Romeo and Juliet Gone Bad.

16. The Party

Juliet's POV:

"Juliet, it's mandatory for first years, us, to go. Come on, get ready.", Lily told me as she went through my wardrobe.

"Why is it starting so early?", I said with a groan.

"It's not starting now, we're going to grab a bite to eat and then shop around.", she said.

After I'd woken up, Lily had invited herself to my room.

My roommate hadn't showed up yet and it was already two in the afternoon.

Yes, I hadn't eaten yet today and it was two.

Theresa was running late and was only going to be here by tomorrow.

"Here, wear this.", Lily said and threw some clothes my way.

I picked up the clothes and looked at it.

Blue skinny jeans, white tank top, leather jacket and black vans.

I took the stuff and got dressed in the bathroom.

Then I combed out my wild hair and tied it into a high ponytail.

Makeup was just the basics. Mascara, eyeliner and lipgloss.

Lily was sitting and waiting for me on my bed when I came out.

"Great, you're ready, let's get going.", she said and jumped off the bed as soon as she saw me.

I sighed and grabbed my keys and phone before following her out.

The hallways were now overflowing with excited teenagers.

I grimaced at the choice of clothes, among other things, but didn't comment on it.

"That's my room across from yours.", Lily pointed out while I locked up.

"So you'll be close even for me to tell you if I decide I want to kill my roommate?", I joked, but Lily looked at me oddly.

"You know who they are yet?", she asked and shook my head.

"Dude's not here yet. Hopefully they're not a filthy pig or something awful like that.", I told her as we had to push our way through the crowd of kids.

"They'll probably be a slob or something. Bound to be with this being a fitness school and all. Athletes don't have time or enery to waste on cleaning up.", Lily defended.

"We got the better end of the stick though.", she said with a shrug.

"How'd you mean?", I asked curiously as we got to the ground floor.

"The different buildings hold different career choices. Building A is the sportsmen and women. All elite in some sport or another. They are the worst slobs ever.", Lily explained.

We got into my car and I reversed as she continued,

"Building B is the medicine and physiotherapist people. Extremely clean. Almost compulsively. Then there's building C, for the wanna be coaches and referees among us. Loud, obnoxious people they are."

"Then you have us. Building D, for the trainers. Be it personal trainer or professional. We all fall under that category. We're the in betweens. Not too clean, but not too messy. Not too quiet, but too loud either.", she finished.

"Like you said, better end of the stick.", I muttered in agreement.

I drove for a few blocks until I finally found the mall.

"Finally.", I muttered as I found a parking spot near the entrance and parked my car.

We got out and I locked my car, before we walking inside.

The mall was just your basic ass mall. Gigantic, busy and the hangout place of most rich teens.

"First, we'll go to the food court, then we need to get some jewelry.", Lily said and I just nodded.

I knew it would be no use arguing, because she wasn't going to take 'no' for an answer.

I looked around and noticed some people staring at me, but I ignored it.

Maybe I was so pretty that they just had stare at my beauty.

I mentally rolled my eyes at my comment. Since when was I so vain?

Lily decided that she wanted sushi, but since I hated the stuff, I got myself a pizza instead.

What? I love pizza, okay? It was the best food ever.

If there was no other food left on earth, except pizza, I would be fine.

I guess you could see I was addicted to it.

We found ourselves a comfy spot by a nearby table and started to eat our stuff.

"Julie, you have to try this. It's amazing.", Lily said and held out a piece of sushi towards me.

"Eww, no thanks, you can enjoy it yourself.", I said with a disgusted look on my face.

"Suit yourself.", she shrugged and popped it into her mouth.

"How about you have some pizza?", I asked and waved a slice under her nose.

I knew that she hated pizza, just as much as I hated sushi.

"Gross. It's junk food.", she muttered and I could only laugh.

When we were finally done, Lily insisted on us having to buy at least one outfit and one piece of jewelry before we could leave.

That mission took us a good three hours, because Lily wanted to go into every single shop and buy something.

I ended up with some new shorts, tshirts, new vans and converse shoes, leather jacket, sunglasses and two new chokers.

The chokers were all Lily's idea. She thought that they just seemed to complete my look.

I wasn't complaining though, I just wanted out.

Eventually, Lily decided that she'd had enough shopping for one day and we come leave.

Sure, I could've just left her here alone, but I couldn't do that. She was my friend after all.

"Home first, then party.", Lily said excitedly.

"Why do we have to go again?", I groaned, really not wanting to go.

"Because it'll be fun and because you need it after everything.", she said firmly, leaving no room for argument.

We quickly dropped our shopping off at our dorms, before we were off again.

An hour later and we were at the noisiest place on earth.

Okay, so maybe I was exaggerating a little, but it was pretty loud either way.

Well, here goes nothing...
