~•~(Julia's POV) ~•~
After the performance the party was decently fun. I tried to avoid Lisandro, but my eyes kept wandering over to him and some other girls dancing. 'I bet they're all sluts... ACK! Why am i jealous? Maybe his hair has magical properties or something.' I was jerked out of my thoughts as people began filing out. The flyer said it would end in three hours... Why was Karissa and Avery ushering people out now? I shrugged and pulled my phone out, about to call my mom for a ride but Avery stopped me. "You wouldn't want to miss the after party would you? It's VIP only." She said smirking. My gaze swept across the room, which had the eighth grade percussionists (gomennasai seventh graders!!! luv you guys too), my other friends in and not in band, and some people iv'e only seen in classes and in the halls. In short, there was an interesting variety of people remaining... including Lisandro and Tori. Uh. Stab me in the eye if we play truth or dare. Avery herded us to the huge media room, which had been cleared of furniture. Brian, Abby, and Camila came in with a bunch of snacks and drinks on a cart, which was instantly raided for the 'good stuff'. Karissa handed me a drink. It was clear and bubbly, so i assumed it was sprite or something of the sort, but it gave off a smell. It was barely there, just a tinge of something sketchy... Maybe i'm just paranoid, but once that liquid hit my throat I knew something was up. If I wasn't examining it so hard, I would have easily missed it. I checked to see if anyone was watching, and poured the drink into a house plant and strolled off. 'Meh. Never trust the off brand stuff.' Soon, Avery walked in the circle that formed when the food had arrived, and announced:
"Hey everyone!! We're gonna be playing seven minutes in heaven!!"
Some people cheered, others laughed, and a few smirked at their bae. 'This isn't going to end well is it...'

Avery went first and pulled a name out of the snapback. (Yes someone still wore those.) she read the slip and rolled her eyes. "Sean..." Some strangers herded the reluctant duo into the closet. At first I was trying to listen in on their conversation, but then my gaze caught on Lisandro and Camila across the room. He was frozen awkwardly, as Camila was dry humping him. Ok then. Tori had left to the bathroom a few minutes before th- Oh my gosh is she feeling his nipples through the shirt now? Suddenly Tori walked in and started laughing at the scene. Lisandro tried to shove her off but she stubbornly clung on. 'I guess this is typical Camila behaivor then?' I didn't notice the phone timer go off and someone yanked the door open, to reveal Sean and Avery kissing. They both blushed terribly and walked out. Many poking fun at them along the way.

A boy named Michael went next, picking a slip. He skimmed the words, and blushed. Avery ran up and grabbed it before he could stop her. She smiled in victory. "OTP time!! Hey Karissa! You and Michael. Alone. In a dark, small, seeeeclluuuuuded room!" I hadn't met Michael before. Well, I guess i'll meet everyone here eventually. I laughed as the two, blushing wrecks were pushed into the closet. Once again, Lisandro was being sexually harrassed. This time by Camila and Tori, both laughing really hard as Lisandro was frozen with the awkwardness of it all. Avery handed him a drink that looked similar to the one I had earlier and the girls stopped touching him everywhere and just began casually chatting while Lisandro hugged himself, shivered, and began drinking the beverage. The familiar alarm 'bing'ed and Avery threw open the door. (Almost hitting someone else in the face.) Everyone 'ooh'ed at the sight before them. Michael was on top of Karissa, and it looked like he had tripped in the darkness and fell onto her, but, with Avery, it obviously looked like a lot more. They stumbled out, embarrassed, and sat back in their spots.

I sat amused as three more couples spent seven minutes in hell- I mean heaven. Then it was my turn.
I grapped a slip from the hat.
'I swear if it's Lisandro...'
I took my time unfolding it, fearing one name and one name only.
'Of all the people in this room. Anyone but him. Even a girl for crying out loud! Just enyone except...'
It opened, revealing my bad luck.
"Lisandro."
Everyone 'woo'ed deviously. 'Of course. What did I expect? Fate is cruel lately..." Avery and Karissa piled me and Lisandro into the closet and the door slammed close. The room wasn't as big as it seemed from the outside. There was a bin, presumably a trashcan, in the corner. As our eyes adjusted, he noticed it and said, "Hey~. It's close enough to a towel bin. Like that time you-" But I cut him off, leaning in. "Never speak of it." He smirked, and suddenly pushed me back against the opposite wall, his hands on either side of my head. "L-Lisandro? What are you...?" I held my breath as he leaneed in, his head resting on my shoulder. Suddenly, I caught a familiar scent. Barely there, like last time. I cupped his head in my hands and moved his face so we were looking right at each other. I observed him carefully in the darkness. His demeanor seemed a little off, more relaxed and horomonally driven. And that smell... Suddenly everything clicked. The drinks, me and him were the only two that had gotten that clear bubbly liquid (trust me, I had that much spare time to check people's drinks.) And that scent, was alchohol. 'Someone spiked me and his drinks specifically. Why? And Who?' My thoughts were interrupted. "Hey Julia. You're really pretty." 'So wait a minute. Lisandro was drunk. In this closet. Alone. With me. OH NO HELP MEH JESEUS.' And as if living up to my fears, Lisandro leaned forward and closed the gap between us and our lips met in a kiss. 'W-WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?!?!' Then, the door burst open, and basically everyone was gathered around the door to see inside. He pulled away, smirked at me, then walked out. I followed soon behind, and everyone in the room watched us before finally settling back in there spots. By then, some parents had began showing up, and as usual, my mom was one of the first cars in front. As I got in, even in the dark my mom could tell I was nervous. "Soooooo Juuuuliaaaaa. What happened with that previously mentioned booooooy?" I flinched in shock. 'how did you- uh... fine. we're friends. Nothing more. Besides, he has a girlfriend so why would he just ditch her for me I mean, I just met him and- I'm ranting aren't I?" She smirked and nodded. "As long as you're still a virgin honey."
"MOM. PLS."
She laughed and we drove home.
~•~•~•~
As I setlled in bed for the night, and the day's events played over and over in my head. And I felt my face heat up when I thought about the kiss. 'The kiss... OH MY GOSH THAT WAS MY FIRST KISS!!! AND HE WAS FREAKING DRUNK TOO!!! WWHHHYYYYYYYY???!!!'
