The Party ~ Chapter 4

I woke up from a nap to the sound of a doorbell. I'm guessing it was Aspen since she said she would come on Friday. The party would happen at 9:30 and it was 6:35 right now. I let Aspen in still looking like a mess and she greeted me, holding a luggage.

"What's the luggage for?" I asked, dumbfounded.

"Everything you need for this party!" She said enthusiastically.

"Don't make me look like a barbie doll." We walked up to my room where she started to act amused by it. She opened her luggage and I was shocked by how much makeup and girly clothing there is. She took out her beats pill and turned up a song. "Never be like you - Never be like you," she started to jam out doing my makeup and eventually moved on to my outfit. The outfit she picked wasn't that bad. It was a long black and white flannel that reached the back of my knee, a black tank-top on that folded inside of my grey high waist-ed shorts, she also gave me new black doc martens, earrings, and my hair was down and braided from the two strands at the side and tucked it back.

"Is it just me or, you look so hot!" Aspen finally said after this whole thing. To be honest, I didn't actually look that bad. I wanted to thank her but was too embarrassed to do so.

"W-well I guess we should head off now, this whole thing took two two hours, Jesus." I snapped.

"Yes! We should, and I've noticed that Chase has been looking at you a lot, he might have a thing for you." She said flirtatiously. "But be careful, he's a player and I think I really like you as a friend and wouldn't want you to be hurt. After all, I'm one of his close friend and I know him and how he hooks up with many different girls."

"I don't want to fall in love, I've been hurt too many times-" I stopped, realizing what I was saying. I was being too sappy.  Aspen was wearing a light pink dress and her hair in the perfect bun. 

"Oh...OH and by the way, I told Chase to come and pick us up." Aspen smirked.

"I could've driven us."

"Yes! But I wanted Chase to have the hots for you!"

"What the hell? Whatever."

She giggled. Aspen looked at her phone and grabbed my arm to the door.

"You ready?" Aspen asked with a bright smile.

"Uh yeah?" We get out and I saw a silver range rover pull up into the driveway. We get in, Aspen pushed me into the front seat next to Chase and Aspen sat at the back, I'm pretty sure I felt her staring at us the whole time.

I felt Chase look at me from the bottom to the top.

"Sexy." He said.

"Don't." I replied quickly. I felt like I was blushing a little so I looked out the car window. Aspen told me earlier that the party took place at Chase's friend's house, and he was apparently rich so I'm guessing there would be lots of people, and since Chase, the most 'hottest' guy in school is going, that would be double the amount of people.

Once we got in the house I immediately heard loud music and people laughing. Chase opened the door for me, expecting something from me huh? His friend welcomed us to the party and looked like he was drunk already. I was so sure I wouldn't take any drinks or drugs. Just then, a girl ran up to Chase and kissed him, quite passionate too.

"Wanna go upstairs babe?" The blonde girl asked seductively.

"Nah, I'm here with this girl." He said and the girl looked at me ready to scratch my eyes out. I looked at her back with the same look she gave me. We went in, it was already nine and the house was crowded with thirsty teenagers. "Justin Bieber - What Do You mean" the song choice was...something. I sat down on the couch where not many people were because they all were dancing or drinking...or upstairs. I felt so uncomfortable, I never liked parties because of my mom. Three guys walked up to me, one of them sat next to me on my right, the other sat to my left and started touching me, and the other one was whispering in my ear. I smelt the alcohol.

"Hey baby girl. Whatchu doing here alone?" One of them said.

I stood up feeling uncomfortable that one of them is touching me where I don't want them to.

"Actually, I'm not alone, I'm here with some friends."

"Oh well, they might have gone somewhere else. How about we hang out for a bit?" The other guy said.

"Nah, I'm fine." I started to walk away, I needed to find Aspen and I actually trust her. I kept walking until I saw Aspen with another dude making out. What the hell, Aspen? I guess I need to find Chase...but then again, he would probably be with another girl so that's no use and I only really knew two people from this school. I took a look around and sat down near one of the bars, this house even has their personal bar? I thought. The two girls beside me were drunk and offered me a drink.

"Girl! Have a drink, you look stressed and this is a party!" She slurred.

"No, I don't want to get drunk."

"C'mon, have fun! This is a party! Live a little!"

"Can you not?"

"Nope! You literally look like you need to chill, only one drink. One!"

"FINE." I really do give in easily. But I guess it's for people to shut the hell up. 

"Mate! One shot of tequila for this young lady!" 

The bartender handed me the shot glass filled with the alcohol. I took a drink, quick so that I wouldn't taste it. I felt my face burning up and my throat started to burn. Oh no, this is stronger than I thought.

"Whoa! You're a light drinker. Getting drunk after two shots!"

"Urrr." I giggled hysterically.
