Just Like Magic (UNEDITED)

Chapter Six

   a/n btw, I was listening to Panic! at the Disco while writing this, and it's the song that Felix hears at the party.  There is a mature scene in this and I will be putting a warning before that in case you are uncomfortable reading it- Enjoy!

        After debating about whether or not to bring my book with me, I left it at home, relying on the method of teleportation to retrieve it in a time of need. Alcohol wasn't a problem for me, and had zero effect on my body. If humans had a drop of what Fae played beer pong with, they'd be dropping like flies; it had specific mixtures of nectar and ambrosia.

        With this in mind, I teleported myself to Emma's "house" so I could avoid talking to Pierce along the way. The house was actually her parent's flat that they owned to rent out for people who were vacationing in the area- but tonight it had been transformed into the ultimate party zone.

        The flat stood at the peak of a secluded hill, which gave you a slight view of the city and suburbs that had been left behind. It was almost like whatever happened here didn't affect the rest of the area like we were in our own dimension due to the distance away from the rest of the city.

          The house itself was glowing with lights from the inside, dotted with silhouettes of a few people dancing to loud music from the inside. A jock had already found a method to scaling the roof and was doing some very intimate things with a doe-eyed cheerleader.

           I decided to avoid the pool and entered through the doorway, surprised that the handle gave way to the interior of the house. Probably so the police don't have to kick the door down due to underage drinking.

            I was greeted by a large room, filled with the school's epitome of athleticism, which was strange because they weren't wearing their normal uniform- varsity jackets and way too small one-size-fits-all cheerleading getups.

           Suddenly self-conscious of my cheerleading uniform I had chosen to wear, I was whisked away by an unknown hand in the crowd, leading me to a bathroom where I ignored the couple who was glaring at me for disturbing them. I changed into an unknown outfit that was handed to me, and my red and gold were thrown into a cardboard box filled way above the brim with similar items.

          I was left in a tight crop top that coincidentally had the words 'HANDS OFF' written in comic book letters, which I found quite ironic because this shirt seemed to be a size smaller than my cheerleading uniform.

           Even though I had been changed into some black short shorts, I was, the allowed to keep two things- my undergarments, because apparently black and lacy was still in, my natural appearance (thank god they didn't find that appalling, because I wouldn't be surprised if they were the ones who forge my signature on the letters of consent forms for plastic surgery if needed), and my pink converse high tops.

I made my way to the pool where I found Ryan, among several of the cheerleaders and football players at Rosemont. Emma was handing out spiked punch in those indestructible red solo cups and I grabbed one, almost knocking down Pierce, who I was surprised made it to the party, seeing he wasn't with the football players. We avoided each other's gaze, him immediately latching tongues with Emma.

I almost tripped over myself racing back to Ryan in order to appear occupied, picking up the scent of beer laced with his breath. I handed him my beer cup and turned my charm up, easily dragging him behind me as we wandered around the pool.

Combined with his levels of intoxication and my magic, I was easily able to maneuver him around the house premises- searching for the princess in question.
