I put my phone in my shorts' back pocket so as not to risk losing it again, not thinking about the fact that my clothes were all still wet from the pool in the moment, and started to look for my friends, wondering where they were.
Maya did agree on needing a drink, so I thought she'd probably be in the kitchen. I didn't find her at first, though.
"Want me to pour you one?" some blonde girl next to me asked, nodding towards the bottle in her hand.
"Sure, thanks" I smiled, handing her my cup.
"No problem" she smiled back. "Wanna dance?"
Before I could even reply I heard Maya's voice coming from behind me.
"She's taken" she said, walking next to me.
"Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to-" the girl mumbled, visibly embarrassed as she walked away.
"Maya!" I glared at her.
"What? That's the truth"
"I know, but you made it seem as if we're together"
"At least she went away"
"I don't know why people keep approaching me like that today" I gulped down half of my drink.
"Probably 'cause you look hot, Ellie. Hope that helps" she shrugged, also drinking most of the content of her cup.
"Stop" I giggled, feeling slightly embarrassed.
"Just accept the compliment" she chuckled. "We need to find Sarah and Mei soon, people are gonna start leaving in a while"
That last half an hour was also kind of a blur, I only remembered lots of loud music and dancing and feeling a little too lightheaded, but not really caring. It felt so liberating to just think about having fun in that moment and nothing else.
By the time we walked to the front garden, groups of people were starting to leave, as Maya predicted. The temperature had definitely dropped, and the fact that both the few clothes I was wearing and my hair were still damp didn't help.
