Control
Rita Ora's new song blasted over the huge speakers in Anna's huge house in District 12. I started to sing drunkly "I just want to party and b.s!" I scream this into the blonde's ear whose next to me. She giggles, "what's your name?" She slurs to me. "The name is Katniss Everdeen. What about you blondie?"She slurs again "my my name is Madge, but call me Bombquiesha!" I laugh at her, a boy walks by carrying a tray of drinks, and she picks up two. I look at them they're brightly colored, she pushes the green one in my hand. She clanks the little glasses together and said "here's to our friendship!" "Cheers," I mutter. The music changes to a song I faintly remember.
"Omjoshhhh," Madge err, Bombquiesha squeals. "I love Pop That!" Ohh I think it's that song. She grabs my hand and says "let's go dance!" I frown I'm not one to dance no matter how intoxicated I am I wont dance. I shake my head. Madge sighs and goes up to a random boy and starts to grind up on him. I tap my feet to the music loving the beat. A boy with shaggy brown hair comes up to me and says "would you like to dance hot stuff?" I laugh and throw my drink in face. Hahaha creep. He scowls and stalks off in embarrassment.
I look back towards Madge and sees that she's sucking off that random boy's face. "Oh God," I mutter. I walk into the kitchen to get a drink. My eyes roam all over the kitchen until I find what I'm looking for. Ahh there it is, Ciroc! I pick it up wanting to drink it straight from the bottle but I was going to pace myself. I got a cup and filled it to the rim. I take a sip, it smells so good but the taste is okay. All I need it for is to forget all the pain I ever faced. Once I forget life is good. I stand there and drink two cups. I'm on to my third when someone snatches it from my hand.
I look up to find a set of grey eyes full of disappointment. Gale. "Gale give me back my cup," I slur. He shakes his head at me. "No way Catnip, you know you can't handle your liquor." I gasp at him of course I can handle my liquor. I glare at my current boyfriend. "Fuck you Hawthorne! You can't stop me from doing what I want when I want!" I yell this in his face drawing prying eyes from all over the kitchen. I snatch the drink from his hand and take it all as a shot. And to piss Gale off some more I grab a boy passing us and kiss him with urgency. I push the dazed boy away; I stalk off muttering "I'm my own fucking boss."
I go down the steps to the basement still very angry. Who does Gale think he is? Out of all people he should know why I drink, and to stop me? The audacity he has is astronomical! I look around the basement and see a totally different type of party goers. They looked so peaceful and I wonder why until I see the bright pills on the glass table. Ohh I think they're doing drugs, I usually don't like to associate myself with these people. I decide to go upstairs, but being so drunk I'm not so graceful. I trip over my feet and fall onto somebody. He helps me regain my balance and then releases me. He looks at me and laughs "what's so funny?" I try to hiss this at him I but failed miserably.
He stops laughing and answers me "Your face. You were scowling and you're way too pretty to scowl." I scowl at him even more. I huff in annoyance and anger. He chuckles at me. "You know if you're really upset I can give you something to calm you down." My head perks up. Should I accept the offer? God knows what could go wrong with me doing drugs. But I don't care and I really do need to release some stress. I smile at the mysterious boy and nod my head widely like a little kid being offered candy. He reaches into his pocket and takes out a zip lock bag with a million orange pills. He takes out two for me. I grab them and swallow them dry. I couldn't wait for any vodka or soda.
I sit down waiting for the world to transform…..
