"Crop top and leggings." Vic says throwing the clothing at me.
"Okie dokie."
"Poor Mickey... He isn't going to be able to stay calm with you there!" She cackles while I'm changing.
"Aw, shut up!" I say, rolling my eyes.
"You excited to see your prince charming?"
"Just get you ass in the car."
She bows, as she is laughing at me.
"Time to get drunk!" And now it is my turn to laugh.
Soon after, we arrive
"I'm ready to get my drink on!"
"Grab me one too, kay?"
"Gotcha!"
The DJ turns up the music, and I start to move to the beat. Not full on dancing. You don't do that unless you're wasted. Just shifting with the rhythm checking your phone, posting pictures.
Few minutes later, Vic came back with the drinks... and her boyfriend.
Now, don't be thinking, 'What's the big deal? It's the last day of high school. She just wants to spend time with him.' His name is Erik, and he isn't the best influence. Or the nicest guy. Or a loyal guy. 'Then why does Victoria sty with him?' Good question. She says "he gets her". And being with him doesn't mean she has to be loyal if she doesn't want to. I know right. Healthy relationship. He is tall, with short curly hair, and a lot of tattoos. Oh, and he owns a gang. Yep. Vic has great taste.
"Hey Erik." I say to break the silence.
"Hey... Tessa..." He drags out the words as his eyes trace my body. Nothing unusual.
"Hey perve. Eyes up here."
"Apologies..." Erik says with a smirk.
"Knock it off." Vic says as she punches him in the arm.
"Sure... I'll see you later. I'm gonna find the boys." He says as they kiss. Ick! Then he winks at me (again nothing unusual) and walks off.
I don't know why you stay with him."
"Yes you do."
"Not a real reason. Plenty of people could understand you if you gave them a chance."
"Like you?" She says making a kissy face.
"Sorry babe! Only in your dreams."
"My dreams..." She says making a humping motion at my hip.
"Don't tell Erik." I laugh and shove her off me.
She winks. "He cheats, I cheat."
I roll my eyes. "You say that, but he always does and you never do."
"Yeah, oh well."
"This got depressing..."
"Yep. TIME TO GET DRUNK!"
"Let's go find the keg! Since you boyfriend drank ours."
We walk to the homemade bar in the back, and guess who's there making the drinks. You guessed, Mickey.
"Hey Tessa! What'll be?"
"THE STRONGEST SHIT YOU HAVE!" Vic screams.
"Whatever you giving her." I yell over the music.
"Two drinks comin' right up!" Mickey says with a wink.
Cut the act. I'm not interested in anything you can give, but those drinks." I snapped. You think after like 3-4 years of that he could take a hint.
"That's what they all say until it's time to go to 'bed'." He says with quotation marks.
"Ew! Just give us the drinks." Vic shrieks with a gagging motion. Then glances down, and smirks. "Judging by your feet leave disappointed... Thanks for the drinks!" She links arms with me and we walk away laughing. I sneak a look back and see Mickey's face turning red, and trying to hid his feet.
