Chapter 5:
As I slowly slide down my arm with my phone in my hand, I hear it still go to my moms voicemail, Along with the sound of my heart pounding and my face getting red with heat that traveled through my entire body. I had already ran into Nash and that was hard to contain myself and now Cameron comes.
‘’Hey Zoey What’s up?’’. He asked with the most perfect smile any boy can have.
‘’O nothing much just making a call’’. I replied with a nervous tick in my body.
‘’O ok well I hope I’ll see you tonight at the party right?’’.
‘’Y-yeah of course’’. I stuttered like always.
‘’Awsome see you later Zoe’’. With a wink and a smile he left. I sank.
As I smiled I died inside. As I hit my back lightly against my dorm door like a feather landing on smooth water. I Sat in front of it sinking my head in my hands. Thinking. Thinking of what would happen if I actually dated one of them. Thinking of not the good things that would happen but the wrong that could happen. It’s like I could feel this sudden breathe of life they gave me as I talked to them, But then when I stopped to regain a breathe of air it was then released into this toxic waste of uncertainty. As I got back up from my butt I walked back into my dorm shutting the door behind me with all that’s happened so far with the rest of the night still in front of me.
‘’Hey I’m going to start getting ready for the party do you need any help with your make-up or something?’’. Lox asked with her always so bright smile.
‘’O ok ummmmm I’m good thanks, I’ll start getting ready too’’ I replied.
‘’Ok’’.
As I head to my drawers to pick my outfit out I began to think of all the things that could go wrong tonight. I could get drunk and say something stupid to Cam or Nash, Or something like they both say that they like me or have feelings for me and I would be stuck with a choice to make. Or even worst I pour every emotion I have been feeling for the each of them. As I snap back into the reality that I wish was a dream I went back into picking my outfit. I decided to go with nice denim high waisted shorts and a plain gray crop top with my combat boots and flower crown that followed the shape of my head perfectly. And decided to throw in a nice white cardigan just in case It gets a little chilly. I wore the same outfit for Coachella 2 years ago. I start to get my makeup and hair ready.
*****2 HOURS LATER*****
Me and Lox finally finished getting ready and were making last minute outfit checks. The last thing we needed was to look like hot messes at our first party.
‘’Your outfit is so dope!’’. Lox complimented.
‘’Hahah No Yours is so cute!’’. I argued back.
She wore a nice green dress with weird cutouts on her side and black arm cover ups with holes. And of course her signature ears.
‘’Thanks we should get going’’. She suggested.
As we head out the door I began to think again. Thinking was a daily routine for me. Just thinking of everything that could go wrong. As we walk outside with the frat house looking crowded and music playing loudly my heart only beats faster. We walk in with people greeting us and saying their Hi’s. If only I actually knew each person, But it was good I was meeting new people. As we walk through the frat house with my heart beating faster as we turn each corner in running into Nash and Cam, we see people in the corner playing spin the bottle with laughter that filled most of the air in the party except for the others eating each others faces or the crowd playing beer pong with obnoxious girls.
‘’Hey Mahogany!’’. A boy came surprising her from behind.
‘’Hey Carter! O this is my roommate Zoey’’. She informed.
‘’Well hello their beautiful may I get you a drink?’’ He asked sweetly with a flirtatious attitude.
‘’Hahah No thanks I don’t drink’’ I replied as sweet as I can.
He of course had the sex hair that every girl considers a major plus in a boy. Not to forget the style and snapback that fell behind his head with a strand of hair whipping out in the front. In other words a boy toy.
‘’O come on it’s a party’’ He danced toward me. He was funny ANOTHER plus.
‘’Come on carter.’’ As mahogany took carters arm and ran to the DJ table in the party.
Of course she would run over their. Being a DJ is who she is and good at. Except for the part of just leaving me here with people starting to crowd around me dancing. I spotted a table that had drinks hoping there was non-alcoholic drinks. The last thing I wanted to do was feel intoxicated and look like one of those girl lifting their shirts up at drunk boys yelling. I get to the table and find fruit punch pouring it into my cup and smelling it making sure it didn’t have any alcohol in it. I take a sip from my cup as I feel the juice flow through my throat refreshing and my body loosening and getting less tense. I feel calmer. With no sight of Cam and Nash I start to dance a little in my spot going along with the music that pumped up the party. As I reach for another cup of fruit punch I start to feel my body get loose. Like a sudden rush or wash of refreshing water pouring over me standing in the rain after a hot day.
I start to get this feeling of almost loosing myself. But almost like a nice loosing myself. With no thoughts, no thinking, no contemplating. I go in the crowd of dancing people and begin dancing with random people having fun as I loose myself further in the crowd and music. People jumping forgetting about what their going to do in the next hour or next minute of their lives. Forgetting about their worries, doubts. A crowd that I had fit in for once. A blurry vision of lights, people, music, of the found who were once lost. As I dance I end up tumbling down to my knees loosing consciousness of where I was. But how was this happening?. I was intoxicated. As I stand back up I can barely hold myself among the people dancing to the rhythm of the music. I try to find my way out of the crowd bumping into people. As I spot an opening to find a way out I tumble down finding myself in someone’s arms.
It Was Cam’s.
‘’C-cam ‘’ I said without no conscious.
‘’Z-zoey I’ve been looking for you come on let me take you somewhere’’. He said picking me up taking me in his warm arms.
As we pass rooms in the house he finally finds a room to take me in. He closed the door behind him, Laying me down on a big blue bed with soft sheets. He sat down and rested my body on the bed with my head on his lap. As he brushed hairs off from my face he started to wrap me in his arms warming my cold body up.
‘’What happened Zoey?’’ He asked in a worried emotion.
‘’I-I don’t know I feel s-so cold’’ I shivered.
‘’It’s ok I got you’’. He said pulling me tighter and tighter against his body.
As I begin to loose vision going into sleep. My eyes begin to close as I see glimpse of Cam’s red flannel that was soft. He kissed my forehead, As he saw my eyes close into a sleep.
Into a dream that was not in my sleep but in real life that I had once wished was just a dream. But not anymore.
