chapter eight! I'm always drunk on my own tears ☆
Saturday came much quicker than Cassandra would have wanted. The week had flown by, most of her hours taken up by studying and sitting around school. Now, she was stood a few streets away from her house, tightly clutching her jacket around her, waiting for Pippa's car to pull up.
She was immediately regretting her decision of wearing a skirt, as the tights she paired with it were not doing their job of keeping her legs warm, the fabric being a few inches shorter than her knee. She was thankful, however, that she at least wore a jumper and jacket overtop. It was dark out and she was a victim of the cold, evening breeze.
Finally, headlights came into view and the blonde instantly relaxed at the sight. She quickly climbed into the car and whispered her "hello's" to everyone, the goosebumps on her skin instantly vanishing from the heat of Pip's car.
"So, do you actually know where we're going? It's kind of creepy out here?" the Bell questioned as the four girls walked down a path in the forest. Cassie's phone torch was their only source of light and the group of girls walked closely together.
"This way." Pip spoke as she looked down at the map on her own phone. They turned and a lit-up cave appeared, looking more intimidating than she could have imagined.
Lauren was the first to comment; "This is unreal."
"Maybe we should turn back?" Cara suggested and Cassie couldn't help but hum in agreement.
Pip was quick to turn the idea down, "You'll be fine once we go in." but Cassie could hear the hesitation in her voice as she gulped.
The three friends walked in and Cassie followed staying a few steps behind them. "Great, this is really fucking dodge."
It was just as Cassie envisioned, the loud, pulsing beat of the music immediately echoing in her ears the second she walked in, and the strobe lights flashed in bright colours before her eyes, cutting through the fog that surrounded the room. It was crowded with people, warm and thick with the scent of sweat and alcohol.
Lauren had slipped away for about a minute, before coming back balancing three blue solo cups in her hands. "I tried to do a Sex On The Beach, but they only had vodka and orange so it's mainly just... beach." She exclaimed over the music, smiling. She handed one of the three cups to Cara and the other to Cassie who gave each other a small amused glance before taking the drinks.
Cassie couldn't help but chuckle as she gladly accepted the drink, clinking it together with the other two girls who gave each other a curt nod before taking a small sip. Cass held back at first, still needing to figure out what the purpose of attending the calamity was and what she was supposed to do.
As Cara and Lauren began wandering away and further into the crowd, Cassandra took the opportunity and grabbed Pippa's upper arm, pulling her to the side but not so they were directly out of people's eyeline. "So, who or what are we looking for?" She questioned but to no response from the brunette, Cassie's eyes started darting around her face for any clues, only to be met by a look of hesitation.
