I see my door fly open and I'm startled by the sudden movement.
"What are you guys going here!?!" I yell at May and Abby, still trying to calm my racing heart.
"2 hours until we leave for the party, so we came to get ready together," Abby said, putting down a bag.
"And to make sure you don't bail on us," May puts down another bag.
"Oh no," I sigh.
"Oh YES!!" Abby yells.
After they force me in the shower, after telling them I was in it this morning, I'm finally left to my thoughts. My mind is still racing from my dream this morning. It was Ezekiel and Frederick and they were arguing over whether Ezekiel was going to take over the throne from Darius. Which confused me. In the beginning, Frederick was all for Ezekiel taking over, but now that the girl's life was threatened, Frederick is backing out.
They just kept going on and on, back and forth about what they were going to do. Finally, Frederick gave up and said "if you want to sacrifice the life of your beloved, then so be it, but I will not stand here just watching you let her die" and stormed out. Pretty dramatic, if you ask me.
A loud banging on the bathroom door disrupts my thoughts. "Hurry up we have to start getting ready!!" May shouts from the other side. I finish in the shower and come out wearing a towel.
They stand outside my bedroom door, as I slip on some comfy clothes for when they do my hair and makeup-May's instructions.
"Okay, sit at your desk and let us do our magic" Abby instructs as I open the door for them.
"Just be gentle with my hair, and go easy on the makeup," I say, sitting down.
"Yeah, yeah, calm down. Such little faith," May sighs.
They blowdry and straighten my hair, letting my light brown locks reach my butt, in contrast to its wavy strands that reach an inch or two shorter. And apply some makeup-to be honest I don't know what they did there, other than it looks good.
And next thing I know, they're handing me clothes. "Put these on!!" Abby exclaims.
I slip on the ripped jeans, feeling them hug my legs and then the top. "Uhh, can I get a shirt with more cloth?" I ask as they turn around to look at me.
"You look great!" Abby claps. I see that they are wearing relativity the same outfit as me, jeans, and a crop top. Ugh, they made us match.
"Yeah, I'd kill to have your body," May sighs. It's true, I'm skinny, but that's not because I try to be, or because I have a fast metabolism, but because I often skip meals. Sometimes I'm too tired from these dreams to take the effort to eat. They just drain me too much sometimes.
By 7:55, we are leaving my house to pick up the guys.
"Whos staying sober tonight?" May asks as we are all in the car.
"MAY!" Abby yells at her.
"What! I'm just asking because I need to know whos responsible. Imma get drunk!"
"I will," Jacob says as Adam sighs.
"Perfect, Abby, he can dive us home" May smiles.
"My parents are out on business for the weekend, we can crash at my house after," Adam suggests.
"Great because if my parents catch me drunk again, I will never see the light of day," May chuckles.

"1...2...3!!" the 4 of us chug the shot of liquor at the same time. There were had to be more than 100 people or so here, all dancing around and drinking, so we follow suit. The alcohol in my system lets me step out of my comfort zone and lets me move without my doubts attacking me.
