"he gave you a tattoo?!"

me and victoria sat in front of rue, and she was telling us about how ashtray gave her and jules and lip tattoo.

she nodded, pulling down her lip to show it. 'rules'

i smirked, turning to vic. "we should get one."

her eyes widened, "are you stupid? no."

———

"so, i heard you're a tattoo artist." i plopped down in my seat, ashtray in front of me.

he turned around, "where'd you- oh, rue."

i nodded, smiling as he looked at me weird. "you're friends with that drugie?"

i rolled my eyes, "yes, i am."

he chuckled, turning back around as i leaned on my desk. i did actually want a tattoo, and getting a matching one with victoria would be fun, but i was scared of the pain.

"what was that shit goin on with your sister, earlier?" i heard him ask, leaning his head back so i could hear better.

"her and her boyfriend got into an argument at the carnival.. and people think he chocked her." i answered.

"oh shit, nate jacobs?" he turned a little, and i nodded in response. "mhm."

i didn't know why i suddenly had an interest to him, but i did. and i made it a mission so be friends with him.

"what's your number? we can play imessage games." i waved my phone around, and he furrowed his eyebrows, before taking my phone and putting his number in it.

once he handed it back, i leaned back in my chair with a smile on my face.

———

me and victoria matched, dressing as fairy's for the halloween party everyone was going to. i wore a blue silky dress, and blue sparkly wings, as victoria wore a green dress and green wings.

we entered the party, getting a ride from her mom who thought it was a small, friend get-together.

the smell of alcohol, weed and sweat filled my nose, and i took a deep breathe before walking further in the house.

i spotted kat, rue and jules on the way, and decided to walk over at say hi. me and vic watched jules pour a drink, before speaking. "hey guys."

the three turned, and kat smiled when she saw me. "val! you look pretty."

i smiled, "thanks. you look... like a nun?"

she laughed, before pouring herself a drink. "hey, we look alike!" jules exclaimed, she was an angel.. and rue was just wearing a suit, so i didn't really know what she was.

"yeah..." i responded, i haven't actually met jules, but after mckays party.. i'm not sure how i feel about the girl.

"tequila makes me aggressive."
"ugh, tequila makes me wanna dance."
"i uh, i once took like ten vidocin, and drank an entire thing of tequila, and then i like.. blacked out for three days. but while i was blacked out, i like still went to school and did homework and shit.. it was really weird."
"well.. let's not do that tonight."
"uh, i won't. i'm.. im clean, so we're good."

"clean my ass." i mumbled to myself.

"wait a minute, i was supposed to be your chaperone.. but now i'm drunk."
"i don't.. like actually need a chaperone."
"oops."
"um, where's lexi?"
"uh.. she's kinda of hard to miss."

i furrowed my eyebrows, before walking off with victoria to find lexi.. and once i did, it all made since.

"bob ross! i love it." i smiled, pulling her into a hug.

she laughed, "really?"

and i nodded, as victoria spoke, "it looks cool!"

and lexi smiled at her, "thank you."

after that, lexi, rue, victoria and i sat on a couch watching jules dance along to the music by herself. something felt off between rue and jules tonight, the two seem to really like each other.. i think their dating?

"is she okay?"
"i don't know."
"does she normally drink?"
"no."
"somethings definitely going on."

i listened to rue and lexis conversation, not like i was trying to.. but they were right next to me.

"this must be weird."
"what?"
"like.. being a teenager, but not really being able to do teenager stuff."
"yeah, well.. when i'm an adult, i won't be able to do adult things either."

i looked over to where lexi was slowly leaning to look at at, "is that gia?"

and opened my mouth in shock as she was sat with troy.. or roy, smoking. "you gotta be fucking joking." rue said, before standing up and pushing past people to walk over to her.

i followed after lexi, as she followed behind rue, and vic followed behind me.

"what are you doing here?..." gia pulled away from him.

"what am i doing here? what the fuck are you doing here?" rue asked, lexi standing to her right and victoria and i on her left.

"getting lit." troy.. or roy, replied.

"i'll deal with your ass later, get up." she said to gia, and then him.

"what?" he asked, and rue responded with, "i said, get the fuck up." and then dragged him up.

my eyebrows raised as she dragged him away, and i turned to send a quick wave to gia before waking away with vic.

we decided to dance with the rest of the people here, since we weren't doing anything else and nothing interesting was going on.

an hour or so passed, and the two of us were now sat on a couch, bored of being here.

"hey, you wanna take shots?" i asked her, out of boredom.

usually she would say no, and think smarter, but she shrugged, and we both got up, walking over to the kitchen.

i smiled, grabbing a bottle of whatever alcohol was closest, and started to pour us both a shot, as the door opened...

and maddy and nate walked in.

i raised my eyebrows, looking at what they were wearing. maddy wore a wig, and an outfit you'd usually wear to the beach.. i don't know what she was actually dressed as. and nate was dressed like a criminal.

i scoffed, well that fits him.

"nate! nate! nate! nate!" everyone started to cheer for him, and i shook my head. these people are so stupid.

as maddy and nate walked further into the house, i turned to victoria. "wanna just leave instead?"

she sat down the shot glass, "yeah."
