You wake up to hear your phone buzzing, you look over to see 'Unknown Number' at first you're puzzled but then a quick thought comes to your head. You answer quickly and groan in your morning voice
"He- hello? Al-Alexandra?" you cant remember her name correctly, but you rush to get the conversation started.
"Alex fucking andra?" she replies in her usual deep tone and continues
"God, Piper that's like me calling you Pipper ew.. never call me that again that's just.. ew" she says with disgust.
"Sorry.. Alex. That's your name" you say quietly with embarrassment.
"Piper, Im kidding. Well not about the don't call me Alexandra part but still. Oh god I remember at school when all the teachers used to call me that when I was in trouble, I hated every fucking minute of it.. anyway do you even remember what I look like?" she laughs towards the end of her sentence.
You sit up in bed and scratch your head then rub your eyes and think "Umm yeah kinda. Black hair?" you question.
"Yeahhhh.. what else Pipper?" she teases.
"Stop!" you laugh, "Okay okay um green eyes I think im not sure".
"Well done, what else?"
"Uh If I remember correctly, you were wearing like a leather jacket? And you had like grunge jeans or something like that. I did say to myself you liked the color black so yeah" You blurt out quickly.
"Well done. Pipper" she laughs at the 'Pipper' joke once again.
"Damnit stop calling me that!" you try to sound serious but end up giggling a little bit.
"Uh anyways save my number and keep in touch, Its ALEX by the way…"
"I know I know, I'll save it don't worry. ALEX." You over pronounce the last part. She ends the call and you save it straight away naming her 'AAALLEXXX' since you find over pronouncing it makes it funny. Weird humor.
You then get up out of bed finally, and go towards the door then barge into the kitchen half asleep. Standing there is your annoying but yet best friend Polly.
"Been talking to a boooy Piperrrr?" she asks and hands you a fresh orange juice.
"No actually, a girl."
"What? Huh?" she asks whilst looking very confused.
"Its not like that, I could've said that differently. Shes just a friend" you confirm.
"Are you sure? It didn't seem very… friendy to me"
"Friendy? What?" You laugh hysterically.
Weird humor once again.
"Im kidding" she giggles back. You smile at her and grab yourself a slice of toast what she left for you. You sit there eating and scrolling through your instagram feed and take another sip of orange juice.
"Piper?!" Polly shouts.
"Yeah?" you shout back loudly.
"Me, Pete, Larry and some of my other friends are going to a club tonight. You want in?" she asks in a normal tone since she comes downstairs to ask.
"Talk about late notice, I need to get my outfit sorted out now. Typical Polly, what time?"
"Around 9 ish, we'll stay until we all get tired from some drinks."
"Alright that's cool." You reply.
"You've met Larry right? He's kinda nerdy looking.. but you'll like him"
"Yes.. I've met him. He's… average" you squirm.
Polly laughs at your, 'oh so kind' remark about him.
"Anyways, Im gonna go get changed. I need to go and get some groceries for this place we're running out of everything. You want anything?" you ask.
"Yeah can you get me an electronic toothbrush? Those stupid crappy normal ones don't work as good."
"Really Polly? An electronic toothbrush. Really?" you roll your eyes.
"Piperrrrr pleaseeeee" she says in the usual yourmybestfriendandyou'lldoanythingforme tone.
"Fine, Idiot. But you're giving me the money back." You say as you walk to your bedroom.
"Tight or what" she shouts at you. Typical best friend conversation y'know toothbrushes and shit, you think.
You go towards your drawers and open the top one, which contains underwear bra's and socks. You pick a pair of each and then open the next drawer and grab a pair of light blue skinny jeans with a plain white shirt. It's not cold outside, but it's not warm either so you go to your closet and grab a short black coat to keep at a decent temperature. You then slip on your clothes and wash your face and brush your teeth whilst listening to the music Polly has on upstairs. Once you're done you brush your hair in the mirror and tie it up In a neat bun and remember something. You head upstairs and knock on Polly's door, once… twice… and you begin to lose your patience. You open the door and say "Are the keys in here?"
"Haven't you learnt to knock" she asks throwing the keys to you.
"I did, idiot" you say getting quite annoyed and walk downstairs not bothering to close the door.
"Ever learnt to close a door either?!" she yells.
"Shut up" you shout back.
You put on some black boots and head outside, making your way to the nearest local market. Finally you arrive and get a shopping cart, then get whatever you need until you receive a text 30 mins after.
Polly; AKA IDIOT: heyy gurl sorry about earlier I was being a bitch but can you get us some shotzzz just for the pre drinks thanks gurl bye gurl
you read it and scoff at her spelling, 'she was never really good at english class' you think to yourself.
You reply back: Yeah sure, I have your fancy toothbrush by the way.
You go down the drink aisle and grab a medium bottle of vodka, that should do. The checkout is right infront of you so you go to it and place your items whilst making small talk with the checkout assistant.
"Have a nice day ma'am" the youngish man smiles.
You shoot a smile back and then turn around, taking a cab back home since you have too many bags to carry to walk back with.
"Here we are" the cab driver says after a while.
You thank him and get out whilst placing your bags on your porch.
"Polly! Come help me carry these bags in" you say as you open the door.
She rushes down in excitement and says "Yes! Have you got my toothbrush? You better have my toothbrush"
"Are you really that excited because of a toothbrush?" you say as you carry the bags in with her and close the door when you're done.
"Yess, where is it?" "Its in one of these bags but you better help me pack these back or you don't get it"
"Okay I will" she replies whilst packing them away with you.
"Thanks for this" she says when she waves the toothbrush in the air.
You roll your eyes then smile at her not being able to take her seriously, then you go to the couch and turn on Netflix. You turn on a show to leave on in the background and then check the time '7:30pm'. 'That went fast, although I woke up at like.. 3pm. No way did it take me that long to shop, what? ' you think to yourself. You start to get hungry and your first instinct is to text Polly, although you're in the same house.
You: Can you make dinner im really really really hungry, and that means like.. really hungry.
Polly: rlly? The kichen and living room are like joined togeter god.
You: Hey! I cooked last night so go and make it.
Polly: ugh finneeee.
Living with your best friend is fun, but also stressful since you have to sort out who does what.
A few hours passed and you pick out what you're going to wear for tonight. You choose a red dress which isnt short, but isnt exactly long either. You didn't want to get the impression that you're a skank so you chose a sassy but classy kinda thing. You had a gold bracelet on your wrist with little diamantes and red lipstick. For shoes, you find some red heels which are the same color shade of red of your dress so you go with that. You lie on your bed and put your phone on charge because knowing iPhones, they don't seem to last that long. Especially when you're out somewhere. Since you'd planned what you're wearing you decide to take a nap and set an alarm for the time you need to get ready. Although Polly is singing VERY loudly in her bedroom you manage to block it out. Closing your eyes you drop off peacefully.
*BLEEEEEEEP… BLEEEEEEEEP….BLEEEE-*
The alarm is stopped by you frustratingly turning it off and then getting up and washing your face to wake yourself up from being half dead. Reality settles in and you check the time on the TV 8:30pm. You can get ready in that time. You go back to your room and put on your red, not short not long dress and your red heels. Slipping on your bracelet you decide to curl your hair and then apply your makeup. Time passes and its finally 9pm, the guests arrive and you welcome them. Polly comes downstairs in a very jolly mood, she's wearing a black dress with some black eyeliner and her hair straightened. Very simple but surprisingly it suits her. You pour some vodka shots for everyone and you all down them in seconds. The 10 of you start to shout 'wooah' and 'woo' or whatever noise comes from the reaction of the burn in their throats from the drink. You do many shots until around 3 taxi's arrive since the 10 of you won't fit in one (obviously). You all separate yourselves in groups and head to the city's top club. Once everyone is there you wait in line and few of you are stopped for ID but you get in since well, you're legal. You enter the club and the pounding music hits you and you start nodding your head to the beat along with your friends. You don't even hesitate to get to the bar and the rest follow.
After hours of endless drunk dancing and conversations you sit down and the rest of your friends are still somehow carrying on. You can see Pete and Polly are flirting a little bit, she did always have a thing for Australian men. You stare into the distance and observe all the people dancing around you and having a great time. Until you are disturbed by a voice.
"Ayyyyy!" he says.
"Oh hey Larry" you reply giving him a bright smile.
"How are you?" he shouts over the loud music.
"What?" you shout back since you can't hear him.
He repeats what he says and you say the exact same thing.
"Do you wanna go outside? We'll actually hear each other then and plus its packed." He shouts over the music again.
You nod your head and get up after him and then going outside.
"Thank god, we can actually hear eachother" he says in a slurred voice.. you're both tipsy, of course.
"Yeah, what did you say in there" you ask.
"Oh I was just asking how you were that's all"
"Oh immmm fine, you?"
"Im good too" he says back.
Theres an awkward pause until he starts to speak again.
"Listen- Piper" he says whilst looking the opposite direction to you.
"Yes?" you ask trying to get infront of him so he actually knows where you are.
"We both know that youu- you like me"
"Wh- what!" you start laughing hysterically.
"you want me" he says slurring again.
"Kiss me" he says pulling you towards him forcefully, you start to get serious now.
"NO! Larry get off me you god-damn creep!" you say with anger.
"Shut U-"
"GET OFF HER!" you hear a familiar voice shout.
The voice pushes him off you and throws him to the ground.
"Fucking turtle fucking faced fucking stupid fucking cunt" the voice says with complete anger.
You look at the voice. "A- Alex?" you say with full confusion.
"Piper, come with me I'm going to take you back home."
"But my friends, they're in there."
"Ill go and tell them what happened.. just get in my car" she says handing you the keys and turning around "And you… FUCKING stay away from her." Larry whimpers being the complete wuss he is.
