TW: Some mention of an eating disorder

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kara stares at me in shock and I hold in my giggle. I give in and have to laugh though when her eyeliner drops out of her hand and hits the floor. "YOU DID WHAT WITH THE HOT BOY?!" she practically lunges at me, knocking over my glass. She grabs me by the shoulders "TELL ME EVERYTHING". 

I burst out laughing and push her off me. It's always fun when we sit on the floor when we do our makeup, but it's pretty much a guarantee that Kara is gonna knock over drinks on the ground.

"There's nothing to tell!" I correct her, getting up to grab some paper towels. As I half heartedly clean up the spill I can feel her doubtful eyes on me. "No, really, it was just an ALMOST kiss", I clarify, not able to get a small grin off my face.

 "But I thought you liked Jesse?" Kara is back to her eyeliner, clearly deciding that my love life takes a backseat to her eye makeup. I sit back down and take up my foundation. 

"I don't even know anymore. He walked me home the other day, but when I saw him at work and he kind of ignored me". Kara out down her wand and looks at me.

"Well what do you want to do?"

"I don't know"

Kara grabs her phone and quickly sends off a text. She looks at me and winks, "I got you girl"

I keep putting on my makeup and shrug. Suddenly her phone dings and she checks it "YES! Jesse will be there tonight. You need to wear something hot!!" She jumps up and skips over to our closet. I don't even have to turn around to reject her first suggestion. "No Kara, I will not be wearing lingerie to a college party". She sighs in frustration and then laughs.

"Ok, I have the perfect thing"

I reluctantly turn around and I can't help but gasp. She is holding up the perfect little black dress that would go amazing with my new sparkly heels. I jump up and grab the dress, shimmying it on (yay perfect fit!) and then grab my heels. 

I look in the mirror and I am amazed. "Kara, I look amazing!". She laughs and hands me my glass, refilling it with rum and ginger beer, and then chooses her own outfit. She quickly puts on a light blue dress that hugs her body and shimmers when the light hits it.

"Are you gonna finally hook up with Rhys?" I ask her, as we walk down the driveway of the party house. The party moves onto a new house every couple of weeks and this week it's at a frat house closer to our dorm, so thankfully we can walk. I'm already a little toasted and I'm trying not to stumble. 

Kara blushes and looks down, and I notice that she is succeeding in walking in a straight line. Clearly I was the drunker of the two of us... whoops. "I can't Lex. I just want to get through school and then I'll date hot boys" I sigh and take her hand. "That sucks Kara. I'm sorry" I slur. She pat me on the head and laughed. "Maybe lay off the drinks for a while".

We came up to the front door of the house and go in. The music is pumping and I can feel the bass in my body. That's how I know that I am getting close to wasted. As we stand against the wall I see a familiar face heading toward me. 

I throw a quick look at Kara and see that she is staring at someone on the dance floor. "Hey there Alexis" A voice gets my attention in front of me and I snap back to see Jesse standing there in all his hotness. Damn...

"What?" He asks, looking curious and smug at the same time. I guess I said that out loud... In my drunk haze I decide to go with it and pull him close to whisper in his ear. "I said, DAMN, as in you look fine tonight"
