*Alarm buzzes loudly*

"Shit!" I mutter under my breath.

I pulled out my phone, knowing that I'd probably be late to work. It starts ringing.

"Hello?"

"Amber?!"

"Let me guess, you want me to come get you?"

"How'd you know?"

"Don't play dumb with me, we've been doing this almost every morning since I don't know when. One of these days, you'll have to get yourself a car because I'm not gonna drive you around forever."

"Yeah you're right. But until then, you'll be my own personal chauffeur." I smiled.

"You're gonna have to pay me, then."

"Fiiiiine."

Amber and I finally got to my job. I still had half an hour to spare.

Thank God for Amber.

As the minutes got closer to 10:00 am, I was dreading ever coming to work. I wanted to quit, but where would I find another job?

The shift was long and drawn out. But thank God it was almost over.

McKenzie and Amber had the bright idea of taking me out to the club tonight. I needed a drink.

The music blasted as we walked through the club on our way to the bar, each of us taking our seats.

          "Three strawberry daiquiris, please." McKenzie calls out to the bartender.

"Make that two, I just want a sprite." I smile at the bartender, then stare daggers into McKenzie's direction. "One of us HAS to be the sober friend. You two clearly aren't going to be that friend."

"How responsible of you" she says, giving me a cheeky grin before starting to drink.

Hours pass, and the idea of driving these two idiots home is starting to sound more appealing. They're having so much fun, and I'm starting to hate being the sober one.

Amber and McKenzie were soon on the dance floor while I sat at the bar, watching them from a distance. I sigh and turn around.

"Long night?" A guy said, sitting next to me. "Just about; I'm just ready to go home. What about you, mister...uh..." "Weston. Liam Weston. Me and my friends are just in the States for a few days.

He points to his friends in one of the booths. "On the left is Jasper, then Eli, Matt, and Josh. Jasper waved at us with a shot in the other hand, and Eli looked as if he was gonna pass out any minute. "My friends McKenzie and Amber are right over there." I point where Amber is grinding all on some random dude while Amber's taking shots. "I'm Zoey, by the way."
