She was a monster,

a Gorgon,

generally described as a winged human female

with living venomous snakes in place of hair.

Those who gazed upon her face would turn to stone.

She's Medusa.

I wasn't sure what I'd expect from a party, but it certainly wasn't this;

The Peterson's living room was packed with guests -- mostly from our school. They cheered and chatted away in excitement as the place gradually heated up with their boisterous activities.

Someone swaggered towards me. He bumped my shoulder before hitting the wall head-on and falling limp to the ground.

I take it back. This is definitely a party.

Hunter wasn't joking about making a thrilling event. I stirred my plastic cup and looked at the Apple juice. It had a weird orange color. I shrugged and took a sip. Not a second later, I spat it back into the cup.

It tasted like Vodka.

Who adds Vodka to apple juice?

I sighed and glanced around the room, trying to find Liam but there was no sign of him. Maybe he wasn't the party type.

I kept my search and found Dimitri playing pool with another classmate at the opposite end. A few people converged to take a look at the game. There was a score and they all cheered. Dimitri hooted louder than the others.

He was the game nerd in the school and is mostly claimed the winner for all of them. Hunter had tried to compete with him most at times but Dimitri keeps winning the bet.

I glanced somewhere else and caught something surprising.

On one of the sofas in the living room was Liam and beside him was Phyllis; Hunter's stalker. Her dark hair with pink strips fell down her shoulders. She gave a good laugh at something Liam said and pressed against his side, her pink skirt gradually riding up her thigh as they conversed in low tones.
