"Uggghhhh"
I pried my eyes open to bright sun beams aggravating the headache that was banging against my skull. My mouth tasted like cotton and I felt a bit nauseous, I reached for my glasses and put them on.
"What the hell did I do last night?"
I groggily said while rubbing my eyes and picking up my phone to see that I've over slept. I then look at Jayce's bedside table to find a cup of orange juice a few pills and a note that read
'Take these they'll help with the headache, I told Melissa that you're gonna take the day off. Oh and thanks for the compliment we should definitely do it again ;) '
I grabbed the pillow and preceded to slap my face into it and scream my heart out. I noticed that he changed me into one of his shirts.
"The basterd had the fucking audacity."
I quickly took the pills and finished the orange juice too jump in the shower and feel clean again. I pick out a cute little poke dot dress and made my way to the kitchen to refill my glass.
As I walked to the kitchen I checked my phone for any messages but when I looked up again I had the misfortune of being mooned by the one and only Sebastian.
"Oh my god! Where are your pants?!"
"Jesus Christ what are YOU doing here?!
He yelled turning around covering his parts, he looked at me like I've allegedly killed his whole family right front of him. My hand shot up to my face coving my eyes after I've zoned out for a while.
"Well go put on some clothes then?!"
I said using my other hand to point behind me to enthesis that he should hurry up.
"Oh"
I hear him scurry past me and not long after a door slamming. I chuckled shaking my head at his shocked face. I processed to throw myself another glass of orange juice, when I heard the door open behind me again.
I turned around with a brow raised questioning his decisions for him as he sheepishly smiled at me while scratching his back.
"Ha sorry about that, I wasn't expecting anyone."
"Its ok Bash I wouldn't have been here if I hadn't gotten drunk last night."
"Oof rough first day?"
"Actually no they were celebration drinks, but it was my first time drinking so I think it kinda hit me harder then we all thought it would."
"Yeah drunk you must've been fun, Oh! Wanne come to a party with me? I was gonna get ready in a few but you looked dressed up soooo wanne tag along?"
"I don't know bash, there's gonna be a lot of guys plus Jay'll totally dismiss the idea."
He then dropped onto his knees and clapped his hands together
"Please please pleaseeee. If its me you're worried about just know that i only see you as a friend from this point forward even though you've seen me naked, and if any other guys bother you just call me and ill beat em up ok? The Jay situation is easy just say that you're apartment hunting because you feel bad for living here for free. So what do you say sista? lets bond?"
I laughed at his desperate attempt to make me come to a stupid party, I mean I've never been too one and the excuse for Jay sounds believable. Fuck it.
"Sure I'll come, but you better keep all of these promises you're making Bash."
"Sweet, and yes I swear ill keep them."
He said garbing my hand kissing it and running off to get ready I guess. As I waited I finished my juice and played a cute lil game on my phone.
"Jay gets home at like 6 so we should probably get going."
"Jesus! We really need to stop scaring each other like that."
"Nah it can like be our thing. You ready to go though?"
"Yeah let me just write Jayce a note."
I said grabbing a piece of paper and a pen.
"Why don't you just text him?"
"He he I don't know, I guess that's our thing?"
"Fair I'll be waiting in the car, be quick about it."
X X X X X
The drive there took much longer than I expected, but it worked out because I found out that Bash also likes one of my favorite bands so the whole way there we sang their songs on the top of our lungs. It was the funest thing I've done in a while and made me appreciate giving Bash a chance to redeem him self.
"Ok Ana looks like were a bit late, there's already a ton of people there so prepare yourself."
"Please don't worry about me this should be fun for the both of us. I'll be fine I'm not 12 anymore, enjoy yourself."
"Ok but if anything happens to you just know that Jay'll kill me, so don't be reckless."
I smiled and proceeded to get out of the car and mentally prepared myself to get hammered out of my mind. As we walked closer to said party the music boomed off of the house and i could see a few people hanging outside either passed out, talking or making out.
When we entered the house it felt like we've just enter another dimension or something, different colored lights were shining everywhere, people were dancing on each other and everything looked like a damn movie. Bash grabbed my hand and pulled me somewhere. We ended up in the kitchen, he handed me some pills and proceeded to throw 2 shots.
"The pills will help you stay sober for longer, here take the shot with it!"
I put the pills on my tongue and looked at Bash to see if he was ready.
"Salud!"
After that we went our separate ways, Bash to the swarm of people dancing while I went where there were equally as many people but were talking or kissing. I looked around feeling kind of out of place when suddenly someone bumped into me knocking off my glasses in the process.
"Watch where you're- Ayana?! What on earth are you doin here?!"
"Melissa is that you?!"
She then walked around me to face me but thats when I heard a crack. My glasses.
"Oh no I'm so sorry Ana didn't see them. I didn't even know you wore glasses!"
"Its alright Melissa its my fault for not thinking ahead of time, this was bound to happen at some point tonight!"
"Come on sweetie let me get you a drink!"
She hooked her arm into mine as she led me to the kitchen
"So what do you want hun? a beer? Maybe a cider?"
"Vodka."
"Christ you grew up fast, comin right up."
I laughed as I waited for her to finish throwing the drink. She handed it to me and took me with her where ever that was.
"So how did you stumble upon this party?!"
"Oh with Jayce's flatmate Bash, he invited me so I accepted. I've never been to one of these before it seems fun!"
"oh darling it hasn't even started yet, I assume Jay doesn't know about this right?!"
"Yeaaahhhh so please don't rat me out!"
"I ai'nt no snitch dont worry, a few people and I are gonna play shots or dare wanne join?!"
"Sure?!"
"Ok wait here, I'll go get an bottle!"
She walked off leaving me by a couch which I gladly sat on waiting for her to come back, there was a guy sleeping next to me but I don't think he minded me. Everything kinda looks like a colorful blob, one big dark blob was approaching me so I assumed it was Melissa but she wasn't that big-?
"What the fuck are you doing here?!"
"Sorry do I know you?!"
I yelled over the music squinting my eyes to see if I can make out his face, but I cant.
"You're really playing dumb right now?!"
"I really don't-"
"OK EVERYONE THAT WANTS TO PLAY SHOTS OR DARE COME JOIN!"
I stand up going towards Melissa's voice leaving the rude stranger behind me. She tells me to go sit in the circle and that she'll join in a minute. So I went to go sit crossed legged beside two people.
"Ok guys everything's on the table except any kinds of sex!"
She spun the bottle.
"Ok Tom take shots or kiss Jessica next to you."
"Ight, you down Jess?"
"Fuck it."
After that he spun the bottle.
"Ok John 5 shots or go talk to Maddie."
"Nope shots it is."
He took all 5 of them and then spun the bottle.
"Ok man 10 shots or 10 min in the closet with the red head over there."
"What? why the fuck 10?!"
"Shots or min?"
"Shots dumbass, and why with her?"
"Because, you've been with every other girl here except her you man whore, just do it I don't wanne hurl you're body home with me."
He stood up and mumbled under his breath of what and asshole he is. He then grabbed my arm and dragged me with him, I was anxious for no reason at all but my nerves were building. He then closed the door which muffled the music tremendously.
"Do you really not remember me Ayana?"
I was taken aback by his abrupt conversion started.
"No, plus I don't have my glasses on so I cant see far-"
He immediately pulled me closer by my waist, I looked up wide eyed at him smirking, he did that out of no where. Iam happy I'm being held up my legs feels like jello i think the alcohols taking its affect on me or maybe its because were so close.
"Well?"
He said expectantly.
"Oh um, yeah?"
"Do I look familiar now?"
He said more impatiently, I actually looked at him now squinting my eyes trying to adjust my vision in the dark, when I realized who he was my jaw dropped. My eyebrows raised to heights they never have because of how wide my eyes were open at this point, he slightly pushed me away from him.
"Jesus christ Ian is that you?
"In the flesh bitch."
"Are you still on about that? Its been years Ian how are you still keeping a grudge against me?"
"I don't fucking care Ayana you bullied me to the point of leaving the goddamn school, what sane person does that?!"
"Ian I was 14! I've changed! And just so you know I only did it because i really liked you but you and Claire were together so I just turned that jealousy into hatred!"
"..."
"I'm really sorry. But come on man suck it up its been literal yea- "
He instantly grabbed me and slammed his lips against mine, I dropped my drink and wrapped arm around the back of his head gripping his hair, every thought i had disappeared. He grabbed my ass and lifted me off of the ground as I wrapped my legs around him, he then broke our kiss.
"I see you still like me then"
