Shannix City: Senior Year

Chapter 20: Friday Night Party

Last class of Friday and everyone's psyched because of the 'best' party. We are in our Music Hall for our Music Class. Everyone but me is waiting for the bell to ring to end our last class. I see a couple of my classmates looking at their watches. Looking at the wall clock and asking a couple of my other classmates what time it is. Our teacher was in the midst of giving us a task for us to make when the bell rang.

Everyone cheered and was happy because finally they can go home and prepare for the 'best' party. I'm going but I'll just wear something simple.

"Want me to send you to your dorm room?" Poly placed an arm in my right shoulder. I shoved it away.

"Nope, you go prepare for the 'best' party you were all saying." I made air quotes and he smirked at me.

"You have some air quotes in the word best. Well, I'm telling you it's gonna be the best. Besides we'll all be there except for Dhale who's quite busy. Don't say that we never told you it was the best. We even told Priscilla to meet you so you're gonna be having the night with her. Anyways, I'll be going now. See ya later, princess." He pulled me in to a friendly hug and we both parted ways.

I headed straight to my dorm room and went to my room. I tossed my bag in a soft loveseat. I jumped in my bed. Feeling the need of lying down. I lay down for a couple of minutes and decided to get up.

I took a quick bath and brushed my teeth. I fixed my hair and just let it down. I just used a hair dryer and brushed it. I wanted to make my wavy hair let loose. I went inside my walk-in closet, still wearing my bath robe and picked what I would wear.

I have organized my closet a few days back. Organizing them into different racks of dresses, skirts, pants, tops, jeans, hoodies and other things that has been sorted out already. I've been skimming through a bunch of hoodies but I still haven't decided what color I would wear.

I picked out a black oversized hoodie and black skinny jeans. I opened my shoe closet and pulled out a pair of black Converse sneakers and wore them.

I sat in my dresser and faced the mirror. I put on clear contact lenses and started to use my favorite brow pomade. I put on waterproof mascara and made all of it look natural. I applied a tinted pink lip balm. I looked at myself and I'm ready to go.

I went out of my closet and noticed my phone ringing. I picked it up, not looking at the caller's ID.

(Hello, Cassie. You ready? I'll be getting you in your room in five-thirty. That great? We'll be heading out at six. The Spencer's Mansion are a bit far. I'll get ready.)

"Wait, I'll be there at yours. I'm bored here. I want to watch you get ready."

(If you say so, you're welcomed.)

"Okay, be there in 5." I ended the call.

I quickly grabbed my wallet and my phone and stuffed it in my jean pocket. I locked my door and headed for Trudy's dorm. I knocked and she opened it for me. I looked at her and she was in the midst of curling her snow white hair perfectly.

"Come on in. I still have to prepare. I'm not judging your outfit. Besides no one cares about who's gonna wear." She led me to her room and I went inside her walk in closet and looked at the clothes and shoes scattered everywhere. Her dresser was white but the things in it are messy and unorganized.

"Sorry for the mess. I have been looking for something I could wear for this big party." She was busy doing her makeup and I saw her outfit in her bed. "I'll organize them tomorrow. I'll probably have time for it." She applied a dark eyeshadow to her eyes making it smoky and continued to stroke her brush in her eyes to blend the dark colors.

"I can maybe help you to clean up this mess." I offered but she shook her head as she continued to curl her snow white hair.

After she was done putting them into curls she sprayed it and the curls bounced perfectly. She continued with her makeup. She applied concealer and foundation. She used a beauty blender and started to apply contour and highlighter. After applying them, she used a brow pomade just like mine. She applied mascara and put on fake lashes. She then put on the darkest maroon lipstick I've ever seen.

"Perfect." She said as she studied her face.

"You look beautiful but your natural look is better." I told her honestly.

"Well, I like your natural look, too. But let's hurry up time's ticking." She went out of her closet and I followed her as I closed the closet doors. "Can you go out please? I need to change." I nodded, walked out of her room, and lay on one of her loveseats. After a while she went out of her room and she looked perfectly ready for the party.

"Let's go outside." She went near me as I stood up. She clinged her arms to mine. She locked her door and headed towards the exit. I saw Phisto's car just approaching. We must be in time. He opened his window and saw Poly sitting in the passenger's seat.

"Come on in." Phisto called. We sat inside the back seat and noticed that it was only the four of us here.

"Persephone and Mattheau are into the same car. Zade also went out using her car. By the way, you look good, Trudy. You too, princess." Poly said.

"Thank you." Trudy and I said it at the same time. We both laughed.

"Well, let's go." Phisto stepped on the accelerator and while he was driving all I can see is a blur. Fast driver.

"So what are your expectations in this party?" Phisto asked, fixing his gaze on the road.

"Nothing. Maybe there is alcohol and some people dancing." I replied still looking at the window as if there's something to see.

"You're right but there's more. Just wait and see, princess." Poly turned to me and we stared at each other. I see concern in his eyes. "Do you want me to accompany you while you're at the party. I know Priscilla is gonna be with you but I just want you to be safe." He sincerely said.

"Oh no, don't be like that. I'm sure I'll be fine with Priscilla. Just have fun." I said.

"Okay, we're here." Phisto said and pulled up on the parking lot beside their mansion. A lot of cars are around and we could all hear the music booming.

We went outside the car and walked towards the door. We were opened by Priscilla herself. Priscilla is a redhead. Her beautiful red locks flowed past her waist. She was wearing a dark green dress that shows her perfect curves and she's showing a bit of her cleavage.

"Hello, come inside." She ushered as in and when we were all inside I could see a lot of people dancing with red cups in hand. Some are doing informal things. I was left looking at my surroundings while ny friends scattered around the mansion.

"You must be Cassandra." Priscilla said and I faced her. "I'm-" I cut her off.

"Priscilla Spencer, the best party thrower." I blankly faced her as she smiled at me.

"Oh well, I'll be with you for the night. I assume you're not a party girl based on your outfit." She studied my outfit and looked at me from head to toe. I looked at her from head to toe. She was wearing makeup and she's wearing dark green Loubutins. "C'mon let's grab a drink." She clinged her arms in mine and let me sit in a bar right around the corner. She gave a Martini in a red cup but I just spilled its contents on the floor while she was talking about this party.

"Another Martini please." She says to the bartender. The bartender filled our cups once again with Martini. While she was looking around the party and the people and talking about her party and blah blah blah. I slowly spilled the contents of this red cup in the floor. "Oh my gosh, they're here. Are you good by yourself?" I nodded and she left. I left my cup in the bar counter and roamed around to look for the kitchen. I want to drink water.

I hope I'll be able to survive this crazy party.
