Emma: Freshman Year

Chapter 42: Overboard

When Emma got home that night, she immediately sneaked downstairs and took several gulps of whiskey until she was drunk enough to forget about everything that had gone wrong that day. In fact, she continued to consume alcohol from the time she woke up in the morning until the time she went to sleep at night. However, she was careful not to drink to the point of blacking out, for the last thing Emma wanted was to wake up on the school bathroom floor again.

Fortunately, Emma was able to maintain the fine line of being tipsy enough to enjoy her life, but sober enough to hide it from her mom, Craig, Lizzie, her coworkers, and her teachers at school. She brought her water bottle filled with liquor everywhere she went, and for a couple of weeks, nobody seemed to notice.

Besides making feel good, Emma noticed another positive change as a result of her drinking. Usually, Emma was always cold because she was so thin, but for some reason, it didn't seem to bother her while she was drunk. Emma didn't hesitate to take full advantage of this change; every day she wore a different outfit from her SheIn shopping spree, all of which were very seductive and showy. Since then, there have been several times when Emma accidentally showed more than she intended, but with the alcohol in her system, she was able to laugh off the embarrassment.

Today, Emma had chosen to wear a black, long sleeved mini dress which barely covered her butt. Not only did the dress have slits down the front, revealing the area between Emma's breasts, but it also had slits up each side, starting at the bottom hems and ending at the top of her prominent hip bones. Because of the slits on the side of the dress, Emma chose not to wear any underwear, for even a skimpy thong would have been visible. As a finishing touch to her outfit, she wore her blonde hair in a sidebraid which was resting in front of her left shoulder.

Maybe it was because she used a stronger brand of vodka this morning. Maybe it was because Lizzie was recently dumped by her boyfriend Cody and was more clingy than ever. Whatever the reason, Emma decided to drink a little more than usual that day. That little bit quickly turned into a lot, and by the time fourth period rolled around, Emma was extremely intoxicated.

"Are you okay?" Heidi asked as she watched Emma stagger towards her usual spot while using other students' desks to balance herself while clutching her water bottle tightly with her free hand.

"Never been better!" Emma exclaimed as she threw her backpack on the floor and slammed her water bottle down on the desk directly in front of Heidi. Paying no attention to the fact that her already-revealing dress was creeping up in the back, exposing the bottom of her butt, Emma proceeded to sit down in her desk chair, landing with a loud thud.

"I'm just worried about you," Heidi stated. "Ever since the house fire, you've been drinking constantly."

"Well don't worry about me," Emma replied nonchalantly, opening her water bottle and taking a few large gulps of the liquor inside. "I'm fine, trust me."

Before Heidi could say anything else, Mrs. Grumann entered the room and called for the class's attention. "Today, we're going to continue working on diagramming sentences." Turning around, she proceeded to write on the whiteboard.

"Did...did you ever notice...Mrs. Grumann has a huge ass?" Emma whispered to a brown-haired boy named Zach sitting beside her.

"Emma! Shush!" Heidi whispered fiercely as Zach gave Emma a weird look.

"It's not my fault she has a big ass!" Emma retorted, raising her voice enough so that the entire class could hear her.

"Emma, why don't you come up and show the class how this sentence is diagrammed," Mrs. Grumann commanded sternly, putting her hands on her hips.
