I put on my black playsuit and headed to Jake's house. When I arrived everyone was already there and as soon as I entered the door they all immediately clapped and cheered. I jokingly rolled my eyes and Jake and handed me a drink. "Congratulations."
I smiled. "Thank you." he pulled me in for a hug and after we broke I sat down next to Sid.
She put her arm around me. "I honestly don't know how you put up with Lyndsey, I would have slapped the bitch!"
I laughed. "I know you would."
We all sat and talked between us, looking around the room I came to realise how close we had all become ever since Syd and Dan got together, I wouldn't even consider sitting with Shawn but now he sits with us every break and lunch at school. We decided to order a pizza and after we all finished eating someone rang the doorbell. Shawn was closest to the door so he answered it. He opened the door and immediately sighed. "You're not welcome here."
"I don't care." Lyndsey pushed past Shawn and walked straight into Jake's living room, a bunch of people followed and raided the house for alcohol.
As soon as I saw her, I stood up. "Why can't you mind your own business!"
She ignored what I said. "Since you're having a party I thought I'd bring a few people over, to help you celebrate, you know, since you stole my job."
I crossed my arms. "I didn't steal your job, Naomi chose me over you because you cowardly tried to sabotage me!"
She ignored me again and pushed all the empty cups and bottles off the table. She slammed two shot glasses down on the table. "First one to throw up loses." I thought for a second and then leant to take the glass.
Before I could take it Shawn grabbed my arm and pulled me to one side. "What are you doing?"
I pushed his hand off my arm "I'm taking this shot glass and beating Lyndsey."
"Don't, you can seriously hurt yourself."
I sighed. "You're not my mother!"
"I'm not letting you do this."
I snapped. "Stop telling me what to do!"
He went silent and didn't say anything.
I walked back over to the table and picked up the glass. "You're on bitch."
I looked back at Shawn and he had his head down refusing to watch.
I rolled my eyes. "What are we drinking?"
"Vodka." She replied.
I took a deep breath and some random boy she brought along with her filled up both our glasses for the first shot. She went first and drank the shot in one. I did the same, the vodka made my throat sting but I got it down in one. He filled up the glasses again but this time I went first. I drank the second straight down and she did the same. The third shot was poured and after I downed it. Lyndsey downed hers and then the forth shot was poured. I picked up the fifth shot, it took me slightly longer to drink it but I did. I watched Lyndsey struggle to take her fifth shot. "Struggling are we?" She looked straight at me and downed the shot, I was hoping she would stop, I really don't feel good. I smelt the sixth shot and almost gagged. I hyped myself up and then downed it. I closed my eyes after and Jake had to nudge me so I would put my head back up. Lyndsey downed her sixth and looked completely fine, making me worry, maybe I can't do this. I picked up the seventh shot and looked at it.
"Don't back out now."
I don't know whether it was the adrenaline or seeing her smug face that made me down the seventh shot. Barely able to see straight I waited for her to take the shot, she picked up the glass and pressed it against her lips. She paused for a second and shortly after vomit came shooting out of her mouth landing all over the floor. I screamed and Jake wrapped his arms around me lifting me off the ground slightly. When he put me down I stumbled over to Lyndsey. "Bit of advice, never challenge a brit to a drink off."
The boy who poured our drinks helped her up and walked her out. I then turned back round to the others and everyone cheered. I went to get another drink but I felt it. My mouth started to water and I knew what was going to happen next. "Oh god!"
"What's wrong?" Syd shouted from the other side of the room. I covered my mouth and somehow got to the bathroom without hurting myself, I lifted the toilet lid up and threw the entire contents of my stomach up.

The next thing I remember was waking up half naked with the worst hangover in a bed I didn't recognise. I sat up and immediately had to hold my head, I'm pretty sure it was still spinning. I lifted my head back up and examined the room. I saw a guitar leaning against the wall and the book shelves were full of music CDs.
I tried to read the names of the CDs but the door suddenly opened making me jump. "Morning England!" I looked up and saw Shawn standing by the door holding a glass of orange juice and two pain killers.
