Messy- Fifth Harmony

25

Friday continued

Lauren's POV

"Thanks for the ice cream, I really needed the pick-me-up after that session with Dr. Sullivan." I reach out and put my keys in the door. With a twist, I push it open and we walk inside. 

"Go get dressed, we've got a huge party to go to in an hour" Dinah exclaims as she runs around the corner, throwing me off guard and I jump. Camila lets out a scream and grabs onto my arms, cowering behind me. Dinah immediately bursts into a roar of laughter and walks to her room once she settles down. 

"Nice to see you again, Ally" I see the girl typing away at her phone and sitting on the couch. "Hey Lauren"

I finish getting ready and walk into the kitchen where the rest of the group is eating the pizza they ordered. Camila is borrowing some of my clothes because she was too lazy to go home and she looks flawless as always. How does she manage to look better in my own clothes than I do?

"Somebody call the Uber, I'll be right back." Dinah says, beginning to walk out of the room. "I'll drive, I don't plan on having anything to drink anyways so why waste our money?" I shrug. "Are you sure? It's one of the biggest parties of the year and you're not planning on drinking?" Mani looks at me with a sour face. "I'm positive, I have too much on my mind and don't want to lose control of it tonight. Now get your prissy ass in the car before I leave you behind."

We arrive at the house, which looks like it is owned by a celebrity, and all walk towards the back through a side gate. The place is massive, complemented by perfectly kept landscaping and an Olympic-sized pool. People are scattered about the property, while there is a more concentrated group inside the home, visible through the glass doors. 

We get some drinks (mine is non-alcoholic of course) and the sun begins to set, causing the sky to turn into a beautiful blend of reds, pinks, and oranges. 

Drink-after-drink, I start to see my friends start to slip into a drunken state. It's starting to get late, probably some time around 2 or 3 am. My friends are surrounded by a huge crowd of people and it's impossible to see what is going on from here, so I walk over to get a better look. After finally maneuvering through the sweaty crowd, I can't help but to laugh at the sight unfolding in front of me.

In the middle of the circle are Dinah and Normani in the middle of what I can only assume to be a dance battle. Next to them are Ally and Camila. Camila is attempting to beatbox, but it sounds like she is spitting on the ground with a special "wicky wicky" thrown into the mix every now and then. Ally is trying to rap along to the said 'beatboxing', however, her words are nearly impossible to understand. The only words I can make out are "bubbles" and "trees".

The crowd around them begin to cheer on the girls even louder when Normani throws herself on the floor and starts spinning. Dinah doesn't look like she was prepared for that and after a second of confusion flashes on her face, she smirks, followed up by her doing the sprinkler. 

Camila immediately stops her noises when her friend busts out with the sprinkler and looks perplexed. "If my friends are this weird, does it mean I'm that weird?" She says to nobody in particular and walks out of the circle, only to run directly into a man standing behind her. Ally begins to make random sounds as she starts looking around to see the crowd thinning around them and the yard returns to its earlier state.
