A/N: this takes place in an AU where you and Anakin are students at the same college. this is also basically just me writing a story from my life (with a little more drama of course) Enjoy!

Warning: Alcohol Consumption (please drink responsibly and don't drink and drive!!), Slight mention of relationship abuse

You dried the last few tears that were running down your face and pulled out your phone. All week, you had been crying over your stupid ex-boyfriend Jared, who you had caught cheating on you with one of your sorority sisters... again. You couldn't take any more of it, he treated you horribly, and you made the brave decision to let him go and not look back. Tonight, you decided you were done with the tears. You were going to go out and have the time of your life, dancing and drinking the night away. You opened your phone to the sad playlist that you had been listening to all week, and finally stopped it, changing to the song you always made a point to listen to whenever you went out. 

SONG ALERT: UCLA by RL Grime and 24hrs (also quick shoutout to UCLA basketball for beating UMich in the NCAA tournament it makes up for them beating my school in the first round lol)

With your music blaring through the walls of your apartment, you focused on doing your hair and makeup to perfection, making yourself feel as confident as ever. You barged into your roommate's bedroom where she was getting ready, singing along to her music as you rummaged through her closet for the dress she had borrowed from you the previous weekend. You went back into your bedroom, slipping the dress on along with some jewelry and your favorite shoes. (This is what I'm picturing, but obviously picture whatever outfit makes you feel the most confident!)

As soon as all your roommates were finally finished getting ready, you grabbed your keys and headed out of your apartment to meet your Uber that would be taking you to your favorite bar on campus (don't drink and drive!). While in the car, you made the bad decision of checking Snapchat, where you saw that Jared had posted a selfie on his story... with the girl you caught him cheating on you with... at the same bar you were on your way to. You began to internally panic, you really did not want to have to see him tonight, especially with her. 

"If you don't block his stupid ass right now I swear I will do it for you" your roommate Zoe said jokingly, though you knew she was being dead serious at the same time. 

"Yeah you're right, maybe it's time to block him" you replied with a sigh, a wave of relief washing over you as you hit the block button below his name. 

"That's better, now let's go have some fun!" Zoe exclaimed, practically dragging you out of the car as the rest of your roommates followed you into the bar. 

NEW SONG ALERT: Sweet Escape by Gwen Stefani (or whatever song gets you hype)

The music blared loudly through the dimmed bar. A sea of packed bodies waved across the room, the classic Friday night scene playing out before your eyes. You pushed your way through the crowd, you friends trailing behind you as you approached the bartender, ordering you and your friends a round of shots. You pass a small glass to every one of your friends, deciding to give a small toast as you raised your glass.
