''I don't understand why we have to go to this party Iz'' Abby whined as we were getting ready in my room.
''Because I told Logan I'd go.''
''Why do you always have to cover for him?''
''Because he is my brother Abby'' I said with a 'don't even go there' tone. ''And because he'd do the same for me.''
''Isabelle! Austin's here!'' my mother yelled from downstairs. I didn't even hear the door bell, he probably just walked in like always.
''Send him up!'' I shouted back. That's the problem when you live in a big house, everyone's always lazy to climb up to my room which is on the third floor, so we always shout.
Austin was definitely way better dress than the two of us. Overdressed if you ask me but I'm kind of used to it. I however wore a simple blue tight dress to match my eyes, and since it was a party I decided to wear really high white heels. I don't wear them very often but in occasions like this why not. And you know what, I actually look pretty good dress like this.
Logan was driving us there since he had a licence and I didn't. I already think there might be a problem getting back home 'cause I just know he'll get too drunk to drive, but I'll worry about that when it happens. We finally stopped when we reached a huge house, a mansion to be precise. It's really beautiful, truly one of the nicest houses I've ever seen. And the biggest too.
''Can you guys wait outside for a sec I need to talk to Izzy'' Logan said to Abby and Austin so they got out of the car. ''Once again, thank you sis'' he started, ''and I won't be mean tonight so we can leave whenever you want... just not before 1 or 2AM?'' he smiled.
''The things I won't do for you'' I mumbled returning the smile.
''Talk all you want but I know you'll have a good time. You really need to loosen up you know?'' he replied and with that we left the car. We walked to the door and the nearer we got the music became louder and louder. Figures, it was Joey Richter's party after all, he probably invited half of the school and they all came. Logan walked in first and the three of us followed knowing we'd plit up right away. Or not...
''Dude! Finally! What took you so long?'' Joey approached my brother right away handing him a beer.
''What do you think...'' I heard Logan reply probably rolling his eyes as well.
I was about to walk pass them, I had no intention of hanging out with Joey or any of them, but I guess Joey wanted to say hy.
''Isabelle?'' he spread his eyes looking at me almost as if he couldn't believe it was really me.
''Hello Joey'' I replied nicely.
''I... yeah, hy, I'm glad you came'' he said still staring at me and looking confused. I decided to ignore it and walked away with Abby and Austin.
Abby was not a drinker. Well, none of us were, but Austin and I do have a drink every once in a while when we go out or something like that. Even though tonight were on a party she still didn't want to drink and I didn't push it, I respected that. Austin however was already mixing himself a vodka-juice, and realizing that I grabbed a glass to mix myself one too.
''You don't wanna drink that, trust me. That vodka sucks.'' Out of nowhere behind me appeared Joey. I looked at him confused but before I had a chance to say anything he continued. ''Here, try this'' he said pouring a glass of gin, putting a slice of lemon in it and handing it to me.
''Thanks, but I don't drink straight alcohol'' I replied.
''This is not straight alcohol! It has lemon in it'' he smiled actually believing what he was saying. ''Trust me, it's great. Look, I'll take one too.''
''No, really...''
''Please, for me? Just one and I'll leave you alone. And I am the host after all, the rules say you need to have one drink with me.''
''Alright, if that'll shut you up'' I rolled my eyes and the the glass from Joey's hand.
''Bottoms up'' he smile and in one sip we both drank the whole glass. The drink was too strong in my opinion, but it didn't taste as awful as I thought. So when joey suggest another one I didn't refuse. Why? I have no idea. He seemed sweet so I thought what the hell, one more drink won't kill me.
Maybe there would have even been a third drink if Abby didn't pull me aside. She wanted do dance and Austin ditched her 'cause he saw some cute guy and went to introduce himself. So I poured myself a vodka-juice like I intended in the first place and started dancing. We were having and awesome time and Austin soon joined us, bringing both me and him another drink. We talked to people, screwed around, basically we were having a really good time. I never knew these parties could be so good, I've been to a few of them but it was nothing like this. After an hour or so I got really tired and my legs started killing so I had to sit down. Also I was feeling a bit drunk.
''Having fun?'' Joey appeared next to me on the couch out of nowhere.
''Actually, yes'' I replied.
''Good. Now it's time to have another drink with me'' he smiled, and again out of nowhere, pulled a bottle of gin. ''Now I don't have glasses so you're gonna have to drink like this.''
''Okay'' I accepted the bottle, for God knows what reason, I took a pretty large sip. I felt my mouth slightly burning but somehow I didn't care about it. I was experiencing a beautiful dizzy feeling in my head and that's all I'm interested in.
''You know, I had no idea you're this hot'' Joey spoke after a minute or so, placing his hand over my shoulders.
''What?'' I replied not believing what he is saying to me.
''You're one of the hottest girls here! I had no idea you were this good. Maybe I've never notice you before 'cause you're Logan's sister, but now I sure do.''
Even though I was drunk I realized what was going on. Joey Richter is flirting with me. ''Is that why you've been appearing next to me all night?'' I asked smiling.
''Of course. I'm the hottest guy here, so it's only normal that I have the hottest girl next to me'' he replied placing his other hand on my thigh and dangerously leaning in. ''And I always get what I want'' he winked as his lips were an inch away from my, his hand moving higher up my thigh. And yet I did nothing to stop him, all I did was stare at his lips. Slowly he started moving even closer and finally our lips connected. But before we got a chance to turn it into a kiss something interrupted us.
''Joey what the hell?!'' a loud voice made us both pull away from each other and look in front of us. ''Were you trying to kiss my sister?! And you!'' he turned to me now, ''What the hell are you doing letting him feel you up like that?! Get up! Now!''
''I am not getting up!'' I snapped back feeling angry. What gives him the right to yell at me?!
''Isabelle get up or I swear to God I'll drag you out myself'' Logan repeated looking angry like never before.
''Dude relax...'' Joey started but he didn't listen. He just grabbed me by the hand and pulled me up from the couch.
''Logan!'' I screamed in protest as he dragged me out. ''Let go!''
''What is the matter with you?!'' he spoke again when we reached the car. ''Trying to have a one night stand?!''
''What?! I did nothing like that!''
''You didn't because I stopped you! About to make out with Richter, how do you think that would end?''
''I... it would...'' I tried to think of something smart to say but my brain wasn't working. I wasn't able to come up with one normal sentence, and Logan noticed it.
''Are you drunk?'' he asked his expression mad again. When I replied nothing he just placed me in the car, not very nicely might I add, and started driving home.
