The Couch

Chapter one

It was dark. I had just sent out the last invitation. I wasn't sure if people were going to come, or if they would blow me off like the last time. I was nervous. I was trying to tell myself that I could do it, that I was ready for the final step. But the truth was that I wasn't. I didn't know if I could even do it. I took a deep breath, and opened the door.
"Hey!" Tonya shouted. I was so excited that she came, I could only stubble out a shy "Hi".
I didn't know what to do next. There was so any thoughts buzzing around in my head, I almost screamed. Then the door bell rang just in time before I forgot what I was doing.
"Hope we're not late! " Tom stated as he and a few others creeped past me into the living room. I took a deep breath, and slowly closed the door.
"So girl. What we gonna do now? " Tonya asks curiously.
"Well," I begin to reply, "we could either break out the loud, or we can bust a bottle of my parents liquor. "
"Or both." Kinya says, smirking, slithering into the kitchen to the cabinet.
"That works too. " I say with a sly smile. I knew that now this was it. It was either now or never.
"So, when is everyone expected to get here? " Abby said with wonder as she took the first swig of my moms tequila rose.
" I'm sorry, EVERYONE? " I say with unexpectance. "I thought it was just going to be us. "
" They should be here around 9:00." Kinya answers.
This was not what I was expecting. I was ready for this little bunch, not the entire student body. I took a deep breath, smiled and said "This couldn't be better. "
The night flew by fast
Before I knew it, there was loud music, more alcohol, and a lot of people, some of which I didn't even know. But it was fine, because there was a mellow flow of things, and there was no violence. Yet.
There were flashing lights and bodies rubbing against each other everywhere I looked. It was like a flood of sexual contact that I was unfamiliar with. I knew that something was bound to happen tonight, I just didn't know what.
Then I saw him. Way across the room. He was just standing there looking so clueless and lost. I located the nearest cup of alcohol, took a deep breath, and began tiptoeing in his direction. More and more chills creeped up my spine as I gradually got closer to him. I could smell his clone now.
"Hey! " I said to him shyly. He just stood there, staring at me like a deer in head lights.
" H-hey." he said looking at his empty cup. " My name is Tyler. "
"Hi" I responded. "My name is Charlotte. " I though that he already knew my name. I guess I thought wrong...
