Buckingham - Being Rewritten

Chapter 3

Here I am about to enter the 4th floor of the boys hall, wearing a cream silk slip dress. About to see Taylor, and the entire student body. Well here goes nothing.

When I enter I notice that the lights are dimmed and the music is a slower song, not a slow song but a slower song. People are dancing, drinking, and of course making out as most high school parties go. Everything seems generally well normal. Thinking about how everyone here either has money or is on a scholarship it really shouldn't feel so normal.

And then he approaches "Hey St. Clair." Not meaning to, I blurt out "Hello Sebastian." oh god I called Sebastian by his first name. This can't be happening. I didn't just do that. I know it might not seem like a big deal, but to me it is because this might be the first time I've called him by his first name ever.

"Sebastian? Never heard that before. Hope I hear it again " Oh god he noticed. This isn't gonna go well is it. "Well, I mean what's the point of calling each other by last names when first names are much easier." That sounds like the worst excuse in the world. What am I gonna do? "I'm gonna go get a drink.' Okay game plan, get a drink and get out.

The music changes, I know this song it's sex money feelings die. I love this song, this song playing, let alone is enough to stay. Remember the game plan. I finally arrive at the kitchen and pick out water. Someone tries to give me soda but I turn them down as 1 could be drugged 2 I don't even like soda.

I really wanna dance. I never dance at parties but I really want to right now. So being the impulsive person I am, I head to the dance floor. Take a sip of water and dance. Dancing is just something you can do so freely while also being able to do it in public.

Baby don't you cry, sex, money, feelings, die.

~~~~~~~~~~~

It's getting late. It's already 12. I need to go home. Luckily it's the same building so it's not far and I haven't been drinking but I'm still worried about not getting out of here. There's so many people. So many bodies moving, colliding, and blocking places.

The best route would be through the back hall with rooms 4A-4G. It's most likely they're won't be as many people there. Moving slowly so nobody realizes I'm leaving. If people realized I was leaving they would think something is up and I would need help.

Back hall. Rooms 4A through 4G. Me and then there's Sebastian near room 4C. Of course he's here. He's quite literally everywhere. "Hiya Elle." My first name. He said my first name. I guess this means we're on a first name basis now?

"Oh hey. What are you doing back here the parties over there?" I utter in a tone that seems a bit too friendly for my liking. "Oh this is my room I was just about to head inside. Parties aren't really my thing. I'm more of a banquet guy myself." He says in a tone more relaxed than his normal cocky tone for mocking purposes.

"Oh yeah you probably would have a door around here with the last name Taylor and all with the 4th floor being T-Z '' God I sound like an idiot. He must think I'm stupid. But he knows I'm not. We've been competing for top of our class for so long, god this is so weird.

"Yup T last name." he comments. I need to get out of here. This is so embarrassing. "I'm gonna get going, see you in class on Monday." I utter out so fast it sounds like I'm panicking. Which I am. "You too". And with that I am out the door running to the girls hall straight for room 3S.

Once I finally arrive at my dorm. I realize how calm I feel now. Calm, okay pajamas, hair brushed, teeth brushed. Basic things to get done. I wear my matching rose set. I brush my hair in a slow manner so I can calm down a bit more. Brushing my teeth is the easiest of them all. Tying my hair up into a ponytail, brushing my teeth, and then washing my face.

I can Finally sleep. Diana's already out cold in her bed. Once out of the communal bathroom I pretty much jog to my room. Unlock the door, go inside and pour myself onto my bed. Snuggling under my duvet and sheets, I finally fall asleep, Into the land of the wild.
