Who ever knew band geeks had such a strange dynamic? They had made it to their State competition, which required them to drive out of state wand rent out hotel rooms for the night, and of course, the instructors didn't care what they did. Yes, the band geeks had snuck out of the hotel, all two hundred and thirty-three of them, and they were now bouncing around Indianapolis, hitting up all of the clubs they could find.
A victory to the band kids meant tons of drinking and lots of partying. Matteus reckoned he was right with his assumption of the band geeks in Lima. They were all horny little freaks and he was fine with that for the time being because at the present moment, he was watching a very drunk Ellis dance the night away in the middle of the dance floor. He wanted, more than anything else to run out there and join her, but he found after several shots of Tequila, it was getting difficult to walk a straight line, and the only way he was leaving his chair was if someone literally carried him out of it.
"Whatcha lookin' at there?" a very slurred Hannah asks, collapsing in the seat beside Mattheus, having been flirting with the bartender moments prior.
"What? Nothing!" he chuckled a bit too loudly, as he took another big gulp.
"If I didn't know any better, I'd say you were staring at the hotness that is our little Ellis." That kind of made him flinch. Even completely wasted, Hannah was very observant. That was the only thing that had ever really irked him about her.
"What about her?" he tried to seem aloof. It wasn't working so well, though.
"She's hot, Matty." That ridiculous nickname. Oh, how he hated it, "Go flirt a little." She cackled as she stumbled back out onto the dance floor. He looked into his glass and nodded. He downed what was left and leapt to his feet, causing him to crumble a little because of his state. Luckily, he was pretty close to the ground and he was able to recompose himself quickly.
As he walked up to her, she was quick to notice him, even though to most, it was simple for him to blend into the knees of the many that were taller than him, "Hey!" she shouted in her stupor, "Come dance with me!" she yelled over the wail of the sudden change from a steady song by the Fray to some obscure Scream-o song that none of them were familiar with.
Mattheus gladly accepted the excuse to join her, and moments later, Ellis and Mattheus were grinding on the dance floor. Yes, she was several inches taller than him, but Ellis was the only person he had ever met who was somewhere around his own age, over the age of eight, that is. As soon as the song had started, it ended and suddenly that song came on. That awkward slow song that you never expect to some. That song that leaves you awkwardly standing there, swaying back and forth, looking for people to sway with. Only moments later, Mattheus took in a breath and held his hand out for Ellis. She took his hand and managed to cool it enough to sway and not jump and grind.
Only a second later, they managed some sort of a drunken kiss, and even in their haziness, it felt right.
