I was sitting in my room. It was dark except for the light coming from my laptop. I was wrapped up in a blanket, being that it was the middle of winter. I was typing away on my twitter when my phone lit up. It was Zara.

"Hey Drew!!" Zara basically screamed. Her voice piercing my ears.

"Hey Z" I said as I logged out of twitter. "What's u-"

"Do you have plans tonight?" She asked.

"Well I wa-"

"Good! You're free! Since you just moved here, we are going to go and make friends"

Yes, I just moved to LA. I had lived in New York my whole life. Did my parents know how hard it is to be sixteen and starting a new school and having to make new friends. It isn't all that easy. Luckily I met Zara the first day I moved here. She is my neighbor. We totally don't seem like the girls that would be friends with each other.

"What? No. It's okay. It's almost one anyway. Everything is closed." I knew where she wanted to go.

"Nice Guy is always open late! Don't worry! Dress nice. I'll be over in five minutes!" She hung up. I put my laptop on my desk and got up. I walked over to my closet and picked out a light pink, flowy dress. I put it on and walked into the bathroom and curled my hair.
All of a sudden, Zara opened my bathroom door.

"I'm here! You ready?" She say on the counter. Her black fringe perfectly framing her face. She was wearing a tight dark red dress. Her eyes were heavily lined with black and her lips were a light pink.

"Yah. I think I'm ready to go." I smile slightly.

"What? You're not going out like that!" She grabbed my makeup bag and pulled out a black eyeliner. "Close your eyes." I closed my eyes. She started to do my makeup.

Five minutes later, she finished. I opened my eyes and looked at myself in the mirror. My blue eyes were lined with a thick black line, my lips were dark red, and my face was contoured to the max. I liked it.

"Put on your heels and let's go" Zara said as she jumped down from the counter. I walked into my room and put on a pair of nude heels. I grabbed my phone and my keys.

"I'll drive" I walked out to my car and got in.

Zara and I walked into Nice Guy in arm n arm. She walked straight to the bar and ordered herself a drink. I walked over to a table and sat down. I looked around at the multitude of people dancing and drinking. Zara came over to me and sat down.

"You got to drink. Let go a bit. Don't be suck a good girl, Drew." She started to chug her drink.

"I'm not going to drink, Z. You know I don't drink" I looked at her.

"Fine, than let's go dance." She put her drink down and got up. She pulled me onto the dance floor. The music was blaring. I couldn't hear a thing. I looked over at Zara. She was grinding on some guy. Stupid lightweights.

I started to dance. Letting the music control me. I was dancing alone for a good ten minutes, until I felt arms around me from behind. I turned around suddenly. The guy, was taller than me, he had colored hair and an eyebrow piercing.

"Hi there" He whispered against my ear, his breath smelling highly of alcohol. He started dancing against me.
I tried to pull away, but his grip was too strong.

We danced for a good while, then a blonde guy came up to him. He whispered something to him than walked away.

"Hey, I have to go. But call me sometime." He whispered in my ear as he handed me a piece of paper and walked away. I turned around to see who he was leaving with, but by the time I turned around, he was gone.

I started to look for Zara. God, why did she have to dye her hair black. I was perfectly fine with the bright pink she had a couple days ago. Now I can't find her anywhere. I looked at the semi empty corner, and long behold. There she was, eating some guy's face off. I walked over to her and pulled her off of him. I knew for a fact that she would regret going any further with the guy. She fought back a little when I grabbed her, but then she started to calm down once she knew it was me. I walked back out to my car.

So this is the beginning of what will hopefully be a good story. Just so yall know, I suck at uploading new chapters on time. But this story will be updated based on likes, once it starts to get more views. I know none of you guys probably read this but I just wanted to let yall know the run down.
