Chapter 9: Highs and Lows

Time flew by after Massie had officially been cleared to go to the party. She barely had time to eat and sleep and go to school before it was suddenly noon on Saturday and it was time to start getting ready. It was a good thing she already had the outifit planned out--otherwise she might have missed the party all together.

And what was this spectacular outfit, you may ask? In Massie's opinion, it was just about the most ingenious outfit she had ever put together--including those times she had to improvise when she was in that bet with Claire. Her bra and cute sparkly black little lacy underpants were from Victoria's Secret; they were lacy and high cut but not too disgustingly revealing. The bra was front-fastening, which gave her extra cleavage. She was wearing panty hose-- something about them just made her feel grown-up and unusually hot--with a really, really short, deep purple pleated skirt that had that whole 'bad girl' vibe going on about it. Underneath this skirt she pulled on a longer, white pleated skirt to make it look more modest for when she had to get past her parents. The two skirts, when on top of one another, looked perfectly connected and natural.

On top she wore a simple, perfectly fitted white button-down blouse that was only slightly see-through. On top of this she wore a sweater-vest and cute little tie that was striped purple and silver. In her ears were large sliver hoop earrings, on her wrists silver bangles, and on her feet easy-on-and-off chunky leather boots that came up to about the middle of her calves.

Her makeup was slightly thicker than usual, smokier and sexier, but her parents probably wouldn't notice. Just in case, Massie put on a pair of non-prescription glasses. This finishing touch made her outifit look almost like a super, super cute school uniform.

Her phone buzzed as she recieved outfit options from both Alicia (who was, of course, going with her bf Josh) and Kristen (who was borrowing Cam from Claire for tonight. Not like Claire would notice) and their dates. All of them looked absolutely scrumptious, but her outfit was the best by far. Phase one of Operation High School: Completed. Now for Phase two.

It wasn't long before all of the five teens had snuck past their parents and arrived at the party destination. They could tell they were in the right place by the heavy scent that surrounded the place, the blaring music, and the streaker who ran across the lawn, flashing all his...parts.

Everyone flinched and looked away except for Massie, who convinced herself she would be seeing someone else's soon enough. She might as well get used to the sight.

Immediately after they entered the door, Massie and all her companions were handed plastic cups and bottles of beer. She took hers with a bright smile, taking a sip of the sour-smelling stuff immediately and trying to look like she enjoyed it.

"You guys go ahead to the dance floor or something!" she shouted to her companions over the blaring music. "I have to go to the bathroom really quick. See you in a minute!" They each nodded and headed in the general direction of the music.

Massie headed to the closest unnocuppied bathroom, quickly shutting the door and shedding her long skirt, sweater, and glasses. She shoved them into a small tote bag which she hid in a potted plant next to the toilet. Massie then began fixing her shirt and tie, loosening the noose until the knot was down by her chest and her shirt only had one button in the center holding it together. She tied the bottom in a knot to show off her newly pierced belly button (which her parents didn't know about), and lowered the top so you could see the center of her bra.

Finally satisfied with her appearance, Massie left the bathroom standing tall and proud, attracting a few wolf-whistles on her way out. She immediately headed to the center of the party, a make out couch and a table covered in some random junk. She quickly inspected each one of the boys sitting on the couch and in the surrounding area, coincidentally spotting one of her targets: Chris Abeley. Currently, he was grabbing some girl's ass. Soon enough, she would be in that girl's place.

"Hey Chris!" she called, purposely slurring her words just enough to make her sound drunk. "What're you doin' here?"

"Massie, baby!" he called. A thrill went through her stomach when he said her name. He remembered her! "What're you over here for?"

"What d'ya mean, Chris baby?" she was tingling from head to toe. She was on the perfect track right now to get exactly what she wanted.

"Booze or pot? You don't look like your into any of the heavy stuff." he laughed in a demeaning way, as if she was a child.

"I'm into allllll the heavy stuff, babe! You should know that!"

"Really? What do you do?"

"Uh..." she didn't know what to say. She just pointed, not knowing exactly what she pointed at. She was too busy keeping an eye on Chris's date's hands, which seemed to be everywhere.

"Crack? Really?" she nodded. "Well, have you ever snorted?" she shook her head quickly. "Let me show you, then." he unwrapped himself from his girl, picking up some of the stuff and lining it up on the table. He then bent down, leaned in close, and sucked it up his nose. "Your turn."

She immediately bent down and did what he did, his face just inches from hers. When the stuff first went up her nose it was painful, but it didn't take long for her to get the buzz. So this is what everyone was talking about when they were getting high. She felt a smile forming on her face, and new bravery swelling in her stomach.

"You know Chris, you're really high!"

"I know I am!" he shouted.

"No, I meant hot!" Massie cracked herself up.

"You're really hot too! And high!"

"So we're both high and hot!"

"Yeah!!!!" Massie was screaming on the inside. The whole world was just the two of them.

Suddenly she was moving, following him somewhere or other. Had he told her to follow, or was she being totally creeper on him? Whatever.

They entered a bedroom, and before she knew it, Massie was on a bed completely naked. She was going to be so famous in the Pretty Committee!

Stuff was happening that she had never done before with anyone, and she couldn't keep track of it. There were so many body parts going around and strange feelings in her body and smells and other sensations.

Eventually it was over, and she shot up in bed to see Chris and his date laying beside her, as well as an open door and a crowd of gawking bystanders outside. Her head hurt, and she felt like she was going to hurl. Her body was sticky and it hurt, and she was embarrassed that she was sitting naked in front of a bunch of people. She ducked down behind the bed and put on her crumpled, sticky, ruined clothing.

Massie ran to the door and burst through the crowd amongst cries of 'slut' and 'whore' and guys trying to grab her and people grabbing her butt and boobs and hot sweaty people talking to her too loud. She pushed and pushed through the crowd until she found Kristen and Alicia, both who looked completely confused, though not as bad as she felt or probably looked.

"What happened?!" they both shouted at the sight of her.

"We're leaving!" Massie shouted, grabbing both their arms.

"The boys!"

"Screw boys! Screw girls! Screw everything!" Massie cried, tears brimming over her eyes. She could see Cam and Josh on their way towards their dates. She turned and bolted before they could see her at this all-time low.
