Beyond the Lesson (TXS)

After Party

We make it to the party and it's definitely more than just people from our school here which definitely means we're getting shut down soon. "Oh my god! Rankin is here!" Maira says referring to the team we just won against.

"Oh yay great." I say sarcastically and she suck's her teeth.

"It'll still be fun. Come on." She pulls us in the house and I hold my breath to not get second hand high from the literal hot box we just walked into. We make it to the back where the pool is and Lucas and I breathe. "Dramatic the both of you I swear."

"We play sports M. Even contact high will screw us." Lucas says and she nods. "But I will take a shot." He says getting one from the table. I shake my head.

"What happened to no drinking?" I say and he sighs.

"Just one?" I roll my eyes and nod. He smiles and downs it.

"Well we only have one hour. So let's have fun." She says and takes off her top and Lucas's eyes pop out of his head and she runs into the pool. Everyone cheers her on and joins her.

Lucas continues to watch her with just pure admiration in his eyes and I chuckle. "Keep an eye on her." I say and he nods. I shake my head and go back in the house to find somewhere to wait this hour out. This is unfortunately Sierras house so I know there's a den no one is allowed to go in while a party is going on so I go down there. It has a pool table, and a flat screen tv that her dad and his buddies watch the games on. I sit down on the couch and set an alarm for exactly an hour to go find my friends. I go on my phone a just scroll on social media. Wonder if Ms. Romano has a instagram. I'd have to know her first name though. I just start searching up with potential names using her last and come up on one that the profile looks sorta like her. I go to click it but then I hear the door for the den open. I furrow my brows until the person comes fully down and I sigh rolling my eyes. "What are you doing down here?"

She shrugs. "I saw you come in here. You know you aren't supposed to be down here while a party is happening." Sierra says walking towards me as I continue sitting down. I lock my phone.

"Well I'm just getting some fresh air away from the alcohol and weed- and you." I say and she hums still walking towards. "Stop coming closer Sierra."

She stops and tilts her head. "I miss you Talia." I scoff. "I'm serious."

"Yeah well you should've thought about that before cheating on me with Sasha."

She sighs. "It was freshman year Talia. Come on it was a mistake."

I shrug. "And I got over it. Doesn't mean I want you back."

She walks to me and straddles my lap and puts her face in front of mine. I lean back into the couch to get away from her. "Are you really trying to tell me you don't miss me," she leans to my ear and I shiver. "And what we used to do? And how you made my body feel every time you laid your hands on me."She says looking down my body and then back to my eyes she grabs my hands and puts them onto her ass.

I take in a breath. "No." I say and she smiles.

"Is that so?" She grabs the back of my neck and pushes my head so our lips connect. I taste the alcohol on her lips and I push her off when she tries to slide her tongue in my mouth and stand up quickly wiping my mouth. "What's wrong?"

"I didn't want you to kiss me Sierra that's what's wrong!"

She rolls her eyes. "Why because you want to kiss on Maira?!" I roll my eyes now.

"Of course you started that rumor that we were dating! It's not like that Sierra and you know it." I say and she shrugs.

"Could've fooled me for how you chose her over me so much!"

"She's my bestfriend and used to be yours! And if me choosing to be there for my friend when she needs me instead of partying out with you every day is why you decided to cheat on me, grow the fuck up Sierra!" I grab my phone and head back upstairs ignoring her calls for me. I get upstairs and head back outside where I see Maira and Lucas in the pool fully clothed making out. "Uh hey love birds." I say and they look up at me with bright smiles on their faces and glossy eyes. Great they're drunk. "It's time to go."

They sigh. "It hasn't been an hour yet." Maira pouts with her arms around Lucas's neck.

"Don't care. Both of you are drunk and I'm not waiting until you're wasted to leave. So let's go we're staying at my place." I say and they nod. Lucas helps her get out the pool and then lifts himself up. They start taking off their clothes and I cover my eyes. "Aye! Whoah why?!"

"Uh I'm not getting in my car soaking wet." Maira says.

"And I just feel like being naked." Lucas says and I roll my eyes.

"One I am not driving with two of my bestfriends, naked so keep your clothes on. And two if you even think about doing that again I'll chop off your tits and your dick." I tell them and they nod repeated. "Let's go." I say and they follow me out the house.

I feel a hand on my arm before we make it out the door and I see Sierra. "Look I'm sorry for kissing you. I just-I just miss you Talia and I just wanted you to see that."

I shake my head and move my hand from her hold and we continue waking out. "You kissed Sierra?" Lucas asks slurring.

I sigh. "No she kissed me and we're not talking about this. Now get in the car." They both get in the back and I grab her keys to drive. I look in the rear mirror to see Maira on his lap as they make out. "Guys seriously. I'm all for you guys being together but seriously?" They just laugh and continue. I make it to the house and they get out the car still somehow making out. We make it inside and thankfully Tyson isn't here so them being drunk isn't an issue.

"Thank you for taking care of us Talia. You're the best." Maira says hugging me by my neck and I hug her back just so she won't fall back. "We can't kiss anymore. I have a boyfriend." She says in a whisper like it's a secret and I laugh.

"Uh correct babe, go to him." She lets me go and goes to sit on his lap on the couch. "Hey no fucking on the couch. Go to the guest room and I don't want to hear it." I tell them and they giggle and go to the guest room. "I was kidding!" The door close. "Ugh." I head upstairs to my room and stare out my window watching the branches move in the wind as the moon peeks through. My mind goes to Ms. Romano again like every day since Monday. I go back to my phone and click on the profile. Private, damn it! I try to look closer at the photo but don't see anything to tell me it's her. I turn off my phone saying forget it. I sigh. I should've got drunk.
