A Little Party Never Killed Nobody

The rest of the day went by rather quick and it involved a lot of Karma briefing me on our mission. She basically was telling me how to be gay. Granted I've never been with a girl, I'm pretty sure I knew how to do gay right.

The party started at nine but Karma insisted we come at ten to make an entrance. I told her nobody would notice but she didn't care, she made me take the dirty city bus at night with her to Harvey's house. So with her in her floral dress and me in my "dykey" plaid shirt and jeans we took the half hour ride to Harvey's house. It went pretty smooth until some homeless guy called us Ellen and Portia before he got off.

"You see its working." Karma had to point out.

"My question is how does he even know who they are?"

We got off the bus and walked a block until we finally reached our destination. Harvey's house was two stories high but it packed at least a hundred kids in there. There were lights flashing from the windows and a Bebe Rexha song blasting from inside.

How his neighbor's haven't murdered him yet baffles me because this is how every one of his parties supposedly went. Then again Shane had the ability to charm the pants off of anyone and this is including half the baseball team. Even if they won't admit it.

The door was wide open when we got there and it was like nothing I have ever seen before. People were making out everywhere. On every piece of furniture some guy was taking body shots off of some girl and people were dancing on top of tables.

"Karma are you sure this is a good idea?" I spoke over the music.

"Yes just follow my lead." She grabbed my hand and walked to the middle of the house.

"Party's here!" She screamed while waving her hand in the air.

Everyone looked at her but said nothing. Some guy in the corner yelled "What are you Snooki circa 2009?" and everyone laughed.

Karma turned a bright shade of red and hauled me to the back of the room.

"Cheer up, Snooki is everyone's favorite." I said as I folded my arms.

"Okay plan B, find Shane Harvey." She said looking around the room.

"Ooo I can see his quiff from here. Let's go." She dragged me outside. Shane was leaning on the fence talking to Duke, it was weird it was like they were flirting. But Shane was gay and pretty promiscuous so I'm not surprised if he flirted with every guy he knew.

"Excuse me Duke, we need to speak with Shane real quick." Karma said as she literally put herself between Shane and him.

"Ugh. Sure, I better get back to Reagan anyway. I'll see you around Shane." He said awkwardly as he left.

My heart stopped when he said her name. Maybe this is my chance to speak to her. I saw her on the other side of the yard talking to a few other kids. She had a bottle of beer in one hand and a cigarette in the other. Smoking is a terrible habit but damn did she look good.

She wore a black leather jacket, white v-neck, skinny jeans and classic vans. She had side cornrows in her hair leaving the rest of it straight. She looked beautiful but that was an understatement. After another puff of her cig, she threw to the floor, stomped on it and I saw her leave hand in hand with Duke.

"So Shane you owe me a favor for doing your history homework." Karma said.

"Ughh right, isn't inviting you here enough." Shane said all sassy.

"I want you to nominate me and my girlfriend for Homecoming queens." She said as she kissed my hand.

I gasped and coughed a bit. I never expected this.

"What? Are you guys are a couple? I knew it! I needed some lesbian energy in my life. This is so exciting!" Shane said clapping while jumping up and down.

"What the fuck are you talking about Karma. I never agreed to this." I whispered to her.

"Just go with it." She replied.

Shane took off and gabbed a microphone that was directly connected to the speakers via Bluetooth. He got up on the patio table and called for everyone's attention.

"Ladies and Gentleman this year at Hester High we will make history. Our school is about being different and in these modern times its mandatory that we catch up by nominating the school's first LESBIAN HOMECOMING QUEENS!" He shouted into the microphone.

Everyone started to scream and cheer. Multiple people were yelling "Who?", "Who is it?"

"Yes tonight we are blessed to be in the presence of these two goddesses. I present to you our next queens, Karma Ashcroft and Emily Rodentfeld!" He pointed at us.

Everyone cheered and started chanting "Karmily"

At this point I don't know what's worse. The fact that I've taken classes with this guy since sixth grade and he can't remember my name or the fact that he put the word rodent in my last name.

Everyone started crowding around us, telling us to kiss. Karma loved the attention but I couldn't do it. I ran pass the crowd through the house.

I could hear Shane say "Uh-oh one of our Queens has a bit of stage fright at the moment. But at least we have Karma." And everyone cheered again.

I ran to the front of his house and sat at a bench that was placed there. I could feel the tears fall freely down my cheek. I wiped them away aggressively.

"Are you okay?"

I turned around to see my fantasy crush standing right behind me.
