Yas and I decided to meet halfway to the party which some dude named Mason hosted who was apparently one of Yas's other friend's cousin and she apparently invited Yas who later invited me. The arrangement made me edgy and it gave me a lot of 'what if' like for example what if we or more specifically I, was thrown out of the party due to fact that I wasn't on the guest list or what if I got drunk and made a fool out of myself or I started a fight with someone, the possibilities were so endless.
Yas wanted to dress me up in a sexy angel get-up but I had my own plans which was definitely going to blow her mind
"Oh my god Jess what are you dressed as?" speaking of the she-devil and by she-devil, I meant it literally
"Oh!" I exclaimed in realization "Now I know why you wanted me to go as an angel"
"Duhh Gumbo, now would you explain to me what the flipping flapjack are you dressed as" She referred to my white t-shirt covered by my black hoodie paired with blue washed jeans and air force ones and to complete the whole look I had put in some brand new store bought blue contacts and put on a brownish black wig trimmed to resemble a typical boy's hair which I had gotten as a freshman when I was in the drama club
"Is't it obvious? I'm dressed as Ian Somerhalder"
"How does any of this resemble Ian Somerhalder? Com'on let's go back and get you changed. I still have the angel costume" She started pulling me along and I stopped her
"Yas don't bother, you know I have a curfew and besides we are already to the pusearty, let's just go" Yas seemed to realize and stopped trying to drag me
"Okay" She huffed and said sulkily. The house was 2 blocks away from where we currently met and we walked the rest of the trip there.
"Are you sure I won't get thrown out?" I asked Yas nervously
"Quit being such a big baby I promise they wouldn't throw you out, heck we'll barely get noticed or even see the Mason guy" Yas reassured me which calmed my nerves a little.
The house was pretty big and the music was so loud I hoped the neighbors didn't file a noise complaint report. We had entered with our hands intertwined so we won't separate in the sea of people. The smell of alcohol hit me instantly as well as other unidentifiable smells as we made our way through the drunk and sweaty bodies, suddenly a guy who was dressed as chucky holding an opened half drunk beer with his cap facing backwards on his head said to us
"Hi I'm Mason and you're welcome to my party" I instantly froze up and my grip was deathly on Yas's hand
"Hi I'm Yasmine and this is my friend Jessie" I offered a small smile "Your cousin invited us"
"Oh yeah" He said half dazedly "So you're dressed as a devil and you're dressed as..." He studied me for a while and said with an amazed "Oh my god, dude you're dressed as Finn Jacobs"
"No" I tried correcting but Mason didn't seem to listen
"Dudes you gotta check this out!" Mason screamed at some guys who sat on the sofa and they soon gathered me "Yo check it she's dressed as Finn Jacobs"
"No way" Almost all of them exclaimed and soon I became celebrity everyone gathered me so much that Yas and I separated. They took a lot of pictures of me and some with them too, I was almost completely blinded by the flash due to the fact the whole place was dark and the only source of light was the dark blue LED lights which wasn't help by the way.
I wasn't able to enjoy the party at all, heck I didn't have time to get a drink or even sit down since everyone thought it was fun to make jokes with me but luckily Yas was able to pull me out but sadly it was already a little bit past 12 and my curfew was 12, God I was so screwed. I had to quickly wave goodbye to Yas before running back to my house. I expected mum to be waiting for me with anger but surprisingly she was already asleep so I quickly rushed to my room, I was so tired and my brain was fuzzy and mushy that I fell asleep immediately without taking off anything even my shoes.
I currently sat with Murphy on the couch in the living room eating strawberries while dabbing my eye with a damp handkerchief. Turns out that buying contact lenses from the store wasn't a good idea and also sleeping with them in was also the worst idea which resulted to leaky, irritated pink eye. It's like everything from last night was coming back to bite me in the ass.
Mum had bought some eye drops from the pharmacy which the pharmacist said would clear my eyes before Monday came if I applied it periodically and plus it would helped alleviate the itchiness which was a good sign it was working but my eye refused to stop tearing up.
I was scrolling through TikTok with Murphy who was still on his second strawberry while I had finished the whole bowl, suddenly I got a text from Yas. I opened it and it said 'OMG Jess you are gotta see this' there was a link below which I tapped and it led me to Instagram where I saw myself dressed in the Ian Somerhalder get-up and I looked like I was trying to look as something far which made me squint my eyes and scrunch my nose, I honestly looked awful couldn't the person use a different photo and captioned below was 'MIDTOWN'S HIGH SECOND FINN JACOBS' there was like 100k likes and about 40 thousand comments. I had no idea so many people attended our school or the fact that they knew Midtown High existed. I immediately dialed Yas's number and she picked up in the first ring
"Oh my god Yas this is very huge..."
