My Tattoos

The day that ruined everything

××FLASH×BACK××
Loud music pulses in my ears as I laugh and dance with my best friend, Kaylee. Kaylee is tall and conventionally beautiful. She has long blonde hair that is never frizzy. She has bright blue eyes. She has beautiful fair skin and has curves in all the right places. I wouldn't be at this party if it weren't for Kaylee. She convinced me that I need to attend at least one highschool party in order to get 'the total highschool experience'. So now I stand here swaying to the music in a crowded house that reeks of stale beer and sweat.

"V! Kay!" A voice rings out. I turn behind me to see Tina Tucker, one of my best friends, running over.

"Hey Tina!" I smile at her.

"We are playing truth or dare in the kitchen. Wanna come play?" She yells over the pulsing music.

"Of course we do!" Kaylee shouts back, "Let's go!"

Kaylee grabs my hand and pulls me along after her and Tina. We push through the crowd of sweaty bodies. I laugh as Kaylee stumbles while running to the kitchen.

"Kaylee! Don't run! We are wearing heals!" I giggle. We stumble into the kitchen and there is a group of people sitting in a circle on the floor. I watch as our friend who also happens to be my crush, Lucas, looks me up and down. I am wearing a black bodycon dress that shows off my curves nicely. I paired it with a pair of nude heals. My curly, auburn hair is straightened and my makeup is applied perfectly. I went all out tonight.

I blush as he continues to stare. Kaylee and I take our seats in the circle.

"Alright! Rule time!" Tina announces, "I'll start asking then whoever I ask will go next and we will continue on like that," everyone nods and she continues, "Today we have a twist. Everytime you chicken out of answering a question you must remove an article of clothing or take a shot," my eyes go wide. I don't drink and I most certainly don't strip, "You can't ask the same person, the same question more than once. You guys got it?"

Everyone nods and we begin the game. After about an hour Kaylee and I are both shirtless and giggling uncontrollably as Lucas tries to flirt with a girl. He is half naked and drunk; it is quite a sight to see.

Lucas walks back over with a bright red blush, "That was torture," he laughs, "Alright it is my turn... Violet. Truth or dare?"

"Dare," I say with a smile.

"I dare you to kiss the cutest guy in the room," he smirks and all my friends giggle, already knowing who I want to kiss.

I slowly slide across the circle to Lucas. I place my hand on his cheek and then lean forward and kiss him. At first he is surprised but quickly begins to kiss me back. After a moment I pull back to the sound of a camera clicking and a flash pointed in my direction. I look up to see Tina holding her phone.

"Oh I am so posting this," she smirks.

"No! You can't I probably look like a slut! I am half naked," I say standing up. But before I get to her, phones begin buzzing.

"Damn, V, you look hot in this," Kaylee says while staring at her phone. I grab her phone and see a picture of myself. I am pressed into Lucas and am half naked.

"You have to take this down," I say nervously.

"It's too late. Everyone has already seen it," Tina says.

"Oh my god," I pick up my shirt, "I'm gonna leave. You coming Kaylee?"

"Um.. No thanks... I am gonna stay here okay?" She responds hesitantly.

"Sure," I pull on my shirt and walk out of the kitchen. Everyone is staring at me. I pull up the picture on my phone. It has thousands of views. Why does Tina have to be instagram famous?

The comments begin to roll in. Many calling me a slut. I wipe a tear from my eye. I have never been called a slut. I look down at my skin as the words begin to cover my body. I make my way to my car and begin to drive home. By the time I get home, the whole school has seen the picture.

Tina ruined so much for me. After that picture was uploaded people treated me much different and eventually my friends were ashamed to be around me. Rumors began to circulate and now I am the biggest slut in the school. Even though I didn't do anything those rumors said. Tina ruined everything for me. Instead of kind word being etched into my skin, I was covered in rude thoughts. I only had one kind word left. The word 'gorgeous' was written across my stomach. The only problem was that I didn't know who said it.
