Beautiful Imperfections

TEN

I couldn't believe I was the main reason why they were all shouting like this and it was getting me sick.
"Eyy eyy calm down."

"Jackson...."

"If she does it I'll burn down this house. It's either he changes it or Ahneeka's house goes down."

"What the fuck man?"

"She's not even your girlfriend so why are you doing all these?"

This was getting too much. I looked at Trevor who was just silent and then I stood up. I walked to the center table where the vodka was and started gulping the vodka. Everyone was silent. I could not do the dare cause of Jackson but if I drink he won't do anything.
"Pearl." Jackson said.
"I'm gonna drink the fifteen shots..... I'm already on my third."

I took another large gulp and then Trevor stood up.
"Stop, stop. Since this game is ruined let's play another."

"How's it ruined? She's drinking already." Ahneeka said.

"Let's change it." Trevor said.

"Yeah." Brad agreed.

"Seven eleven." Janie said out loud and everyone agreed.

Ahneeka said "Then, we'll start with her." She pointed at me. Wow. This girl doesn't like me. Anyways, whatever.

"Okay pick anyone." Janie said to me with a smile.

"Not of thesame sex." Ahneeka said.

"I fucking know." I spat back.

Now I was to pick. I thought of David...nahh...we weren't on good terms. Jackson, even if I was stupid. Brad, nope we were going to makeout. Trevor......Trevor......yes Trevor. I had alot to ask inquire from that jerk.

I had to say something before it would be obvious that I was overthinking.
"Yes, I choose Trevor."

"Wow." Jackson said and I gave him a cold stare. He had caused enough trouble already.

Trevor and I walked into the room and he put on his torch cause the room was meant to be dark. I closed the door behind me and turned to the jerk.

"Why me?"

"Why not you?"

He looked at me. "Stop the mind games and tell me why."

"No one's playing shit with you. I just want to ask some questions."

"Go on."

I went on.

"Why didn't you inform me that it was your birthday? You didn't want me here. That's why you told me to do that with Brad. Like some sort of torment."

"Like you weren't excited."

"No I wasn't. We all saw what it caused."

He shrugged. "We were all playing a game." He checked his time. I checked mine also.We had spent two minutes.

"Okay." I sat down on the floor. I had already given up on him. I got out my phone and realized that they were meant to seize our phones. Oh well, lucky me. I went to Instagram and started scrolling.
"Pearl."

I looked at him. "Yeah?"

"What's this?"

"Giving up that's what it is."

He took a deep breath. "Okay, I wanted you to be here. Last night, I didn't say anything cause I also forgot that it was gonna be my birthday."

"Puff! How won't you remember your own birthday? I'm not believing that."

"Well I've said the truth and I've tried my best."

"Cool story."

He kept quiet for a while then said. "Why are you still with your parents?"

I dropped my phone on my lap. "Why are...."

"You're a grown up and you still live with them and they get you a driver who drives you all around. I mean what happened to uber?"

I was silent and he continued.

"I guess that's why people term you as someone weak cause you are still living the high school life."
He was saying the truth.

"Uh uhm...." I was defenseless. He had the upper hand.

"I advice you move. We've got three minutes." He said looking at his phone prolly checking the time.

"Oh. I....I'll take your advice."

"And I wasn't going to let you do any of them that's why I changed the game. If you want to have sex with Brad it should be by your own will not by some teenage game." He said and I chuckled. Now he wanted to be sincere and I liked that. Seemed like he had a bit of care in him.

"I also thought that the game was sort of childish."
"Ahneeka should have thought of something better but anyways...." He stopped and watched me as I stood up from the floor. I was a bit confused and then he got out a cloth from his pocket. What's on his mind? He walked up to me and used the cloth to wipe off the lipstick on my lips. I stared at him confused and he put the cloth in his pocket.
"You want them to think that we kissed?" I asked impatiently.

He rolled his eyes. " I didn't like the lipstick."

I frowned. "What? Does that even make sense? You're really mannerless and it's really alarming. You should get a therapist or something to help you with.."

He started laughing which got me. I joined him laughing too. Trevor could do some weird shit at times. He was really unbelievable.

"Trevor....."

"It's time." He opened the door and left the room. That was a very funny incident and I found myself laughing too. He gave some deep advices in there and that was surprising. Should I call us friends?

I opened the door with a big smile on my face which made everyone wonder what happened in that room. I took my seat beside Jackson ignoring all the faces and I scanned the room for my next prey. At least, all the piercing eyes would be off me.
"Collins."

Collins stood up and picked Janie. Now everyone wanted to resolve instead of make out. I nodded at her that it'll be fine and she stood up following him. Kelvin took a deep breath and I shook my head at him. "You've gotta give her some slacks."

He smiled at me and I frowned. No bitch. I don't like you yet so don't think we're buddies. He straightened his face and looked away. My frown worked excellently.

Then, my mind went back to Trevor. His words were sincere and caring. He was right. I had to move from my parents latest tomorrow. Maybe I'll stay with Janie till I got a comfortable apartment and Buster had to stop driving me around. I always had this feeling that I was missing out on college life.

Forget the damn parties and all but there was still something lacking which was staying on my own and making my own rules. To be very honest, I would fucking miss my mom. She's been good and supportive. She might even breakdown if I said I was leaving but gee, I'm an adult. She had to take care of that herself. Then as for me, living with Janie wouldn't be bad and leaving my parents would be sad but there's nothing I can do. I made up my mind I was gonna take Trevor's advice.
