I was partying with the Vortex Club like normal. It felt weird after Rachel Amber went missing, being the first official Vortex Party of the new school year without that infuriatingly excessive, twee bitch drama queen... I mean but who cares! She's probably partying somewhere in the world, and good riddance.
I get to have some fun now with no one to take my spotlight from me... So, why am I so lonely? I mean I have my minions, I have, I have Nathan. I also have-
"Yo Kate, you actually came to a Vortex Club party?! Congrats!" My attention is directed towards someone I didn't even know was invited here, Kate Marsh. The shy, mousy church girl nearly as bad as Max Caulfield but definitely not a hipster. Hayden was greeting her with a bong in hand while everyone just sorta gawked/stared.
"Yeah, uh, I'm here~" She sounded nervous and I smirked. I'm gonna enjoy this. I nudge Taylor and go to greet our guest.
"Well, if it isn't Katie! I never would've guess you'd actually come... And fashionably late nonetheless~" I announce, rolling my eyes.
"Hi Victoria." Kate says shyly, and it kinda makes me impatient. Look me in the eyes...
"Yo Kate, can I offer you a drink?!" Nathan slides in with some wine at hand. I look from him to the wine bottle and let out a laugh. They both look my way.
"Yeah Kate, drink it~" I say and hear a laugh behind me. I look back at Taylor's face. She looks almost wasted. I lead her to a sit and focus my attentions back on Kate.
"Come on, it is a party!" Nathan insists as the music blears over his voice. I love the tracks he picks out, this song is sweet- I bet even Kate would like it. Kate pushes the bottle away as Nathan cozies up to her side a little. It's so annoying, I nearly want to yank him back.
"Maybe just one sip, do you have a glass?!" She shouts over the music. Nathan looks excited and nods. I know he's pretty blazed right now though. I'm a bit as well, but I still have my wits about me- my Kate loathing wits. I glare at her. She's in the wrong place, like a bunny surrounded by lions or something. I kind of wanna take a picture of this moment. I smile thinking solely of that.
"It's a shame you won't have more, it'll help you relax~" I smile sweetly. I look at Taylor who's already passed out on the couch. I wish she was watching the 'show'. I'll put the little, mousy church girl back in her place... Far, far away from any sort of clubs. Especially mine...
"Say Hello Victoria~" I turn. Logan and Zach smile at me while Logan holds a video camera in my face. I push it away but smile a bit.
"What are you goofballs doing?!" I ask as Zach laughs. Logan pouts a little and lowers the camera. I look at it.
"We thought we'd take a video of everyone at the party, since this camera just happened to be lying around!" Logan said and hold it up again. I smiled and held up my middle finger. That made them laugh. I then pointed to Kate. Logan followed and looked dumb-founded.
"Why don't you interview our newest guest boys?!" I ask and walk off to get a drink. I glance back to see them exactly what I told them to do. I meet Nathan over by the drinks as he pours out another glass of wine for himself. He smiles at me.
"Having fun?" He picks both glasses up and sips from one casually.
"You know it... I can't believe she actually came though!" I smirk but something about Nathan looks serious. I feel kinda unsettled as he glances at what I assume is Kate surrounded by the 'paparazzi'.
"Victoria, you should be nicer to our guest!" He says, smiling pleasantly at me. The unsettled feeling fades and I smile back. I take the bottle as he offers me a glass.
"Nicer? I'm as nice as they come~" I wink and accept the glass. I hesitate for a moment and look back at Kate. She looks like she's having a good time, and that pisses me off. Coming in here, and already grabbing at all MY attention...Nathan chuckles.
"Ha, yeah you are... Hey, a toast! To the 'nice' Victoria~" He grins from ear to ear and I look at him. I nod and pour the red merlot into my glass. I toast him and we drink to it. I wave and watch him head back towards Kate. I watch Courtney dancing with some boy I'll never talk to, and Taylor already tokin' it up again. So much for being wasted...
"Ha, 'nice' Victoria~ Yeah right~" I say to myself and take a sip from my glass. The music seems to get louder and more people are fooling around with that dumb camera Zach and Logan had. I watch Kate, who looks a little... Off?
"Yeeeeeeeeeah!" Someone cheers and I nearly drop the glass seeing her making out with Logan. They go at it for a while. Oh, this is- What the heck?!
"Kate?!" My voice drowns through waves of music as I watch Zachery having his turn. Most people are laughing as she finally makes her way towards Hayden. I put my glass back on the table and walk closer. Nathan grabs my arm.
"Where ya goin?" He asks, swaying a little.
"To see what's wrong..." My voice trails off and I bit my lip. "I mean, this is unusual behavior for that goody-two shoes don't you think? And the camera!" I watch as someone points the camera in Kate's direction. She kisses a few more guys and then seems to fall down. Laughter turns to gasps or screams. Nathan grabs at my arm again.
"I'll take her to the ER!" He sobered up real fast! I look at him suspiciously and then nod.
"Fine, just go!" I say and he pats my shoulder as he rushes over to her. They talk for a bit and then he leads her away through the back entrance.
