"COME OUT! LET ME SEE!!!" Kat shouts from outside the door as I stare at my reflection in the bathroom mirror.

I have a tight blue long sleeve with a keyhole cutout and the black ripped mom jeans. I don't look bad. But the top squeezes my tummy too much for my liking.

"ELLAAAAAAA" Kat bangs on the door.

"alright! alright! I'm coming" I unlock the door as it swings open to Kat who's in this short, tight, white ruffled dress with a tiara and small veil in her hair.

"YOU ARE SO HOT!!" She screams grabbing my arms making me spin around as she smacks my ass.

"hey!" I jolt from her sudden touch, it's not something I'm exactly comfortable with.

"sorry ..." she gives me a sheepish smile.

"you look amazing" I gush at her, she hair is down in curls, her makeup is done beautifully with silver and sparkles decorating her eyes.

"oh stop it! but tell me more" she smiles making me roll my eyes at her jokes as I walk over slipping on my beat up converse.

"I hope you have your walking shoes" I tell her standing up as I see the heels she's wearing.

"I promise these are comfortable heels! plus ill be too drunk to feel any pain anyways." she says drinking a can of white claw.

"I don't want to hear you complaining" I give her a stern look.

"I promise mommmm, I won't" she says holding her pinky out in front of me.

I hook my pinky with hers as she shake our hands together, "ok so where are the other girls?" I ask.

She pulls her phone our, "they're going to meet us there so I already got our uber" she holds her phone out showing that the driver is 3 minutes away.

"alright lets go" I grab my phone and ID along with some cash that I put in the back of my phone case.

"party time!" she cheers chugging the rest of her drink and tossing the can in the bin.

"SHUT UP AND DANCE" I sing out loud with Kat and Marcia as we all jump up and down in the middle of the crowded space as bright neon lights flash making it feel like we're in a time warp.

Once the song finishes my throat scratches from all the yelling, "I'LL BE RIGHT BACK!" I shout to them through the loud music that blares making it impossible to hear my own thoughts.

I lean against the bar and smile to myself, I'm so used to being behind the bar that standing in front of it feels wrong. I'm barely old enough to stand in front of it. I spin the paper bracelet around my wrist as I wait for someone to become free to order.

"what do you want beautiful?" my head snaps up to see the cute bartender with floppy brown hair and these bright green eyes in front of me with a smile.

"I'll take a glass of water please?" I asked and he just nods filling the cup with ice and topping it off with water.

He hands me the cup as our fingers brushes against one another and he froze staring right at me with a surprised look on his face, he slowly lets go of the cup and gives me a wink. "here you go beautiful" he says walking off to serve a few other costumers.

I lean against the counter as I sip my water while watching Kat and her friends dancing and having fun, cheesy but it brings a smile to my face.

The hair on the back of my neck rises making my eyes dart around the dark room, I suck in a breath when my eyes connect with a familiar pair of brown orbs. Lorenzo, and right next to him is his best friend Brady. An involuntary shiver goes down my body as he starts walking across the room.
