Part 10- The Alcohol Effect

"I promise that one day I'll be around, I'll keep you safe, I'll keep you sound.."

-Shawn Mendes, "Never Be Alone"

"So, what do we play now?" I asked, rubbing the tears away from all the laughter.

We have been laughing, more like dying, for about 3 minutes after Chris kissed Spencer.

"We can play 'Think or Drink' because I really wanna drink" Chris said.

I look at him confused and so does the rest of the circle.

"What the heck is 'Think of Drink'?" I ask and he rolls his eyes.

"Is a game I play with my cousins. Someone asks a question and the slowest to answer has to take a shot" he says.

"Nice" Spencer says and starts pouring the tequila in the glass shots.

"Let's play!" Harry said, excited.

"I will ask the questions because I am already a little bit drunk" he said, leaving big spaces in between words as if he thought about what he was saying.

"You only took one shot!" Harry said, laughing a little. Shawn lifts up his shoulder.

Now I have no ride home since I know Charlotte is drunk. By the way, where is she? I look back into the party and see her on the couch talking to some guy from our P.E. class. I noticed her lipstick was all smudged and she was barefoot. She was holding her pair of heels on her right hand.

This is what I call, the alcohol effect. You drink so much that you overpass your drink limit and do crazy stuff like kiss a guy, talk to a guy, punch someone, or jump off a roof. The first two were Charlotte and the last ones were mine. Got punched back several times and, had a cast on my left hand for a month.

Chris stands up and moves his chair across me, since there is a small table in the middle of the circle. Shawn stands up and drags his chair closer to the table and places it to my right. Then he plops down on the chair. Harry sits to my left and Spencer sits in a small space in between Shawn and Chris.

I glare at Chris and he glares at me. Harry places a half-filled water bottle in the middle to grab it when one of us has the answer.

"Okay let's start in three, two, one..." Shawn says and hits the table with all his strength only using the tip of his fingers.

"What date is it today?" He asks. I quickly grab the bottle and answer:

"August twenty-two" I said and Shawn points at me. Chris, Spencer, and Harry take a shot.

"What is the color of the sun?" He asks and Harry grabs the bottle before I do and says:

"Yellow"

I groan and take a shot along with Spencer and Chris. Chris isn't doing the bit of effort to grab the bottle. Well, he did say he wanted to get drunk. I guess I can do the same since I get drunk in about 2 more shots.

Live life to the fullest, as I like to say.

"Who is the prettiest girl in...in the school?" Shawn asks and looks at me. I blush and look away. Why is he cute even when he's drunk?

Chris' eyes lit up and he rapidly grabbed the bottle. He pointed the bottle to me and then said:

"Well of course, Ellie" he said.
