Infinite Love

Chapter 3

[March: Beasley's Party]

Here I am, sitting in the corner, alone, at a party I didn't want to be at. I was dragged here by my team, who claim to be my friends, but I know they aren't. They just hang with me because of my popularity that I didn't ask for. I just wanted to play my sport, I didn't ask for any of this. I don't drink and I definitely don't party, I would much rather be at home, doing anything else.

The only saving grace at this party is...Noa Olivar. She's a fantastic track star, and man is she gorgeous. I mean I've never seen anyone so beautiful before. I want to go over there and make a move, but I know she would never go for me. I don't even know if she's into girls.

I'm brought out of my thoughts, "Gianna!" I hear

I turn and see a shot being shoved in my face, "Here, drink this" He says, handing me a shot

"No thanks, I don't drink" I say

"Come on, loosen up. It's just one shot" He says

I mean, it is just one shot, "Okay fine" I say

I take the shot from him and down it, "Ah" I grimace as it slides down my throat

"Have fun" He says before he walks away

That was a weird thing to say, but he's drunk so I let it slide. I hang around for a little bit before I start to feel weird. My head becomes fuzzy so I decide to get some fresh air. I stumble outside, my vision is becoming blurry. I try to start walking back to my house before I stumble and fall to the ground, "Ah" I groan in pain

I look up and see a shadowy figure before everything goes black. Next thing I remember, it's morning and I have a pounding headache. I look around at my surroundings and see I'm back in my room, "How'd I get back here?" I whisper

I get up slightly grimacing in pain as I walk into the bathroom and see dried blood on my face from cuts everywhere. I lift my shirt and see bruises on my ribs, "What the fuck happened last night?" I ask myself

I notice I'm still in my clothes from last night, so I know nothing sexual happened. My mind is fuzzy and I can't remember anything past falling on the ground.

[Present Day: Still in Detention]

"Karen had a party at her house maybe six months ago. It was the night Karen, Kelly and I stopped being friends" Imogen says

"Wait, I think was at this party, randomly, fully tryna be one of those cool kids in that 80s rom-com kind of way" Tabby says

"Oh yeah, I saw you with your boyfriend" Noa says

"Who, Chip? No, Chip is not my boyfriend. He's more like my gay best friend, who happens to be straight" Tabby says

"Well, I was there with my boyfriend, right before he became my boyfriend" Noa says

I roll my eyes, "I heard about the party...after the fact" Mouse says

"Karen invited me to that party, but I chose not to go" Faran says

"I was there, not by choice. My teammates dragged me there" I say

I try to push the memory away, "There's a video from that night...that someone made on their phone of Karen, which, if people saw it...would destroy her" Imogen says

"Destroy Karen? Like, embarrass Karen?" Noa asks

"If we posted it somewhere?" Faran asks

"Exactly. She is messy as fuck in it" Imogen says
