as we entered in the bar i felt a hot breeze on my face. a room full of teenagers and young adults dancing around, drinking, smoking, making out. i just couldn't stand to be there for more than thirty minutes, i would probably suffocate.
i was already felling suffocated.

— this night is going be so fucking cool! - maria excitedly said.
i bet it will be, but just for her. she spent the whole drive to the club gabbling about this pretty boy that goes to her university, saying how she overheard that he could possibly be in the bar that we're going. she is all over him for sure, i bet that if she makes eye contact with him tonight, she will pass out.
she told me that he usually hangouts with a group of four or five boys, and that they're always together.

Maria has this huge problem where she "falls in love" with all the boys that give her attention, even if it is only for one second. she starts to become delusional about it, and in the end she gets hurt. it's always like this.

when we we're entering the dance floor we bumped into two girls. one of them has straight red hair, a beige dress that reached to her thighs, and she was filled with delicate accessories that matched her aesthetic. the other girl had black skin with an equally black dress that enhance her beautiful body, her hairstyle gave her a chic look and she just looked chic over all.
they're side by side, their hands interlaced, maybe they're dating or something?

— nora, baby! - maria screamed to the red hair while giving her a cute side hug.
— this is rosie, my roommate and best friend! rosie, this is nora my photography classmate and her girlfriend, vanessa.

I greet both girls with a kind smile and they return with a little smile. if i remember correctly, maria had already talked about the red haired girl from her class with her complicated relationship with this girl she was madly in love with. she told me that the girl would spend the whole class mumbling about that, and maria being herself, she loved it. she loves gossips and she loves when people tell her all the details.

— what are you doing here? - nora asks with a childish smile in her face.

— just having some fun! rosie here is turning 23 today. - maria announces to the girls.

they smile at me and scream happy birthday, soon after saying goodbye and walking away with an enthusiastic and happy smile on their faces.

you didn't have to be too smart to notice that nora was already a little bit drunken, and vanessa was holding the girl to keep her "sober".

as we go into the room, we approach the counter of the bar where they sell the drinks.
Maria starts speaking loudly with the tall man behind the counter, the music was so loud that the only thing i could ear was her muffled voice behind me. she gives me a shot and screams into my ear "DRINK IT ROSIE" before she pours it into her mouth. i copy her and after i did she drags me into the dance floor.

we start dancing together, just vibing. our bodys were only one, moving to the rhythm of the music.
i'm not much of a party person, i would rather stay home reading or watching a good movie. but in that moment, it just felt right. it's like i can't help myself and before i know it we we're dancing together and having fun.

we keep dancing for a while, and I start to feel more relaxed and comfortable. I start to get into the groove of the music and I start to forget about my awkwardness. I'm caught up in the moment and it feels good to let loose and just let go. there's something freeing about dancing without caring what other people think, and I'm really enjoying myself. my body was just moving around the big room with the music.

the room was filled with people, older and younger.
but then i feel maria's attention going to something else. now her attention is drawn to someone she's been looking forward to seeing all night.
i try to follow her gaze and now im looking at a group of boys, they were laughing with each other in a big black couch while drinking. they seem happy.
