Changes and Choices

Dance.

         The drive was supposed to take about twenty minutes. Hayley had informed me that Izzy was the one picking us up, and that she would be here any minute, so we had to get ready as quick as possible.

She was already half dressed and her makeup was done. As for me, I ran towards the closet, got a few items that would make a decent outfit, and started towards the bathroom to get dressed. When I came out, Hayley gave me a disapproving look when she noticed that my clothes weren't as revealing as hers. I just shrugged it off, internally calling her something explicit.

Me and Hales actually looked amazing with our outfits on. Hayley went for a full black outfit that consisted of a daring lacy top, a leather skirt topped off with a large belt and some heels.

While Hayley was showing a lot of skin, I wanted to be more comfortable so that I could actually enjoy the party.  I always tend to worry so much about how I look or how others think of me, and that would hold me back from enjoying myself.

I wore a grey sweatshirt tucked into a simple black skirt, and instead of normal heels I went with thigh length boots.

Hayley had insisted on applying my makeup. She told me that I owed her for calling the yellow floral dress hideous, this morning. I knew she'd hold that against me.

Shaking my head, I just let her do her thing. I told her to go for a more natural look and she pretty much did my everyday makeup. She did add a little bit of eyeshadow and highlighter though. Hayley tried pushing it by trying to apply foundation at first, but I wasn't having it. A full face of makeup was never really my thing and she knew it.

Soon enough, Izzy was knocking on our door, looking as stunning as ever with a rose dress, some white heels and her long hair curled, falling gracefully on her shoulders and reaching just below her waist.

We got into her car and made our way to the party. It wasn't that far away from campus but there was a lot of traffic so the drive took us forty five minutes which frustrated Izzy. At some point, she almost hit another car whilst trying to switch lanes.

It would last all night though, so I don't see why she was in any hurry to get to it. We don't have a curfew anymore and we can stay as long as we want, but staying too long was not what I was planning to do.

When we arrived at the street where the party was at, I could hear the music blasting from inside. The closer we got to the party, the louder it sounded.

I looked over at Hayley who looked as excited as ever. Her excitement was contagious. Even though, I wasn't one for loud noise and sweaty bodies grinding against each other, I wanted to get there as soon as possible and start having fun. I was hoping that I wouldn't regret coming.

Izzy parked right in front of the house and as soon as we got out, she grabbed both our hands and lead us inside. Where, as expected, the smell of alcohol and sweat was dominant, making me scrunch up my nose in disgust.

"Izzy!" I hear a faint voice calling out to her. The voice belongs to a gorgeous blonde with caramel colored eyes. She starts towards Izzy, her arms outstretched, going in for a hug that Izzy returns.

"Thalia! This is my sister Hayley." She says, more like yells so that this Thalia girl can hear her over the music.

"Hi! Nice to meet you." Hayley says and Thalia hugs her.

"You can call me Lia." She says and Hayley nods, a huge smile on her face. "You see that guy over there?" She points towards a tall brown haired boy with chocolate brown eyes, who by the looks of it, is having fun goofing around and playing beer pong with another dark haired boy, this time with sea green eyes. "That's my boyfriend, Liam. That other guy is his best friend, Miles." She finishes.
