Mia Rain: Bayside High

New Year Beer Pong

In my room, Nina twirled happily around while wearing New Years sunglasses. Me? I'm dancing happily because of my new Christmas video. It's gotten 8million views. It'll only be me, the gang and Harry celebrating New Years together. Lexi's holding another get-together for this holiday but this time...no formal wear. Yes! I fiddled with my present Zack got me for Christmas. A very beautiful blue pendant necklace. So pretty!! He literally spoils me too much. Nina sighed happily, flunking herself on her bed. "New Years. Can't believe it's here." She said. I nodded in agreement. "A lot has happened since then. Especially meeting ghosts." I said. She huffed. "Don't remind me sis." She muttered. I giggled. "Anyways, Lexi bought non-alcoholic Sangria bottles?" I asked. She quickly nodded and smiled. "We love those!" She squealed. I laughed. My phone buzzed. There was notifications about my new song and video. I read them all before clearing my notifications. Our door knocked. "Come in." We said. It opened, revealing Harry. He smiled cheerily. "Happy New Year guys!" He said. Nina chuckled. "You seem pretty chipper today." She said. He shrugged. "Why not? It'll be a whole new year by midnight. I've never celebrated the holiday at the Dursley's." He said. I smiled sadly. "Well, you'll get to celebrate with us now. Don't drink too much fire whiskeys." I said, winking at the last part. Nina looked at me confusedly. "Fire whiskey? Lexi got alcohol?" She asked. I nodded my head no. "Nope. Rafe snuck to Hogsmeade with Fred and George- she cut me off. "I don't wanna know." She said annoyedly. Harry chuckled. "Only if you don't." He said. I nodded. Nina was busy texting on her phone and smiled. Wow. Does she go one day without texting Kyle? Harry playfully rolled his eyes. "Hello? Earth to Nina?" He said sarcastically. She looked up and fake laughed. "Hm, I wonder if Ginny called." She teased. His eyes widened. "Shit!" He whispered, running out of the room. We bursted into laughter and high five. I nudged her shoulder. "Let's not waste time. We do got a big day." I told her. She nodded in agreement.

Later, Harry went to go see Ginny and Nina's visiting Kourtney. I ruffled my hair while applying lipgloss in the mirror. My phone buzzed. Zack.

I grabbed my keys off my bathroom counter and left the room. Morgan is at Ms. Danvers's house so I'm all by myself. I came downstairs and walked out of the house. I honked my car, getting inside. My eyes diverted to Troy sitting in his room beside his window. He smiled, waving. I returned the gesture. My cheeks burned red as I pulled from the driveway to the road. The radio played Antisocial by Ed Sheeran and Travis Scott. I danced while using the wheel carefully.

It was 8pm in the evening. We regrouped at Lexi and Deana's house in Seattle. The living room TV played New Year's Rockin Eve Celebration. Everyone wore New Year sunglasses and had gold or silver confetti poppers. We'll blow them once the countdown's to 1. Music was playing in the background. The kitchen had two bowls of chips and candy while the dinner table was filled of ten solo cups of whiskey. Fred and George planned with Rafe to have a beer pong challenge. He smiled widely. "Step right up! Step right up to play beer pong!" He announced. Ashlynn looked at him in shock. "Are you out of your mind?" She asked. Grant chuckled. "Are you deaf, stupid or both?" He joked. Rafe smiled innocently. "No more than you." He sassed. He growled. Ginny crossed her arms. "Wouldn't we get arrested for drinking?" She asked. Fred patted her head. "Correction little sis. We can't get in trouble for drinking something that's not known in America. Fire whiskeys are from Wizarding world." He said, smirking. George nodded in agreement. "True Freddie! This is wizard beer!" He said. I laughed and shrugged. "Anyone wanna try?" I asked. "Me!" Harry shouted. Everyone nearly stopped dancing or eating and stared at him in complete shock. I almost choked on my snack. Nina gulped. "Aren't you forgetting our parents will kill us if you're drunk?!" She complained. "Yeah, Harry. You could be grounded till you're twenty-one." Screech added. Zack rolled his eyes annoyingly. "Will you guys quit complaining? We'll be here all night till morning so your parents would never find out. Easy." He said. George smiled. "And we'll need two opponents. Harry and..." He trailed off. Nobody raised their hand until someone ringed the doorbell. Who is here? I thought we had everybody? We shared confusion as Randi turned off the music. "I'll get it!" He said, walking to the door. Jessie shrugged. "Wonder who it is." She said. It soon revealed a girl who looked sixteen, dark-Raven hair and tall. Our jaws dropped including some who were confused. I recognized her from Blair's coronation ball. Maddie Crawley. Lady Mary and Matthew's daughter. Randi suddenly coughed. "Maya? Maya Crawley?" He asked shockingly. She smiled kindly. "Hello. Happy New Years everyone. Someone invited me to join the party." She said. I almost spoke until Nina walked out from the kitchen. She saw Maya and smiled widely. "Maddie! You finally came!" She beamed. They hugged and parted. Kelly raised an eyebrow. "You invited her?" She asked. She quickly nodded. Jessie huffed, face-palming her forehead. Fred smirked. "Hm, Maddie! I'm Fred and this is George. Would you like to compete against Harry for beer pong?" He asked. Maddie returned the gesture and crossed her arms. "Ok. Sounds fun. All in for a challenge." She said. Slater ruffled his hair while winking. "Nice." He muttered. Ginny and Jessie rolled their eyes. Harry smiled nervously. I hid a chuckle.

Three hours became insanely wild. The boys were cheering for either Harry or Maddie to win the challenge. Anytime him or her score, they drink another cup = getting more drunk. There was one last hour until the countdown starts but honestly, I'm entertained by their drunk selves. Ginny laughed when Harry danced rhythmically. Maddie was busy dancing on the couch, talking sweetly to everyone and twerking to the music. Everyone couldn't help their laughter. Kelly sighed happily. "This year has been crazy but best. Can't wait for more fun with you guys." She said. Randi smiled, kissing her cheek. "Same here. A lot has happened. God knows I'd never go to a mansion." He joked. We laughed more except the wizards who are confused. Harry smiled widely, wrapping his arm around my shoulder. "The best is seeing my sister again!" He slurred. I laughed and ruffled his hair. We parted. Zack almost spoke until Lexi's voice was heard. "THE COUNTDOWN!" She shouted. We hurried to grab confetti poppers and poured cups of Sangria or Fanta. We crowded together as the Celebration begin the countdown. Matt cheered. "Everyone, ready?!" He yelled. "Yeah!" We said in unison. Maddie and Harry managed to pay attention while slightly swaying. We cheered excitingly. "10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2...1! Happy New Year!" We shouted, clinking our cups and blowing confetti off the poppers. Everyone cheered as repeating confetti blew off everywhere. I smiled happily. Zack hugged me. I hugged back. "The reason I've had a great year is you." He whispered in my ear. We parted, wrapping our arms around each other and kissed passionately. "Same here." I whispered. It has been an unforgettable year. Now, a whole New year of adventures are coming.
