Let's Play a Game

Chapter 6: I am turning into a slut

Word count:1477

A bead of sweat formed at the nape of my neck. Lights were flashing everywhere. The room blared with loud music, making you scream if you wanted someone to hear you.  My body was pressed against his as we moved together to the best of the song. It felt so natural, like breathing. I didn't  have to think about it, I didn't second guess myself, I just danced. Somewhere in the back of my foggy mind was a little voice telling me that what I was doing was wrong and I should just go home but I didn't want to. I was having fun and it felt good. I didn't want to stop. How did I end up here?

6 Hours Earlier...

"Again!From the top"  Monica says pressing the replay button. I'm breathing heavily as I get back into starting position. The music starts up as I'm lifted high into the air. I smile brightly at the imaginary audience and stretch out my arms. They throw me up and I tuck back, landing safely into my teammates arms. I front walker into my next position as we start our dance to routine. Our movements were sharp and fierce. I flip my hair in sync with the others. I hear a yelp as I move to my tumbling station. I turn to see what the commotion was about. Nina was on the ground, she had tripped when doing her double back handspring. Monica pauses the music. She towers over Nina. "Why are you one the ground? You are one of my top performers. No mess ups" Monica hisses at Nina as she raises from the ground. "Sorry, won't happen again" it seemed almost like a child talking to their parent. As if Nina respected Monica. I didn't question it. I needed to focus on other things.

Monica rolls her eyes. "Practice over. You're all dismissed" I take breath, finally I needed to get home and do my homework. "Except you Lilly" her voice says sharply. I turn on my heel and walk up to her. "Yes?" I ask wondering what the hell she needed from me.

Hands on her hips she says "Since you're new here, you obviously don't know this but at beginning of every year. The night before the first football game of the season I host a party. You're part of the angels, you're presences is mandatory." I open my mouth to interject "No exceptions- or your off the squad" she says, daring me with her eyes to say anything else. "See you at the party" she exclaims sweetly.

I'm left there stunned. I blink. So now I had to go to this party. It was a Wednesday for crying out loud. I mean I have things to do. Most of the mm include watching Netflix while snuggling in bed with my gigantic teddy bear, but still! That  as besides the point. Oh and now I shave to shave my legs too. Great just great. I grab my gym bag and head back to the girls locker room. Once I'm changed back into my American Eagle jeans and P¡nk sweater I head back to my car that's in the parking lot. Leaning against a car which was not mine but where my car is supposed to be was none other than Julian.

His arms crossed over his chest. His usual smirk stretched over his face. "Hey gorgeous" he calls out me. He was doing it just to annoy me. He knew how much I hated his little pet names for me ."Um hi" I say "Two things. One- what are you doing here and two- where is my car?" I ask.

"One-I'm giving you a ride and two- don't worry about it" I frowned. Where was my car? I mean it was my car. Kinda needed it for getting around and it cost like a lot of money. Julian draped his arm around my shoulders guiding me to the passenger seat. Still confused I sit down inside the car and put on my seat belt. I hear Julian climb inside and turn on the engine. The car starts and we drive in silence for about 30 seconds when I break it.

"What do you want?" I deadpan. He wanted something I'm sure of it. I didn't have to act like his girlfriend inside the car, not now. The only question was what did he want. He gives me a little pout "Can I not give my girlfriend a ride home?" He says playfully. I glare at him. He breaks into a grin. "Julian" I repeat. He sighs dramatically "Fineeee"

"Are you going to the party?" He asks me. "I have to, I mean I'm in the cheer squad and...." I trail off and let the gears click into place. "You knew I would have to go if I was on the cheer squad. You wanted me to go to the party" I say accusingly.

He shrugs "So what if I wanted you to go to the party?" Julian replies nonchalantly. "Why?" I inquire. Julian pulls up to the front of my house. How did he know where I lived? "Nina and Isabelle we'll pick you up at quarter to 8" he says unlocking the door for me. He had to lean over me to do so. I froze. Jheez Lilly get it together. "See you at the party" he says to me.  I get out of the car.

I look myself in the mirror. Oh my lord, I am turning into a slut. I was wearing a simple black dress that was like a second skin. On the hem of either side there were little slits that instead of the dress fabric were lace. Along with this skimpy piece of cloth I wore 6 inch stiletto heels. My hair was in messy waves and finally the little silver locker I always wear. 

A horn honks from outside my house. They were here. I grabbed my purse which contained my phone, some cash, my id and of course an extra pair of flats. (Along with some liquid courage)

Nina is waving at me from the passenger seat. I smile and wave back at her. I climb into the back seat. Nina squeals "Oh, I'm so excited. This is your first Eastdale party!" I laugh lightly. Isabelle hits the gas and is singing loudly along to the music playing. I notice she hadn't said anything to me but I didn't question her.

We pull up to huge 2 story mansion. There were teenagers in the front lawn dancing and drinking. I could see the flashing lifts form out here and the music was so loud there were vibrations in the air. Isabelle parks and walk through the front door together. The music was even louder inside I couldn't really hear what Nina said to me but I just nodded and followed her when she turned away and started walking. Follow her through the house, though at this point it seemed more like a maze. When walk into a small book room.

The music wasn't playing as loudly in here, thank god. I was going to get a headache. On one of the couches sat Monica. She was laughing at something one of the guys on the hockey team had told her. Monica was wearing a white dress that clung to her petite frame tightly, her honey blonde hair curled, it looked almost like she was wearing a halo. She noticed us and stood up from the couch and walked over to us.

"Oh Lilly, you made it!" She chirped. She gave us both a hug. I hesitantly hug her back and let go. She smiles brightly at us. "I'm so glad you're here. Now you're truly part of the angels" what was going on? "Have fun" she says and turns back to the couch.

I look at Nina in confusion. "She's a lot more  relaxed at parties and also I'm pretty sure she's had a few drinks to many. " she explains to me "I know she can be well a bitch at school and practice but she can be really sweet when she wants to be. Especially now that you're apart of the squad" I nod slowly. "I'm going to go get a drink" I tell Nina and head towards the kitchen. There was some couple making out in the corner and a few stoners. I ignored them and poured myself a shot and drink it.  And then I take another one and other one. I felt a little tipsy but I like the buzz I have going on.  I decided I was going to go find Isabelle when I run smack into someone's chest. I take a step back and mumble a sorry. "Lilly?" a voice asks. I look up.
