"She's drunk Pixel, let her off this time."
Nicholi calmly spoke, his eyes intensely green. He looked even hotter pissed o- wait, that guy's name is Pixel? That's the dumbest name ever!
"Pixel, really? What couldn't you come up with an even stupider name?"
I laughed at the angrier looking, piercing faced idiot.
Nicholi pushed me behind him as he took a protective stance. The guys, except for a very drunk River, took their places infront of me as well.
I couldn't help but pout in irritation. I didn't need protecting. That guy was the one needing protecting from me. I'm like a psycho on steroids!
While the boys had a stare off, I slipped past them. Reaching for a jug filled with ice cold water, I threw it at Pixel.
All eyes widened in horror as mine glimmered in delight. And if I didn't know any better I'd say Nicholi had the same look, although his was well hidden behind the scowl scouted on his face.
Before I could even blink a fight broke out. Punches were being thrown, kicks were delivered and a few bodies crashed to the floor.
River and I, too drunk to make sense of anything joined in on the action.
One of Pixel's henchmen came running at me, not knowing what to do I ducked to the floor causing him to trip over my log-like body and collide with the floor.
Astonished by that actually working, I jumped up from the floor to help River. Who by the way was on someone's back thrashing like crazy.
The guy tried peeling off the blue head off him, resulting in River holding onto his neck as a means to save himself from an ugly fall.
I was stopped in my tracks by a guy who held me infront of him. My arms were caged in, leaving my legs free.
I thrashed around in the kidnapper's arms, pushed up on a table making him crash into a wall.
His head banged against the hard surface, making him loose his grip. Without wasting time, I turned around and kicked the guy hard on his right shin.
Running back to saving my new found friend, I took a tray from the bar and slammed it into the opponent's stomach.
This gave River an advantage as he went up onto his neck. He sat himself on the guy's shoulders and wildly swung around.
I kept on swatting him on his back with the tray. Soon he came crashing down.
River and I looked at each other, high-fived and screamed like Vikings as we made our way back into the chaos.
I ended up knocking a few guys out with the tray, and kicked one in the balls; something I always wanted to do.
Climbing up a table I threw myself onto someone's back. My legs were tightly wrapped around their waist as I repeatedly banged the tray against their back, simultaneously screaming like a crazed banchee.
The poor guy lost focus as he slipped on a glass bottle. I quickly jumped off him and watched with delight when he hit a table, causing him to fall over it.
A newcomer thought it was a good idea to hold me by the neck and try to choke me out. Unfortunately for him I was drunk and crazy.
Slamming my elbow into his stomach I twisted his arm around then kicked his butt hard. He lost balance and fell onto another dude.
I somehow ended up on someone's back, slamming the tray on his head and biting him on the shoulder.
Yes, I bite too!
I was about to go and find my next kill when a hand grabbed me. I found myself thrown over a shoulder and carried out of the Cavern....or whatever it's called.
I was facing the fight that I started and how it had now evolved into the entire room brawling.
Chairs were thrown over, people were passed out on the floor. A few girls had lost their shoes, a few missing their hair extensions. Overall it was an utter chaos.
I smirked evilly as I was carried out of the place. I saw Thomas shouting something into his walkie talkie while holding a kid in a headlock.
Making it to the parking lot, I was carelessly thrown into a back seat. Two bodies sat on both my sides as two more entered in the front.
Like lightning we were off onto the dirt road.
River smiled drunkenly at me and I did the same. We soon made it onto the road.
The eyesore LED lights were still on, onlookers still plagued the streets and I was drunk as hell!
At some point, River and I had opened the car roof window, stuck half of our bodies out it loudly singing the "SpongeBob SquarePants" theme song.
Halting at a red light, I looked to the car next to us, two girls in far too revealing clothes gave me weird looks. I jazz hands at them and made a heart with my arms. They giggled and called out "creep".
My smile fell at their rude comment. With a fallen face the car started to move once more. I stuck out my middle fingers at them as we drove off.
Their faces turned sour at their expressions as they seemed offended.
Well that's what you get for being a bitch!
River laughed hysterically as he pointed at their expressions.
I howled at the moon and lifted my hands up over my head as we drove the night away.
"I'm queen of the world...and cheese monkeys!"
"What?! Hahaha"
River laughed yet again as the car swerved violently to the right, causing us to hunch over the roof.
I fell into the car holding my stomach in pain
"Ugh, I think I broke my spleen."
