"When you light a candle, you also cast a shadow."
-Ursula K. Le Guin
'Aw, come on Jessica. Just one drink.' Layla says.
I laugh. 'You know I'm not allowed to drink yet.'
She just smiles at me. I know that smile. She only smiles like that when she has done something.
'What have you done?' I ask while putting my arms over each other.
'I'm just making sure we're going to have a night we won't remember.' she says. I call this laugh her evil laugh, but damn she always has such good ideas when she laughs like this.
'I'm sure about that, but that doesn't mean I can get a drink.'
'And that, bestie, is the reason that I got us fake ID's.' says Layla while showing the fake IDs to me.
'You got to be kidding me! That is so illegal.' I say while trying to hide the IDs.
'And that is why we don't say a word to anyone.'
I look skeptically at her. 'You're out of your mind.'
'Well, that is something I already knew. But that doesn't mean I'm going to let us be sober on your birthday. And for that, what does a year matter?' she says while waving the IDs in front of my nose. 'Come on, let's get wasted.'
'I don't know, Layla. Are you sure?' I ask worriedly.
'Of course, I am. Just have fun for one night alright? Then you can go back to being your boring old self.'
'Hey, I'm not boring!' I say, pretending to be hurt.
'Well, show it then.' She says like she just made some kind of bet.
'Alright, alright. Jesus...' I say, rolling my eyes.
'I'm sorry, he isn't here at the moment.' I laugh as I follow Layla to the bar. Surprisingly enough the bartender doesn't give a second look at the ID's and hands us our drinks.An hour and too many drinks later, we're dancing, laughing about everything. I almost trip over my own feet, when someone catches me. 'Why, thank you, sir. May you have a proper life.' I say. Of course, I'm so drunk, that nothing normal comes out of my mouth.
He laughs. 'Come let's get you to the bar, I will buy you a drink if you tell me everything about you.'
'Aye, yay, captain.' Stumbling I follow him to the bar. After struggling for a while, I finally sit down. 'Well, you are a fine looking boy.' I say. It comes out as some kind of jabber.
He laughs, 'And you're also really beautiful.'
'Aww, you joking boy.' I try to wave it off.
'I'm serious. You have a light in you, that most people don't have.'
'Can I tell you a secret?' He leans forward, almost eager to hear the secret. 'Go ahead.'
I also lean forward and whisper in his ear. 'I have no idea what you're talking about.' I start to giggle. 'You're a silly boy, you know?'
He just looks at me while saying. 'Silly? Are you sure? I'm a lot of things, but never silly.'
'Yeah, you're silly.' I laugh. 'Silly Billy. You're Silly Billy.'He smiles, 'Well, how much as I love that name. You can call me Dreagan Magnus.'
'Yes, Magnimus.' I say, turning circles around in my chair.
'No not Magnimus, Magnus.' He says a little irritated.I pause for a minute and think really hard. 'So you're initials are DM? Like, DM me?' I lean back while laughing and almost fall off my chair. 'You Silly Billy.'
He sighs, 'You know normally, I wouldn't let people talk to me like that, but you're an exception. You're different. I think I like you.'
'Oh no.'I say shocked. 'I'm really boring. Nothing different about me.' I pause for a second. It becomes awfully quiet. 'You know that I'm like, this drunk?' I spread my arms really wide. 'This drunk.'
'I noticed.' He says, smiling very creepily at me. I get the shivers but blame it on the booze. I try to think, but my head is too foggy.All that comes to my mind is this song I heard a couple of years ago. No reasons just a really irritating song.
I'm trying so hard to stay sitting on the chair. When I hear my favorite song. 'This is my jam, come dance with me!' I grab his hand and try to get him to the dance floor. But when I touch him, he looks really confused. Almost in pain. Quickly, I remove my hand from his. 'O, did I hurt you? I'm so sorry.' 'No, no, on the contrary.' He still looks really confused at his hand.
My head screams I need to get out of here. But I'm too drunk to even notice that voice inside my head.
What do you guys think? Hope you like it. It will get better, but this is the intro, so please stay tuned for the rest. Also English is not my native languages, so if I make any mistakes, please tell me. Thanks! Until next time!
