Daniella's dress above 👆
After I got changed into Charlie's surprisingly comfortable navy dress, everyone got back into Charlie's car and we arrived at the party quickly. We all got out of the car and headed to the busy door.
"Someone try and stay with D-Ella." Jonathan said, patting my head.
I slightly flinched at the sudden contact, though I don't think it was recognizable.
"I don't need someone to look after me." I grumbled at the boys in annoyance.
"You are the youngest." Jonathan informed me, raising his eyebrows.
"Darn it." I muttered, realizing that he is correct. Luke is eighteen, Charlie is sixteen, and Jonathan is eleven minutes older than me.
"You're the younger twin?" Charlie asked.
"By eleven minutes" Me and Jonathan said at the exact same time.
I rolled my eyes when Luke and Charlie laughed at our synchronized talking.
We walked right up to the door, Luke raising his hand to knock.
"Please don't hover over me." I said to the boys before Luke knocked, wanting to have the freedom to meet other people.
What?
I'm a social butterfly!
"You don't know anyone though." My brother said, speaking the truth.
"Fine." Charlie agreed to my request.
"Sure thing princess." Luke replied, knocking on the door.
"Ugh..." Jonathan complained, "Do whatever you want."
The door opened and noise blasted my eardrums, loud music, talking, and happy screaming.
"Welcome!" Said a boy I didn't recognize, with brown hair and light beige skin.
"Hey dude." Charlie said giving the boy a fist bump.
"Come on in!" The boy yelled over the music.
We entered the door and I was surprised at how packed it was. The entire school must've jammed into the medium sized house.
"Hey it's the new kid!" Yelled a girl, causing me to look over at her.
Luke put an arm around my shoulder, making me look back at him.
"Just ignore them Dani. Uh, Ella." He said loudly, over all of the shouting people.
"Ok, sure." I agreed.
Charlie and my brother quickly took off towards a group of girls. Who were pretty hot... they were sweating really hard and their faces were red. They were also pretty, they were all blonds... how stereotypical.
"You sure you can be left alone?" Luke asked.
"Yeah, off you go!" I yelled, pushing him towards where my brother and Charlie went.
I went over to the crowded table of snacks and chairs and took at seat.
There was a redhead girl on the other side of the table serving up drinks and getting people food. The table was smooth tan wood. Almost everyone had a tiny cup and was drinking... what I assumed was fruit punch or apple juice.
"Wanna drink new girl?" Asked the girl behind the counter. She was wearing a short ruffled sage green dress.
"Oh sure." I replied, not sure why I was so thirty.
The girl turned around and started pouring something I couldn't see into a small cup like everyone else's.
"Here you go." The girl said, turning around and handing me the drink.
"Thanks!" I yelled over the blasting music.
I took a drink of the mystery beverage and was surprised at the unfamiliar taste. I downed the whole thing in two sips. It tasted like a mix of coffee, yet was also very bitter and almost flavorless at the same time.
"Dang girl." The redhead said to me, refilling my drink.
I drank it again, and after a minute I started to feel more relaxed, less anxious.
"Want anymore!?" The red shouted, trying to talk over the music.
Why are the cups so small?
"Sure." I replied, downing half of another cup, loving the way my worry floated away.
I sat at the counter for a while, continuing to drink more and more... not realizing what was in the cups.
My mind started to go a little hazy, and my memory was getting lousy...
"I'm happy." I randomly said to the redhead, whose name I learned was Katana.
"Umm... have you ever drank before?" Katana asked me.
"What do you... mean?" I asked her.
I could see her mouth moving in a response, but I wasn't really picking up what she was saying.
Suddenly Katana was up in my face, "Who. Did. You. Come. With?" She asked.
"Oh uh..." I tried to remember but I couldn't.
My stomach started to hurt...
What was in that drink?
That definitely wasn't punch.
"Where do you live?" Katana asked me.
"Oh..." I mumbled, "By the Moon."
I was by a Monnbucks at some point right?
"And, she's gone tipsy." The redhead announced, throwing her hands in the air.
"Haha." I laughed, not knowing what she meant.
"Stay here." She instructed, moving somewhere I couldn't see.
I did what she said.
"Hey gorgeous." Said the boy sitting next to me.
"Hi." I mumbled, holding my hurting stomach with my hands.
"... drank a ... huh?" He asked.
I couldn't really heard him over the music, and my brain was being weird.
"Let's dance." I randomly blurted out, liking the song that came on next.
I went to stand up and started to fall to the floor.
"Woah there." The boy said, catching me before I hit the ground.
"Hello, I like apples." I said randomly, feeling in a weirdly happy mood.
"Ok, cool." The boy holding me replied.
I started to lose track of time, and before I knew it someone was carrying me outside.
"I love the weather!" I told the person holding me.
"Dang, this girl's weird when she's positive." Said a voice I recognized.
I said more random stuff, and the guy holding me put me in a car, buckling my seatbelt for me.
"Hey... you look like me!" I exclaimed, locking eyes with the boy sitting next to me. "We look like twins..."
The boy signed and rolled his eyes.
"I'm tired..." I mumbled.
"Go to sleep drunk girl." Said the boy next to me.
I laughed, but closed my eyes, quickly falling asleep.
