A.N. Okay so the only reason I can write this is because I'm on my younger brother's computer. He let me on after begging constantly. If you didn't read my status, my laptop charger broke so I can't update daily until my dad buys me a new one. I might just bring my birthday into the persuasion (cough) May 25 (cough). Anyways ONTO the story.
"Pink or blue?" Olivia asked displaying two shirts in front of me. The pink one was an off-the-shoulder top that was help up by a thin, flimsy looking spaghetti strap. Whereas, the blue shirt was an ordinary looking top with ruffles at the top and sleeves.
"Pink," I told her, looking back down at my magazine. We'd been doing this for two hours, Olivia had over one hundred shirts and each time she held up two for me to choose the cuter one to place in her suitcase. She was going over her parent's house for three days, so she'd be back Monday after school.
She smiled, satisfied with my answer and placed the shirt neatly across the bed. "Alright, now we're done to twenty-five shirts. Which are the best looking of all. Choose...at least nine." she said, motioning her hand to the bed as I groaned in frustrated. I was never so happy in my life to have someone leave.
"Olivia, they're all pretty. Just close your eyes and pick one, don't you need leave soon?" I asked. Apparently driving to the airport would take an hour and she needed enough time to register, go through security and all that before boarding the plane.
She widened her eyes and picked up several shirts and neatly folding them in the bag along with her jeans, shoes and other things. She zipped her bag and placed it near the door while rummaging through her drawer and taking out a sheet of paper before slipping on her sneakers and picking up her bag.
"Ok I'll see you on Monday. Say bye to Catherine, Gina, and Liam. I already said adieu to Keith, so just those three. See you, Alex!" she said, blowing an air-kiss through the doorway and walking away.
I waited until it was completely silent to get up and begin jumping for joy. I put my iPod on the stereo and tapped "I'm so excited", put it on max, and began dancing and grinning. Midway through my running man the door opened again and Olivia gave me a confused look.
"I'm auditioning for cheerleading." I lied, my leg freezing in the air.
She laughed and picked up her purse she left on her bed. "My advice? Skip the running man. They'll never take you if you do that," she smiled, closing the door again behind her. I waiting until I heard I heard her engine zoom off before I began throwing my hair wildly again.
"I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it!" I sang along. Don't get me wrong, I loved Olivia it's just a few days without her would make anybody happy. I heard a knock on the door and I moonwalked over to open it. Catherine stood there with her eyebrows up in amusement.
"Cheerleading," I said throwing my hands up in mock surrender while walking over to the stereo and taking out the iPod.
"Right . . . anyways, there's going to be a party tonight and I want you to go. It's going to be the party to start off the new year." she informed me, stepping in the room without perimission.
"Whose going?" I asked.
"Everybody!"
"Will Daniel go?"
"He's sick."
"Then I'm not going."
"Yes you are."
I stepped up to her and gave her a challenging look. "Make me," I told her.
* * * * * *
I stood in the corner of the house frowning as everyone around me was having a pretty good time, talking with others and dancing around wildly. "Come on Alex. Loosen up, your expression makes an angry rhino look happy," Catherine urged. I turned around slowly so she can feel the full wrath of my glare.
Her eyes panicked a bit before she took my arm and dragged me away from the wall. I didn't move my legs though so I needed up falling. "Alex, get up," Catherine begged me. I shook my head stubbornly.
"You know what you need?" she asked, looking down at me. "What?" I answered.
I allowed her to pick me up and walk me over to the snack table. She picked up a plastic cup and filled it up with the fruit punch in the middle of the table. She gave me the cup and smiled at me, "This." I warily looked at her before bringing the cup up to my lips and taking a sip.
There was a foul taste that entered my lips, I spit the liquid into the sink near us and turned to glare at her. "What's in that?" I asked her.
"Beer. Nothing bad," she said taking a drink herself and downing it like it was the sweetest taste in the world. After she told me that I finished the cup in my hand. Without realizing it, Catherine and I drank cup after cup until as if it was water.
Keith's P.O.V.
There was loud ringing next to my ear which made me wake up instantly and sit up. I looked around and saw my phone singing it's ring-tone and lighting up obnoxiously. I felt my eyebrows furrow in confusion. Who would be calling me at three in the morning?
"Hello this is Harborside Police, and we have two girls here claiming to know you." a man said on the other line.
"Who are they?" I asked curiously.
"I have a Catherine McKee and an Alexandra Bolton. Catherine was found driving under the influence, normally we would throw them both in jail but considering they are both underage . . . do you know them sir?"
"Unfortunately, I'll be there in a while. Thank you," I grumbled. The police officer dismissed me and I got up out of bed, thoroughly searching my floor for something that I could wear. I settled on a plain white shirt and baggy jeans. Of all the things for Catherine to do, I hadn't really been expecting Alex to go and get drunk but since she got here she's been surprising me non-stop.
From how to she talked to way she dressed were all new, yet captivating to me. As for the way she kept turning away from me, I loved a challenge. Even God knew that. I grabbed my jean jacket and stepped into my car, driving toward the police station.
Inside I was met with a bright, white light. Policemen and women were shuffling around. I saw a woman reading something in some type of folder and I approached her. "Excuse me, I'm looking for Catherine and Alex," I told her. She gave me once-over and stared at me intently. "Are you eighteen or older?" she said me, suspiciously.
Of course not, I was seventeen but she didn't have to know that. I went through my wallet, skipped my driver's license and presented my fake ID, which stated I was eighteen as of two days ago. She skimmed over it then sighed and led me into a hallway.
"I presume you know why these two are here?" she said, opening the door and letting Cat and Alex free. I nodded. She had fill some papers before we left. Once we were outside Cat started laughing like a mad woman. I shot her a confused look and she pointed at my zipper.
"Your barn door is open!" she laughed. Her breath reeked of Beer and it almost made me hurl. I grumbled under my breath and pulled my zipper up while pushing both of them in the car. "Dooon't tttttoouch mee!" Alex slurred, walking to the car like a baby just learning to walk.
I rolled my eyes, these girls didn't know how to handle liquor. All through the car ride there spoke complete babble to each other. I tuned them out until we got to the Campus B. I instructed Alex to stay there as I picked up Catherine bridal style and carried her to the room. She was already fast asleep in my arms.
When I got to her door I attempted to throw her off my shoulder to make getting the key more easier. Except I made the mistake of momentarily putting my arm to help me get the key on the top of the door and Cat slid off me. She landed on the floor with a thud and she groaned in pain. I froze there to see if she'd wake up but she didn't and I waited to get the door open before picking her up again.
When I settled her in bed I ran back to the car, half-expecting Alex not to be there. To my surprise, she was. I didn't even have to drive up to her dorm since they were right next to each other so I walked her. She was silent throughout the entire walk. I went into the plant and took out Olivia's key, opening the door.
Alex walked into the room and turned around to look at me. "Can you tuck me in please? I haven't been tucked in since I was seven," she said, pleading me with her eyes. I nodded relunctantly and waited for her to get into bed. I walked over to her and began to pull the covers over her when she suddenly grabbed my head and pulled me to her lips. At first it was innocent, until she began attacking my face and I pulled away.
She frowned and pulled on my arm. "Alex, no, You're drunk." I explained to her. She sighed and bit her lip, "Then will you sleep next to me?" That'd be harmless right? I smiled, and climbed into bed with her. Within five minutes, I was asleep.
