My favorite enemy

Chapter five | drunk clutz

"I SAW HIM STANDING THERE BY THE RECORD MACHINE..." Valerie looks at me to continue the lyrics and I give her a smirk.

"I KNEW HE MUST'VE BEEN ABOUT SEVENTEEN..." I giggle as I look back at Jack, still trying to pay attention to the road as much as possible.

"No, absolutely not." Jack says crossing his arms. Me and Valerie give him a pouty face from the front of the car. "Come on, please?!" I beg.

He can't help but let out a smirk. "THE BEAT WAS GOIN STRONG.. PLAYIN MY FAVORITE SOOOOOONG!!!" Jack belts out and we all can't help but laugh at his tone deaf notes.

After about fifteen minutes, I feel my heart race as I pull up to the curb of Justin's house, I look over and see people on all three stories.

Through the windows, in the front yard, in the living room window. There's people literally everywhere you look, which made my anxiety run high.

"Come on, let's go!!!" Jack says, wasting no time as he jumps out of the car. Valerie jumps out right after him, I wait for a moment and collect myself before following shortly behind them.

I see familiar faces as I pass by, I try not to look as I face forward and walk right through the front door. I don't even notice as Jack and Valerie already raced their way to the drink table.

I smile to myself, as long as they were having fun that's all that mattered to me. The only reason I'm here is to supervise.

Valerie and Jack down a shot of something clear before pouring more in their cup. "Scarlett, take one shot.. please? It'll be a bit before we head home anyways it'll be fine." Jack whines as he speaks.

I hesitate for a moment, "no I really-" I stop myself. It's only a shot, I'll still be okay to drive, just to make them happy I'll do it this once.

"Whatever fuck it." I take it from them and down it. The taste of Grey Goose immediately hits my taste buds.

"Oh Jesus.." I say under my breath as I close my eyes tight.

My sophomore year, the first party I went to I got absolutely smashed off Grey Goose and I swear I haven't been the same since, though a wave of nostalgia hit me as soon as I took the shot.

"WOO!!" Valerie squeals before chugging damn near her entire drink out of her red solo cup. Jack watches and laughs before copying her.

"You guys really need to slow down, the night is young and I'd prefer if no one vomited in my car tonight." I chuckle a bit despite the fact that I'm dead serious.

"Oh chillax, we will be fine I promise!" Valerie gives me a big smile as she flicks her brown ponytail to the side.

I knew they were in good hands, especially being with me. Yeah the two of them were a handful when they were drunk but it gives me something to do besides sit here and be harassed by a bunch of jocks.

I look to my left and in the distance at the back of the house I spot Daniel and Justin. I hold my breath for a moment as I look away, hoping they didn't see us but I was wrong.

I can see Justin's cocky grin from a mile away as they get closer, they finally reach us and Justin puts his arm around Valerie.

"Hello ladies.. and gentleman." Daniel says as he puts his arm around my shoulder and I cringe internally.

"Hey." I finally spit out, I didn't want to be too friendly.. but I also didn't want to risk them having a reason to have it out for me.

Justin turns to Jack, "Hey man, we're doing a game of beer pong over here." He nudges his head back towards where they came from. "If you care to join us?" He adds.

Jack is already a bit tipsy, and if anything involves alcohol he's in. "Yeah for sure! Hey I'll be around guys." He pats mine and Valerie's shoulder. "Don't forget to have fun!" He shouts as him, Justin, and Jack walk away.

Valerie turns to look at me, "I really don't want to drink alone now that Jacks not here.." she pouts as she looks at me with her puppy dog eyes.

I groan as I look at her, I know that I wouldn't want to drink alone either. "Okay, but only a little. I need to be able to sober up before I take us home." I grab the vodka off of the table and pour myself a shot along with Valerie.

"YAYYY!" She exclaims as she quickly downs shot number I don't even know. I smile as I hold up my shot before taking it.

"Sheesh!" I let out, once again making that same sour face I always made while drinking.

Valerie laughs and we take one more after the one we just took, when suddenly we hear one of our favorite songs.

"Scarlett do you hear that?!" She quickly grabs my hand, "we have to go dance like now!

I laugh a bit, the liquid courage getting to me a tiny bit. "Okay okay coming!" I say as she strings me along.

...

About an hour or so later, one drink turned into two.. and two turned into four. And well, needless to say I'm more than drunk.

Me and Valerie twirl around the house dancing around, play fighting a bit. She pushes me and I push her back, I laugh as she pushed me with a bit more force.

Just then someone walks by and I slam right into them. "Oh shit I'm so-" I turn around to see who it is and it felt like my eyes deceived me.

The new boy, him and his perfect hair tower over me. I stand there just staring for a moment. I feel Valerie's golden brown eyes burn into the back of my head.

"Maybe watch where you're going, clutz." He says and I scoff as I look up at him.

Really a clutz?! What a fucking asshole! I think to myself before I start to walk away. Wait no fuck that!I swing back around.

"All have you know, I am NOT a clutz. It was clearly an accident, someone doesn't know how to accept an apology." I scoff as I clearly slur my words.

"Okayyy that's enough of that let's go.." Valerie says as she grabs my arm, new boy doesn't say anything as Valerie pulls me away.

"What an asshole, who the hell does he think he is?!" I blurt out in my drunken state of mind.

"Yeah that was a dick move of him, just don't think about it. Let's have fun!!!" Valerie says trying to lighten the mood which almost always works.

I sigh, "Yeah I guess you're right.." I say before taking another swig of my drink and heading to the dance floor.

Side note, I'm sorry that I'm having to drag this party out to two chapters. I just really want to get both POVS. I think you guys might like the next chapter though, lots of tea! ;)
