It Started With Hello

Chap. 105

"Tonight....No Way?!" Emma quickly shakes her head while laughing nervously. Now was not the time for her to be around large groups of people she just wanted a nice simple day with her friends was that to much to ask? Niki pouts crossing her arms like a child that just heard they can't have their favorite candy "Well that's that she said no...anyways you gonna call the guy?" Whitney said opening the bag of chips seemingly unbothered by the fact that she didn't want to go to the party. Niki let's out a snotty laugh tossing the boys number on the table "Of course not...I'm not into guys shorter then me in heels. I just thought it would be fun to go to the party so I took his number. He told me if I wanted to go to text him and he'd give me the address. Apparently it's some secret spot on campus or something" Whitney shrugs Emma's eyes drift to the number on the table Claire picks up the paper laying back on the floor holding it up. She sighs heavy "This could be our first college party. Come on guys don't you wanna go just to see what all the hypes all about?" she holds the paper high waving it around before sitting up. Whitney pushes a blonde braid behind her ear as she finished off her bag of chips "I'm not the party type and neither is Emma if she goes I'll go but other wise I'm fine with staying here" she stands up to throw her empty bag away Claire's eyes turn to Emma's. She and Niki give her the puppy dog eyes Claire holds her hands together whispering "Please please please! say we can go just this once Emma" Emma sighs she honestly didn't want to go. What was even the point of parties go to some random dark place with of drunk horny guys she guessed the point was just to get drunk and dance with random strangers? That didn't sound like fun to her she looks down at the ring around her finger fidgeting with it. She wondered if Blake would care if she went to the party sure she wasn't planning on drinking or anything but still it would probably be a bad idea. And she had a possible stalker out there waiting for her to slip up or something "Earth to Emma, your think to much are we going or not. It's up to you" Niki said while snapping her fingers. Why did it have to be her choice to make Emma thought before playing with her necklace "I don't even have anything to wear to a party guys" her said thinking she found the loophole "I'm sure you can fit some of Whit's dresses" Claire looks over at Whitney who has sat back down making Emma shut her eyes tight. It looks like she couldn't get out of this "Fuck fine....we'll go but not for long ok I'll have to get back home before 12" Claire lets out a excited squeak before standing up. Niki crosses her arms whispering "But that's when all the real parties get fun" Whitney glared at her shutting her up before she stands up. She takes the number from Claire "I mean, sounds like a plan I'll text him on the way home, I'll go there to change and be back. Claire you can go change and Whitney can help Emma pick out a outfit" she walks towards the door. Once she's gone Claire skips towards her room clearly excited leaving Whitney and Emma in the living room "You sure about this?" they both stand up she followed Whitney towards her room "No...not really but let's just try to have fun" Whitney let's out a soft laugh patting her on the back before entering her room.

The music was blaring Emma didn't even understand how the loud group of people could understand each other over it. The smell of alcohol and smoke filled the dimly lit room as the girls stumbled their way through the crowd pushing people out their way. The guy who invited Niki lead the way he told them when they got here this used to be one of the veternity house building. They closed it down when they built the new one on campus the dean of the college must have forgotten about this building because the power was still clearly on and the college turned it into a make shift unsupervised party house. He lead them into the kitchen where his friends were already drinking and laughing "These are my buddies I'm hoping we can all have a chill night together" the guys smile in their direction Emma gives a awkward wave. One of the guys with dark blonde hair runs his eyes over her body making her very uncomfortable she pulls at the end of the little red dress Whitney let her use it was pretty tight around the chest making her boobs look even bigger then they already are. Her got many looks while coming inside early but she tried to pay no mind to them his how ever threw her off. Multiple cases of beer lined up on the table the guy that invited Niki grabbed them handing one to each of the girls "Here you go ladies, here's to a night and a great start of the semester" he holds up the beer can with a smile gesturing for them to do the same. The boys left their cans without question the girls however look between each other hesitantly Niki looks at them before giving a shrug "What the hell" popping the cap and lefting her own can making the boys cheer slightly Claire follow opening her own can lefting it high. They all take a drink apart from Whitney picks at the lid of her can and Emma clinches her's. Emma slips backwards hoping know one would notice she didn't want to drink Whitney noticed stepping in front of her alittle "Aren't you gonna drink with us pretty girl?" the blonde said leading against the counter top she swallowed. Everyone's eyes turn to hers "She's our designated driver" Claire said trying to defend Emma's standoff behavior the guys whine egging her on to take a drink. Whitney turned her head looking over at Emma "Just take a sip I'll drive tonight" she whispered sitting her unopened can back on the counter. Emma never drunk before she didn't think this was a good idea drinking at a house full of strangers all the boys kept on egging her on to drink "Don't worry Emma I'll keep a eye on you to make sure nothing happens" Whitney said taking the can from her hand opening the top and hands it back. Claire smile hitting Whitney's arm slightly "We'll all keep a eye on each other nothing crazy will happen here tonight" Niki nods taking another sip from her can. Emma looks around as the guys begin chanting "Do it! Do it! Do it" the rest of the crowd in the kitchen soon join in clapping along with the chanting. She could feel her heart pounding in her ears as she looks around throwing her head back chugging the can of alcohol it burns the whole way down her throat. As she drank the cheers only got louder with pats on her back even though people were cheering like this was a celebration she had a bad feeling in the pit of her stomach this night was going to take a turn rather quickly.
