I wake up to the most annoying thing in the world. My alarm clock. I roll myself out of bed and do my regular morning routine. Wake up, take a shower, brush teeth, put on makeup, do hair, get dressed. I look in the mirror briefly and decide I look good enough.
Christina only has one class in the morning on Fridays. I planned my classes so that I don't have any on Fridays. I walk out to the kitchen and get my favorite cereal: Lucky Charms. I always eat the cereal part first, then I eat the marshmallows. It looks like Christina already left, so she has the car. I hate when she does this. I could drop her off at campus, then pick her up so I can have the car while she's in class. I would drop her off in my pjs; I don't care. I just want the car while she's gone. Since I don't have the car, I just decide I'll clean up around our apartment and do some homework.
Christina gets home at 11:00. She says we have to go to the mall and that we can get lunch there. I just go along with it because I want a break from my homework.
We arrive at the mall and the first place we go is the food court. She gets some Chinese food while I get a sub. We don't talk much because we are both pretty hungry. I mean, I haven't had anything since breakfast and it's been about four hours. When we are both eating, two guys come up and ask us for our numbers. Christina says she has a boyfriend. I guess she kind of does. I just say I have one too because I don't want to hurt their feelings.
Once we finish, she says we're going to look for party dresses for tonight. I don't really want to go. I might be able to talk her out of it. We go into this store of which I don't catch the name of. We both go over to the dresses. She looks at the more revealing ones, while I look at the less showy ones. She starts collecting some of them and is up to about five right now, I think. She says she going to go try them on. I continue looking, but nothing is really catching my eye. I look for a few more minutes when I find one I like. It's green ,of course, and has green sparkles at the top and is this flowy green lace at the bottom. At the top, it has spaghetti straps. (The thin kind of straps on camisoles and such). I decide I'll try it on.
As I'm walking into the dressing rooms, Christina is waking out. She shows me the dress she picked out. It's a skintight, sparkly, green dress with cutouts on the sides. She would be able to pull it off, but I wouldn't. I show her the dress I picked out and she gets excited I did it myself. I go into a dressing stall thing and change. I like the way it looks on me. It fits me nice. I don't look too long before I decide to get it.
I walk out and pay for it. I find Christina waiting for me over by the shoes. She sees me and we leave. We go to a few more stores before she makes me go to Victoria's Secret. I always feel awkward in here. I think it just with the way I was raised. I wander around before I think I'll get a bra to wear with my dress. They have a deal where if I get 2 bras I can get the second one half off. I do that and get the matching panties that go with it.
I tell Christina that I'm going to go check out. I go to the register and see a pretty good looking guy. He's not as good looking as Four, but he's still hot. I blush a little when it's my turn. I blush even deeper when I set the stuff down on the counter. We don't talk much and I pay and walk away.
I walk to Christina and tell her I'm done. She goes and pays and we leave. We drive home after that.
Once we get home and Christina gets all of her stuff out to get ready, I am starting to regret saying yes to her. I do really like the dress, though. Whatever, I'll do it. Maybe I'll have fun for once. When I usually go to parties I just have a little to drink and stand around.
I just straighten my hair. I then have Christina do my makeup because she's way better at that stuff than me. She does this kind of green smokey eye. Then, she puts on some green lipstick. I look kind of flashy in my dress, shoes, and makeup, but I just want to get this over with. My shoes are just three inch heels; I can't go higher than that.
Christina has her actual party dress on and curled her hair. Her dress has cut outs on the sides so you can see her abdomen sides. She also has on high heeled pumps. I could never wear those.
Before I know it, it's time to go. We walk out to our car and Christina drives there. When we get there, it's around 9:30already. I can hear the music from outside and there are around 20 cars already here. We walk in, and I can smell the alcohol.
"Let's go get some drinks!" She yells over the music.
"Okay, I'll follow you." We walk over to the kitchen.
"Here, try this, Tris." Uriah hands me a green drink and starts giggling. I can already tell he's had quite a few drinks. "Hey, that rhymed!" I just nod my head and look for anyone I know. I spot Marlene, and Christina and I start walking towards her.
"Hey Marlene!"
"Oh, my god. Hey Tris, I haven't seen you in forever!"
"I know right." I look around the room a little. "Have you spotted any hot dudes yet?"
She glances at Uriah then looks around the room. "Not really, how about you?"
"I mean, are you sure you haven't seen anyone?" I say giggling a little. I get drunk pretty fast, considering I'm a lightweight. I'm definitely not drunk yet though.
"Yeah," Christina jumps in. "I'm pretty sure I saw you checking Uriah out."
She blushes slightly and sighs. "Well, I mean, if he said something to me I would do it, but he hasn't ever said anything."
"I'll talk to him," I say winking at her. She laughs a little and thanks me.
I soon run out of my drink since I'm laughing and talking to Marlene and Christina. I go over to the kitchen again to find another drink. I turn a corner and run into something hard. I look in front of me and see Four, of all people. I smile up at him.
"What are you doing here?" I ask.
"Well, I'm best friends with Uriah's older brother, Zeke."
"Oh yeah, I've met him a couple of times. He's just like Uriah."
"Yeah, tell me about it. I've been around them basically my whole life."
I laugh and say, "I met Uriah in one of my classes and we become instant friends."
"Yeah, it was like that with Zeke and me." There's a silence in the conversation, but it's not uncomfortable.
"Well, I was just about to get a drink," I say.
"Okay, I was walking out after getting one. I'll hopefully see you later in the night," he says winking at me.
I smile and nod and walk around him. He walks away and I get a drink. I don't want to drink too much because I have work tomorrow. It sucks, but I work on the weekends. I work at the café on campus. It's boring, but it pays my bills.
After I get my drink, I walk back over to Marlene and Christina.
"Did I see you talking to Four?," asks Marlene.
"Yeah? Is that bad? Does he have a girlfriend?" I'm starting to get worried. It's not like he's that interested in me anyways. I'm no where near as pretty as some of the girls here.
"No, it's just that he never talks to anyone but his close friends. He's always so closed off. He always seems like he's angry about something." That interests me. Why wasn't he like super mad at me when I split coffee on him? I just shrug my shoulders and continue talking with them.
"Guys, let's go dance!," says Christina.
"Okay," me and Marlene say in unison. She sounds much more enthusiastic than me though. We walkover to the "dance floor" which is just the living room with the furniture moved out of the way. I'm not really dancing, I'm just kind of jumping and laughing with my friends. A guy comes over and asks me to dance with him, and I shrug and say sure. I'm dancing with him when my hoe song comes on. Everyone has that one song that makes them dance like that. This one is mine. I start dancing up on this dude I don't even know the name of pretty suggestively. He's dancing up on me too. Even though I'm still a virgin, I do these types of things. After the song is over I tell him I'm going to get a drink.
I didn't think I'd have that good of a time at this party but I am. I walk back over to Christina and Marlene. While we are talking Will, of all people, comes over and starts talking to us.
"Hey guys," he says mostly to Christina.
"Hey Will!" Christina practically yells. "I didn't know you were here!"
"This is the guy Christina likes but won't admit it," I say to Marlene. She starts giggling while Christina gives me a death glare. Will chuckles a little.
"I was wondering if you wanted to go dance with me," Will says to Christina. She nods her head vigorously and goes off with him.
It's just me and Marlene now. We are just talking and making fun of how some girls are practically wearing nothing. We are laughing at a joke Marlene made and Uriah comes over.
"Hey, I wanted to borrow Marlene if that's okay?" Marlene looks at me expectedly and I say,"I don't see why not."
Now I'm standing here all alone. I'm just drinking and looking around. The same dude that I was dancing with comes over.
"Hey, I was wondering if I could get your number. My name's Mathew by the way," he says winking at me. I inwardly groan and give him a fake number. I kind of regret dancing with him. He walks away after that. I quickly run out of my drink and decide to have one more before I leave.
I walk back to the kitchen and I see some people are doing shots. One of the people doing it is Al. He calls me over to do some with them. I go over and decide I'll just have two shots then I'll be done. I do the first one and I'm really feeling it now. I decide that's enough because I do have to work. As I'm walking out of the kitchen, I bump into a wall. The wall is soft at the same time though. I look up and o see that it's Four.
"We're always bumping into each other," he states with a smile.
I smile back at him and say,"it's a good thing I don't have a drink in my hands again." He laughs a little and nods. We just kind of stand there looking at each other then I say, "Well, I have to go find Christina because I have work tomorrow."
"I have to go over lesson plans with Amar, so, I technically have work too."
"Yeah, I work at the on-campus café. I have to be there at like 8:00 in the morning."
"Maybe I'll stop by and see you then," he says winking at me. I blush a little, smile, and look down. He pushes my head back up to look at him and says,"You look good, Tris." I blush even more and say I have to go. I walk over to Christina and find her grinding on Will. I practically pull her off of him and say, "Sorry Will, we have to go."
"It's all good." He turns to Christina and says, "I'll call you tomorrow." And winks at her. She giggles and walks with me. I'm definitely going to have to drive home.
I get Christina buckled into the car and go to the drivers side. I start the car and we drive home. I basically have to do everything for Christina when we get to our apartment. As I'm taking off her dress, I'm hoping she put underwear on. I'm glad to see that she did and I put on her pjs. She would be mad at me in the morning when she wakes up and realizes she slept in her dress. I don't know how it's my fault when she does that, but she always finds a way to turn it on to me. After I have her situated in her bed, I go and get ready for bed. I take off my dress and put my pjs on too. I then go clean my face to get all this makeup off. I look at my clock and see that it's 1:37 in the morning. I'll only get around five and half hours of sleep tonight. The second my head hits the pillow I fall into a dreamless sleep.
I'm sorry. I know it's been a while since I updated. I've had finals and my teachers were jamming all this homework in before the school year ended. It's finally summer break for me now! I'll probably have more time to write and update my stories now. This is also the longest chapter I've written.
