Summer of Freedom

Party Part 1

"So what do you think?"I ask my friends. I twirl around in this really pretty purple chiffon dress.

"Hmm. I think that the dress will look better on Emma." Says Mady."And that cream strapless lace top will look better on you."

I stop twirling."I love that you are so open and blunt but, gosh why don't you be a bitch." We all stare at each other, then burst out laughing.

"Okay. I'll try on that cream dress." I say and turn around and walk into my closet.

When I'm done were all dressed and about to leave for the party when the doorbell rings. There is Lara-Ann dressed for a party.

"Hey girls. You ready cause I am. Oh maybe I can drive. You know so you guys can take a break. We could take my new jeep?" She rants off.

"We're taking the limo." I say and push pass her and walk to the elevator. By the click clacking of heals behind me, the girls are following me.

When we get to the limo. Lara-Ann pushes pass me and gets in first.

"It's like she's never even been in a limo before." I hear Mady say Cassie.

"Probably hasn't." I say.

I get the door that the driver has waiting for me and climb in. I see Lara-Ann stuffing her face with the high calorie junk food that the limo has. Gross. I take a strawberry-guanabana Glaceau Vitamin Water and take little sips.

Once we started driving I turned to face my girls."So what are the rules about partying?" I ask.

"You have rules?" Lara-Ann asks.

"Yes and if you ever want Lily to like you, you must master the party rules first." Mady says back. That is a reason she is my second in command.

"Okay so the rules are: No drugs, no smoking, don't drink beer, any other drink is okay, only do up to 3 shots so you are not drunk on your ass, don't leave the party with anyone other then us, try not to get separated, no one night stands, because we don't you pregnant or have any STD." Emma says.

"That everything?" Lara-Ann asks.

I go over them in my head. "Yep that's everything."

"But-" I don't let her finish.

"If you want to be part of us then no but's" I say.

She's quite for the rest of the ride. We pull up at a beautiful three story modern looking house. There's a long line of cars and limos already their.

"Who invited you guys to this party?" Lara-Ann asks.

"That cute waiter Caleb at Basil's Bar and Bistro." Emma says for me.

"Stop." I say. I turn around to face them."I need to make a quick dress check. So side by side." They do that.

"Lets see." Emma is wearing a that purple chiffon strapless dress, Mady is wearing a grey silk tight spaghetti strapped dress, with a broach on the side with a little sash pinned to it, Cassie is wearing a spaghetti strapped white dress with a ruched sweetheart neckline with an A-line flow bottom, and Lara-Ann is wearing a gold sequin dress separated by a peach/cream color with cream tutu bottom. I make notes of everyone's dresses.

"Everyone looks perfect." I say. They all beam."Now let's go in side and rock this party." They all scream in agreement.

"Names?" Some dude ask's at the door.

"Lily-Grace, Emma, Cassie, Mady, and Lara-Ann." I say getting a bit frustrated.

"I only see the first four." he says.

"Well..." I try to come up with a good explanation.

"Is she your plus one?" He asks.

"Yes." I say then we all push past him. The further we went inside the louder it got. I look around, I saw a dance floor, bar, and seating area.

"Okay girls meet back here at exactly 12:00." I say. They all nod and we separate. Lara-Ann follows me. To be honest, she's not half bad, annoying sometimes, if only she had more designer clothes and didn't keep trying to take me from my friends, she would fit right in. But I could work on that.

I grab two cups and pour some margarita mix and tequila into them and mix them up. I hand one to Lara-Ann."Here. Try it, it's amazing."

She nods and takes a sip. "Why are you being so nice to me?" She asks.

I hesitant before answering."I guess because maybe that your here then, then maybe you could learn to fit in with us." I answer looking into my drink.

"Thanks Lily-Grace. It means a lot."She says. I nod and walk off to look for some of my friends.

I see Mady dancing with some dude. Cassie is doing shots and Emma is trying to stop her from going over her limit. I role my eyes at them. Honestly I really don't care about the limit. It just seemed like the best thing to make me seem more alpha. I keep walking. I end up back at the bar. I take a seat and fix myself another margarita.

Just when I'm about to take a sip, hands cover my eyes."Guess who?"
