Whenever I got out of class I felt a big relief wash over me. Finally time for me to take a shower and sleep warm in my log-like bed.
"Hey Soph"
I turned around and it was Eddie.
"Oh." I said. "What's up Ed."
"There's gonna be a party at a friend's, and there's gonna be lot's of people and it's gonna be wild." He said in the most casual way you could say you were gonna get fucked up. "You should come."
"For a History of Art degree you're a wild one." I laughed. "I don't think I want to if I'm being honest."
"Come on Soph, it's just a night." He insisted. "Plus the holidays are here. It's cold and a little vodka keeps you warm at night."
"I fucking hate vodka." I said. "But it's been a while since I last made out with someone, so maybe it's not that bad of an idea."
"You could always make out with me." He said with a wink and I just laughed. "Anyway, pick you up at 9?"
"Sure"

I learned in high school something that was useful for the rest of my life. Unless your future depends on it, don't over do make up.
Meaning I'm not gonna wear a lot, or use my high quality make up for a drunk ass party. Because 1) It will probably be stuffy as hell and I will sweat. 2) I will sweat. A lot. Like, a lot.
I decided on a simple black dress and some thighs. I'll probably freeze on the way there but it's not that far so I can survive and get there alive.
I'm not a huge fan of heels, so I put on some black flats. I'm already a little bit over 5'7 so I'm not a huge fan of stilettos or anything that made over 6 feet.
Except for a walk in town while I'm in the mood to attract boys over 6'2. But that's a whole different story.
Tonight was just a night of making out with tipsy boys and grinding before I get uncomfortable or they made sexist comments. The latter happened commonly first.
Someone knocked on my door and I went to open it.
"Oh man I was expecting Sophie the giraffe to open my door" Eddie laughed and stepped inside.
"Fuck you."
"You know, even if you were taller than me I'd still bang you."
"I know, you would always bang me, Ed." I rolled my eyes. "Let's get going babe."
"Ohh calling me babe." He said as he signaled me to step outside, having him following my steps. "Maybe tonight's my lucky night."
"You wish."

"Whose party is this, anyway?"
"Remember Daniel?"
"The dude that looks like he's still in the 90's?"
"Yeah." He said as we walked. "Well he loves to drink and play his old records pretending he's cool and everyone likes him. But you know, when you study art and plan a party with the chance of some available drugs, people will kiss your ass."

It had been around an hour and for the last 15 minutes I've been on a guy's lap making out with him.
It was going really well until I felt his growing homer and his 15 year old urge to get in my pants so I decided to slow it down a little.
I swear I felt his tongue touching the roof of my mouth before I decided it was enough and I needed another hook up. The guy will jizz in his pants anytime soon.
I stood up with a fake promise of bringing a drink and decided to get up and look for Eddie. He'd know some guy. Worst case scenario I'll end up making out with him.
We've been pretending to be best friends for a while but in reality we both really want to bang each other.
Don't get me wrong, I do like him. Like in a I-would-bake-you-cookies kind of way. Or I-see-you-meeting-my-mother.
But rushing things would only ruin them so I guess we're just taking our time.
He was sitting outside, criss crossed with guys around him. They were all either drunk or kind of tipsy. It's just been an hour. Geez.
I came behind him and put my arms around his neck. He jumped startled.
"Sorry Ed."
"Soph, what the fuck?" He laughed and moved aside giving me some space to sit next to him. "I lost you as soon as we came here."
"You know me."
He shook his head. "Let me introduce you to some cool guys."
"You're not drunk?"
"What?" He laughed. "Soph, it's only been an hour. I'm not in high school."
"Sorry, mature guy." I said and he only giggled. Giggled??? And out his arm around me. Someone is feeling a little touchy.
Maybe I did right by treating the downstairs lady real nice for this party. Maybe tonight's the night the lady has been waiting for.
"Anyway, guys this is Soph. A cool girl I met two years ago and who's a little crazy." He nudged me and had a smile in his face. "That is Aaron." He said pointing to a blonde guy with bright brown eyes. "That's Liam, and that's Luke." both guys were cute but not really relevant. He continued pointing to different dudes.
But I saw a guy smoking a cigarette and damn my lady went crazy. We locked eyes and I'm sure he knew.
"And that's Zayn."
