Corona

"No, I can't! I have homework to do, I need to pass this test tomorrow. You know I'm not the party type..."

"Corona, you're always doing homework. Why don't you let loose for once? It's not like one assignment is going to kill your grade... it's just one party, and it's Friday for fuck's sake," Grace chuckled, knowing that I would always assume my common position- my room, my bed, my homework.

Grace had always been the fun-loving best friend of mine, really the only real friend that's stuck with me for this long. She's the average grade partier who flirts with all of the guys, and I sit at home doing homework while she goes on her signature extravaganzas. I mean, I'm not a nerd, I just like to keep my grades up. Actually, I'm pretty 'popular' if I'm going to be completely honest, but I'm not really the party/sex with whatever walks type. Well, neither is Grace, really, she's had a boyfriend, Michael, for a few months now, but before him she kind of gave off that vibe. They're practically made for eachother, almost identical. But really, she doesn't look like the 'rocker type' like Michael does, she looks slightly more conservative, not much though.

Honestly, I consider going to the party. I need a break, I need something new. It'll be fun. I've never been the type to disobey my parents or my brother's orders, since I know they want what's best for me. They really give me all I need, so I listen to them. They still don't really trust me, though. One party won't hurt, I can do this.

"Fine, I'll go, but only this once. Never again... even now is something really out of the ordinary for me. You better not ruin this."

"I won't, just come over and I'll help you get ready."

I groan and slam my pencil down and my book closed, propping myself up and off my bed. I get dressed in leggings and a loose black T-shirt, grab my bag and head for downstairs to the door. "Mom, Dad, I'm staying the night at Grace's. I'll text you tomorrow morning or something... I'll be back."

"Okay sweetie, have a good time, don't get in too much trouble," my mom sarcastically replied. Little did she know that may not be possible.

I walk to my car through the cool spring air and get in, starting it up and driving over to Grace's, which was only about 10 minutes away. When I arrive, I walk right into her house (I don't have to knock or anything, I basically live here when I'm not doing homework) and right up into her room after a quick greeting from her parents.

"Hey Grace. Okay, what's going on now?"

"Okay, so I picked out an outfit for you that will be appropriate for this party and I'll do your makeup and hair. That's about it."

She hands me a red dress and I can already tell it's going to be short and revealing, but honestly I don't care. I don't dress like this on a normal basis but I know it's okay sometimes. I close the door to the bathroom and get dressed. I look myself over in the mirror, finally determining that I don't look too bad in this dress. I slip on a silver heart necklace and a silver rhinestone clasp bracelet and slide out of the bathroom into Grace's room. When I walk in she's on her phone, but looks up.

"Holy shit, Corona. You look hot af."

I chuckle, "thanks I guess. So the rest?"

"Oh, right, yeah. Just sit down, I'll get everything ready."

When she's finished, I look at myself in the mirror. My makeup is perfect, my hair is perfectly straightened, I look pretty damn good. My eyeshadow has a slight gold shimmer that doesn't clash with my jewelry but makes my brown eyes pop. Happy with both of our appearences, I slip on a pair of Grace's many heels- red pumps- and we head to the party.

"So who's party are we going to?" I ask, realizing that I forgot to ask.

"One of Michael's friends'. He said his name is... Ash or something? I dunno but yeah, him."

"Okay," I simply reply, and wait for us to reach our destination.
