"okay," ian pulled two outfits out of my closest. "which one?" he held a red silk dress and a yellow skirt with a black crop top.
"ummm, crop top!" i snatched it from him and hurried to my bathroom to put it on. i grabbed some fish nets to finish off the look and pulled on my doc. martins.
"how do i look? fabulous?" i dramatically walked out of the bathroom and did a little spin.
"definitely fabulous!" he grabbed my hand and dragged me to his car. my hair and make-up were already done.
he gave me the aux so i put on welcome to chilis by 99 neighbors. (definitely a bop) i rapped all the parts perfectly which amazed ian for some reason.
"damn girl! didn't know you could rap!?" i shrugged and smiled putting on some omar apollo.
we finally arrived to the party and i became really nervous. i guess i was drinking tonight.
"remember ian," i pointed. "you cannot leave me. alright?"
"alright alright, calm down!" he patted my shoulder then pushed past me. he could be a jerk sometimes.
"hey man! hows it going?" ian did that man handshake thing with someone i didn't really know, and a couple of other guys.
"everyone," ian clapped his hands together. "this is marley!" he jestered his hands towards me and all the boys waved.
"marley this is joba, ciaran, romil and merlyn." i waved to them shyly. i didn't know anyone except ian, simply because i was homeschooled all my life. this also made me really anti-social. ian continued talking with them and it made me feel kind of left out, so i left to get me a drink.
"i like your fit!" some came up behind me while i was trying to fix my drink.
"um thanks?" i turned around and say a blond boy a little taller than me, and a little closer than i'd like.
"whats your name?" he got a little closer.
"marley." i stepped back a little, taking a sip of my drink.
"nice name!" he paused for bit, probably hopping for me to ask him the same question but i wasn't interested. "im jack by the way." he smiled.
"wanna dance?" he grabbed my arm and began to pull me out onto the floor.
"not really." i pushed his hand off of my arm turning to walk back towards ian.
"oh c'mon," he pulled me back towards him, but more forceful than last time.
"i said no!" i shouted. his face faded from a smile and he yanked me towards him, not letting go. i shouted as loud as i could but no one could really hear over the music. before i could yell for help again, i saw jack fall to the floor, a tall dark haired boy towering over him.
"she said no asshole!" jack quickly got back up and started to fight back. but the dark haired boy overpowered him and threw him to the ground, continuously punching him.
"hey man, chill out!" ian ran over along with the other boys and tried to pull him off of jack. he eventually got a grasp of reality and stopped. out of breath, he got up and shoved past the crowd out of the house. i ran after him to tell him thank you but ian stopped me.
"hey let me go!" i pushed his hand off of my shoulder and started towards the door again.
"no, matt seems really pissed right now, let it be."
"who's matt?"
"the guy that was just beating the shit out of jack?!" ian looked at my as if i were dumb. "what happened anyway? are you okay? im sorry i left-" he was starting to ramble.
"ian, im okay. can we just leave?" i asked him, i was more uncomfortable than ever, everyone was starring at us.
"yeah sure."
