Amy was on her way to another party on a Friday night and she was listening to her voicemail while driving. She played the one that Shane left a few hours ago.
"Hey Aims, this is me reminding you once again that I expect you to be my wing woman tonight at this college frat party because I want to hook up with the cutie I had coffee with last week. His fraternity was hosting and he told me to bring a friend! Also, you're gorgeous without makeup but just dab a bit on because we need to pass the "bouncer". One more thing, wear something white! See ya there. Think of all the hot college girls"
Amy rolls her eyes and ends the voicemail. She is kind of excited because this was going to be her first time going to a frat party. She spent last week trying to forget about her kiss with Karma because she didn't want to cross any lines. Liam was Shane's best friend and besides, she wasn't the type to cause break-ups. Were they even dating? Liam hasn't mentioned Karma at school so she doesn't really know if he's still seeing her.
Amy concluded that tonight was the perfect opportunity to let loose because none of her classmates would be at this party except for Shane. Who knows, maybe she would meet a cute college girl that she liked and ask her out. That much confidence would require a few drinks though.
She spotted the frat house a few feet away and parked her car. Before going in, she looked at herself in the mirror, unsure of the makeup. She had gone for the whole smokey-eyed look that brought out the green in her eyes, a red lipstick that she hoped didn't stain her teeth and beach waved hair that was pushed to one side. She also followed Shane's instructions and wore a white sheer blouse that she tucked into her black skinny jeans.
"Ready as I'll ever be, I guess" she told herself.
She walked out of the car almost stumbling. She wasn't used to wearing high heels but she managed to make it in front of the house's sidewalk. She heard someone call her name and turned to see Shane with a cute boy.
"Aims, this is Logan. Isn't he a cutie?"
"Hi Logan, nice to meet you and thanks for the invite" Amy answers with a small smile.
"Hey, it's really no problem. I'm just happy that you two made it. We're in for a wild night. Glad to see that you're wearing something white. Follow us to Shane's car we have a surprise."
Amy followed them, feeling a bit anxious not knowing what she was walking into. Shane pulls out a paintbrush.
"Let's get our body paint on!" Shane beams and starts unbuttoning a few of Amy's buttons.
Shane tells Amy "I know that you're shy so we won't make you show too much cleavage. Just enough skin that we can paint on."
Amy thanks her lucky stars that Logan is studying arts because the body paint on her arms and chest are pretty sweet. For her face, Amy opted to just painting a white stripe on each cheek.
In front of the house, Shane takes her hand and places something in it. She looks down and it's a fake ID. Shane winks at her and walks towards the bouncer to show his ID.
The door of the house is closed but she can already feel the faint music. Once the bouncer steps aside and opens the door, they are greeted by loud music and mostly darkness. The black lights reveal glowing college students in body paint and white clothing. There is enough light to walk around and she sees that the living room has been turned into a dance floor.
Amy decides that she likes that it's a glow in the dark party because it has a more obscure vibe.
She realizes that she has already lost Shane and Logan but checks her phone and reads the text from Shame: "Sorry I had to step away, Logan's bringing me to his room ;) I'll text you when we're done. Mingle! Find a hottie!"
Amy sighs and walks towards the alcohol. She takes a few shots to loosen up. She spends a while talking to a girl that seems very interested in her but Amy does not reciprocate the interest. She just seems boring. The girl gives up and Amy spots her flirting with another guy. She chuckles to herself and decides to head to the dance floor.
The dance floor is packed with glowing bodies dancing to old school hip hop. She starts to feel the music and realizes that someone is staring at her from across the dance floor. She moves towards the stranger but can't make out her face in the darkness. She looks familiar. The girl takes Amy's hands and places them on her waist and they start dancing. She spins around and starts grinding on Amy. Amy takes the chance and moves her arms up and down the girl's sides enjoying every curve. She is so turned on by all the dancing that it makes her feel dizzy in a good way. She also doesn't miss the ache that she knows all too well. The girl turns around once again but this time leans into Amy. Amy's heart is pounding and she feels the hot breath on her ear.
The girl says "wanna get out of here?"
Amy agrees immediately even more turned on by the stranger's sexy voice.
The girl takes her hand to guide her out of the dance floor. But as soon as they start walking, all the lights of the house suddenly turn on and the music stops playing.
A frat guy screams, "Everyone has to leave NOW! The cops just arrived someone must have made a noise complaint. We didn't get permission from the college to throw this party because we've been on probation. GET THE FUCK OUT NOW PLEASE"
Everyone starts running in all directions. Amy bolts towards the back door, letting go of the girl's hand. She is so nervous about getting caught for underage drinking that she fails to look at the girls face.
She was halfway out the door when she quickly glanced back towards the girl's general direction. The girl waved at her and Amy realized that she hadn't been dancing with a stranger.
Up Next: Homecoming! Liam's date makes an appearance. Amy and Karma finally have an actual conversation. Don't worry there's no drinking involved in the next chapter!
