Illicit Love

Fire in the Club

"Who wants more shots?" I ask my friends. We're all at a club, since yesterday actually, as it's way past midnight. We're all drunk. And very exhausted from all the dancing and "having fun". We're sooo wasted and we're in sooooo much trouble. My mom is already sick of my behaviour recently. I've been giving her "attitude", being a spoiled brat, drinking, smoking, failing, blah blah blah. But there's a reason......

I lost my dad just a month ago and I've been so depressed and devastated since then that being wasted is the only way out of it. Or at least it felt like. And my boyfriend broke up with me, like, a week ago cause he can't deal with my shit right now. I'd say my actions are reasonable!

"Chug chug chug! Go gurrrlll!" My friends cheered and hollered. "Umm... where's the washroom in this place?" I ask my friend who suggested this club. She mindlessly points at a direction. I go off searching and finally find it. As I finish my business and open the door of my toilet compartment, I see a man walk into the washroom. "Wtf are you doing in a girl's washroom?! Get out!" I scream at him and he looks at me amused and annoyed at the same time. "Mam, this is the men's washroom.."

I immediately look up at the sign and shut my eyes tight in embarrassment. "Sorry... I'm just drunk.." I say with a sheepish smile. "It's alright, trust me, that happens way too often than you would think. I was in the same situation once and I wasn't even drunk then." He said reassuringly and I giggled uncontrollably. "I even lost my job cause of that." My giggles immediately stopped. "Ooohh, that sucks."

"But don't worry, I do have a job now. Which sucks actually but-"

"I can make it un-suck though, just for tonight..." I say coyly, just noticing how cute and handsome, like a work of art he looks like. And he simply smirks.

Oh god I'm too drunk.

~~~~~~~~
He was reluctant at first, too gentleman-ly for this but eventually we both ended up tangled around each other somehow. His hands are in my hair and my arms are wrapped around his toned back. My back pressed against the wall and his lips leaving fiery kisses on my neck, my chin, my cheeks, my lips....

Thankfully we didn't have any company, but not too long after we are interrupted by a loud siren noise! It's the fire alarm! We rush out and see that the club caught on fire somehow! I try to go find my friends but that man interrupts. "The exit's that way."

"I need to find my friends first." I say my heart racing at the sight around me. Everything's collapsing and smoke is filling my eyes and nose. "Are you sure they haven't left already? This is dangerous. We should get out as fast as possible."

"They wouldn't leave me alone in such a dangerous situation. I should find them!" I say between coughs due to the smoke. "Ok, let me help you." He offers. "Are you sure? You don't even know me.....though we kinda made out in the washroom......." I say starting to feel guilty for my stupid and reckless actions but not completely regretting it though.

"If we're going to find your friends and get out alive, we better leave introductions for later." He says and goes searching ahead of me and I follow with a smile.

We don't find them.

"Told you they *cough* would've already left." He says mockingly. My eyes are watering and the smoke isn't letting me see anything. And it's hard to breathe. And super hot. I do not need someone to mock me right now. I walk off in anger but he pulls me back just as something falls down in the place I should've been standing in right now. "Oh, my god.....thank you..." I say as my heart races a million times per minute. He guides and helps me out of there and I honestly wouldn't have made it out alive without him.

As soon as I get out I see my friends waiting for me with worried faces and teary eyes. They might've got out to save themselves but that doesn't mean they don't care about me. I run to them and hug them tight. "We were sooo worried about you!" One of them says. "We thought we would never see you again!!" Another adds sniffling. "I was looking for you guys! I'm just glad that we're all safe." I say and wipe off my tears.

Then I look around to thank my knight in shining armour but he isn't there anymore! I didn't even catch his name....

"You almost fucking killed yourself today!!" My mom screams in my ears. "I didn't set fire to that club!" I yell back, so annoyed at her screams by this point. "You, are grounded for the rest of your life young lady! And I'm going to have a very serious conversation with you after I calm down and let the shock and fear fade!" She slams the door and leaves. I put some music on and cry myself to sleep that night...

"I can not believe that our parents would do this to us!" My friend complains as we are walking into our new campus. Sooo.......my mom had a talk with Cori's (my best friend who was with me during that incident) mom, and they agreed that we both are out of control and need to be disciplined somehow. "Since her father passed away, she's been behaving like this. And there was no one to discipline her. I couldn't be hard on her as she's already going through so much but if i just let her do whatever she wants, she'll be out of reach. I can't handle her on my own.." my mom said sadly. And oh wow, what a coincidence that the year is about to end in a week. Mrs.Hutson told about this school she wanted to send Cori to for next year. Apparently it's a school for bratty teens like us. And everyone who have been there came out disciplined. It's not that scary, haunted looking school from those movies, just a normal one like any other schools, but.... corporal punishment is allowed and even a necessity there...

"What are they gonna do? Spank us till we just start being "disciplined"?" We scoff and enter the building together, glad that at least we're not alone in this."

We're going to live in the same dorm too! Maybe this won't be that bad. We get our dorm key and go to our dorm excitedly. We look around a bit, it's a pretty decent dorm. Then we just throw our stuff in there, and go to the main building again as classes start from today itself. It was kind of a sudden decision and she had to force me to agree to come here so we were not able to come a day or two early to campus like other newcomers. We quickly check our time-table. "We have the same first period!" We ran to our first class with a smile. I don't wanna be late on my first day!

"We're supposed to have two newcomers this year. Where-"
"Here!" We interrupt the teacher and he looks at us. He makes eye contact with me and both of our eyes go wide....
