The ten minute ride in the car was horrible. Jess and Aaron were singing horribly to Domino, they were dancing, too.
When we finally stepped out of the car, I sighed in relief.
"Please don't ever sing, ever again! If you do, I will staple both your lips together!" I said, putting my hands up in frustration.
"I bet he'd like that.." Nate said.
I looked at him and gave him a flat look. "Nate, I know we barely met, but I will NOT hesitate to hurt you."
He puts his hands up in surrender.
We all stepped into Andy's house. Every month, Andy and his friends throw great parties. They assign who's hosting the party and then at the end of the year, they will vote on who threw the best and worst parties in that year, and whoever gets voted for the worst parties gets a punishment.
Andy was by the door greeting people. He saw us and waved. "Hey! Looking good, you guys! Well, well. You ever planning on introducing the little lady to me, Jess?"
"I don't think that's my job, Andy. Ask Arianna." she said, slipping past Andy and straight to the alcohol.
"I don't think that's my job either, cus I'm pretty sure they have their own voice and they can say it on their own." I said, crossing my hands over my chest.
"Well someone's cranky." Aaron said.
"Hey, I'm Nate, son of a close friend of Arianna's parents." says Nate, holding a hand out to Andy.
"Yeah, I totally got that..not. Sorry, but complicated stuff is not really my thing. I might just be the only person you know who has a single digit as an IQ." Andy said. It's true though, not to be mean or anything. Now that I look at it, he was wearing a tight, black veil brides t-shirt, showing off his muscles, black jeans, and black chucks. He was completely going goth.
"Well, this is my sister, Lizzie." he pointed to Lizzie, who was trying to hold her laugh.
"Don't worry, you can laugh. I won't tackle you to the ground and start stripping you naked or anything like that. Now that I think about it though, the idea seems appealing." Andy said, giving Lizzie a predator grin. I saw her blush. I guess someone's interested on somebody, I thought.
"Alright, we get it now, Andy. Now can you please stop scaring the girl and let us go inside the actual party? That is what we went here for, you know?" Aaron said.
"Really? I thought you were here cus of me! And here I finally thought you're turning gay! I was gonna go strip you naked in front of guys. You might turn them curved too, you know?" Andy said, and we all laughed except for Aaron, who got Andy on a headlock. They went on like that for a few more minutes before we finally went to the party.
Almost everyone we knew were there. Not surprising thought, because Andy was one of the popular kids at school. There was a huge crowd at the corner of the room. We pushed our way to see what was attracting all the crowd, and that's when I found Jess on a drinking contest with some guys I don't know. I'm not surprised she won thought, cus she's the type of girl that doesn't get knocked down by alcohol really easy.
"Woohoo!! Yeah! You guys are such pansies! You can't even beat a damn girl! I'm pretty sure everyone can take you on." Jess said in front of the guy's face with a laugh. She looked at me. "Arianna! Show 'em what you got!"
"Uhm.. I'm not sure about that. I think I'll pass." I said.
"Oh come on! Don't be such a chicken!" she said.
"I'm not a chicken, Jess." I said.
"Well you're being one right now." she said, examining her nails.
"Ugh! Fine! There, you happy!" I said, slightly annoyed.
"Definitely." she said, grinning creepily.
I stood where Jess stood and picked a drink. All the choices were strong, so I chose Vodka, my favorite. The trickiest part was choosing an opponent. I looked around, my eyes landed at Aaron. I smirked. "Hey, Garcia, come up."
He grinned and said, "Bring it, Thompson. Let's see what you got."
"Oh, you're going down, Garcia, I'll make sure of that." I said.
He stood beside me and chose Vodka, too. Andy came up and explained the rules. Whoever can drink the whole glass without stopping wins. You can't eat lemon or anything of such, until you finish the whole thing. Simple and easy, I thought.
Andy started the timer and we chugged the whole thing down. It burned as it went down my throat. I closed my eyes tightly and tried not to think of it. Vodka was a strong drink without lemon to hold off the taste. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna be wasted than ever after this.
As soon as I finished, I slammed the glass down, beating Aaron by five seconds. Whoops and cheers erupted around the room. My vision blurred and my mind was thinking about some wierd stuff, like running around the yard naked, skinny dippin and all that. That would've been so cool!
Aaron dragged me across the yard. Did I tell you that Andy has a cool tree house and a greenhouse too! Aaron brought me to the greenhouse and next thing I knew, his lips were on mine, making my mind cloudy for a bit, making me respond late. I felt his tongue slip inside my mouth, taking control immediately. It went on for a while and I needed to fill my lungs with air some time soon. I pulled away gasping for breath, Aaron copying my actions. And then the thought registered in my brain: I just kissed my best friend. What the hell did I do?
