Sold Out Dates (A Euphoria Story Pt. I)

Sold Out Dates (A Euphoria Story)

         Like most Saturday nights before a party would begin, I check myself out in front of the bathroom mirror to make sure the outfit is on point. The black T-shirt and red flannel to go with the charcoal skinny jeans topped off with the black and red Yeezys to complete the wavy vibes. This is about the 3rd outfit I've tried on tonight and I'm going with it, I just hope it was the right one. I do one final check of my hair to make sure it's right. My hair has been growing for about 6 months now and I finally did something with it. I got the sides and back cut but left the top alone and I got it dreaded. After that, I went ahead and dyed half of it blonde and left the other side black. I kind of look like some dope ass anime character, at least that's what someone told me on Snapchat. I check myself one last time just for safety. Tonight is a special night for me, everything has to be perfect as I'm going to this party to see Lexi Howard. Lexi is the girl who has my heart and doesn't even know it. I met her through my best friend Chris Mckay who just so happens to be dating her sister Cassie Howard. Chris and Cassie met towards the end of last year, Chris' senior year. They hit it off well and had been "talking," for some time before they made things official. One day, a Friday evening If I'm not mistaken, Chris invited me bowling and surprise surprise, they brought her sister Lexi. From the first time we spoke, I knew I had to get to know her more. Her beauty could never be matched in my eyes and I feel as though she's the only other person who gets me. Someone who accepts me for who I am. Ever since then we've been friends but tonight I have plans to tell her how I feel so I want to look the best I've ever looked.

I walk out of the bathroom and into my bedroom where I spend the majority of my time. When you walk into my room you'll immediately feel like you're in a room which would be described as an "Aesthetic,". The dark tan walls have Polaroid pictures of random nature shots and of my friends, the few that I have. Alongside it are my various posters of films which are accompanied by my cluttered desk. The desk also has Polaroids that I haven't posted on the wall as well as homework that I've yet to complete and my camera which is next to my 3 lenses.

I flop on the bed and pick up my phone to open the Uber app to get myself a ride. I've never been to this house before and I am not walking all the way there. I put in the address someone sent me and now I wait as "Yuri," comes to pick me up in his black Ford Focus. The second I put it down, a vibrate joined with a bell catches my attention. I pick it up to see a text from "Lexi," with three heart eyes emojis next to it.

Lexi: Hey, are you still coming to the party?

Me: Yeah I'm omw now, I'm like not that far away

Lexi: "Not that far away," or "I haven't left the house yet,"??

Me: Lol okay you got me, my Uber is on the way tho so I'll be there soon

Lexi: Mhmm you know you suck at lying lol

Me: Only with you Lex *Smirking Emoji*

My phone dings again telling me my Uber is here.

Me: Uber's here now, should be there soon

I grab a hoodie from the closet and head downstairs to be met by abrupt laughter of two people. When I get to the bottom of the stairs I soon realize the noise is coming from the living room where my Mom and Randall, my soon to be Stepfather, are sitting on the dark grey couch watching some reality show and drinking wine, how classy.

              "Mom I'm heading out," I call out to her as I try and quickly leave.

"Hey, hang on a sec," Mom says to me, cutting me just short of opening the door. She gets up from the couch and walks towards me. "You gonna be out late?"
