Chap 4- Gettin Crunk

AN- Sorry, I kinda feel that I must clarify the whole Marissa baby thing. I kinda forgot that you guys weren't there and so I just assumed you knew the deal. Alright, well Marissa is a whore as is my personal Marissa. Harsh but true. See Marissa has dated MANY guys and has slept with even more. Johnny was her boyfriend at the time, but even before they broke up there was this guy Luke, oh yes she slept with him. So she got pregnant by a guy she was "in love with" but he had already impregnated some other girl and thus she was kicked to the curve and forced to have and abortion. Hopefully that'll clear some things up…sorry again for not letting you guys know the deal before.

I've now been at Berkeley for about a month. It's Friday and of course I am at Marissa and Summer's house, I don't even know if these girls have real jobs, they seem to be around me a lot. I mean, we've been up and down town at all hours of the day and yet I've seen them go to work maybe twice. Not the point though. Yup, I've been hangin with them more and more with everyday. I don't get why, I'm really the exact opposite of them and yet it seems like they cant get enough of me, I am loveable so I really shouldn't be that surprised. Ok, so other than the eating, sleeping and excessive watching of Friends that has been going on we've really bonded we've told each other secrets and shared stories. Their favorite has to be the one where it was Thanksgiving like two years ago and my mother asked me to clean the turkey, and I used dish soap. I know, laugh, and get it out, out? Good. This is Summer's favorite story of all time, she feels the need to tell any one who meets me the story and she even told her mother whom I have never met. But yeah, do you see the closeness?

So like I said, it's Friday and I'm at their apartment, again, watching Friends. I'm sure Marissa wants to punch us in the face for all the Friends quotes we've been throwing around, but c'mon could it BE funnier?

Any way, I'm here sitting on a couch and Marissa and Summer are at another one when Marissa exclaims that she is bored of watching Friends, which Sum and I think is impossible.

"C'mon guys it's Saturday night and where are we? At home watching Friends."

"What do you wanna do then?" Asks Summer who puts it on Pause.

"I was thinking we could finally get Lex here drunk."

"YEAH!"

"Ha no, how about we don't get me drunk." See I've never been drunk. I know I know, being from Newport, how is that possible but its true. I've always been a good girl without being a goody two shoes.

"Yeah, come on its college, this is what were suppose to do. Don't you agree Summer?"

"Yeah, come on. I wanna see you drunk. I can call Matt; he can get party with us."
I guess the matter was settled and no matter what I did nothing could stop them from calling Matt, Matt of course brought his friend David who was…well not attractive. Before I know it, the guys are here and I'm on the couch with some coke and rum which I'm barely drinking.

"Lex, come one! You have to drink"

"I have Marissa, calm down. See coke and rum."

"You've taken like two sips!"
"Still drinking."

All of the sudden I see Summer pulling out the shot glasses.

"Come on Lex.!" Summer whines. Then Marissa begins to whine and I just cant take it anymore. I take a shot. For my one shot the guys have taken 4 shots so they're pretty fucked up. Three shots later I'm chillin in a chair finally starting to feel it.

"I feel…awkward. Wow, weird." Now everybody's laughing at me and I of course have to make it worse.

"How you feelin?" asks Mike or Matt or whatever I can't remember his name.

"Awkward, it's like you guys are moving full speed but I'm moving super slow." At this Summer laughs semi-drunkenly.

"How?"

"Um, well like my motor skills are off." I think I'm slurring but I can't tell, I'm pretty sure 'cuz they're laughing at me and not I think I said something really funny but I don't know what. I start laughing hysterically then so do they.

Anyway, I don't remember how but somehow Marissa and I end up outside smoking a cigarette. I spot a party across the yard from Marissa's.

"Who are they?"

"I don't know I've never met them, my neighbors I guess."

"They look our age, let's go introduce ourselves." I don't think I'll ever get tired of hearing her laugh but right now I'm too concentrated with getting down the steps. I feel Marissa hold onto me and help me down the stairs. I thank every God imaginable for allowing me to keep my mouth shut so I won't say anything inappropriate. I'm also thankful I didn't just smell her hair. So we make it, finally, to her neighbors. They were having a party too so they invited us in. I have to pee, a lot! When I get out I down a Bud Light and say my goodbyes. Again Marissa has to help me down the stairs and back up them when we get to her apartments. I barely step into the apartment when I need to pass out. I pass over Summer and what's his name and head straight for the bed.

'Wow, room spinning, yes. Indeed.'

A few minutes pass when I feel some body else sink into the bed, somehow I automatically know it's Marissa and I'm about to roll over when I feel someone else sink onto the bed, David and her begin to kiss. Even in my drunken state I know that this sucks and I can't ignore the noises coming from the two of them. I get up, grab a blanket and walk out into the living room where Summer and who ever he is are having sex, I cant see anything but I know that's what's happening. So I once again get my belongings and head on out to the balcony, it's kinda cold out here, but oh well. I lay my head on the pillow and pull the cover up to me, I've just gotten comfortable but apparently my bladder hates me so I have to pee again. I stumble my way to the bathroom and I chance a glance into the room and I see Mr. David on the floor and my Marissa on the bed sleeping. I still have to pee so that takes precedence but as soon as I finish I gather my belongings and make my way back into the room where the room resumes its spinning.

I wake up maybe two hours later and notice that David is gone; I also notice that Summer is making her way into the room.

"Hi."

"Hey, hung over?"

"Nope, I don't think so anyway, just a little tired."

"Good for you." Marissa startled me since I didn't notice her wake up. Summer joins us on the bed and we begin 'girl talk'.

"Why did you leave me alone with David last night?"

"'Cuz I didn't wanna be around for the sex."

"Gross, I wasn't gonna have sex with him. We were just kissing; he got mad when I pushed him away so he slept on the floor."

"Oh well, whatever I came back. I know someone had sex though." Man, Summer can turn red.

"Shut up! I've known him forever so it's not that bad."

"Whatever" A smirk is firmly planted on my face.

"Alright, well we better get ready for work."

"No way! Ms. Cooper and Ms. Roberts go to work. It must be some sort of horrible sign!"

"Shut up! Get dressed."

"Oh I like it when you get forceful on me Ms. Cooper, ma'am."

"Hey, are you guys picking me up tonight too?"

"Of course, like we'd let you stay home."

I'm not sure if I'm upset with Marissa for kissing David or if I'm excited about seeing her tonight, whatever.

"Hey, have you guys seen my headphones?" Where are they?

AN- again, thx for the comments, I like them and you guys should keep them coming, please . Alright, that last sentence will make sense later, and I'm still mad about that!!! Anyway, I hope I cleared up some things about Marissa and hopefully that helps you understand the story more alright well what are you waiting for? Comment!
