3 Chapter 3: Blair’s POV

The first week of senior year had flown by in a blur and I couldn't be more happy that it was finally Friday. Ms. Winters hadn't said a word about the exchange after class on Tuesday and I hadn't stayed after class to give her the chance. Each day she looked at me as though she were begging me to stay after but I would pack up and give her a knowing smirk before exiting the room. Eventually it would have to be addressed but watching her plead with me through her eyes as if begging me to stay was too amusing to give in so easily.

Tonight was John's party and I was more than ready to get absolutely hammered. I had put on my short mini skirt and a white crop top before curling my hair and pairing the look with my black heels. Callie had picked me up moments ago and we had just arrived at the party where numerous people were already showing up. We got out of the car and headed inside where we found John and Mike talking to some some girls in the kitchen.

"Hey you made it!" John greeted us with a bright smile

"Hey John." Callie smiled over at him while I poured myself a drink of coke and rum

The counters were littered with red solo cups and numerous bottles of liquor as well as mixers that keyed me into the fact that we were fashionably late as usual.

"Hello Johnathon I will refrain from smiling since it offends you." I joked before taking a sip of the brown liquid

He rolled his eyes "I made one joke and now I'll never see your beautiful smile again."

I gave him a look shaking my head "Don't worry I'm gay anyway."

"I know that dumbass, I was trying to give you a compliment." He grumbled

I rolled my eyes laughing "Come on John, have a drink with me you can pout later."

As he poured himself a glass I couldn't help but look around the house that had become all too familiar in the years I'd known him.John's house was rather beautiful and grand as it should be considering his parents were both lawyers. It was decorated modestly with a modern touch that contradicted the wild teenagers making out and doing keg stands throughout it. He had told me numerous times how his parents were hardly ever home and it was one thing we had in common, that and throwing great parties. I quickly downed my first few drinks before being pulled into a game of truth or dare in the living room with several people I didn't know and Callie who was beside me. She was by far the most sober in the house due to her whole "I don't like to drink" phase. She had drank with me plenty of times before this summer but suddenly she decided to give it up and I wasn't judging.

"Truth or Dare?" A dark haired boy asked me

"Dare." I said calmly as I took a sip of my drink that tasted sweeter than the last

"I dare you to kiss her." He said pointing at some random blonde with a nice set of tits

I rolled my eyes and smirked "What is this a child's game?"

He laughed as I stood up and walked over to the girl who seemed quite nervous as she looked up at me. I flashed her a small smile before bending down and kissing her gently at first. I deepened the kiss, slipping my tongue into her mouth for a few moments before pulling away and receiving a few cheers from around the circle before retaking my place. Her cheeks flushed crimson as she looked over at me lustfully but unfortunately for herI wasn't interested. Her breath was like vodka and her kissing was more slobber than anything. A few more people kissed, two played seven minutes in heaven, and I finished a few more drinks before it was once again my turn.

"Truth or dare?" A small girl with blonde hair asked me

"Dare." I slurred out

"I dare you to chug the rest of this vodka!" She exclaimed proudly holding up a quarter of a bottle

"Easy," I slurred and paused as I grabbed the bottle "Peasy."

Callie grabbed my arm and scolded me "No way you are way too drunk already."

"I'm no pussy." I said winking at her before throwing the bottle back

I felt the warmth hit the back of my throat but it was a dull burn at this point. I finished off the bottle in a few swigs before dropping it to the floor and giggling.

"Great." Callie sighed only loud enough for me to hear

"Great indeed." I giggled as I fell back on the floor

The rest of the party was kind of a blur but I vaguely remember Callie trying to get me to leave. Next thing I remember was running away like a retarded penguin yelling "Catch me if you can" repeatedly like an idiot. At some point I must've jumped in the pool because my clothes were now drenched as I walked home. I had no idea when Callie left but I really didn't blame her, I was plastered and I was still clutching a new bottle of vodka in my hand as I made my way towards my house. It wasn't too far, maybe a thirty minute walk but with my clothes soaking wet it was not a comfortable one in the slightest. After walking for who knows how long I did a full three-sixty and realized I had absolutely no idea where the hell I was. Needing to think I sat on the curb and took a swig from the bottle blurring my vision even further.

"Hey are you okay?" A familiar feminine voice asked from behind me

I let myself fall back onto the grass and looked up to meet the intense gaze of Ms. Winters who was in only a white robe.

"Blair?" She choked out surprised by my presence

"Oh hey," I slurred holding up the bottle and giggling "Want some?"

To my surprise she took the bottle and took a tiny sip without returning it.

"Hey that's mine." I whined throwing my hands up before letting them fall back down beside me

She laughed softly but I could see concern in her eyes "I think you've had more than enough Blair, what are you even doing here?"

"Well, I was at a party, I don't really remember much of that. I had a DD but I think I pissed her off so I tried walking home and got very lost." I paused between the garbled up nonsense she was probably hearing and giggled "Then I saw your pretty face and so I'm pretty sure I'm in heaven."

The blush on her cheeks was unmistakable "Can I give you a ride home then?"

"Sure." I mumbled as I closed my eyes

"You've gotta get up." She said laughing

I ignored her, already half asleep when she grabbed my hands sending an electric pulse through my entire body. My eyes fluttered open and I met her gaze as she pulled me up and onto my feet.

"What's your address?" She questioned looking me over in a not so professional way

I thought for a moment but the numbers and names got all jumbled in my head from all the houses we'd had over the years.

"I have no idea." I giggled out as I almost fell back down

She sighed, steadying me with our hands that were still connected "Jesus you are trashed, and why are you all wet?"

"Well firstly you're really hot so you automatically make me wet and I went swimming with my bottles." I shrugged and giggled as I let go of her hands and instantly regretted the decision as they were now cold

She groaned "You are not making helping you very easy Miss Collins."

"Where is my vodka?" I asked noticing she was no longer holding it

I turned and spotted in the grass and instantly dove for it catching her off guard as she tried to pull it from my grasp. She slipped on the wet grass falling on top of me as the rest of the contents poured into my mouth and all over my face. I giggled and threw the bottle into the grass behind me and as I opened my eyes I realized her face was mere inches from mine. She looked stunning, lips parted slightly in surprise, eyes set on mine with an unreadable mystery behind them. Without thinking I connected our lips in a lame drunken attempt and felt a similar but much stronger electricity between us as our lips moved in sync. As suddenly as it had started it ended as she pushed herself up and stood facing away from me. Unable to move or even keep my eyes open I fell into a deep sleep on Ms. Winters front lawn thinking about the amazing kiss we had just shared.
