Chapter 17: The Party

I intertwined my fingers with Veneer's as we walked into my sister's friend's dorm, which was filled with Rageons, Birgans, Vacationers, Trolls, and Ditzers.

"So where's your friend?" I asked my sister.

"She's around. Poppy? Hey Poppy where are you?" Lenny called.

In a few minutes I heard a: "Hi!" From below.

I looked down to see a small pink Troll, another Troll was next to her, except she had wavy yellow hair.

"Poppy! Viva! How are you guys?" Lenny asked.

"We're good." The one with the yellow hair responded, smiling. "How are you?"

"We're alright." Lenny grinned. "So what's up?"

"Not much." The pink one shrugged. She looked over at me, Orchid, Veneer, and Velvet curiously. "Who are you?"

"Those are my siblings." Lenny explained.

"Cool," She said, "want some punch?"

"Sure!" And with that, Lenny went with them over to a table littered with snacks and drinks.

I saw that there was a little troll by the karaoke box singing, his magenta hair swaying along to the beat as his sky blue hands gripped the tiny microphone.

"🎶 And when the lights start flashing like a photo booth, and the stars exploding we'll be fireproof~ 🎶"

"Hey Ven, you should do karaoke!" Velvet elbowed him.

"Why?" He raised an eyebrow as he poured punch into his cup.

"Uh, because it's fun." Velvet says.

Veneer rolled his eyes and smiled. "Fine. But after I finish this." He sipped the punch in his hand, his eyes widening. "Oh my God y'all need to try this."

We all got ourselves cups and began sipping. Orchid and Velvet let out content noises, meanwhile I coughed at the sudden burn of alcohol.

I managed to gulp down the liquid in my mouth and put the cup down.

"You don't want it?" Ven asked.

"No thank you." Was my response.

He shrugged and took the cup, downing it fast. When he'd finished, he turned and went over to the karaoke box, and selected a song.

I watched as he raised the microphone to his lips as the music began playing.

And oh God I knew this song.

"🎶 New truck, big lift, old roads we've been tarin' up since way back when. But these wheels are innocent~ 🎶"

He glanced at me and I felt my face heat up, my God why am I like this?

"🎶 New hitch, new seats, no history, and you just can't fake that, so let's change that~ 🎶"

"🎶 Boy, let's go put some miles on it, back of the Chevy with the engine runnin'~ just you and me in a truck bed wide like a California King, we could break it in if you know what I mean~ 🎶"

I swear that lustful look he gave me made my face heat up as if someone had used a match to set it aflame.

Oh I'm so fucked... I thought.

"🎶 Put some miles on it, back of the Chevy with the engine runnin' just you and me in a truck bed wide like a California King, we could break it in if you know what I mean~ 🎶"

"🎶 Put some miles on it (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) we could break it in if you know what I mean ~ 🎶"

"🎶 All night, no breaks, all tail, no gate. Ain't gotta try to hard, my baby's push to start~ all torque, full speed, off road on me~ Zero to a hundred fast, my foot ain't touched the gas~ 🎶"
