Playing in the pool

Chapter 4

She really shouldn't have expected anything less from her ragtag band of misfits that she calls friends. These were the women who single handedly covered the entire school with "snow" by putting styrofoam in the ventilation system as their senior prank. So of course when there's a sleepover after graduation, the entire kitchen is covered with alcoholic drinks that she didn't even know existed. She's more confused on where they got all the alcohol than anything else.

"Becs! You made it!" Not long after she's heard the words, she feels strong arms envelope her in a tight embrace.

"Of course I did. We did just graduate and everything, I figured I'd start off being an adult with a bang." Beca responds, breaking away from the hug.

"I just figured you'd be with your girlfriends and celebrating with her in a special way, if you know what I mean." Chloe responds, the slight jealousy in her voice going unnoticed by the brunette.

"Oh, right. I forgot to tell you, we broke up. Like last week." Beca says nonchalantly.

"What?!" Chloe screams indignantly. "Beca! How could you not tell me? I'm your best friend." Chloe says with a small pout at the end.

"We were all busy with graduation and stuff, it kind of just slipped my mind."

"Becs, how can a breakup with a girl you dated for almost a year just slip your mind?"

"I don't know. I mean, I broke up with her. I just wasn't feeling it anymore, you know?"

"Oh, okay. So you're good? No need for comfort?" Chloe asks a little worried.

"Yeah, I'm good. Let's go join the girls and celebrate being high school free." She says with a smirk, leading Chloe to the living room. "I'm going to go get a drink really quick, I'll be right back." Beca says making her way to the kitchen. She grabs a shot glass and pours some tequila in it before throwing it back. She grimaces a little at the burn in her throat, before taking back two more. She puts the shot glass on the counter before pouring herself a glass of absinthe. Going back into the living room, she takes a seat next to Chloe.

"Jesus, Becs, you plan on dying of alcohol poisoning?" Chloe asks when she gets a wiff of the drink.

"Well, knowing you guys, I'm going to need to be drunk in order to take part in any of tonight's activities." Beca replies, taking a sip of her drink.

"Well, that's definitely true since we decided on a game of spin the bottle truth or dare while you were gone." Chloe says with a small smirk.

"Of course you guys did." Beca says, chugging half of her drink in hopes of getting drunk enough for the torture that's soon to come. The girls had done this many times, especially after finding out Beca had a little "friend" where most girls don't. She's sure it'll be worse this time around, now that Fat Amy knew of her crush on her red headed best friend. She'd found out when she walked in on Beca pleasuring herself to Chloe. After that, Beca learned two things; lock the door and no matter how much you have to fight, don't moan the name of the person you're thinking about.

"Becs, come on get in the circle." Chloe's voice snaps her back to the present. She shakes her head at the scarring memory with a faint blush, and moves into the spot next to Chloe.

"Okay pitches, since we're all adults now, no holding back with the questions or dares. We're not kids anymore so anything goes." Amy states, setting the bottle in the middle of the circle.

"Um, Amy, in case you can't remember there was never any restrictions on this game. I mean, you dared Stacie to call nine one one and try and have phone sex with an officer." Beca says, taking another drink from her cup.
