Contrast (Being Rewritten)

Chapter 37

Carmen

Giggles explode from me, and I can't stop them. I saunter down the hallway to the front door. Shoving people out off my way, I finally make it outside. It is considerably cooler with the inside being full off people. I look for something to do when I spot Kyle and burst out in laughter again for absolutely no reason.

He is sitting at a picnic table, a ton of shot glasses in front of him. A lot of Cody and his friends, including some giggly girls, stand around the table chanted "chug, chug!" I sit down across from him and Cody shouts.

"Hey, we have a challenger to the Champion Chugger," I laugh. I forgot that Kyle holds the highest record of drinking shots at Cody's parties. Suddenly, something clicks.

"Wait a minute... I am not challenging Kyle!" I try to stand up but one of Cody's friends pushes down on my shoulders. "Cody, I-" he cuts off my protest.

"Pretty, pretty, pretty please Carmen. If anybody is going to beat him, it's you!" Cody pouts, giving me irresistible puppy dog eyes.

"Ugh, fine!" I sigh in defeat. I watch as they fill shot glasses and place them in front of me. While they do that, I look up at Kyle. "How did you get out here so fast?" I had left him only moments before, right after I had puked in Damien.

"When Cody and his friends want you to do something, there is nothing you can do to stop them," a dark look passing across his adorable features. I frown, wondering what the hell Cody had done to Kyle.

"Are you ready?!" Cody's friend, Trevor, lifts his hands high above his head. I shrug and Kyle nods slowly. "Then... You... May... BEGIN!" My hand flies out grabbing the first shot glass. Throwing my head back, I gulp down the contents. When I'm done, I slam the glass back down on the table upside down and reach for the next.

When I finish off the last one, I put my hand up in the air. "Done," I gasp out. I look down at the glasses. That was ten shot glasses. Shaking my head, I look up at Kyle just as he sets down he last drink.

Everybody surrounding us murmurs and gasps and 'ooh'. I had just beaten the Champion Chugger- which I guess that made me the new Champion Chugger. Way to go Carmen, I think. "Dude," Trevor says. "You just got beat.... By a girl." Kyle playfully glares at me and I laugh. Looking up at the house I see Jordan pulling Willow along as they pass by the window.

"We'll time to stir the shit pot. Ciao!" I give a Little Rascals wave and start to skip to the house.

"Hang on. You aren't going to be forgiven for taking my title away so easily," Kyle says once he catches up with me.

"I'm sorry. I thought that you were faster and that I wasn't going to beat you!" I wink at him before taking off towards the house as fast as I could after drinking ten shot glasses. Dashing up the stairs, I reach the second floor when Kyle grabs me. He tickles me and I fall on the floor trying to get away.

Suddenly a door flies open and out flies the lovely Sam with a guy connected to her lips. She doesn't see Kyle's face when he sees her. She doesn't see Kyle as he runs away. She doesn't see the look of disgust and rage that crossing his face. But I do. Jumping up I run and chase after him, cursing the day Sam was born.
