"I thought you swore off parties?"

I got home from my evening class to find Sophia and Lia running around the apartment, frantically getting ready while Kate eats popcorn and enjoys the show from afar. 

"I swore of parties thrown by the Hockey Team" Soph corrects.

"Ah, I see" I say, grabbing a handful of popcorn from the bowl Kate has extended to me.

She rests her elbows back on the kitchen counter and enjoys watching the chaos, "Lia invited by a girl in her English Lit to a party being thrown by her sorority tonight. Since the Hockey team got banned from throwing parties until after their first game everyone on campus is desperate for night of intoxication and bad decisions." She throws some popcorn up in the air and catches it in her mouth.

"Smooth moves." I praise with a wink and she does a theatrical bow that makes us both laugh.

"I will buy you both what I weigh in popcorn if you get ready this very second. The party started an hour ago and we're verging on asshole late instead of fashionably late!"

I never realised just how easily college students can become addicted to partying... until I met Lia. We haven't been to one since the first day and she going through withdrawals. She dances around the apartment, has at least 5 different 'party' playlists that I know of and a few days ago I caught her getting fully dressed up, to which she said she just wanted to know if the dress would go with the shoes. Explain to me the fresh manicure and smokey eye then Lia, hm?

"You can go Lia. No one's stopping you" Kate says, taking more popcorn from the bowl.

"But I want us to all go together! Drunk stories are the best part of college!"

"Interesting priorities Lia" Sophia chides as she walks out of the room they share, dressed in tight black leather pants and a tan halter crop top. She really is effortlessly stunning.

"I see you caved" I joke and Sophia jerks her thumb back at our flatmate.

"You think I had a choice? If I don't go she threatened to bring a guy back while I was asleep."

I scrunch my face up at the implication, "That's gross Lia. Have some boundaries jesus."

"Don't knock it till you've tried it" Sophia replies with a wink and I quite literally become a goldfish. 

"On second thought, do it Lia. Clearly Soph's into it." I mock.

"Ew no! It wasn't in the same room!" she defends, "Hugo was giving Seb shit for being "unsatisfactory" during a past hook up, so I made my feelings very clear when I screamed Seb's name as he fucked me against the wall between his and Hugo's rooms."
