Music blasted in my ears as my hips swayed to the beat. All I could feel were hot bodies pressed against me on the crowded dance floor. As I downed the rest of my drink I could feel the effects of the alcohol kicking in. I struggled to get to the kitchen tripping and wobbling with each step. Once I reached the kitchen I grabbed another beer. I quickly popped off the cap and took a sip as I watched the party in full swing around me. It was the last Saturday night before school started aka the last time to throw a party before were back in that hell hole. Everyone just wanted one more night to just cut loose, I however was trying to forget the worst day of my fucking life.

"Ashlynn! Ashlynn!"
I could hear a vaguely familiar voice calling my name.
"Ashlynn, there you are! I was getting worried when I couldn't find you on the dance floor."
I turned around to see my best friend, Mia looking exhausted and in a state of panic. Overwhelmingly excited to see her I leaped on her and started giggling uncontrollably. Blame it on the alcohol, but I was in a pretty good mood.
"Where's Trenton?" She asked.
" I don't know and I don't give a fuck." I said feeling the anger rise within me, but I wouldn't let it get to me.
"Alright well I think it's time for you to go home", Mia said.
"But I don't wanna go home," I said as I clung to my best friend for support. "I wanna stay and dance and party! It's the last party of the summer!"

"I think you've had a little too much party, I'm taking you home and that's final."

"Fine, mom"

She rolled her eyes as I let her drag me through the house towards the front door when suddenly someone bumped into me spilling the contents of their drink all over my shirt.

"What the fuck? Watch where you're going next time, asshole!" I exclaimed.

As soon as I looked up I knew I fucked up. It was none other than Ethan Black. Our school's notorious bad boy, star basketball player, and ruthless playboy. Every girl wanted him and every guy wanted to be him. He was the most popular guy in school. He took crap from nobody and anyone that had ever challenged him ended up in the hospital. Here I was a mere midget at 5'7 compared to this monster of a boy at 6'4. Also did I mention he's my brother's best friend. My brother, Danny, graduated last year and was off at college but him and Ethan were inseparable last year. Ethan hates me. He's always seen me as Danny's annoying little sister and wouldn't say a word to me when he would come over. I was totally screwed.

Why am I so stupid? Why can't you keep your big ass mouth shut Ashlynn? Well it was a good life. Guess I can say goodbye to finishing high school and going to colle-

"You know, if you really wanted me to get you wet, all you had to do was ask babe"

With a wink and a smirk plastered on his face he walked away. My fear quickly switched to anger. My blood boiled as I shot daggers with my eyes at his retreating body. Did he just call me babe? That cocky son of a bitch! Sure he was hot, but I was one of the few girls who didn't find his "charm" so enticing and I was proud of it. Almost every girl in the school had already fallen for him and I prided myself in not being one of them. In all honestly he disgusted me. With his sleeping around and breaking hearts, I don't think there was a human being I despised more. And he called me babe! He has no right! I was going to murder that little fucke-

"I can see you murdering him with your eyes so let's get you out of here before you decide to do the real thing." Mia said with a chuckle.

And she was so right.
----------------------------------------------
I woke the next morning with a pounding in my head. I tried to sit up but instantly regretted ever trying to move. Where am I? What did I do last night? Just then Mia entered the room.
"Morning Sunshine!!! Or actually should I say afternoon"

"Jesus Christ! There's no need to yell!"
My head hurt like a bitch. I'm never getting drunk again. Mia handed me two aspirins and a bottle of water. I eagerly swallowed the pills so I could get rid of this head ache from hell. Just then my phone vibrated alerting me I had a text. As soon as I read the text all of the sudden all the memories from last night came crashing down on me. Specifically the one that drove me to go on a drinking binge. I started to feel my eyes tearing so I got up to go to the bathroom.

"Hey, I'm gonna take a shower. Can I borrow some clothes Mia?"

"Of course, you know where to find them. I'm gonna go make us some breakfast."

"Okay, thanks Mia!"

I got some clothes and made my way to the bathroom. Once inside I locked the door and stared at myself in the mirror. My hair was a mess, I had makeup smeared all over my face, and I had dark circles under my eyes. I looked like shit. Makes sense since I was crying for hours and then got shitfaced at the party. I knew I had to tell Mia what happened but I just wasn't ready to talk about it. Even thinking about it made me just want to lock myself in my closet and cry till I couldn't anymore.

Once in the shower I let the hot water run down my body, relaxing me. Washing all the makeup off my face I was already beginning to feel refreshed. I'm not gonna let this ruin my senior year. This is my final year and I'm going out with a bang. Say goodbye to the old Ashlynn because the new Ashlynn is here and she doesn't give a shit.
