FEST

Chapter 13- Eddie and the Superhero!

When we reached this so called ‘party-of-the year’ I could feel the vibrations and the music blasting in my ears. I immediately recognized it. It was Party Rock Anthem by LAMFAO. I approved the choice of music and started humming the tune.

We went up the steps of the white giant house to reveal a very crowded living room, with sweaty teenagers smashing their bodies against each other. It was like entering a different world. The house was dimly lit. I could see the giant beach at the back side of the house.

People were dressed in beach clothes revealing their oh-so-gorgeous tan which instantly made me conscious of my dress and my pale skin. Gee thanks Tiffany for making me look so out of the place!

As we entered, a guy who looked completely wasted spoke, "Welcome to my humble abode. Oh hey Tiffany..ah I see you have guests. Gree-ee-aa-at. More the merrier”. He hugged Tiffany and gave her a peck on the cheek.

Ooo.. Someone’s getting cozy..

 I wonder how many drinks he has had because the way his body is swinging and his legs are shaking, I think he’s going to throw up.

“Guys, this is Blake.”  Oh so he was the host. He was a tall guy with dirty blond hair and brown colored eyes. His face was almost covered with freckles. He was wearing a loose Nike Tee and some shorts.

We all bid are hi’s and hellos. No one among us tried to strike any conversation. I shifted the weight of my body from my left leg to the right one, waiting for him continue.

“Hmm yeah.So over there is the drinks and stuff, anything you want to eat “. He pointed towards a room in the corner- I suppose a kitchen "and at the back is beach. Call me if you need anything or if you girls decide to go skinny dipping”, he said with a wink. We chuckled.

“Gee Blake. Thanks for the being such a perv in front of my besties. You are clearly drunk right now. I’ll formally introduce you later. Now shuu.", Tiff said, motioning with her hands.

I liked the warm feeling when she said besties. It gave me a feel like yes, I belong some where. Like there is someone who cares about me. Someone who loves me. Someone who will be there when I am in need.

I tugged at the pocket of my dress as we made our way through the room dancing our way. I felt awkward dancing in public but anyway I moved my body lightly. I was never a great dancer. So I just did some basic steps. Playing safe.

Fiona and Ella started commenting on other girls in the party.

“Look. Ew, how can she wear pink shorts with neon green tee. She is looking hideous. I mean come on..."Fiona said, disgust evident on her face.

"Yeah! And look at her shoes. Ridiculous! Is she living under a cave? Those are so outdated.." Ella piped in." Omg!! And look at that silver necklace. It looks so expensive and pretty.."

I could just nod in reply. Plus, I already had that type of necklace. Perks of having rich parents. Anyway, I should gift one to Ella on her birthday, which by the way is coming soon. I smiled. Yes, definitely.

“Alrighty! I am gonna get some drinks, you guys want something?" Tiffany yelled over the music.

"Wine." Fiona yelled back enthusiastically. God my head hurts. Someone is full of energy. "But first I need to find Shane! He told me he will be here too. Where is he?" And the whining begins.

"Beer." Ella muffled. Tiffany gave me a questioning glance.

"I will have coke." I squeaked, probably speaking for the first time in the party. These parties aren't my thing anyway. I would prefer playing Age of Empire. Period.
