I couldn't be bothered to put much effort into my outfit. The plan was that Kyla was going to come here and we would Uber to the next town over. Beach Haven  had somewhat of a downtown, unlike Eastsound and their busiest street homed around four or five decent bars and nightclubs.
It was around eight pm and I was still in pajamas when the doorbell downstairs rang. I ran past mom who was in the kitchen hosteling a dozen beers and to the door where Kyla was dressed in the shortest bright pink dress that I had ever seen.

"You're going to freeze," were the first words out of my mouth. She frowned and striked a pose.

"You don't think I look hot?"

"You look amazing," I said, eyes lingering on the bottle of wine that my best friend carried," lets pre-drink."

I grabbed two glasses of wine from the kitchen and we ran upstairs. Mom's drunken voice followed us upstairs " your blond is fading, Kyla. I can do your roots!"

"Thanks, but I'm a natural blond!" Kyla responded and I rolled my eyes at the lie.

In my room, Kyla and I looked for an outfit for me to wear.

"You have like nothing sexy," she mocked, one hand holding the glass of red wine and the other holding up one of my sweaters.

"I haven't gone shopping in forever," I sighed.

"If I knew it would be like this I would have brought something."

I sipped on the bitter liquid, pondering sneaking into mom's closet and stealing one of her dresses. Kyla suddenly screeched and lifted a a sleeveless black lace bralette," you can wear this as a top with that sweater over it and this plaid skirt!"

"Are you insane? That's lingerie."

"It's fine, people wear that now as tops."

"Hell no, I'll freeze!"

"You'll be wearing the jacket on top! Plus, it's not like it's freezing inside the bar."

In the end, Kyla won and I was defeated. There was no alternative anyway, I put on the bralette that hardly covered my breasts and a furry jacket on top. I slipped into some thigh-high boots and we were off.
Kyla and I were already tipsy by the time we were in the Uber. The car ride was just a little under twenty-five minutes and we spent it laughing hysterically.

"Remember when Matt and Holden asked us out for Valentine's Day two years ago?"

I giggled," oh my god, yes. That was such a disaster!"

"These idiots thought it would be a good idea to buy all those flowers!"

"They didn't even notice the bee hive inside!"

We clutched our stomachs as we laughed even harder," and Matt is allergic to bees! He was in the hospital for days!"

Even the Uber driver couldn't help but crack up.
