- Luna, please! You came back to Australia after 6 years, try to enjoy it and come to the party with me. Please!-Begged me my best friend, Katie.
-Stop!-I said. I'll go with you.
-What?-katie's eyes sparkled.
-But promise me you'll be with me the whole time!
-I promise!-She said and hugged me.
In 6 years in Miami, I forgot how much fun we used to have here. I turned 23 today and I can happily say that I will finish university this year. Katie came to visit many times, but I never came to see her, I don't even understand why, I grew up here.
Maybe because of my parents, with whom I never agreed on anything, or maybe because of the people I wanted to forget.
You have to look like a whore!-Katie interrupted my thoughts.
She searched her closet for a suitable dress for me, but since our styles are quite different, it was not an easy task. She is very wild and I am more withdrawn.
While she searched, I stared out the window;The moonlight was hidden behind the vibrant city lights. The modern buildings were darkened by the August rain, and people's hair was blown by the wind...Oh the typical Melbourne nights.. how could I not miss them?
-Got it!- Katie exclaimed.
-Wow! That's really fucking pretty.
-But I think I'm going to get cold.- I said.
-Don't worry, we're going by taxi. - answered Katie, who is literally not worried about anything.
After a few minutes of make-up, we got into the taxi.
-Who will be there?-I asked as I adjusted my dress.
-I don't know exactly, but Noah, Troye and Mia will definitely be there.-Answered.
As I heard the names, I had flashbacks of old childhood memories.
We lived very close to each other and hung out together. Everyone kept in touch with everyone until we were almost 18, then everyone went their own way.
Childhood friendships are perhaps the purest forms of human relationships, as they are not yet burdened by the complexity of life and interests.
Although we often drift away from our childhood friends throughout life, these relationships remain timeless in our memories and remind us of who we once were.
As soon as we got out of the taxi, the cold air hit me and I couldn't wait to get into the building.
The atmosphere of the party could already be felt in front of the house: booming bass, laughter, and lights flashing up to the gate. As soon as I enter the living room, I was immediately hit by the heat and the smell of alcohol. An improvised dance floor has formed in the middle of the room, where the crowd dance to the rhythm. The energy on the dance floor was almost palpable, and the music seemed to never end. Everyone was freed and enjoying the night obliviously, problems and worries seemed far away in this wild, full of life world. It was the moment when everyone lived only in the present, and dance became the language that connected everyone.
Since it was a house party where there were about 70 people, few people noticed us, so we went to say hello to old friends.
Mia and Noah were right next to each other; OH MY FUCKING GOD LUNA!! It's been a long time since I saw you.-Mia jumped on my neck.
And you're still beautiful!-I hugged her back.
What a surprise! I'm glad you're here.- Said Noah, hugging me.
Do you guys know where Troye is? -Katie asked.
-Half an hour ago, I saw him disappear with a brown-haired boy in a blue T-shirt.-Noah said laughing.
-Honestly, I was hoping to see him tonight. I heard his new album and I'm very proud of him.-I said.
-He's very talented!-Katie answered.
-I'm going out on the terrace to smoke a cigarette, wait here, I'll be right back.- I said, and before I could get out I poured myself a shot of vodka.
I'm going to need this to loosen up a bit.
I rolled a joint on the terrace, I didn't want anyone to know about it, so I didn't invite anyone with me. Unfortunately, this calm process was disturbed by someone, someone who just wanted to come out on the terrace.
