The Party

So, as you can tell from the last chapter, Darius and I went on a date, and it went well. Better than expected anyway. I thought I was going to humiliate myself. I'm so happy I didn't but a week had gone by since I had heard from him and there was a party coming up that my friends and I were going to. All the girls met up while Adrian went to hang out with some friends he plays basketball with. It is 8:30 pm on a Saturday. We are in my dorm getting ready for the party. Layla was playing 2 On by Tinashe and Schoolboy Q on the Beats pill speaker. 

Maria asked Layla to turn the music down, so Layla did. Maria then proceeded to say, "Mel, what happened on the date you never texted in the group chat to tell us what happened." 

As I was putting the finishing touches on my makeup, I turned to face them, and I told them how the entire date played out, and I even told them about the kiss and showed them the bear he won for me. 

They were all smiling Ming then said, "Wow, he made an excellent impression on you. Do you think there will be a second date anytime soon?"

I told them I would be open to it but, I'm not sure. After that, we all finished getting ready for the party. We all matched with each other. We wore black Tupac shirts, ripped jeans, blue jean jackets, with black and white Retro 1 Jordans. We met Adrian outside in front of my dorm; he had gotten the message about us matching, and he was also matching us. We walked over to the boys' dorm and went to the rooftop of the building. When we got there, we went to the bar. Everyone else got drinks except me because I'm not really a drinker, so I took the weed and the rolling papers out of my pocket, rolled a blunt, and then used Mings lighter to light it. We all moved to the dance floor and started dancing with each other. We all got pretty tired of dancing real quick, but as we turned around to get back to the bar, I bumped into someone a little too hard, and I fell on top of them. Of course, that person was Darius. 

He looked me in my eyes and said, "Hey cutie, I was just looking for you."

I smiled then he smiled back at me. I rolled off of him, then got up off the ground. He then got off the ground. After he got up, he hugged me tightly, kissed me on the cheek, and then stared into my eyes; he noticed how red they were. His face switched from calm to concerned.

 He asked, "Are you ok? Your eyes are very red?" 

I looked confused at first, and then I remembered I had smoked before he came. I told him I was fine, just a little high, that's all. His facial expression went back to calm then he joined us while heading back to the bar.
