Drink it Away

Chapter 2

So this is chapter two I hope you like it J

“So London are you going to go to Sean’s party tonight”? Tiffany asked. London thought for a moment if it meant getting away from her step-father then she was all for it. “Sure. Is West side going to be there?” West side high was the rivaling high school but we don’t hate each other like the stereo typical high schools.

“I think so” Ashley answered. Tiffany and Ashley were not London’s true friends in fact they didn’t know anything about her home life they never bother to ask they only would stick around her so they catch some of her popularity. London still kept them around anyways they were good people.

“You know if West side is going to be there so will Todd” Ashley said cheekily. “Ugh…Todd…” Todd clung to London like tape. At a party London had gotten drunk and may have slept with him and now he thought they were meant to be. To put it bluntly London was a player. She wasn’t the player because she wanted to. People just labeled her one after a while because well she had pretty much dated half of the senior class.

“He is hot though” Tiffany retorted pulling open the doors to the school. “You can have him” London announced. London and Ashley separated from Tiffany as the two made their way to first period math. London was a terrible student. She had vandalized many mirrors and broken multiple windows and so much more.

London and Ashley arrived to Mr. Popper’s room five minutes late. She slowly opened the door preparing for the blow from Mr. Popper. “Your late” He said calmly. Strange she thought why was he being so nice? London brushed it off as one of his mood swings. “Good job, you can read clocks” She retorted her voice dripping with sarcasm. “Mrs. Mitchells I don’t appreciate your sarcasm”. Mr. Popper answered getting angrier. She loved when he got angry because she got to watch the vein on his neck pulsate. “What sarcasm?” she asked faking innocence. Mr. Popper let out a breath and calmly looked at London. “Just sit down” He said exasperated.

Mr. Popper then started going off about some Greek mythology crap that she didn’t give a crap about. Eventually London just tuned out the whole conversation and stared out the window and daydreamed.

London sat through two more periods of being bored to death. And not soon enough it was lunch. London got up just as the bell rang and was the first out of the classroom. Just as she stepped out of the doors she was immediately flanked by Tiffany and Ashley. The three made their way to the cafeteria and made their way to their regular table.

Just as the three sat Matt, Justin and Cara all sat down, Matt was a grade below London and had spiky black hair and grey eyes. Matt and London had dated the year before but they never really hit it off very well they were both to different of people. Justin was about six feet tall with sandy hair and green eyes. He was currently dating Cara who was very shy with red hair that reached to her belly button and ice blue eyes.

All together they were a group of very good looking people. “So you guys going to that party tonight?” Justin asked. Justin was a very frequent party goer. “Yeah I think so” London answered. As you have probably noticed they did not have very interesting conversations. They had nothing to talk about. The group mostly hung out together because they were all the best looking people in their graduating class.

London felt that familiar emptiness in her stomach and excused herself to herself bathroom. She opened the door to the bathroom and looked around the bathroom to make sure no one was there. Once she was positive she was alone she locked the door. She put her bag on the counter and pulled out the bag of drugs. She put a little of the powder on her finger and brought it up to her nose.

She inhaled deeply and the powder went into her system. The familiar feeling of calm washed over her body. London looked at herself in the mirror and felt disgusted. ‘How did I ever become this monster’ she thought. She applied more make up to make sure the bruise on her face was still un-noticeable and made her way out of the bathroom.
