--Party Time!--
-Angel's POV-
"It's Friday It's Friday It's Friday!" I yell as I run around the house after school. Surprisingly no one is telling me to be quiet or stop running around, so I keep going. "I'm so excited it's Fridaaaaay!"
"Angelo why are you so excited?" Miguel asks me.
"I get to go to a party tonight!" I start jumping around, dancing and leaping. Miguel starts dancing with me, joining in with my shouts of "it's Friday!" I go upstairs and get my outfit together, putting it into my backpack. Even if my parents are being nice, they wouldn't like me in drag. So I just put on jeans and a t-shirt and go out the door, getting in the car (which I somehow managed to be allowed to borrow). I drive to Collins' house and get out of the car with my backpack. His parents aren't home yet, so I open the door and go in.
"Collins, I'm here!" He comes running into the room.
"Hey Ang! Ready to go?" He looks at my jeans- a pair I usually wear to school. "I would have thought you'd be dressed up for a party."
"Give me a sec in the bathroom, okay hon? I brought my real outfit in my backpack."
He nods and I go into the bathroom. I'm nervous, mostly because I'm not sure how he'll react. I put on the tights, skirt, and the rest of my outfit. I straighten the wig nervously… I'm probably more scared now than I was when I first asked him out. I open the door and walk back into the living room, where he's sitting on the couch. He looks up and I see shock and awe on his face.
"Wow. Now that is how I would expect you to dress for a party." I sigh in relief. He gets up and hugs me. "Did you think I wouldn't like it?" I nod. "Well, you're too insecure about how amazingly beautiful you are." We kiss and go out to the car.
We arrive at Roger's house and it already looks like there's a party going on, with all the cars parked in the driveway and along the street. Amazingly, it's only our usual group from school, plus a couple other people. I'm incredibly nervous. Collins squeezes my hand, and we go inside. Roger is by the door, and he greets us. When he sees me he falters slightly.
"Hey Collins, where's Angel? I thought you were gay, man!" He says jokingly. "Just kidding. Wow. You look amazing, Angel." He leads us to a door. "The main party is going on downstairs in the basement, because that way we can play our music as loud as we want without bothering the neighbors. Help youself to booze, drugs, chairs and whatever else you find down there."
We go down the stairs and find Mark sitting in a corner. He has a soda, and he's watching Maureen dancing with some girl from a different school. I sneak up on him and poke his arm.
"Marky! Wake up!" He looks up and doesn't recognize me.
"Uh hi. How did you know my name?" Collins rolls his eyes.
"Mark, it's Angel. Of course he knows your name."
Mark's eyes are wide in surprise, and he just stares at us. "Woah. Sorry I didn't recognize you. You look great though!" I grin at him and grab Collins.
"Come on, babe. Let's go check out that booze Roger was talking about."
About an hour and several drinks later, Roger gathers everyone to the middle of the basement.
"Now, everyone here? We're not all drunk yet, so let's get everyone completely drunk!" He hands out plastic cups and sets a case of beer in the middle of the circle everyone is sitting in. "This is a fun game. I don't know the name, but who cares. The rules are simple- Someone says 'I've never…' done something, and everyone who has done it has to take a drink. Not a small sip either, a biiig one. So everyone fill your cups!"
I can tell this is going to be good.
-Collins' POV-
We're at Roger's party, about to play some drinking game. So of course I'm a little nervous- what if I do something embarrassing?
"Who wants to start?" Roger asks. Maureen raises her glass and shouts-
"I have never played this drinking game before." Everyone stares at her, probably because she's had the most to drink of anyone there. Mark takes a sip of his drink, and so does Roger. Mark goes next.
"I have never… made out with a guy." Angel and I both take a drink, and so does Maureen and the girl she was dancing with earlier. April does, and surprisingly… so does Roger. Everyone stares at him.
"What? I was totally drunk."
"Right... well I want to go next!" I shout. "Hmmm… I have never dressed up in drag to go to one of Roger's parties." Angel glares at me.
"You planned that." He raises his cup. "Well, I have never hacked into the computers at school." Now I have to take a sip.
It continues this way, until we start to run out of ideas.
"I have never fucked a guy." Roger says, slurring his words. Maureen, April and I drink some of our beer. Angel looks at me, frowning.
"Really?"
I blush. "Last year. It was… nothing. Can we not talk about it right now?"
"Fine." She's pouting now. Wait, no. He. It just seems kind of natural to think of Angel as a girl, now. I won't worry about it. We all mutually decide to end the game, and go back to dancing. Maureen is dancing with the other girl again, whose name- we have learned- is Joanne. April is dancing with them too, and Roger and Mark have mysteriously disappeared.
"Hey Ang, where did Mark and Roger go?"
"I dunno, honey. But I think we should find them so they don't hurt themselves falling down the stairs." We go up to the living room- no Mark, no Roger. Kitchen- same. I start to go up the stairs to Roger's room, and Angel follows me. I'm about to open the door when I hear them inside talking.
"Roggy, stop it. You're drunk." Mark's voice is shaking slightly. Angel raises an eyebrow and motions for me to stop.
"Marky, I know you want me- So just get over it, okay? Besides you've never kissed a guy before- maybe you'll learn something." I can't help it, I open the door.
Roger is practically on top of Mark, kissing him. Mark looks happy, until he sees Angel and me standing in the doorway. Angel starts giggling, and Roger glares at us.
"What the hell guys! Shut the door and leave us alone!" Angel reaches past me and grabs the door handle, closing it.
"Well, that was interesting. Let's go back downstairs." We stumble down one flight, and then go down into the basement again. I fall down onto a collapsing couch in one corner of the room. Angel sits next to me, and April wanders over.
"Hey, do you guys know where Roger went? I can't find him." She looks around, still searching for Roger.
"He's upstairs with Mark." We answer in unison, and she giggles.
"Okay thanks. Here can you hold this?" she hands us what appears to be a cigarette. I nod and take it, and she winks at me. "You know, on second thought, you guys can have it. Have fun."
-still Collins' POV-
Angel manages to drive to my house. How she does it, I don't know. All I know is that I have never been high before in my life… and it's not a bad feeling. I compose myself before going into the house, going upstairs and collapsing onto my bed. I made it back before my curfew…
-Angel's POV-
I somehow get home without running the car into anything, and realize I forgot to change my clothes back. So I change in the car, hoping no one asks why it takes me so long to come inside. I'm back in my jeans and t-shirt, and I stumble up to the door. Steadying myself, I go inside. Please don't notice how unsteady I am. Please don't notice. I say good night to my mom, who is waiting for me to get home, and if she does notice that I'm nearly falling over, she doesn't say anything. I go upstairs and flop down on my bed, falling asleep almost instantly.
Teehee. I love them so much, and I had to sneak in some other pairings. -winks- And I committed the terrible sin of adding the "I've Never…" Game, which has been done SO many times... Review and we'll find out where the story is going!
