Angelica's pov

I had just finished praying when Marie sent me a message.

"heeey, i'm kind of bored and it's like 9pm which means clubs are open ;)) you in?"

I hate going to clubs since I don't drink but I only go since Marie likes them. I honestly don't understand the whole hype about clubs. Like, you go there, get drunk and end up having sex with someone and the next day you don't even remember anything. Stupid if you ask me but ok.

I text back.

"ugghhh, i'm kind of not in the mood. do i really have to?"

DING!

"i have a few new friends so maybe you should meet them. i meaaan...there is a cute boyy and a very hott girl here"

When Marie has new friends that means that they are either psychopaths or hobos. Kind of boring honestly, but who knows. Maybe this time it will be someone more interesting.

"okk, i'm in. i hope your new friends aren't some devil worshippers or something. ill be there in 10 mins."

"okayy :))"

I threw my phone on the bed and went to see what I can wear to this dumb club. A dress is a bit too much. I'll just wear some basic jeans and a pink turtleneck. I literally own no "club clothes". Nothing exposing. I think that's a bit too much and a bit slutty. Plus, only God and my man after a find and marry one can see me naked. I'll probably never find one. No one wants to date a girl who prays these days.

I grab a purse and shove my phone, keys and some painkillers in there since Marie will probably need them. I lock my house door and start heading towards the club. After a good 10 minutes of walking I'm here. Jesus, help me. I walk in and spot Marie sitting at a table with what seems to be four people. 

"Angelica!" Marie jumps up from the couch to hug me.

"Hi Marie. Can you let go, you're kinda squeezing the organs out of me." I say quietly as she hugs me in the most tight hug that I've ever had!

"Oops, sorry!" Marie let's go and sits back down. She motions me to sit down next to her and so I do.

"So everyone, this is the girl I was telling you about. Everyone introduce yourselves!"

After that I took a good look at everyone. There was a blonde girl, she was a bit too naked and had dark makeup around her eyes. What the... There was also a guy who has way too much tattoos. He is kinda scary looking with his clothes and that eyeliner...Jesus Christ. They were probably a devil worshippers or something.

The blonde girl spoke up, "Hi Angelica, I'm Victoria! Nice to meet you." The dark makeup around her eyes made them stand out. They were blue and they were staring at me. Then the guy  introduced himself, "I'm Damiano, nice to meet you," he smiled and put out his hand. I shook his hand and sat down. 

"Nice to meet you all." I smiled kind of feeling out of place. There it was. The awkward silence.

"Anyways..." Marie broke the awkward silence, "We should get some drinks, what do you think guys?"
