Behind These Eyes Chapter 10-A Drunken Craze
Thanks to a brilliant idea from Psychic Child of the Corn, I give a special thanks to her for formulating the basis of this chapter!
"Good morning everyone! Now, as you know, Spring Break is coming around. So, to celebrate, a pop quiz!" Mr. Simpson exclaimed.
Everyone sighed as Mr. Simpson gleefully handed out the papers.
I looked at Manny, who held several pink envelopes, which I guessed were invitations. Once again, Manny was gonna have a party…and I bet she had a few tricks up her sleeve.
She glanced at me, her finger pointing to the envelopes. She slid one across the floor, in my direction.
"Please, just come. Everyone's going to be there." Manny whispered.
PARTAAAY!
A Spring Break Celebration Party thrown by Manny.
At: Manny's house
From: 6 pm to 2 am
Bring: Whatever you want.
Sounded like another one of Manny's trashy get-togethers. I crumpled the invitation and made an aim for the basket. Manny gave me a sad look, and returned to the quiz.
After School:
"Why'd you crumple the invitation?" Manny asked.
"Manny, I know what you're doing this for. You're trying to reel me into one of your dirty games." I said.
"Dirty games? Didn't I tell you I was so over that? C'mon JT, partying is your specialty…you know you want to." Manny said.
"Oh, I know what I want. For you to leave me alone, and get Toby or someone to make out with you. I'm sure he willingly will accept." I said.
"I don't want Toby, I want you." Manny said.
"Well, you can't have me. You took advantage of your chance, and in life, you don't get third chances." I said.
Emma gave me a look, signaling for me to come over. I walked over, and saw her give me a odd and disgusted face.
"Another one of Manny's cheesy parties. I'm glad I'm going away for Spring Break." Emma said.
"What? You're going away?" I said.
"Yep, Florida, to visit my long-lost cousin Marnie. I don't even know her, and now I have to go visit her, whoopee. But, at least I'm avoiding the sleaze and cheese." Emma said.
"Now I have to deal with Manny all by myself, whoo hoo." I said.
"Don't worry, you'll be alright. Just tell her you're busy." Emma said, giving me a kiss.
That Saturday:
Emma was now gone, away to Florida. Manny eventually convinced me to go, but I was only going because my slutty cousin was visiting. My slutty cousin, the one who dresses in tube tops and Beyonce makeup. Something I'd rather avoid.
"Now go and have fun, James." Mom said, kissing my cheek.
"Yeah…I can only hope so." I said.
I arrived at Manny's about 2 minutes later. Once again, it was the same get-up. Pink and blue strobe lights, confetti, and everyone barely dressed.
"JT, what a pleasure. Can I get you a drink?" Manny said.
"Diet Coke, please." I said.
She turned around, and I wandered around the body of people. I saw Liberty in the corner of my eye, making out with some sleazeball. Darcy was staring at me from the other side of the room, glancing at Chester every now and then and winking at me.
Like I cared what that slut did.
Manny came back to me with a glass. I was pretty thirsty, so I downed it pretty quickly. It tasted funky, but I was so thirsty I could care less.
"Thirsty aren't we? I'll get you another one." Manny said.
3 drinks later, and my head was spinning around. I felt weightless, happy, and everyone looked like they'd be a good friend.
"So, want to talk upstairs?" Manny asked me.
"Of course!" I replied.
She smiled, and we walked upstairs. I had to hold her hand, I was so dizzy. We were now in the familarness of Manny's bedroom.
"Wow…it's all pretty." I said.
"Yeah, that's all thanks to Mommy Dearest." Manny said.
"I like her work. My favorite is the Blue Swans, cuz they're so…pretty." I said.
Manny moved a little closer to me, and before you knew it, we were all over each other. Her lips, her body, her everything was all I wanted right now. I was so drunk, I couldn't give a care about Emma.
Wait, I forgot about Emma.
I snapped out of it and threw Manny on the bed.
"How dare you, you bitch! Slipping alcohol in my drink and getting me so drunk I'd make out with you! You selfish pig!" I said.
"It was your decision, not mine. And now you've cheated." Manny said.
"And now you've been permanently removed from my life, you man sucking whore!" I said.
"Well, if you're gonna be that way, you can just leave!" Manny said.
"I wasn't gonna even come anyway. But some how, your devilish little ways got me. Not anymore, Santos. Not anymore. Don't even speak to me or Emma." I said.
I slammed the door in her face and hurried out of there. I could only hope Emma would understand why this all happened. Manny, the devil who slipped alcohol in my drink, just so I'd make out with her. And now, I was left with the scars of her actions.
The Next Day:
I dialed on my cell phone quickly. I had to call Emma and tell her all about this fiasco. I trusted Emma, so if she was like I thought she was, she'd understand.
"Hello?" Emma answered.
"Hey, it's JT. I have a super crazy story to tell you, and please don't hate me forever for this." I said.
"Ok, shoot." Emma said.
"I went to Manny's right? She gave me some Diet Cokes to drink, but little did I know she slipped alcohol in there, so I was drunk. She brought me upstairs, and we started making out, because I was drunk. I'm really mad at Manny because of it. She slipped the alcohol in there just so I would make out with her." I said.
"Wow…that little bitch. I should be upset, but I'm sorry that that happened. I should have been there." Emma said.
"I knew you'd understand, thanks so much. I really feel bad…Manny's such a ass, and I never saw it." I said.
"Well…we've just gotta stay away from her, my boyfriend." Emma said.
"And that's what we'll do. See ya later, love ya!" I said.
I hung up, relieved. Emma forgave me, Manny and Darcy were out of my life, and for once, I was completely satisfied.
Not until my doorbell rang.
ooh, what's gonna happen? Once again, kudos to Psychic Child of the Corn, great idea! Thanks also to all my local friendly reviewers, more fun coming up next!
