Broken Dreams Club - Elite

IX

Rebecca's house was familiar to everyone who was attending the party.

As the sun set into a blissful twilight, it not only was the night of the Halloween party, it also felt kind of eery, strange, and just like what one would expect Halloween to feel like. There was something in the air looming and Alaska couldn't recognise what it was, she just knew it was there and it made her skeptical to sit in the passenger seat of her brother's silver Beamer snd drive to the Halloween party.

As they drove up the small cliff to get to Marina's old house, Alejandro looked to his right again for what felt like the hundredth time at Alaska to see she still had the same dazed expression on her face. He steadily looked back at the road, slightly concerned.

His twin sister had been in the strangest mood for the past two days. At first, his thought process was that she really was feeling forced to go to the party, but then when it came to conversation about the party she didn't seem nearly as miserable which confused him.

It was just about nine in the evening when practically almost all of Las Encinas was either already at the party or pulling up to the modern mansion. 

Alejandro put the car in park and looked right at her, to see if she was alright or needed anything.

"'Tás bien?"

"Yeah, why?" she looked at him confused.

"Just making sure. Are you drinking tonight?"

"I don't know, I'll see how I feel when I go inside. If we're drinking tomorrow, I might not drink heavy or at all today." She replied.

Alejandro simply nodded his head and looked back at the side of the road where the house was.

"Find me if you need anything, okay?"

"Claro que, si."

With that, she opened her door which made Ale follow suit as they began the walk into Rebeka's house.

Putting her shitty mood aside, Alaska thought of the several ways as well as excuses she could use to leave the house in the upcoming thirty minutes to make her way home.

The noise and music was almost deafening as she pushed her sunglasses further up the bridge of her nose. She loved her costume so much because it was almost like a disguise. When she looked slightly to the left and she could see that like flies, other people (mostly girls) were crowding Alejandro, and from what it looked like, they were fawning; but when she minded her own business and looked around everyone was just walking by her and it felt as though she was invisible.

The song playing felt too loud and the amount of teenagers getting more drunk by the minute was proving more annoying than she initially thought. As most of the theme involved glowing in the dark, Alaska felt smart that she had thought of the glasses, because the strobes were blinding as she walked to the designated drinks table. The brunette was only halfway through filling the cup when she felt arms enclose around her. Reflexes made her spin immediately and almost elbow the perp in the stomach, but she let out a sigh of relief upon realising who it was.

"Don't do that again unless you want get knocked out, Ander."

"Lo siento," he laughed, taking a step back.

Alaska took that chance to analyse his outfit, but was slightly disappointed that all he had on was a really large coat and his silver earring shining in the neon light.

"Was the guy you were supposed to be a pimp or what?"

Ander rolled his eyes and shook his head. He felt himself cringing at the thought of having to explain who he was supposed to be, and just didn't feel like doing it. Unfastening the coat belt, he looked around to check his surroundings before discreetly flashing Alaska a glimpse of what was inside.
