Chapter 22

    "Guys, it's a Sunday night. Why would anyone have a party tonight?" I ask the girls the next day. I just came home from work and I stood in the middle of the kitchen eating a yogurt cup. As soon as I walked in the door, they bombarded me with plans for a party tonight.

"It's Columbus Day tomorrow, so that means no class!" Melanie explains with a big smile. I glare at her.

"Remember the last time we went to a party? I was puking behind a shed for crying out loud!" I exclaim and they both giggle. "Not funny!"

"Come on Atlas, it is a bit funny." Erika teases and I darken my glare as much as possible.

"Just get changed, put on some sexy skater boy clothes and let's get fucked up!" Mel says, walking over to me and stealing my yogurt cup.

"Hey! My yogurt!" I cry as she runs away with it.

"You can't have it until you agree to come tonight,"

"Evil, pure evil." I say. "That's my last one and it's vegan!"

She smells it and wrinkles her nose in disgust, "I was thinking something smelled funny. Anyways, come party with us and you'll get it back."

"Fine, just give me back my yogurt cup." I whine with my arms out-stretched.

"Your accent makes your whining hilarious," She said, handing it back to me.

"Well that's not very nice-" I begin but Erika cuts me off.

"Shut up and eat your damn yogurt cup. We got to start getting ready." Erika pretends to say seriously. I scowl at her before finishing it. There were only two spoonfuls left but I'm not the type to waste food, especially if it's as expensive as vegan yogurt.

I shower and change but perhaps not as quickly as the girls wanted me to. I took my time, dreading the fact that I'll be drinking and probably say something stupid. I mean, I practically begged Finn yesterday for another chance. If I could do that sober only god knows what I'll say drunk.

Erika and Melanie explained how Deanna and Finn would be meeting us there. Yet again, another thing that I was not excited for. I don't want to drink in front of Finn again. My heart breaks just looking at him. We've decided to be civil but that doesn't mean my insides will stay civil. Bitterness and heartbreak has lingered inside my chest for weeks now.

I threw on black jeans, a white tee-shirt, my jean jacket and a black beanie. Walking out of my room the girls eye me up and down with approving eyes.

"Just the look I was hoping for, ready to talk to the ladies?" Melanie asks with suggestive eyebrows. I bite back my laugh, if only they knew.

"Mel! It hasn't even been that long since him and Trina broke up." Erika says shaking her head disapprovingly. I watch as her dark curls bounce as she does this and I can't help but admire the beauty in them.

"I'm not looking for any girls tonight," I sigh. It's definitely not a lie. I don't look at guys or girls that way, only Finn.

"Let's go, Atlas. Our cab is outside." Erika says after briefly checking her phone. I nod and the three of us descend to the lobby.

The night air is chilly and I shiver slightly as we walk to the cab waiting for us at the edge of the curb.

"You big baby," Mel teases, taking note of my chilled state.

I rolled my eyes, "You would be too if you lived your whole life in Louisiana."

"Maybe or maybe I just wouldn't be a little bitch." She smirks and I gap at her.
