10 CHAPTER 9- Never have I ever. ..

Three forty-five pm. Three forty-five pm! and Jeannie was freaking out on what to wear for the party. It's starting by seven pm for goodness sake! I just sat on my bed watching her go through the clothes she had picked out before coming to my house. Mom was later called in to cover for a sick staff, so I has the house to myself at the moment.

"Ugh! I don't know which one to wear. Come help me out and stop being a puke"

" Really? Puke? Of all the things you could call me, you chose puke?"

"Yeah duh you look like one right now" she rolled her eyes

" Wear the red one. It suits your colour and it's going to be nice on your curves"

" You think so?"

"I know so"

" Okay I'm going to try it out" she rushed into my bathroom to change.

" I told you" I said to her when she came out. The dress was glued to her body like a second skin and showed every detail of her curvy body. It stopped mid thigh and made her legs look longer. It's a strapless dress with a side zip and multiple crossed back straps, which made it look more flattering and sexy. It was simple but beautiful.

"Wow, all I have to do is curl my hair. I think a blood red matte lipstick will go with it, though it'll make me look like a hooker" she said turning around to look at her butt in the full length mirror.

" You got that righ. Wear the red matte though, you'll look hot." I winked at her and she giggled.

" What about you though? what are you wearing?"

"Nothing too fancy. Just a normal black gown"

"Is this what you call not too fancy?!! You look smoking hot Lis" Jeannie exclaimed after I'd put on my dress, straightened my hard and done my makeup. I did look nice.

"It's not fancy Jeannie, I just managed to pull it off that's all"

"Yeah right" sarcasm dripping through her words " Tell that to the hormonal teenagers that'll tap that ass in a few minutes"

"Nobody is tapping my ass, now come on before we get late"

"who goes to a party early anyway? We're supposed to be fashionably late" she whined. And I though she was the excited one. Jordan had sent us his address two hours ago while we were still stuffing our faces with pizza. I slipped on my converse and put my phone in my bra. I didn't want to walk around the whole night on heels nor did I want to lose my purse if I carried it.

"Okay let's go" Jeannie said and pulled me out of my bedroom.

I grabbed the house key for the hey holder, locked the front door and put it in my bra too. Mom has hers with her. We drove to Jordan's house, sorry mansion, in Jeannie's car, obviously. His house is so huge! His neighbourhood is obviously for rich people, with all the huge white houses in it. I never knew who's parents were loaded. There were teenager scatters around the front lawn. Some were already very drunk. A guy was puking in a flower pot. Eww, poor flowers. Red solo cups were everywhere. It was just like the typical teenage house party. We made our way into the house and it was hot! Not hot as in fun but hot as in sweaty hot. The house was filled with sweaty hormonal teenagers dancing and shouting over the ear bursting music. It was too loud and crowded in her and dark too. A guy was seriously groping a girls ass like he wanted to squash it. it looked so painful.

"Hey. You guys made it" a tipsy Jordan shouted over the music making his way over to us. " follow me. The boys are over there " he pointed to the right side of the house. Jeannie and I followed him , pushing through the sweaty sticky bodies. Disgusting. The boys were seated in the far corner of the house having shots and cracking jokes. Adrian was there too. Jordan and Jeannie took the spaces beside Declan and the only one left was beside Adrian. I mentally groaned. This is going to be a very long night.

"Let's play never have I ever" Bryan announced after some minutes of just taking shots. I didn't drink though, I don't take alcohol and I also noticed that Declan wasn't drinking either. 'Does he not drink?' I thought. Everyone agreed to his idea. He started.

" Never have I ever sneaked in a girl into my room" Declan drank his water, Jordan and Adrian took shots. I rose my eyebrows at him and he just shrugged. I wonder who he sneaked in. Adrian went next.

" Never have I ever been with a hooker" Declan drank and no one else did. Well that was until I saw Jordan lift his shot to his mouth slowly.

"What?" I gasped

" dude!" Bryan shouted

"when" Jeannie asked

" You didn't tell us" Declan deadpanned.

"Well.." he started " it was just once nothing much. Just wanted to try it" he shrugged. It was my turn now and I didn't know what to say so I just blurted out the first thing that came to my mind.

" Never have I ever had sex" The boys looked stared for a minute before the burst into into a fit of laughter. I was confused. Declan, Adrian and Jeannie weren't laughing though.

"That was a good one" Bryan managed to say in between laughs " you almost had us there" Jordan nodded his head vigorously.

" She's not joking idiots" Declan said. Tell them! I feel so embarrassed right now.

" You're not?" Jordan asked and I nodded in reply.

" Damn, who wouldn't want you. you're hot!" Bryan said earning a smack on his head from Declan.

"Ouch ..dude! that hurt!"

"Next person please. Get me out of this misery"

The game continued and by the time it finished, Jordan , Bryan and Jeannie were drunk. Adrian was just tipsy.

" I'm going to get some air" I said before pushing through sweaty bodies again. Lots of heavy make out sessions were going on. A girl was almost naked with the boy's hand shoved up her little dress. I even saw a boy and a girl rush up the stairs. I don't even want to know what they're about to do. I finally found the back door and went outside. The air was surprisingly not too cold considering it was almost winter and was cool against my skin. I sat down on the ground and that was when I noticed a little garden at my far left. The moonlight was shining on the flowers giving them a dim night glow. They looked beautiful.

" It's beautiful isn't it?" a voice said behind me making my heart nearly jump out of my chest.

" You scared me and yes it is"

" Sorry " he chuckled and came to sit beside me, almost tripping on his on feet. He was a bit drunk.

"What's with you following me outside all the time" I asked now staring able the stars.

" Thought you needed some company" he replied.

" Thanks Bryan. I do" I replied bringing my knees to my chin before resting it on them. A rush of cold air suddenly hit my skin making me shiver.

" You're cold" he noticed immediately.

" I'm not. Just the breeze" he rolled his eyes and placed his jacket on my shoulders, instantly warming me up.

" Thank you" I smiled.

" Don't go all mushy on me. it's fine" it was my turn to roll my eyes this time. He laughed and then we sat in a comfortable silence.

" You look beautiful tonight. Not that you don't always look beautiful. you get my point?"

" I do" I chuckled " thanks" he gave me a cheeky grin before shaking his head and staring at the stars again
