[Arabella]
After Pandora took a few drinks, she passed out on her towel. I, being the good best friend I am, tried to pick her up, but since I have no upper body strength I failed.
"Here, I'll take her." Calum said, lifting her up. I guided him to our tent and walked back to where Luke was talking to where he and Michael were talking.
"So, Arabella," Michael began, "Do you drink?"
"Not yet, I haven't gotten to trying-"
"When in Rome..." Michael said, holding out his cup of 7-Up mixed with vodka.
"I've never been to Rome." I laughed.
"It's surprisingly good." Luke said, "I tried it yesterday at the house."
I took the cup and took a sip. Not really my style, but it did taste surprisingly nice.
"Thoughts?" Michael asked as I gave him back the cup.
"It is surprisingly good." I smiled
"Want to try lemonade and vodka?" Michael asked, "I think you'll like that one better."
"When in Rome." I shrugged. Luke offered to go get the drink, since he was just about to go ask for one himself.
"How are you not drunk? That stuff was strong." I asked the blue haired boy.
"I drink a lot at parties. This is like soda for me." he laughed, "At that Sigma party, I probably had eight shots or more."
"Jesus." I laughed. Luke came back and handed me the drink of pink lemonade mixed with vodka. I took a sip and my eyes widened.
"Do you like that one?" Michael asked, laughing at my reaction. I nodded and drank some more of what tasted like Heaven. After a while, Michael went off to talk to Ashton, who was contemplating on what to drink. Luke and I went back to the tent Pandora and I were sharing.
"Calum, Jesus!" Luke laughed, noticing how Pandora's head was awkwardly placed on his crotch and drooling.
"Calm down." Calum laughed as he stroked her hair.
I laughed hysterically and took out my phone to take a picture, "This is hilarious."
"This is really awkward." Luke giggled.
"Not really." Calum shrugged.
"Mate, she's drooling on your crotch."
"Oh, uh..." He nervously laughed. I sat down on my sleeping bag with Luke and we talked to Calum. Sometime later that night we all fell asleep on each other.
Cal, Luke, and I woke up in the morning feeling sick because of the alcohol. The sun hurt our eyes and our heads hurt like never before. Pandora, on the other hand, seemed like a nightmare. Since she had drank more than us, she had terrible nausea, a migrane, much more sensitivity to the light, and was incredibly tired.
"Ashton could you help us take this down?" Luke and I asked as Cal took her to her car.
"Sure." he smiled, absolutely fine. The alcohol didn't seem to affect him, but then again he wasn't favorite for frat president for nothing.
We took down the entire tent and packed it up. We brought everything to Panni's car.
"I'll call you later." Luke said, holding his head.
I flipped my sunglasses down and hugged Luke. I kissed him and got into Pandora's green car.
"Ready Panni?" I asked, getting her keys from the car.
"No." she groaned, "I think I'm gonna be sick."
"Shit." I muttered.
"Just drive. I'll be fine." she said, waving her hand.
I drove off to Kappa Delta and helped her inside. No judgements came from any of our sorority sisters. I helped her on her bed and went back to get some Gatorade. When I came back to our room, she was missing. I eventually found her in the bathroom, vomiting. I held her hair and did my best not to look. Once we were sure she was done vomiting, we went back into our room and closed the curtains on our window since that was making everything worse.
In the afternoon, when everything was better, I decided to do my homework from my classes. I could barely concentrate, but I knew everything was due the next day.
I finished up the last of my Italian homework and went outside to call Luke. I looked out into the cloudy California sky and kept my sunglasses down.
"How are you holding up?" he asked
"My head hurts like a bitch but nothing like puking."
"Lucky." he groaned, "I think I'm gonna hang out in the bathroom with Michael and Calum."
"Is Michael hungover, too?'
"No, he's laughing at me puking and Calum falling asleep."
Michael yelled, "It's hillarious! Wait until you learn to drink more!"
"Shut up, Michael." Luke moaned
"Don't be a little shit." Michael laughed.
"God, my head feels like it's gonna explode."
"Shut up, Luke, don't be such a wimp." he laughed.
"Anyway," Luke said, "There's this new movie coming out next Friday. Do you want to go?"
"Sure." I smiled.
"Okay, I'll call you back later."
"Bye."
"Wait, one thing before I go." he said, sounding as if he were about to vomit.
"Yeah?"
He groaned, "No alcohol that night."
