My whole life I dreamt of living out by the ocean, studying marine biology, living my best life by the salty ocean. That's what my life has always been. Silence. Although when I go to my dream college in Florida to study marine biology my internship...
It was a hot day in Florida, like everyday- but today was especially hot. I had my classes today and Cierra was wanting to go to a party tonight, mainly because Jamie was gonna be there and she saw us talking at the previous party we went to. Dead set on trying to get me my first boyfriend. I basked in the heat, my Jansport backpack slung over my shoulder, holding onto my books with one hand. I look over to my right. Leila was attempting, key word? Attempting to do a kick flip with her Tim Hortons caramel ice cap in her hand, tripping over her own feet. I look away so I can stifle a laugh in my hand while I hear Saydii shout "Dumbass!" I shake my head. Cierra is talking to a football player. Well, not even really talking. He was (man)explaining something about the stock market and lukewarm conspiracy theories.
Figuring I should go out and help her. I go up to her and this 6'0 brainless douche and grab her arm. "Cierra cmon we have class." I quickly stated loud enough for the guy to hear. Cece sighed as soon as we got far enough from the guy. I look over at her. She was dressed in a matching tank top, some short Jean shorts and her hair up in a claw clip. Matching my outfit without even realising. "Who was that?" I ask. Cece rolls her pale blue eyes. "I honestly forgot his name. And everything he was telling me about."
"-but what I'm not forgetting is to ask if you want drinks later with some of my older friends or! We could do another party." Cierra asked. Cierra was always about getting me out, or shoving her free time up with doing stuff like that. I sigh. "I have to study." Cece looks at me annoyed, then a spark ignites in her eyes. Very scary if you ask me. "Jamie offered to come to either if you're there." I stiffen. Absolutely not is he seeing me drunk again. "I'll go if Jamie ISN'T going." Cece's shoulders slump and her face drops with an annoyed sigh.
"Fine. I'll tell him that you aren't going to save face. See you later mimi." I smile a bit. "Thanks. See you Cece."

Heat washed over my body while I giggled and laughed. Nobody was making jokes, nothing was funny. But I definitely felt like it was. My outfit was just a sweat set, a claw clip and some gold bracelets with a pair of tennis shoes. Cierra was dressed more like 'going-out-for-drinks' like. With a tight sparkly blue dress, some guy I forgot the name of, that was freshly 21 had Cierra at his hip. She laughed and I just sat there.
Cierra was engrossed in a conversation with that guy, his two other friends excused themselves to the bathrooms 10 minutes later, presumably to go snort crack in the old bar bathroom stalls because they came out jittery and messed up. I hiccuped and messily grabbed my phone to go get an Uber . One of the boys was supposed to take us back to the dorm but even in my absolutely wasted state I knew that those crack and alcohol fueled fiends would not be good at operating heavy machinery in their state.
