Audrey woke up without a hangover, she defiantly didn't drink enough. She had abused her one day a month to have fun on the stupidest and most depressing party she had ever been too. She was almost contemplating pressing ignore on her alarm clock and just not going to school today, she was not in the mood for classes, especially her art class. As she reached for her clock her phone began to vibrate next to her.
She pressed the answer button without even looking at who was calling, the screen was to bright to look at first thing in the morning. "Hello" she moaned a husky greeting.
"Good morning sun shine, now get your ass down stairs." Tara sounded like complete crap, Audrey didn't respond and Tara didn't wait for her too. Audrey didn't want to move, but she did, when Tara was angry it was best to just go along, it was better for you in the long run.
When Audrey finally made it down the stairs she noticed both Lorra and Tara were still in there party clothes and looked like they hadn't slept yet. Lorra looked at her as she walked into the living room "Coffee?" She asked, Audrey nodded slowly and sat on the sofa.
Tara sat on the other end and just stared at her, after Lorra had brought the coffees into the living room Tara finally spoke. "So it was nice of you to tell us you left last night" Audrey could hear the anger in her voice. "We had to hear it from the fucking bar tender."
Audrey didn't really want to explain the whole night so she just thought of the shortest version possible. "You guys know Randall Smithe right?" she looked at one to the other, they looked confused but both nodded. "Well lets just say mister slutty pants was being retarded in the hot tub and got my clothes soaked, and I couldn't find you, I was fucking freezing, Rebecca was beyond drunk and I just wanted to go home." It was not really a lie, just sorta stretching the truth to fit the situation at hand.
"Why did he splash you?" Lorra asked looking a little pissed off.
Audrey raised an eye brow "Why do you think, he wanted me to 'join him' " She said using finger quotations, "And when I denied his plea he called me a bitch and slashed me again." She was stretching it just enough to get her out of explaining why she really went home early, she really didn't want to talk about that, it made her seem pathetic even in her own head.
She picked up her coffee and took a drink hoping that they would stop asking so many questions, Tara was eyeing her like she knew Audrey was lying but she didn't say anything. She grabbed her own cup and sat back in on the sofa. They sat drinking there coffee in silence for a few minutes, Lorra and Tara were staring at Audrey and she was staring down at a spot on the carpet like she had never noticed it and it was now incredibly interesting.
She couldn't hold it in any longer. They were looking at her with that all knowing look and she was sweating like a whore in church. "Okay Fine, that's not why I went home early!" Audrey finally screamed. She looked up at them and they just continued to look at her. "I was having a hard enough time wanting to be there feeling like crap cause of mister to go to talk to me but then the bar tender started flirting with me." she paused to breath and got a strange look from Lorra.
"So he flirted with you and you left, I don't get it. The bar tender was actually pretty hot" Lorra was looking over at Tara to get a nod of agreement about his cuteness, but Tara didn't look away from Audrey. Audrey closed her eyes and lowered her head.
"It wasn't cause he was cute its cause he basically told me I was cute and admitted to flirting with me, but pretty much said I just wasn't dating material for him. Its my second rejection in two day my ego is a little bruised." Audrey knew it sounded pathetic, and she felt stupid because of the way she had acted.
