Chapter 3 : Mouth Lipped Lingo
Gym class went by fast. Yet the rest of the day dragged along. Finally school ended and I headed home to get ready for the big party tonight. Hours past and the thirst for alcohol began to grow. I put on some ripped jeans that fit nice to my curves. A nice black top that rocked more then ACDC in my opinion, and hair done right along with the perfect amount of makeup, I could turn a straight girl into a lucky charms fan.
I was ready finally, after I put on some perfume, spicy with some sweetness mixed in, just like me. I looked in the mirror, perfection at last but instead of seeing myself, my mind drifted to the blond who made me worried all day long. I sighed and left the room heading to my car. I jumped in and I was off to pick up Tom, and ready for a nice soothing drink. I may not be in the partying mood tonight, but I was always in the drinking mood.
The school day was over, and I was sitting in Aiden's truck on my way to a party where I knew noone. I was all dressed up for this. Hair was done right makeup on covering any visible bruises. Lip gloss perfect with a hint of strawberry flavoring. Tonight should be fun, if only Aiden would leave me alone for a minute.
"Where is this anyway?" I asked softly not looking into his eyes. It was soft and gentle so he would not think I was talking back.
"It shouldn't matter. You're with me." He said coldly. He intertwined his free hand with mine and held it painfully tight. I didn't even wince I was so used to it.
"I know I'm glad you're taking me with you, I'm so lucky to have you." I smiled with this, it was the perfect lie. I hate lying, but if it will save me some pain, I have to.
"You don't forget that" He smiled, but said it sternly like a father instilling something important into his kids. That smile made me want to crumble. Crumble like the Berlin Wall, into a thousand pieces where he could never find me.
We finally took a turn down a street lined with cars. The house was huge where all the commotion was coming from. We parked a little ways away. Aiden jumped out and came to my door. Hand in hand, smiles on our faces we made our way into the party, the perfect couple.
The party spot was a nice pick this time. Big house, no parentals, enough teens to fill 2 high schools and an open bar, which at this point was the only thing that mattered. I made my way inside, the bass pulsating through me, I walked across the crowded room which was packed like sardines with drunk dancing teens.
Tom soon disappeared leaving me with only "I'll meet you by the car at 2 or whenever the cops come" and a manly happy grin. I grabbed a drink and sat down in front of the bar guzzling down what was the first of many I planned to drink tonight. Finishing my drink, I grabbed another and peered over at the other end of the room. To my surprise, who should happen to walk through the door?
None other then the baby blue eyed wonder, Spencer Carlin. She was hand in hand with the Super Jockstrap, smiling along with him. He mumbles something into her ear, which only she could understand and her eyes go numb. He lets go of her hand, and she walks in a perfect line to a chair about twenty feet away from me. She sits and looks at him and smiles that famous fake smile. He winks but his eyes send a message that makes my skin crawl. She responds by looking at the floor which she seems to take a sudden interest in. He disappears deeper into the house out of site.
I stare at her, not realizing how obvious I was, she must have felt the presence of my eyes because she looked up quickly. She looked around trying to find the one gazing upon her. I would normally turn away but no, I want to see into those eyes again, and I do as she catches me in the act of staring. A real smile creeps across her face and her eyes dance as she mouths something to me. I mouth back " huh" and she mouths back "Come closer" It is all or nothing now. I get up leaving my drink and make my way to the beauty sitting twenty feet away.
