"Girl get the fuck up!", Lexi throws an empty cup at me.
"OW! what the hell!?", I ask wiping the sleep from my eyes.
"We have that stupid high school reunion. Remember?", she responds, hitting me jokefully on the shoulder.
"Ughhh why are we doing this? shouldn't we wait until were wrinkly and have kids like normal people!?", I groan.
"Just get up please I'm not being late because of you.. again!", Lexi giggles.
I start getting ready, very tiredly. It's autumn so I put low-cut flared jeans on with a tight maroon turtle-neck sweater. I put my shoes on quickly and rush out the door to meet Lexi in the car, almost forgetting my keys and phone. I finally get in the car. It's Lexi's car. I don't know why she even owns one. We live in New York City so I just take taxi everywhere. But none the less, she insists to keep her yellow Volkswagen Beetle.
"Ughhhhh I don't wanna dooo thisss!", I yawn from my lack of sleep.
"Girly, how late did you stay up?", Lexi laughs.
"I stayed up 'til 4am watching Shameless", i frown flakily to conceal my laughs.
We finally arrive at the post-school function and then I notice him.. And it's not "him" in a cute way, it's him.. Let me explain. James Ferrad is my ex-boyfriend. And things we're shit. I was a bitch and he was emotionally just not there and just overall really rude. He wouldn't make any moves in our relationship. eventually I pushed him too far and well.. I kept going back to him, that's the thing. it was like a relapse. I'm just glad it's over, but it's still awkward.
Oh no..
He's coming over here..
"Hey Lena! long time no see", he smiles.
"Hi.. Sorry! I'm just a little out of it.", I giggle awkwardly
shit! now I'm the awkward one!
"We haven't really talked since the Senior Winter Formal. Right?"
I nod.
This is the worstttt I frown.
"Well no need to be a bitch..", he states bluntly
WHAT THE FU-
"Excuse me?!", I hiss back angrily
Lexi's jaw is hanging open from shock (not actually). She looks at me with a long face and eyes that are just as confused as mine.
"whatever", I shrug.
"Do you wanna skip this and go to the club or something. I'm not drinking because alcohol is gross, but I'll drive. it'll be way more fun. I promise.", Lexi suggests.
"Yes! ofc! but I'm drinking just an fyi", I giggle and wink.
"We have to show face though!", I groan.
"We need to stop complaining", Lexi laughs.
(1hr later)
"I can't do this let's go", I whisper while fake smiling.
"Definitely", Lexi whispers back.
"Excuse me, I have to go the bathroom", I smile and grab your hand and pull you up and sneak away from the table. Eventually we get out from hell (the restaurant)
"Okay your driving!" I say out of breath.
"Obviously", Lexi replies jokingly rolling her eyes.
We slam the car doors in and start playing music max volume, as we always do. Lexi and I gossip about different teachers and students we just re-discovered.
"We're here!!!", I squeal, thankful to be out of the restaurant.
While we're hitting it on the dance floor (y'know it)
Eventually I get very drunk. A random man, who appears to be
just as drunk as me, approaches.
"Hello, I'm Cyle. I noticed you from across the club and wondered if I could have your number?", the man smiles with almost perfect teeth. He looked like a dream (<REMEMBER THAT)
"Uh, sure!", I smile awkwardly.
The man walks away after getting my number and does a stupid little cheer to himself that makes me and Lexi giggle.
Lexi nudges me.
"Okay iconnn!", she claps and we giggle.
"Okay please take me home before I make a mistake!" I laugh.
Lexi practically has to drag me out of the club before I end up going home with that random guy.
There's stains on my clothes and the end of jeans are ripped. I end up passing out in the passengers seat. Lexi has to carry me to the couch while im mumbling in protest, "mmm", i cry drunkenly. I fall asleep immediately on the couch and wake up on the floor with the worst hangover ever.
(NEXT MORNING)
"Oh my god how much did i drink last night?", I say rubbing my head.
"more than the healthy amount that's for sure.", she replies in the kitchen while making breakfast.
"Oh yeah and and you got a guys number!", Lexi adds.
"Noooo", I drag my hands across my face smearing my, already ruined, makeup more.
"I'll run the errands today. I should be fine", I groan.
