(Maya)
I winced at the loudness of the music when we walked in. There were tons of disco lights all over the club, shining over all the people here.
It was a large open space, with a stage where a DJ stood playing a mix of 2010's music.
I kept my arms folded, throwing small grins at the people who Caterine or her friends said hey to us.
"What have you been doing so far!!?" Marisa yelled over what seemed to me like too-loud music.
"Oh, not much!! I don't really go out much!" I shouted over to her, and I was reminded why I hated coming to these big spaces. I could barely hear anyone.
"Why not?!" she asked.
I shrugged, "Not really my thing I guess!"
She gave me a quick nod and looked over at the DJ table and yelled loud enough "Well you're going to have fun tonight ok!!"
I smiled at her genuineness towards me. She felt kind. Enough at least for me to like her.
"Want to get drinks?" Marisa asked me.
"Sure!" I replied.
We made our way to the bartender, and Marisa ordered for us to the older guy who I'd guess was about 40 years old. He had a sleeve tattooed on his forearm bringing the whole "bartender look" together. While she ordered, I noticed the red LED lights of some writing sign on the wall.
"Cheers" it said in swirly lettering.
Marisa handed me my drink, "Thanks for getting that" I said to her.
"No problem!" and she took a few sips of her drink.
"What do you all usually do here?" I asked, taking a few sips of my drink too. Jesus this is strong.
"Like at the clubs?" her big brown eyes looking up at me.
"Yeah"
She was definitely more ecstatic to be here than me, I could say that for sure.
"Oh you know, make out with people, dance, drink, and if I get lucky, take someone home!"
I nodded in understanding. Nice.
