Getting Even

2. The Party

As I stood there in front of my closet, debating between what I should wear, I heard the front door slam close. Next thing I know, my best friend was sprawled across my bed. "So, what are you wearing tonight?" She asked as she tossed her bag to the ground.

I turned around and looked at her with a grateful smile. "I was actually going to ask you to help me." I pulled out two different outfits and laid them out on the bed. One was a tight, black dress that hugged my curves along with a pair of tall, black pumps that made my legs look long and toned. The other outfit was a pair of white skinny jeans, with a pastel pink and cream colored tank top with a chevron pattern and shiny, cream colored pumps.

"I think you'd look sexy in both. If you just want to have some fun, go with the skinny jeans. If you want to get laid, go with the black dress." She smirked and gave me a wink.

"You are unbelievable." I said as I glared at her. "Fine, I'll go with the skinny jeans. I don't plan on losing my virginity any time soon."

She rolled out of bed, grabbed my black dress, and headed straight for the bathroom. "I'm so glad we are the same size. Shoes included." I could hear the smirk on her lips.

I quickly undressed and threw my outfit on, adding a few gold bangles and the gold necklace Brody got me for our two year anniversary. It was a heart shaped locket with our picture inside of it. Just as I finished putting my outfit together, Chelsea walked out of the bathroom.

"You. Look. HOT. Chels." I told her as I took in the outfit.

"Whatever. Not nearly as good as you look." She said as she eyed my outfit. "You look sexy now, imagine if you were wearing this dress."

"I'm not the one getting laid tonight. Am I now?" I replied with a wink. She just rolled her eyes at me. "Okay. It's six o'clock. The party is in an hour. We don't want to roll up on time. We've got to be fashionably late. We still have to do our hair, then our makeup, brush our teeth. Oh goodness, being a girl sucks." I said as I slumped on my bed.

"Let me do your makeup. Please?" I stared at her for what seemed like forever before agreeing.

An hour later, we were both standing in front of my full length mirror admiring each other's work. She leaned in and added the finishing touch. Lip gloss. It was 7:10. At that, I grabbed my car keys, my clutch, and we made our way out the door.

"Bye mom. Bye dad. Love you. I'll be back later." I didn't bother to stick around for their answer. We hurried out to the car, started it and was on our way.

It was a twenty minute drive, and as we approached the house, I could see Colton's house ahead of me. It was huge. You could tell his family was rich. As we got closer, we could see that the party was in full swing. You could hear music blasting. People were running around the yard obviously drunk already. We got out of the car and started walking towards the house. Once we got inside, we had to pretend we didn't notice the people who bumped into us. I made my way to the drinks and grabbed a beer. After opening it, I realized I shouldn't be drinking. I needed to be the designated driver. I set it back down, grabbed a water, and went to find Chels.

Pushing my way through the crowd, I spotted Colton along with the rest of the football team. I didn't see Brody among them. He might not have made it yet. Colton and his friends were playing beer pong. You could tell they were getting really drunk. None of them could make it in the cups. I walk past them heading towards the basement, when something catches my eye outside. All of the cheerleaders were in their bathing suits each taking turns jumping into the pool. I move closer to the window only to see most of the guys enjoying their view. Of course the cheerleaders were going to be the sluts at the party.

I moved towards the basement again. Making my way downstairs, I stopped mid step to hear groaning. A girl's voice yells out, "Oh God, Michael." Wait, is that Chelsea. I slowly retreated not wanting to disturb my best friend. I knew she would get laid. I didn't think it would be so early though. I took my phone out of my clutch to check the time. 8:45? Have I really been wandering around for that long?

I started moving aimlessly not knowing where I was going. I found myself walking up the stairs towards the bathroom. I didn't realize I had finished my water off either. I went to the bathroom and threw away my bottle. I might need to use it while I'm at it. When I finished, I walked out. I heard voices in the room to the left. I walked over and leaned in close to the door so I could hear. When I knew it wasn't Brody, I continued on to the next room. Do I really think that my boyfriend would cheat on me?

I opened the next door to a huge bedroom with what looked like a king size bed. This must be the master bedroom. It had high ceilings with a wood flooring that corresponded with the rest of the room. It was beautiful and obviously expensive. I made my way towards the master bathroom and walked in. This bathroom was as big as my house. It had a jetted tub, with a huge walk in closet and a porcelain toilet. The floor was a beautiful marble, much like the one in the foyer downstairs. I turned around only to see a very angry Colton glaring down at me.

"What the hell are you doing in here? Didn't you see the sign that say not to come in here? This room is off limits," He yelled. He was gripping my forearm.

I just stood there gaping at him. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to intrude, I just wanted to look. It's just so beautiful in here."

His eyes softened and he let go of my arm. "It's okay. I'm just glad you weren't doing the dirty with that prick boyfriend of yours." He just smirked.

"What? I thought ya'll were friends?" I asked Colton.

He just rolled his eyes at me. "Of course we're friends, but that doesn't mean he's still not a dick. Now please, get out of the room before my parents find out. They have this sixth sense thing. It's quite sickening actually." I followed him out of the room and just stood there outside of the door. He made his way downstairs but stopped when he noticed I wasn't following. "You coming?" He asked.

"Yeah, sure. I'll be down in a sec." He hesitated before nodding and continued on.

I made my way towards another bedroom down the hall and stopped. I slowly turned the knob and walked in only to reveal a much naked head of the cheerleader. "Oh, I'm so sorry, I'll just..." I stopped in mid-sentence when her lover peeked his head out from behind her. Brody. I just stood there with my mouth wide open not knowing what to say. He pushed her off of him as he gathered the sheets in front of him to hide himself.

I closed my mouth as I realized I could feel tears running down my cheeks. "I guess Chels isn't the only one who got laid tonight, huh Brody?" I ripped off the necklace he gave me, and threw it at him. I ran out of the room and down the stairs as fast as I could. I turned around and looked up to see him still chasing after me. I guess he had time to throw jeans on, because that was all he had on. I ran through the crowd towards the basement still crying, until Chels stopped me along the way asking if I was okay.

"Oh, thank God. I was just coming to look for you. We need to leave. Now." I glanced back to see Brody making his way towards us calling my name. I grabbed her arm and pulled her through the drunk people who were now surrounding us.

"Why are you running from your boyfriend? And why is he shirtless? Did ya'll do it?" She asked me as we made our way to my car.

"One of us did." As soon as we got in my car, we were on our way to my house. I was still crying and I think Chels knew why.

"He cheated on me with the captain of the cheerleading team, Chelsea. Two years together, and he cheated on me." I said trying to look at her through my blurred vision.

She reached over across the console and took me in her arms. I sat there just crying. What was so wrong with me? What does she have that I don't have? After all, he was my first boyfriend.

Then I realized after 30 minutes of continuous crying, I sat up straight and wiped the tears off of my face. I looked at my bestfriend and muttered these three words. "I'm getting even." She grinned at me and I knew she was in full force with me.
