After a while we arrive to the place and Cook is stopped by the bouncer immediately
"Not coming in" he says
"Why not?"
"Private party. Plus underage. Plus don't like look of you. Not coming in."God now Cook is probably going to do something stupid
"Listen to me, robot." Cook starts,yeah this isn't starting well "You may rank way above me in terms of strength and size, but at least I can love. Now can you let me in?" He continues
"Not coming in"
"Listen, fate has brought me here. Do you understand? You're not letting fate in the club. It's not like fate is wearing trainers. Fate just wants a couple of drinks, a little dance. And fate is actually also desperate for the toilet. Now can we come in?" At this point Cook is desperate
"How about you fսck off?" Oh god
"How about you're a fսcking cock? I'll fսck¡ng break your fսcking face, mate!"
"Cook" I warn him.I mean yeah I do want to go to a proper party but not if someone gets beaten up...at least not someone I know
"What?" The bouncer says
"I said I'll break your fucking face"
"You'll get your fսcking head kicked in here! Come on!" Freddie saves the day, he's probably the only one who thinks straight
"He's right,come on let's find another place"I add
"Fucking prick!" Effy says
"Not the first one you met babe" I reply
"Just chill out,yeah?" Freddie tells Cook
"I don't think he's gonna let us in" "Yeah Naomi,no shit"
"Nah he's just an obstacles, we're meant to go to this party.Fate will sort it.Just wait"
"Doesn't seem like it"
As I say this two girls come out of the club
"Freddie? What the fuck are you doing here?" the one in the pink dress says. Who is she now?
"Hi,Karen" Freddie greets her. Ohh it's his sister
"You can't come in it's private" Karen says
"Don't be like that,sis. Its Cook's birthday"
"Unless you got drugs,fuck off,and take your friends with you"
"Oh,come on" me and Cook say at the same time "I'll make it up to you I promise" he continues sticking his tongue out. Gross.
"Yeah.Look,it's not my decision it's her party" Karen says nodding to the other girl in the yellow dress "I'm getting married" she says
"Oh,congratulations" he replies and then proceeds to kiss her,the fuck?Effy scoffs and everyone is kind of disgusted.
"Will you let us in?" Cook asks
"Well,there is a pretty strict dress code" the girl says
"How strict exactly?" Cook asks again taking out of his pocket a baggie of I don't even know which drug.
We manage to get in the club,it's shitty. Clearly we all had a different idea of party than what we found inside.
"When she said party-" Freddie started
"You thought she meant more of an acid-fueled sex rave without the mancunians" Katie continued
"This is more like"JJ goes on
"Jelly and ice cream" I finish the sentence.
The party indeed was shit,the only thing making it better was the free champagne.
We see Cook getting approached by a man who I didn't see clearly but seems the Dad of the future bride. Just as the man walked away, I immediately understand who he is: that's Johnny White.
"What's the fuss?" asks Emily
"He's Johnny White,the gangster" Effy answers
"Yeah. Legend" Cook adds. Not much if he threatens you,Cook
"He murdered nuns over a Guinness" Freddie says. I remember hearing that a couple months ago
"Allegedly" the blonde adds
"He stabbed a policeman with a stuffed guillemot" JJ says. How the fuck is that even possible?
"That's not true,it was a puffin"
We all look around a bit confused and concerned.
That until Cook breaks the silence
"So who's in for narcotics?"
A lot of us agree,including me of course, followed by an hesitant Panda
"What?" me and Effy say a bit shocked
"I've decided I love drugs" Panda answers happily
"Whatever makes you happy" I respond shrugging
We all get to the bathroom,passing each other the baggie Cook had given us and snorting it.
While Cook is explaining what this is to Karen,I'm not bothered enough to listen as long as it gets me high.
Cooks then passes the baggie to Pandora who proceeds in stuffing her mouth with all of the remaining drug. I can't help but giggle and laugh at this,and most of all at her face when someone told her she wasn't supposed to do that.Me and Effy laugh at each other already feeling a bit high. Karen is upset but I don't even wanna hear it,we just head outside and grab a glass of that champagne.
We start dancing and I don't have a care in the world, I'm feeling extremely light and dancing makes it even better.
FREDDIE'S POV
I glance at Trish dancing,I can't take my eyes off her, since the first day of college I've felt like I should talk to her more often if I really want to get to her,but it seems impossible. I reach Cook and JJ near the bar
"Freddie we gotta get this man some drugs" JJ exclaims
"Why?" I ask,the hell does he need that for right now now?
"Do the look"JJ says to Cook who does the worst impression of what is supposed to be seductive
"What does that mean?"
"It means I'm getting laid tonight"
god how selfish he is
"Please,not Kayleigh. Think of me and JJ. You're not fucking her. I thought you liked Effy"
he's totally going to spoil the party,or whatever this shit is
"She's a peach.But I've already tapped that,top dollar shag. Oh and her friend as well,nice tits. They're my last resort. A sure thing I reckon." What? Him and Trish?I mean I understood about Effy,but Trish?
"You shagged Trish?"
"Oh,come on Freds."
"When?" I ask
"Like a week before college started in the bathroom of a random club"
"Why didn't you tell us?"
no really, if he fucked someone we know why didn't he talk about it?
"Apart from those times when my cock is up your arse,you have no reason to worry about where it is the rest of the time"
Asshole
"But...JJ likes her"
He seems to have a thing both for Trish and for Effy,that's a good excuse
"I was going to ask her out,I mean, she seemed like she liked me" poor JJ adds
"You snooze you loose,dude. Anyway I got a snake in my dick that's about to throw up" Cook responds walking away,JJ is clearly sad but follows Cook while I stay at the bar.
I glance at the girl and we lock eyes,she smirks and the goes back to dancing with her friends. I think it's the moment to go and talk to her,but as soon as I reach the dance floor the music's interrupted by a man.
It really is impossible.
ASTRID'S POV
The music me,Effy and Panda were dancing on is cut off so Johnny can give a speech about his daughter and her marriage
"So. My daughter's getting married and she couldn't have chosen a nicer bloke - Steve Heston. Unfortunately, Steve couldn't attend today without violating the terms of his probation. He couldn't be here himself, but he is well represented by members of his family. Welcome, Hestons. No more rucks.
No more knives. No more pliers. We're gonna be tight as a badger's bum. The Whites and the Hestons brought together in the marriage bed, still fucking each other, but in a good way. Come up here,sweetheart. You've kept yourself pure for so long for this task of peace. In times of strife, you've lit up my life, and now you're gonna be Steve's wife. And I just want to say...Doesn't she look a picture? I could just eat her. Right, charge your glasses with free booze, and raise them. Kayleigh and Steve."
Who's gonna tell him she isn't anywhere near pure?Anyway...
Afterwards we all go back to dancing and this time the boys are near us and not at the bar,but they're not dancing. I barely notice what's happening near me until Cook gets up on the stage
"What is he doing now?" Effy asks
"Is he gonna sing?" I ask a bit concerned
"Yeah" Freddie answers concerned as well
"Ladies and gentlemen I'd like to dedicate it to a very special lady" we all cheer as Cook starts to sing "Funky such" of Bob Smith.
As he does it he goes among the crowd and kisses Kayleigh's hand,and that surely upsets Johnny who is already killing him with his only stare. At the end of the song,as we all clap, Johnny goes to Cook,knocks over the chair he was stranded on and smashes a bottle in his face.
In doing so the gangster pushed Freddie making him fall over and I immediately get to him
"You okay?" I ask helping him up
"Yes,thanks,but we should kinda be concerned about that fucker over there" he says pointing at his friend who was being brought god knows where.Me and Freddie follow him.
"...Her tits were mint" is the first the we hear getting to our friend and Johnny immediately hits him
"Mr...mr White" Freddie starts "I...he's very sorry,I'll take him home.And we're leaving.We don't want to upset your beautiful daughter anymore"
"You're right.She is beautiful.It's your lucky day.Let him go" he says to the one holding him over the balcony.But they're so stupid they literally let him go,dropping him
Cook lands on the cake and on some of the guest of the other family
"Look at my tracksuit,you weasely little prick" one of them says
"What did you say?" asks Johnny
"You're a weasely cunting prick"
"You fucking hobbit"
"And we all fucked your daughter,haven't we lads?"
"What did you fucking say?" Johnny then jumps off the fence and lands on the other starting a fight. In seconds it gets bigger and bigger, it turns into a food fight and cake is everywhere.
Me and Freddie quickly get down getting everyone else,lastly Cook who was laughing.
We all start running away and it may be the drugs or the adrenaline or both but I can't stop laughing while Freddie's dragging me holding my hand because I was last.
We arrive at a tunnel after a while,panting
"That's far enough" Cook says
"Cool party" Effy exclaims
"Can't really say I got bored" I add
"Cheers"
"You're fucking unbelievable" Freddie says
"I needed to get laid,man"
"You're always fucking trying to get laid"
"I try,I succeed,right?Speaking of which any of you girls fancy it?"Cook asks lighting a cigarette.
I take one of my cigarettes and Freddie lights it for me,he remembers mine is broken
"Thanks" I say smiling
By then almost everyone had rejected Cook and he gets to me
"So,what about you Trish?It's been a while"
"Yeah,no,I won't take a step near you.Not again"
Mean,but necessary. I really don't want to shag him again.
"How about it then,peachy? Looks like it's just me and you" Cook goes to Effy,and knowing her she'll reject him just because he asked her last.
And I was right she walks away with Panda laughing, I wave at the boys and follow them.
I walk with Effy once Panda got picked up by her mum. The high is starting to fade and the cold night air hits me as I say goodbye to Effy and as I enter I see that mum is luckily asleep.
I get to my room and I change to some comfortable clothes, grab my ipod and put my headphones. I listen to the music for a while and take my make up off until I hear the phone buzzing.
it's Effy

-Yes of course,what's up?
