It's finally Saturday and I'm meeting Dmitri at the mall near my house so I won't have to drive home tonight. Which was the best option since I am planning to drink till I can't feel my legs and forget everything. Don't drink and drive, kids.
I get the the mall a few hours before Dmitri so that I can shop for a dress and some makeup. He told me just to bring what I was going to be wearing in a backpack anyway, that way I could get ready with him and his friends. The dress I end up getting is black and off the shoulders with long sleeves. I get a pair black high heels, made of a leather material to match my jacket, they also have peep holes at the toe and heel of the shoe. They are also about 3 inches high, I'm able to walk around on flat ground in them, barely. Anything higher might be a challenge, but I'm up for it, as long as I'm having fun. The makeup I get is very basic, and also, what the lady in the makeup store recommended to me. Not that I would know how to correctly apply it, but there was supposed to be another girl there tonight, and maybe she could help me apply it. Dmitri has already complained about how they always have to wait on her to finish her make up anyway. I still decide to watch a few basic tutorials on YouTube so I would have an idea of what to do. But do people like me ever turn out looking like those people online? I don't think so. After buying my stuff, it was almost time to meet up with Dmitri. So I decide to go ahead and go to the shop where I'm meeting him and start looking for snacks and alcohol, since that was the whole reason we decided to meet at the shop.
I'm sorting through the flavoured vodka section when I feel someone watching me from behind. I turn around, thinking Dmitri would be there, but no one's in sight in the isle behind me. Considering I'm in the corner of the shop, I decide to walk to the isle beside the one I was in. The isle is empty and I begin walking down it, looking for the sign of anyone and listening for footsteps. Nothing.
"Boo."
"AHHHHH! Fucking hell, you fucking asshole, how fucking dare you, I can't believe you just fucking did that." I jump out of my fucking skin when Dmitri decides to sneak up behind me and surprise me by placing his hand on my shoulder, and his tall looming figure didn't exactly help the situation. He sure is a sly little bastard. He's also practically on the floor, laughing and crying.
"I'm- Haha. I'm sorry. Haha. I didn't think it would scare you that much." Dmitri says, trying to catch his breath and calm himself down, before moving the conversation right along. "Find anything nice to drink tonight?"
"Many litres of vodka!" I say, my eyes lighting up with the idea of chugging all my problems away.
"Whoa. Whoa. Someone is planning to go pretty hard today." Dmitri says while picking up a small bottle of Malibu from the bottom shelf. "How about something like this?"
"Oh no. Can the big boy not hold his liquor?" I says, picking up a litre of vanilla vodka and winking at him.
"Is that a challenge I hear?" He says, picking up a second litre of vodka.
"You bet it is." I grab a third litre.
"Bring it on, small fry." He grabs a fourth litre. Then, we set our 4 litres of vodka in a cart and still decide to get the bottle of Malibu. Dmitri says that's for Kai and his friend Lorenzo. I nod as we head towards the snacks, grabbing a bag of chips before I start heading to the check out.
"Don't you want some mixers for the drinks?" He says as I'm walking off to check out.
"I guess, if that's what the baby boy wants." I smirk join Dmitri towards the soda. In the end, we only ended up getting two litres of vodka, one litre of Malibu, and three litres of cola. The club has more liquor if we really need it tonight, Dmitri tells me as we're checking out with our drinks and snacks.
"Hold on tight or I might go too fast for you." Dmitri jokes as we get on his D-Wheel to go to Lorenzo's house.
"This must be your first time to be held by a woman." I joke back sliding my arms around his waist, not caring too much about holding on. I even let the idea of falling off and dieing go through my head. Ah, how nice that would be. He retorts with something along the lines of I could walk if I wanted to, but I'm not really paying attention. But my thoughts are cut off, of course, as Dmitri pulls out of the parking lot, and without realizing it. I'm holding on a lot tighter than I intended. On the ride there, Dmitri tells me more about the friends that I'm going to meet, and Lorenzo's Mom, Stella, apparently she's a hoot, as Dmitri calls her. Dmitri also warns me there's was no need to feel like a fifth wheel, even if Lorenzo and Kamila, then Kai and him are dating. He tells me that him and Kamila are the ones that always party and that I could just stay with them and have a good time. He tries to warn me about how his friends can also be more crazy than him sometimes, I laugh and remind him that I, myself, am a lot worse than him. He keeps talking, but my brain loses focus and I admire his D-Wheel. It's not very special, it looks like any standard black motorcycle you could find if you were part of a biker gang. But at the same time, it's special. It's practical and well taken care of, and definitely fits Dmitri's cool aesthetic.
My thoughts shift again, this time it's to the past and though I hated my past and Jonathan, I had some crazy times and lots of wild parties in my past. I don't want that part of my life to die, even if I myself want to die. So, I'm happy that I've gotten this part of my life back now. I try to let myself be happy and decide to concentrate on my current surroundings. We're headed into a brighter part of town, the houses were smaller and more spread out, but the grass was bright green, with the sun starting to set. It's one of the prettiest things I have ever seen. We then turn and pull into a smaller town house with two stories. We must be here. Most of the house are made of wood and looked very welcoming and cozy. It's almost the opposite of my parents larger mansion, modern, with larger glass windows. I still didn't know what to expect when we go inside. What's Lorenzo's mom really like, does he have a father, what do the rest of Dmitri's friends look like, I just don't know.
We get off the D-Wheel, grabbing the stuff from a compartment under the seat, before heading inside up the small wooden steps of the front porch. Dmitri doesn't even knock on the door before heading inside, since the door wasn't even locked. I wish I had that security.
"Dmitri!" shouted a middle aged lady with shoulder length brown hair, before developing Dmitri into a hug. He smiles and returns the hug. "It's been almost two weeks since I've seen you! It's good to see you back, do you want any snack or anything before you head up stairs?"
"No thanks Stella, we grabbed some stuff from the market in the mall on the way here." He says, holding up the full paper bag.
"We?" She said looking curiously around Dmitri.
"Yes, this is our new friend, Kyoko. Isn't she cute?"
Her eyes lit up at the words new friend. She seemed like such and honest and nice lady. I hope that if anyone, nothing bad would happen to her. I notice her dark brown eyes transition to a purple in the center.
"Hi…" I hold my hand up in an awkward wave, before I'm engulfed in a full hug just like Dmitri. It's so warm and comforting. She has only known me for less than a minute and she's already giving me a hug. It's almost like the mother I've never had. Sure, I've had Martha, and before her, I had Kamiko, but they were much older and felt like what I would imagine having a grandmother would be like. This women here in front of me, she's a true mother. She would give you the world, even if she didn't have it, and she would want nothing in return.
"It's so nice to meet Lorenzo and Dmitri's new friends. My name is Stella, just think of my as your mom when you're not at home. If you never need anything, don't be afraid to ask me, dear." She says, moving away from the hug and grasping my shoulders and looking me in the eyes. I give her a small nod.
"Thank you so much, Stella."
With that, we take the stairs to the second floor of the house where Lorenzo's room was, which was quite obvious from the loud laughing coming from upstairs. As we get to the top of the stairs, the laughter stops, they've heard us. My stomach tightens up and my heart starts speeding up. I'm almost scared to make new friends. This is so new to me, but I'm going to try my best. Before we can enter the room, a girl with wavy bright green hair pops out from behind the door. God, she's beautiful, and with that, my worries fade away.
"Hi, you must be Kyoko. My name's Kamila. I'm so happy we have another girl hanging out with us for once, because who wants to deal with lot of boys, right?" She chuckles and smiles at me.
"Hey! We can hear you Kamila." Two voices from inside the room shout and I laugh.
"Yea, who likes boys?" I spout out and laugh awkwardly, my worries might be gone but the pretty girl makes me nervous in another way. Kamila ushers us into the room. I'm then met by the eyes of the two boys that shouted at Kamila.
"Hi," said the boy sitting on the floor that I recognise as Dmitri's boyfriend, Kai, from Dmitri's phone background.
"Hello and welcome to mi casa. Otherwise, known as Stella's house for Stupid Teens," exclaims the boy that must be Lorenzo. He has bright purple hair and dark purple eyes. Kamila sits down on the bed beside him, but I'm honestly too busy thinking about how lucky Lorenzo is for being able to date Kamila than paying attention to any other details about him. Dmitri joins his boyfriend on the floor and pats the space across from them for me to sit down, before pulling the snacks and drinks we bought out of the shopping bag. I decide to follow his directions and sit on the floor, but my favourite seat would have been in Kamila's lap.
"So, Kyoko, I think you are smart enough to figure out who is who. At least I would hope you are, but I'll go ahead and introduce everyone again anyway. This is Kamila, she likes the colour red and is a train wreck, but we all love her. This is Lorenzo, he is a big momma's boy, he's the only one not a Psychic, but he's special in his own way. Then, you have my boyfriend, Kai, He's a hot piece of Hawaiian ass, who likes to hold grudges when you says stupid stuff about them, which means he always has a grudge for me even if he loves me. Then of course you have me. The best one in the room, your boy Dmitri." Dmitri says, winking with the comment about himself, while everyone had their own reactions to what he said about them. "And, for everyone else. This is Kyoko, also known as small fry. She's pretty lonely because she doesn't have any friends and she's never really met many other Psychics."
"Hey! I'm not that lonely. Also I'm taller than Kamila, and probably Kai, so I'm also not that small." I try to defend myself.
"Also, you shouldn't be thinking of yourself so highly, Dmitri. We all know there are lots of people better than you in here." Kamila says, winking at me. If I wasn't awkward enough, now I was just speechless. How do you even talk to her without dying of happiness inside, too bad she's a Psychic.
"How about some drinking games?" I say quickly, trying to recover by looking away from Kamila.
"Now you're talking!" Kamila shouts, sliding from the bed onto the floor beside me and wrapping her arm around my shoulder. "Any ideas of what we should play, darling?"
"Uhh.. Never have I ever? That's good to get to know each other.. I think. Also, with shots instead of fingers." I say, throwing an idea out there.
"Sounds like fun! Plus, we love shots in this house. Unless you are baby Kai," Dmitri says, setting up what he can, and then whispers, "because he's a lightweight."
"I'll go grab the shot glasses, and get me and Kai some glasses. Anyone need anything else?" Lorenzo asks and we all nod our heads no before he heads out of the room downstairs.
"So, Kyoko, tell me something interesting about yourself while we're waiting." Kamila says, holding the side of my face so that I will look at her. What I say next would be the first thing that come to my head, because I honestly have trouble concentrating everytime she looks at me.
"I like women." Kamila dies laughing, but then I try to redeem myself. "But. But, I also like men. I like men and women. I like people. Everyone is nice. Girls are just. Girls are really good."
That definitely wasn't a smooth recovery.
"I also like women and men too" Kamila says trying to recover from laughing. Thankfully, Lorenzo comes back in the room so I don't have to try and recover from my stupid mouth again. This is honestly the biggest fool I've ever made of myself.
"So, what would everyone like to drink?" Dmitri says, grabbing the vodka and the soda from the floor as Lorenzo puts down the shot glasses and the cups.
"I'll take some soda, only soda." Lorenzo says ,grabbing and holding out his glass as Dmitri pours him so soda while making a booing sound. "Hey, I'm sorry, someone has to drive us."
"True, and I would never want that job." Dmitri says while pouring himself a shot and knocking it back. He then continues to pour drinks for everyone else and we start playing our drinking games. I'm learning lots of new stuff about these people, probably even more than I really wanted to know about them. It's still exciting and as I look around the room I knew, at least for now, I could call these people my friends.
A few drinks and feeling a little bit tipsy later, Kamila pulls me by the arm into the bathroom, along with my bag and her bag of stuff from the floor. I guess it's a good idea to get ready before being too tipsy to do so. Kamila pulls out a large bag of makeup and a hair curler. I, in turn, take my bag and pull out a small, less impressive bag of makeup that I bought in the mall earlier in the day. Kamila starts doing her makeup in the bathroom mirror. I still can't stand to look at her for too long without thinking I was falling in love with her, and the alcohol definitely isn't helping me out. Thanks alcohol, you're no help. All I wanted to do was drown my problems in you, and all you are doing is causing me more problems. I look away from Kamila and try to focus on doing my own makeup. I keep looking over at Kamila, trying to tell if I'm doing my makeup correctly, but I just keep get distracted. Before I know it, she's finishing up by putting a bright red lipstick on. She then turns to me and smiles.
"Need some help, honey?" My knees weaken when she calls me honey and I normally would think myself as a suave person. I need to get back to that, but all I can do right now is nod to her. She just smiles and starts doing my makeup, and all I have to do is sit there and look pretty for her.
After we are done with makeup, Kamila does her hair. I take the braid in my hair from riding Dmitri's D-Wheel earlier and brushed it, deciding it was nice enough just to leave down. While Kamila finished her hair, I laid out our clothes out on the counter so we could change. I also quickly remove all the tags from the clothes and shove them back in my bag. Without thinking, I strip out of the clothes I have on and change into the dress and heels I bought earlier. I'm not one to be shy about my body in front of anyone, except my boobs which could be a few sizes larger and I would be happy.
That's when I look over at Kamila. Her back is facing me and she has stripped down to her bra and underwear. The thoughts that went through my head were for my brain only and shouldn't be shared with others. Plus, she has a boyfriend and I need to get over this and just act cool. Kyoko, you stupid slut, get over yourself right now is what my brain is saying and I take a few deep breaths. Before I know it, Kamila has already changed into a skin tight red dress, matching her lipstick. The dress barely covers up much besides the top of her thighs, she then puts on some black stiletto heels, with red detailing that made my 3 inch heels look short. The extra few inches made Kamila even slightly taller than me. The finishing touch is a stretchy black choker, that draws my eyes to her neck and makes me bite my lower lip.
"How do I look?" She turns around smiling at me like a ray of sunshine. Her hair was perfectly curled and falls right at her shoulders, her bangs hung perfectly over her forehead. The red from her lips, dress, and heels make her skin and hair look stunning. This is the most perfect woman I have ever seen. I make a loud gulp before even trying to answer.
"Perfect. Stunning. I would die for you."
"Not if I die for you first." She says, winking at me. I need my suave confidence back, so that two can play at this game.
"I would live for you and that a lot considering how much I hate myself." Smooth one Kyoko, at least I'm starting to feel more comfortable around her as we talk. Kamila snickers and slips a thin black silk material jacket over her dress for now, to keep herself warm till we got to the club. I also get to witness her shoving her money, ID, and phone into her bra for safe keeping. We then get our bags with our old clothes and head back to the room. We get greeted with whistles by all the guys, which is a complement when two of the three guys in the room don't even like girls. They have already changed into their clothes to go out also.
They're all wearing skinny jeans ranging from black, dark blue, to light blue. Dmitri paired his black jeans with a light pale blue button up shirt with small vertical stripes, tucked into his pants with a brown belt on his pants. Like always, his clothes choose to make a statement. Kai's dark blue jeans, on the other hand, were paired with a basic v-neck t shirt but it was the colour of the ocean and complemented his eyes. This is a big change from the baggy shirt and shorts he was wearing earlier. Then, you have Lorenzo with his light blue jeans and lavender-esque polo, but it's paired with a nicer light brown jacket and a pair of shades hanging from his shirt.
Kamila and I join the boys on the floor again, trying the best to sit in a position where everything isn't visible under our dresses. Not that they would probably care. We continue playing games till we finished one and a half of the two litres of vodka and Kai had finished maybe a fourth of the Malibu we bought. That's good enough for now, we need to make sure we weren't too drunk, so that we can still get into the club. We're all very tipsy though and still ready to dance the night away. We had all started to be more comfortable around each other, and even though I knew Kamila was beautiful, I had to remember that she was unobtainable and just to have fun. So that's exactly what I do, have fun.
We finally get ready to leave and were civil enough to take all the cups and shot glasses down stairs into the sink and tell Stella bye. She tells us all how amazing we look and, of course, tell us to be safe and call if we need anything. Then, we finally leave the house and jump into Lorenzo's mom's minivan. Dmitri sits up front with Lorenzo because, apparently, he has the best music taste and would get the party started.This causes everyone to roll their eyes but we go along with it anyway. The drive doesn't take too long, but we have to go deep into the centre of the City to get to the club. We park about two blocks over to be safe, and then decide it's finally time to walk to the club. We finally make it to the line for the club, which is already long, but we don't mind. We just talked and made our own fun out of it. We even laugh at the girl, slightly behind us in the line, who gets sick from drinking too much before coming to the club. What a magical time this is going to be. After about ten minutes, there we are, standing under the bright neon sign. We made it to Psycho.
