"Reality is a clutch for people who can't cope with drugs."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~.~~~~~~~~~~~
Rebellion hung heavy in the air around me
Bodies twirled, glasses clinked, and a choking smell drifted through the thick atmosphere
The smell of everything your parents warned you against in a nutshell
Tonight was promised to be freedom, but all I saw were a bunch of low life people wasting away their life
The music was deafening
Permanently scarring my very particular brain
I stand amidst the crowd, distinguished carefully
Definitely not in the party mood tonight
I didn't quite fit in;
I dressed the total opposite of what these people adorned;
I thought differently than they did
And most importantly,
I acted way more mature than these people who were allegedly my age
That's why I didn't belong here,
Didn't belong here....
The alarm on my phone reminds me it's midnight, a decent time to be leaving
I searched through the hormone induced crowd,
Desperately attempting to find my friends but anxiety quickening with each step
My friends
The jerkwads who lugged me here tonight
Well, they ditched me
Clear as day
I couldn't find them outside in the backyard, buried in the throng of people dancing to this garbage music
I couldn't find them in the front yard
Where dozens of blazed out couples stood, or laid
Kissing passionately
Some of them doing more
But all of them obviously messed up on more than just hemp
I knew they'd regret waking up next to the person they were with right now in the morning
But then again, if trash wakes up next to trash, do they really mind, since they both stink anyway? (ha)
Mean, but my instinct told me to stay far away from those who had the ability to peer pressure me in any way
But I couldn't worry about them, had to find my friends first
Checked inside the house and nearly got puke on my new black flats on the porch
Tonight I had worn a medium-length red dress with a black jacket to hide the dress straps
It wasn't slutty
It was attractive
But clearly not to these people
Some gawked at my attire
But when they did I simply turned my head away
I didn't need to impress garbage, since it would be taken out soon anyway (yikes, sorry)
I finally reached the door, after having to shove a bunch of sleazy couples out of the way
I yanked it open, and instantly saw that none of them were in the living room
Or should I call it the grinding room?
The grungy DJ, or some kid in a Lego Movie t-shirt, changed the song to something popular
Because suddenly everybody cheered, whooped and hollered
And began to dance even more uncontrollably than before
I covered my ears up with my hands, trying to block out the horrifying rap song
A few dance fights broke out
So I took my opportunity to make a run for it to another room in the crowded house
And soon enough
I just happened to open the right door because there sitting in a circle with a bong in the middle
Were my friends that I had come here with
They all looked up in surprise
Then greeted me
My friends Stacey, Sarah and Cassie all rushed up to hug me
Tripping along the way and giggling like school girls
They were messed up
Cassie held me out at arms link to somehow "introduce" me to the other half dozen
Drugged-out potheads sitting in the circle
Who didn't give me the slightest attention until Cassie blurted out
"Guys, this is Eve, she's going to join our private party!"

Hope you guys enjoyed the first chapter, let me just say it's very hard to write about a girl completely opposite from myself. I'm not prude or stuck up like she is, but don't hate her character yet! You'll learn her story soon enough(:
I need vote and comments if you want me to continue, loves <3
