Unfashionably Geeky

Chapter 23

UNFASHIONABLY GEEKY

I opened my eyes slightly, the bright sun burning into my eyes in the process. Quickly I shut them and sat up with a loud pounding in my head.

I tried to open my eyes again, but this time not looking directly into the sun.

"What the fuck happened?" I said aloud, not even realising that someone was right beside me laying on the ground.

As I looked down I noticed the person and jumped in shock.

"Umm... Hello?" I asked "who are you?" This person is probably not even remotely conscious I dont even know why I'm asking.

As I looked around once again I finally recognized my surroundings... I'm at the beach.

Slowly I stood up, trying not to anger the pounding in my head. When I finally turned around, my back facing the ocean my eyes widen at the sight.

There was about 50-70 people on the ground some passed out and some too high to even understand what was happening, glitter and paint covering their bodies.

A DJ who is passed out on his DJ table and Chloe sitting in a chair smoking a random substance which I am pretty sure is drugs.

My eyes narrowed when she noticed I was awake. "You" I hissed "what did you do?" My words sharp like a dagger.

She raised an eyebrow and she stared coldly at me. Seconds later she broke out in a sickly sweet smirk.

"Oh, so you don't remember anything? That's quite funny." Her voice sounding very toneless, while I continued to glare at her.

"What didn't you do?" She said smirking. I stared into her cold eyes very confused by what she had said.

I took a few unbalanced steps back, almost tripping over some people who were not yet awake.

I racked my brain trying to remembered at least something that had happened.

"Need a light?" I heard a familiar voice say.

I turned around and saw Chloe behind me holding a cigarette lighter. I hesitated for a moment before sighing and nodding.

She walked forward, a cigarette already in her hand. Swiftly she lit mine and watched as I breathed in the smoke.

I placed the deadly item in my mouth and breathed the smoke in, and breathed it out watching as the smoke was blown away by the ocean breeze.

"So, what does this mean?" Chloe asked.

I turned back towards her, revealing my fiery eyes and playful smirk. "It means I want to forget today." I said gruffly.

I watched Chloes smirk turn into a evil grin, and she pulled out her phone. "Well, lets get this party started then." She laughed into her phone

I stood for a moment, remembering what I could. "Does the poor baby remember now?" Her voice slicing through my thoughts.

I looked back up and met Chloes cold stare with a stony glare. "What exactly happened after you got your phone out?"

"Ohh my darling it's a shame you dont remember the best bit." She turned her head slightly to the side, probably deciding wether or not to tell me.

"Why tell you when I could show you?" She reached for her phone from her pocket and gestured for me to come closer.

Warily I walked over and watched the video she was showing me. Low and behold there I was cigarette in one hand, beer bottle in the other while one guy was suckling on my neck.

"Do you understand now?" She asked, putting her phone away. I nodded backing away slowly. My pounding head was now the last thing on my mind.

Quickly I made a hasty exit. Heading towards the car park, jumping into my car, and starting the engine.

I was relieved to find that my phone had somehow ended up in the passanger seat of my car.

I looked at the time on the radio in my car 10:28am. My eyes widened, it had been more than 24 hours since I was last home, my mom is probably so worried about me.

I pulled over to the side of the road and pulled down the mirror located above the windscreen. My reflection looked like somebody had thrown up glitter on my face.

Breathing out slowly I flipped the mirror back up and reached for my phone.

7 missed calls; 3 from mom, 2 from Hansel, 1 from Jade and 1 from Natalie.

I sighed loudly and threw my phone back down into the passanger seat, resting my head on the steering wheel.

"I'm so stupid" I groaned, what was I thinking! I sat in silence for a few more minutes thinking of how dumb I was before I decided that I should get home to my mom.

When I drove up to my house I cursed loudly when I saw that there were cop cars parked out front, and also Hansel, Natalies and Jades cars as well.

I opened the door cringing at the scene before me.

My mom was an absolute mess she looked like she didn't sleep all night and officers were asking her questions.

Hansel, Natalie and Jade looked worried sick and also being questioned by some officers.

And the other cops were searching the house. When they heard the door open all their eyes locked onto me.

"KERINA" I heard my mom shout, quickly she rushed at me, crashing into me and giving me a massive hug.

"Where have you been young lady." She said sternly "I'm so glad your back" she said suprisingly lovingly considering she seemed angry not even a second ago.

"You seem very conflicted on how to feel" I said stating the obvious.

10 minutes later the cops left after taking my statement. Obviously I made up a lie because 99% of the things that I did were very illegal.

My mom let me go up to my room and get a proper sleep, Jade and Natalie left after the cops, telling me to call them later.

I heard a knock on my bedroom door. "Come in" I called from my bed.

I watched the door slowly open to reveal a very relieved looking boyfriend. "Oh! Hansel, hello."

He walked over to my bed giving me a peck on the cheek. "Kerina, where have you been? I was so worried."

"You heard what I told the cops." I said lying to him, should I have told him the truth? Maybe.

"Kerina, don't lie to me.... I can smell the alcohol on your breath I'm not an idiot I have had enough of it to know. What really happened?"

I sighed from exhaustion and guilt. "Hansel, If I tell you, don't say anything at all until I'm finished."

"I promise."

"Ok..." I went on to explain what I was like at my old school, the drugs, the alcohol, the smoking. I told him about what happened at the beach last night, but not about the kiss with Lance.

"Oh." Was all he had to say.

"Hansel...." I didn't know what to say to him to make it better. I felt like I had deceived him with this version of me, there will always be two versions. Chloe was right deep down I will always be that same party girl.

"I need to go." As he made a hasty exit.

"I agree."
