|CHAPTER 2|

Zoey (Zozo)

I have a very loud best friend, sometimes I even wonder how we became friends because we're two opposite people. But that's how the best friendships are formed.

"You look all shimmery and smiley what's up? Spill the beans." Kelly smiles and glances at me and then back to the road with one hand on the wheel and the other removing a strand of hair from her face.

"Mum and Dad got me a white Hyundai Tucson SUV." I let the words fly out of my mouth as the car comes to an abrupt stop, the force from that pushing me back into my seat with a screeching Kelly.

"Bitch stop the car like that again and your parents will be receiving your corpse." I glare at her.

***

We get to Double T's house. I can hear the loud music from the driveway. A lot of cars are parked outside the house, we even had a problem finding a parking spot because of the number of cars that are present.

"Seems like we're late," Kelly says and  I shake my head agreeing with her while scanning the premises.

Kelly holds my hand in hers and squeezes it in a comforting manner. "His not coming, don't worry." She gives me a reassuring smile. "It's an open party but Tess made sure to get the message clear to him that he isn't invited." I release a long breath of air and then smile at her. Her saying that made me feel a bit at ease.

"Now are you ready to parttteeeee, bittttccchhh!"_.

" I swear if you ever scream in my ear like that I'll cut your hair off and shave your edges in your sleep." I threaten Kelly who seems to have only gotten the part where I said "Shave your hair off" and ignored the "Shave your eyebrows off." I mean how would she look without her eyebrows on? That's sick to think about.

She gasps and holds her hair dramatically. "I won't_, just never threaten me and kiki like that ever again." She gasps once more as if the words have just sunk in. "You're such a vibe killer." I playfully roll my eyes giggling at the new nickname she has given to her hair.

I get off the car and she follows suit after stopping the car engine.

Kelly takes pride in her hair, she has long afro hair with natural curls, she doesn't need any products to make it curly because it is naturally curly but she buys hair curler products anyway.

In short, she's obsessed with her hair.

She parks the car near the crosswalk and we walk over to the house. Some people are already intoxicated making out, while others are spotted chattering. We say our hi's to people we had to and walk in.

Once we walk in, I am hit with the smell of smoke, and alcohol, the loud sound of music, and people grinding on each other, with some yelling.

Not exactly my type of scene.

It is only 6 pm, I wonder how some people will be at the end of the party if they're already buzzed like this.

We walk over to the kitchen and pass the sweaty bodies in search of Tess and Torah.

It is an open space house so, from the living room, you pass through the hallway into the dining area which is now turned into a ping pong place, and then the kitchen.

I spot Torah in the corner of the hallway making out with one of the guys from our intake. She doesn't notice us because they are eating each other.

We walk over to the kitchen and find Tess making mixers of different beverages. She's really good at it. She can make a perfect bartender with her skills. Once she sees us, she runs over to us and shouts over the loud music, " the party just got started, my bitches are hereeeeeeee!!" and everyone starts shouting in excitement.

Kelly and I help out with the mixers while drinking some, laughing, and being playful with each other. I know that I am a lightweight so opt to drink something with a lower percentage.

Some hours had passed by and the house was full of people who were in our intake and some that graduated a year earlier.

We went over to the living room where everyone was dancing and grinding on each other. I had a couple of drinks so I let loose. I was dancing my ass off and having fun. I felt like nothing existed at that moment.

I excused myself and told the girls that I was going to use the bathroom. Tess told me to use the bathroom in her bedroom because it was out of bounds and no one was going to be there. I was glad because the other bathrooms either had people making out or some vomiting their asses off. Plus, I didn't want to get a urinary infection.

I squeezed myself passed the sweaty bodies and headed upstairs.

Torah and Tess were two different individuals despite being twins. Torah was more of a girl's guy, a party pooper, and no offense but a whore.

At age 18, she had a body count of more than her years. She was more into new trends and buying every new line known brands had released while Tess is well, how can I describe her? She's the opposite of Torah she's only been in two relationships which both left her heartbroken, she is curvy and has a darker skin tone compared to Torahs.

I opened her bedroom door using the key she had given to me and walked over to her bathroom. Since I was wearing a dress, it was easy to do everything. I pulled my dress up and pulled my panties down, and sat on the toilet seat of course not before wiping it with a piece of tissue.

I hammed to the song that was playing, (Right back by Khalid feat. A boogie wit da hoodie) even though it wasn't very loud in the room whilst looking at myself in the full-length mirror that was adjacent to me. I looked exhausted. I was a bit tipsy but I could tell wrong from right. My brain was still operating. I pulled my underwear up and my dress down then I rinsed my hands before walking out of the bathroom into her bedroom.

I noticed that the door I had left open ajar was now fully closed. I brushed it off, I thought maybe the wind had pushed it back or it pushed itself back but just for safety purposes, I started to scan the room.

Suddenly, I felt a hand wrap around my waist and heavy breathing close to my ear. "Don't move or scream." The person whispers in my ear and the voice sounded seemingly familiar.
