Heat Waves // Calum Hood 5SOS

Chapter 11

•Dionne POV•

I made my way down the stairs once I'd gotten ready, finally starting to feel excitement about tonight's plan - and excited to join the girls in the kitchen for pre drinks. As soon as I walked into the kitchen, I heard Blaire and Charlie letting out excited squeals - screams, almost - once they saw me. Meanwhile, Sameera was sipping her drink with a grin on her face - she didn't have to be as loud as the others, but I knew when she was sending the same message as them.

"Jesus, Dee, you look fucking hot, girl." Blaire breathed out, and I just smirked and struck a pose; these girls always knew how to hype me up. I have to admit, I did feel good about how I looked. I was wearing high waisted shimmery mesh pants that flared at the bottom, a matching top and strappy heels - yes, it was pretty revealing and what some might call risqué, but isn't that the point of a festival outfit? Combined with two long braids, a smokey eyeshadow look and plenty of glitter on my eyes and cheekbones, I had to agree with Blaire - I looked fucking hot.

"You guys look amazing." I grinned as I looked over the three of them and saw the different interpretations of the theme they'd went with... to be more accurate, I mean the different levels of sluttiness they'd gone for. Blaire probably ranked highest in that regard - she was basically wearing a bikini top and very short shorts. I think I might've came second or third on that list, which was fine with me. Hey, nothing wrong with a bit of sluttiness, am I right?

"You're not wearing enough glitter." Charlie raised an eyebrow at me, and I mirrored her facial expression right back.

"Have you seen my face?" I scoffed.

"See that's your problem. You're not thinking outside the box." She shook her head, picking up the tub of glitter paste and strutting over to me. Before I knew it, she was decorating my chest with glitter and wiping the excess onto my shoulders and arms. "See! Perfect."

"I'm never gonna get this off, am I?" I pursed my lips as I looked down at my freshly glittered boobs, and heard Sameera laugh and blurt out a confident "Nope!"

Then, Blaire made her way over to me with a can of beer she'd gracefully opened for me and smirked, saying, "Good luck with that."

Oh boy.

We decided to have a shorter pre drink session than usual, so we showed up to the student bar only slightly tipsy. It wasn't too busy yet, being that it was still kind of early into the night - and that most people just went to the regular clubs. But I was excited, considering I actually much preferred the atmosphere here than I do at those same old regular clubs. And one of the positives about arriving early, is that we could get a place to sit comfortably, have some drinks and chat. We got our first round of drinks and found a round booth table, and honestly I was just glad we weren't gonna just be standing around or moving all night - I wasn't drunk enough for that. At least, not yet.

The whole place was full of different festival themed decorations, colourful neon bunting hanging across the bar, and a stage laid out across the room for the few live performances that were meant to happen tonight. I realised how cool all the glitter and sparkly outfits were looking under the UV lights, and had a good feeling just based on the atmosphere alone that it was gonna be a good night.

"These are gonna look so sick." Blaire's voice caught my attention, and as I turned I saw her snapping glow sticks and attaching them together to create different accessories. Soon enough we were all decked out in glow in the dark 'jewellery' - so of course we sat at that table snapping pictures, because damn we looked cool. It was hard to get a picture of us all together though - until...

"Hey ladies, want me to take a picture for you?" A voice suddenly asked over the music, and when I looked up I was surprised to see it was Michael.

"Oh my god, hey Michael." I smiled instantly, and it almost faltered when I thought about the fact that I'd last seen him with Ashton - who I'd made things super fucking awkward with. I brushed the thought off and turned to Blaire, who I then realised had all of Michael's attention already.
