One Step Forward

Chapter two ~ party

    I stood looking in the mirror. I was in disbelief how well this dress flattered me. It was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. I paired it with FAKE diamond jewelry because miss girl cannot afford real diamonds, I'm a broke college student what do you want from me. With white heels and a little white clutch purse. Am I actually doing this? I'm so nervous actually. I told Esme and Rory that I would meet them at the cafeteria, and it was time. I peeked out of my door, to see the hallways crowded with people dressed up in fancy clothes and dramatic makeup. Jesus. I shoved past everyone whilst walking to the cafeteria, low and behold, Esme and Rory.
Esme was in a beautiful blue dress with silver wedge heels. Rory was in dress pants with a button up white long sleeved shirt. Wow, they look amazing.
"Y/N!!" Esme said in pure excitement, walking as fast as she could towards me without breaking an ankle.
"You look absolutely gorgeous Esme, holy shit. What CAN'T you do?!" I said.
"Oh stop, tonight is going to be so fun!" She held both my hands out in front of us.
"Rory, lookin good." I said in a sarcastic tone.
"Y/N, lookin like a sl-"
I cocked my eyebrow up, I know he was not about to call me a slut.
"Sl..sl.. a slim icon." He smiled in fear.
"Yeah that's what I thought." I said.
Esme hushed us both and lead us outside, the party was a block or so away in one of the old abandoned buildings next to the college. It used to be a library, but they built a new one and transferred everything, leaving the old library to get graffitied on and parties thrown in it.
"Ho.ly. fuck." I said as we walked up to the building, it was a lot larger than I expected and it looked like we were going to have a fucking blast.
"We are gonna get fucked up." Esme hysterically laughed and grabbed my arm pulling me inside.

The inside smelled of alcohol, as well as various colognes and perfumes. It was so cool on the inside. There were beanbags, strobe lights, places to sit, tables.
"What's going on over there?" I asked.
I saw a bunch of students sitting crisscrossed on the ground like they were in third grade.
"Oh, spin the bottle. Come on let's go play!" Esme said.
"Wait Es, I have a boyfriend. I can't play." I responded.
"Aw Y/N, loosen up a little, it's just a kiss."
"I can't I'm sorry, I will sit with you and watch though!" I compromised.
She gave me a small smile "Ok!! Let's do it!"

The music was so loud I could barley hear her, so many voices plus blasting music, oh boy.
The bottle ended landing on her after 3 tries and a guy with curly short hair walked over to her, she stood up, and they went AT IT.
"Holy fuck." I laughed to myself.
"ALRIGHT ENOUGH."
"GET A ROOM!"
"SIT THE FUCK DOWN!!"
People were not pleased with them anymore. I couldn't stop laughing, I was laughing so hard.
Esme sat down.
"Hey Es I'm gonna go to the bathroom real fast before I piss myself from laughing so hard."
She laughed "Ok!!"
I walked around a bit lost, trying to find the bathroom. When I found it, it was open! Thank, god. I could not have waited any longer.
After I came back out, and decided I'd get Esme and I drinks. Why not. Rory was no where to be found, probably making out with someone.
I walked back to the circle and handed Esme her cup.
"Ooo! Thank you Y/N." She said.
I nodded, sitting.
Fuckin aye this alcohol was STRONG. I have only had alcohol once, and I am a lightweight. I cannot take alcohol for the life of me. I was making sure to be careful about how much I drank tonight though, it could be dangerous being drunk at a college party.
A person sitting next to me tapped my shoulder.
"Hi." They said.
I turned my head and it was a very built guy with very nice black hair.
"Oh, hello." I said. I have no idea who this is.
"How are you liking the party?" He asked.
"It's alright, pretty cool so far!" I tried shouting over the noise surrounding us.
"Oh, flöråt, my name is Finley." (I'm sorry)
He smiled.
"Don't apologize, and it's nice to meet you Finley. I'm Y/N." I gave him a half smile.
Before we could continue the conversation a guy stood in the middle of the circle, and just threw his shirt off.
"Oh my god." I laughed but I was in disbelief, what is this dude doing.
"Are you seeing this too Y/N or am I really drunk?!" Esme linked her arm with mine.
"No no I definitely see it, unfortunately." I shook my head.
After a while I had went to get another refill, and walked around a bit. I am an observer, I observe people, what they are wearing, what they are doing, their facial expressions, their tone of voice, it's fun to assume what someone is saying. There were some people already blackout drunk, that was fast.
I could feel myself getting a little woozy but nothing I was concerned about.
"Yo, slim!"
I looked to the left of me and saw Rory, walking towards me.
"No. That will not become a nickname." I said bluntly.
"Afraid it already is, slim." He was taunting me.
I rolled my eyes at him and lead him to where Esme was, of course she got landed on again so another guy had been approaching her.
"Woahhh what is going on here?" Rory said.
"Spin the bottle."
"The fuck, are we in fifth grade? Spin the bottle seriously?" He scoffed.
"Dude that's what I'm fuckin saying." I laughed.
"Y/N how much did you drink?" He asked.
"None of your business fucknut." I responded.
"No seriously, how much?"
"Not that much, only a cup or two" He looked straight into my damn soul "or three or four."
"You're a fucking idiot, didn't you mention months ago that you were a lightweight and you've only drank alcohol once?!" He seemed concerned.
"Yeah but don't worry about it, I am fine." I smiled at him.
"Right because sober Y/N would smile at me. Dumbass you are already drunk." He took the cup from my hand.
"Give it back Rory." I demanded.
"No I don't want you to get sick."
"What the fuck do you care?" This was pretty straight forward of me. I didn't mean to say this. But at the same time, I was thinking it.
"You're unbelievable." He got up with my cup and walked off.
"Auuughhhh." I sighed.
I leaned my head on Esme's shoulder when she sat back down. She leaned hers on mine.
The bottle was spinning for a hundredth time, glass scraping across the concrete floor, as it started slowing down getting closer and closer to Esme. When it fully stopped, it was on me.
"No, no no no." I slurred lifted my head from her shoulder. "I am not playing the game I am just watching."
"It landed on you sweetheart, no take backs." A guy who looked truly evil, was making his way towards me. He looked like one of the privileged popular kids who think they're the shit.
"Seriously no, I am taken."
"That never stopped anyone, now has it." He shot me a sly smile, kneeling down in front of me.
"Dude she said no and she isn't sober, back up." Esme said.
"You sure like to run your mouth a lot for a 1st year whore. Zip it." He said to her.
"Stop, just back up." I said. I could barley even see my vision was blurry and my head was spinning. I put my hands out in front of me like I was trying to protect myself.
"Fucking stop! You are disgusting just choose another girl!" I heard Esme scream.
I felt two hands wrap around my wrists.
