Just Two Kids Stupid and Fearless
The Times we Felt Alive
Riley
When we walked (wobbled) into Jack’s house wearing our heels, the scent of alcohol hit me like a wave.
“Is it too late to turn back and go home?” I asked, Cass grabbed my wrist like she would run back to her car with me. She was designated driver, even though the only drunk person in the car will be Haley. Haley pushed us inside, and I looked around at Jack’s house. It seemed like such a sweet little home, at least it used to be before the lights were dimmed, colorful lights were brightening up the place. I hope nobody here has a seizure… Electronic music was blaring from the living room, and glow sticks and red solo cups already trashed the floor. There was a giant crowd already here, and the party just started 15 minutes ago.
“Ri!” Cass exclaimed, her boyfriend walked up to her with an amazed expression on his face.
“Cass, you look gorgeous…” he stared at her body in the tight blue body con dress. Aww. Cass kissed her boyfriend, I wish I could take a picture but that would be awkward. They are the cutest couple I’ve ever met.
Haley tugged me toward the bar, I tried to pull back but I was weak in these heels. Not surprised, we found Jack and Alex, mixing up some concoction of liquor in a plastic cup, and Jack making Alex drink it.
“No! I want it!” Haley cried, grabbing the cup from Alex’s lips and chugged it down. She’s going to end up throwing up, good thing she’s not wearing any of my clothes. I smiled at Alex, who looked over, pissed at us that we stole his drink and spilled a little on his grey shirt, but when he realized it was us his face lightened up.
“DAMN.” Jack shouted, obviously drunk already.
“I told you they would already be drunk.” Haley giggled.
“Fuck, Riley…” Alex breathed, holding one of my hands in his, and holding it up so he could get a better look of my dress. My face probably matched the color of my dress, I couldn’t contain my embarrassed flushed cheeks. He dragged me away to the kitchen, that had less people in it, and more food. He turned around and stared at me again.
“Hi Lex,” I giggled.
“You’re literally the most beautiful person on the planet, you know that right?” He slurred, and wrapped an arm around my waist and pulled me close to him. What? No way.
“You are very drunk, I see.” I said, taking his drink from his other hand and putting it on the counter.
“Baby, it’s true! Nobody else is as beautiful as you-”
“Your girlfriend is.” I interrupted him, before he said anything else. He has no idea what he is saying, he’s wasted. He would not be saying this to me if he was sober, he probably thinks I’m Amber. But, my heart fluttered when he called me “baby.” That is so cute.
“Come dance with me,” he changed the subject, and was now dragging me toward the crowd of people.
“No, no, no, no, no. I don’t dance.” I protested, tensing up as we were now surrounded by drunk, sweaty teenagers.
“With that ass? Hell yeah, you can dance baby. Especially with me.” he slurred, took a step closer so our bodies pressed together. I smiled at my new nickname, even though I was still very uncomfortable, and I could smell the beer in his breath. He wouldn’t say this if he was sober, and he is barely making sense. He isn’t thinking straight at all. I’m sure he thinks I’m Amber…
“You don’t know what you’re saying, Lex. I gotta go.” I mumbled, he whined as I wriggled away from his grasp, even though there was no place I would rather be.
“Noooooo, Riley!” He whined, still holding onto my hand. He knew I wasn’t Amber?
“I will see you later, Lexy.” I promised, and walked away.
The party seemed to be lasting forever, I really wasn’t enjoying any of it. I had a strawberry lemonade vodka that Jack made for me, that I was occasionally sipping on. I didn’t want to look like a total loser with no drink, and it tasted really good. I was in the corner with Rian and Cass, third wheeling like usual, but I didn’t mind. None of us were partiers, unlike Jack and Haley who were making out on the dance floor, completely drunk.
“Do you think they will remember this tomorrow?” I asked.
“Nope, but I will take a picture so they will.” Rian laughed, and took out his phone.
“They are made for each other, but are both to stubborn to admit their feelings for one another. I sure hope they remember this, so they can finally stop being idiots and be a couple.” Cass said.
“Haley has always had issues with being tied down to someone.” I explained.
“Same with Jack, I’ll never be sure if he will be able to commit to a girl.” Rian said.
I was about to go on the with conversation, when I stopped Amber and Alex. Yay, my favorite couple. My heart dropped as I realized they were heavily making out on the couch, Alex was on top of her, hand on her boob and everything. Why is nobody else seeing this? Why hasn’t anyone complained? Should I complain? I don’t want to see my guy I’m in love with seconds away from undressing his girlfriend. I don’t know what I expected when I came here, I guess I just hoped I wouldn’t see it while it was happening. At least have the decency of going into another room. Fuck, I wish I was her right now. I brought my drink to my lips and drank the rest of it, I felt the alcohol burn the back of my throat.
“Riley, you shouldn’t drink that much. Have you ever even drank before?” Cass asked me gently, being able to tell something was wrong.
“Nope!” I said, popping the ‘p’, and getting up to get more. I saw Zack for the first time tonight, and quickly wobbled my way over to him.
“Zack! Get me more!” I exclaimed, grabbing onto his muscled arm in urgency.
“Uh, you sure Riley? This might not taste strong, but it has a lot of alchohol in it.”
“More!!!” I demanded. His eyebrows raised in surprise, but made my drink the same way Jack did. As soon as he handed it to me, I pressed the cups to my lips and drank half of it. This will make me forget about Alex, and Luke.
I didn’t really remember what I did the rest of that night. I think I got Cass drunk too, danced with Haley, and I danced with Jack and Zack. I didn’t think about or see Alex the rest of the night.
