The sun shining in wakes me up. Checking my phone I see it's 10:30am. I must've fell asleep while watching tv last night. Getting up I check on the kittens and give them food, " You guys are hungry, huh?." Going out of my room I head over to feed Lunis as well. Not sure what I'm gonna do today, It's kinda nice taking a break from working. While making breakfast my phone starts to ring, looking at at the caller ID I see it's my best friend, Harper. "Hey, what's up?" I say as I flip my pancake. " Hey, Ray. What are you doing?". I had already told Harper what had Happened. "Just making pancakes". Sitting down I start eating my pancakes. "Well did you wanna come with my tonight to a party?". I enjoyed drinking, but going to parties wasn't really my thing. " Who is all gonna be there?". " I'm not sure, but you should come either way." I know I needed to get out of the house for a bit. " Okay, fine." I say, even though I know I should spend the night searching up jobs. " Yay, I'll pick you up near 6 o'clock okay?". " yep". After talking for a few more minutes about the party we hang up. Putting my dish in the sink I decide to hop in the shower. After a few hours of mindlessly watching TikTok Videos I realize I have 30 minutes to finish getting ready. " Ughhh" Getting up I apply light makeup and find a cute outfit to wear. Staring at myself in the mirror I wanna change my outfit. I'm wearing a tight white crop top with high waisted jeans with my combat boots." I don't know" I mumble under my breath. Hearing a knock on my door I know I probably wont have time to change. Opening the front door I see Harper with a few of her girl friends. "Aw you look so cute Ray". I don't feel cute. I don't know what I was thinking with wearing such a tight shirt. I prefer baggy clothes. " Ehh, I don't feel cute. Does my outfit look alright?". I needed some reassurance. " Yes, don't be silly." Grabbing a jacket, just in case it gets cold I head to Harpers car. Music is blasting as she drives down the back roads to where ever this party is at. Harper and I have been friends since high school. I always felt she was just effortlessly good at everything. Looking over at her, her blonde hair is blowing in wind from the windows being open. I noticed that she started vaping as well. Her two friends in the back must be smoking weed because I started to smell it. "Pass me some!" Harper yells over the music. I wonder when she started smoking. She was also the one to follow everyone else. " You want some?" She asks, looking at me before putting her eyes back on the road. Should I? Maybe I should let lose a little."Uh, okay". I take the smallest inhale and pass it back to her friends in the back. I believe their names are Riley and Nicole..I could be wrong though. I haven't really hung out with them before. Finally we pull up to somebody's house. I'm pretty sure they have already started drinking since getting out the car was a mission. Thankfully I don't think Harper has started yet. I really hope I don't have to be the mother of this group tonight. " Welcome, Harper. I wasn't sure you were gonna make it tonight". Some random guy that was on the front porch says "Wouldn't miss it". Going through the front door I take in a bunch of people dancing and playing a game of beer pong. "Who's throwing this party?" I asked Harper. " I think It's Jason" " Ah, okay" I think I knew who Jason was. I believe we had math together in high school. Riley and Nika or was her name Nicole ? They bring over cups filled with some type of alcohol for our group. " Thanks." I say as Riley gives me my cup. Taking a sip I realize it's mostly vodka with a splash of sprite. Great, I'm getting drunk right away.
I see Harper talking to some random guy next to me and her friends disappeared a few minutes ago. I've just been following Harper around like a lost puppy. "Did you wanna go some place quite?". The random guy she's been talking to asks her. " Yeah I wouldn't mind" Harper gives me a look I know all too well. " Ill be back, okay?" I watch as she goes upstairs to go get some. I'm not gonna stop her from having a good night. I go to take a sip of my drink and realize I had finished it. "I guess I'll get more" I say out loud. No one could hear me anyways since the music was blasting. Pouring myself some vodka mixed with sprite, I notice a guy I've never seen before. He was very attractive. I couldn't help but stare a little. " You mind?". Realizing I've just been standing here staring at this handsome man, blocking other people from the vodka " Oh, I'm so sorry!". Going back to the couch I sit down next to some random couple making out, well maybe not an actually couple. This is why I hated going to parties, I'd always be the loser sitting by herself while her friends were off doing god knows what. "Do you mind if I sit with you". Started, I break out of my trace and look up. Oh god, It's the guy I was staring at in the kitchen. "No, that's fine". Moving over to give him room to sit. I stare at his tattoos on his arms " I like your tattoos". Why on earth did I just say that out loud to him. " Uh, thanks" He glances at me. Making eye contact I realize he has beautiful green eyes. God I need to get a hold of myself. Chugging my drink until it's half way I sit it down on the coffee table in front of me. I begin to feel the alcohol flow through me. " What's your name?" I decide to try and make small talk with the beautiful stranger. "Damon, Yours? " He turns to face me. I've made a mistake in talking to this mystery man " Uh, Rayna, but my friends call me Ray." I really didn't need to add all of that. He just nods his head and goes back to watching the people playing beer pong. I don't know why I thought someone as good looking as him would be interested in an average looking girl like myself. Signing, I decide to people watch. The couple that was next to me has left and has been replaced by some girl with short black hair smoking a blunt. Well that explains why I was smelling weed again.
Looking down at my phone to check the time I see it's going on 10:30pm. Taking one more glance at the green eyed boy, I wonder off upstairs to find Harper. After opening countless doors I finally find her in a bedroom with Riley, Nicole and a few random people I didn't know. "Rayna! We were looking for you". I can tell she's gone just like everyone else in this house. " I stayed in the same spot". I don't believe they actually looked for me. I can't blame her, she looks like she's having a good time. " What time did you wanna leave?" I ask her. I'm hoping she wants to leave soon. " I don't know" She goes back to talking to the same guy she left me for earlier.
Alright looks like we're not leaving anytime soon. I decide to sit next to Harper on the floor. It looks like they are about to play spin the bottle. Wow I thought we grew out of that shit. Watching some random guy finish his beer bottle he lays it in the middle of everyone. Debating on leaving I notice green eyed boy and a random girl walk in. "Damon, about time you showed up." Looking at the guy Harper has been clinging off of all night I realize he knows him. " Well I was waiting for Becca to finally show" Damon say while pointing at the chick next to him. Well he has girl friend, that explains why he was giving me the cold shoulder. He takes a sit right across from me. "Alright lets start". They start spinning the bottle and people kiss. Of course a guy wanted to play this in hopes he'll get laid. " Ray it's your turn" zoning back in I reach for the bottle and spin it. I guess I play for a little then I'm going back downstairs. Maybe I'll play some beer pong. Watching the bottle spin it finally lands on some random girl. " Oh yeah" I hear one of the guys say. Mentally rolling my eyes I lean in to give the stranger a peck on the lips. The game continues until It lands on me and realize it was Damon turn. He goes to lean in and Becky to Becca grabs his arm " You're not gonna kiss her are you?!" Just staring at them and feeling awkward "Yeah, it's just a game Becca." Oh god, this girl is gonna fight me because her boyfriend is an idiot. "Oh, if it's a problem it's fine". He wave his hand and leans closer to me. Well I guess we're gonna kiss. Leaning in I give him a quick peck on the lips. "See, just getting mad about nothing" He says to Becca. She just gives him the side eye. Great, he just had to land on me. " I'm going to the bathroom" I say. I wasn't actually going to the bathroom. I needed to get out of here as soon as possible. Hurrying up and out the door I head back downstairs. I'm just gonna call an Uber to pick me up. Sitting on the couch I start putting in my information until I realize I don't know where I am. " Great" I huff. Leaning back I decide to just relax and wait for Harper to hopefully come find me.
After 30 minutes I see Harper walking down the stairs. I get up to walk towards her. "Hey, what happened?" She mumbles to me. " Let's get going. Give me your keys." At this point I'm starting to sober up. Reaching into her purse she heads me her keys. " Are your friends coming with us?" Looking around I don't see them. " Nah, they wanna stay." Walking Harper out to her car I get in the driver sit and head to my place. " You okay with sleeping over?" I glance over and realize she is passed out. After about 30 minutes we arrive at my apartment. "Hey, wake up" Shaking her arm. "Ughh, Okay". After getting her settled on my couch I head to get ready for sleep. Well tonight was interesting to say the least. Closing my eyes I can't help but let my mind wonder off to the green eyed boy.
