She's a light Weight
Mi'Jay
I stared lifelessly at the blank canvas in front of me. The white irritated me but I couldn't bring myself to ruin it with the other irritatingly bright colors that laid untouched on the table. The girl next to me sat clicking her pen, the guy behind me was chewing gum loud enough for people underground to hear. The teacher shuffled papers back and forth now and again checking if he had corrected something yet or not. Squeaky chairs. tapping feet, ticking clocks, nails clicking on a keyboard. Everything was driving me insane. I clutched my head in irritation and bounced my leg the table shook and spilled water all over the floor. I stared as I noticed it spilled all over my shoes making them a darker grey I stared as the water flowed freely out of the bottle and onto the floor.
I drowned out the sound of my art professor lecturing me about how I need to be more careful. Weirdly for a moment, I felt as if I was the water in that bottle. Free and full of life, flowing in glistening streams. spilling out not bearing any secrets. I looked up when I felt someone tapping my shoulder "Mi'Jay, are you even listening??" My teacher huffed in annoyance. I silently shook my head as my eyes drifted back to my wet shoes." Nevermind, Just go." she sighed I stood up and walked out of the room. the water squishing under my feet. I walked all the way to my dorm room and kicked off the wet shoes tossing them to the side I fell back on my bed. pulling out my phone I checked my messages. I had a few unread from Andre.
Andre is my best friend. we met at the orientation of my freshman year and we have been inseparable since. I clicked the notification and read "there's a party tonight at 'Laughing Stool'.. you in?" I thought about it for a moment before I realized I had nothing better to do. I sent back a quick "Yeah" Before clicking my phone off and putting it on the charger. I pulled my covers up deciding to take a nap.

8:45 pm
My phone buzzed on the counter as I was putting on my hat. It was a text from Andre telling me he was on his way. I grabbed my hoodie and my keys and made sure I had my wallet before leaving out and locking the door. I jogged down the steps and saw Andre leaning against his car. He dapped me up before we both hopped in "Wassup jay, where you been at ion be seeing you for real" Andre spoke " I shook my head and laughed " Man I been busy, You know how these business courses are, piling that homework high" I laughed and shook my head." Plus you know they gave me that art course because I was enrolled late" I shook my head " Professor Brockton got mad at me for spilling water on the floor today in class and made me leave."
Andre smacked his lips " Man ion even know why you bother with college, ain't yo pops rich? Man if my old man had money like that I'd be in Hawaii with a pretty girl on my lap" I laughed, this nigga was dumb as hell. We pulled up to the party and the first thing I saw was a girl passed out on the sidewalk. I shook my head and got out of the car walking up to the door. I stepped over the girl on the ground and opened the door. almost immediately the bass of the music hit me "Ion like n*ggas, ion like b*tches, ion like nobody" I sang along to Moneybag Yo as I walked over to the bar and got a bottle of water. Im not in the mood to be throwing up liquor. As I got deeper into the party I noticed that Andre was in the corner dancing with some girl. " That nigga move fast" I laughed at my thoughts and walked around out of the corner of my eye I saw Navia in a corner. She looked like she was looking for someone I walked up to her and got a closer look at what she was wearing. She had on purple and white biker shorts with butterflies on them it reached just above her knees with a white shirt with bold purple letters spelling out VANS. she paired that with some purple and white checkered vans with some purple ankle socks. her hair was in butterfly locks with her edges done with a purple butterfly hair clip at the top. 'damn' I thought to myself
" You look lost" As soon as I spoke she flinched "You good?" She looked at me and cleared her throat " Yeah I'm straight, you just caught me off guard" She laughed softly. I nodded " so who are you looking for" I took a sip of my water " I came here with my friends but I'm pretty sure they left..." She got quiet as she said that last part " Well I'm here... we friends right?" She looked up at me and laughed.. it still didn't reach her eyes " Yeah.. we're friends" I smiled and the night only got crazier from there. Turns out Navia is a lightweight when it comes to liquor. she had to shots of vodka and was on the dance floor Twerking to every song that played. I saw a lot of people staring at her. I pulled her off the dance floor "Let's go"
She laughed " I don't wanna leave yet I was having fUUNNNNnn" I shook my head "you're drunk" she shook her head " I didn't know I was friends with my DAD" she rolled her eyes and I ignored her as I continued to pull her through the crowds I caught Andre's attention and mouthed 'i'm out' he nodded and went back to kissing the girl he was with. I sighed went back to pulling her out of the party until I felt a sharp sting on my cheek..she slapped me. and then she passed out.
