Chapter 1: The Party

Celia

I am at my dorm getting ready for the party. Today, I am wearing my green short dress with my silver 3 inch heels, I love high heels but I can’t wear more inches with almost 5 feet and 7 inches, it makes me look extra tall and bring more attention to me from both men and women which I never liked. I always hate when I get extra attention specially from creeps or fuck boys and since many will be there at the party today, I am trying to look less sexy which I am sure won’t make any difference to the attention I got witnessing all these years in high school and college.

Just after clock strikes 8, people started getting in and making themselves comfortable and getting drunk. Yes, call me stupid I am the host of this party I am having this party at my dorm although I hate giving parties at my dorm as I can’t leave when I want to but here I am since this is the last day at college and after this we all will leave tomorrow to one place or another.

George will also leave for Texas tomorrow, I invited him too but doubt he will show up. After break up, we chose to be in touch but its hard for both. Unconsciously, looking for him while talking to Linda and John my friends, the cutest couple of our campus while I and George was the hottest, yeah I accept am already missing him.

And there she is the bitch in her black dress with black 5 inches stilettos with 5 feet 5 inches she stood same height as me. She is as usual looking sexy making every guy look at her in awe and some girls too with her sharp looks and cute black eyes. Her smile could make any guy lose his heart. I made my way to her to slap her hard as she is late, okay I was just saying it.

“J, you are late” I glared at her while she twirled showing off herself.

“Hawwwtt” she complimented eyeing me head to toe, meet my bestie Jeanne(pronounce as Jeen) Dante, she was doing her MBA n NYU we met through some mutual friends at one of these parties three years ago when she was at some other college studying Literature as she loved it. We have nothing in common but still we striked and our bond grew stronger and stronger. We hung out everyday together and shared everything from last three years.

“Am I too much? I wanted to get ready for George but didn’t realize he won’t come until people started showing up” I declared looking not anywhere in particular.

“It was your call to end it, so now don’t bore me” she said while dragging me in kitchen for our drinks. I got myself lemonade, don’t want to get drunk so soon while she grabbed and poured herself vodka with lemon. She is her usual crazy and always hyper excited for everything. I am not that boring as she claims but can never match her energy level.

With our drinks refilled we joined our friends Linda, John, Shirley, Shelly, Matt and Carl on the dance floor where Matt is flirting with Shelly as usual while she flirts back while saying something to embarrass him like always but its Matt he never stops.

He is always trying his best to woo Shelly, she likes him back but is sticking to her “No relationship with close friends” rule. After her break up with her high school best friend turned boyfriend she made it and is still abiding by it even after 5 years. Although I think she should give a chance to Matt, who turned from playboy to a good guy just for her and didn’t even looked at another girl after meeting her. It is one of reasons she lets him flirt with her otherwise being a bad ass she can make a guy run a mile per hour in opposite direction.

Jeanne soon found a guy to suit her interest and left me with others to dance with him and maybe make out later but never slept with any of those guys except her boyfriend. She rarely found anyone to have her interested and since she was in an open long distance relationship with some Greg from her hometown who visit her each month. She loves him I saw it when she returns after meeting she smiles like a maniac but rarely talks about him or her relation with him. She told me its complicated and when I realized she never brought up I stopped asking her to talk.

Suddenly I felt two daggering eyes on my left but when I turned in the direction to look for George I mean the eyes. But couldn’t found any, either I am too drunk although I just got 2 shots of vodka with coconut water or I was missing George so much that I am imaging him staring at me as he did in these parties while we were away from each other with our friends. No his friends really never liked me or should I say his best friend Raghav. I never understood why he always repulsed from me. I tried in beginning to talk it to me him but soon gave up seeing his disinterest towards me.

We are dancing crazily and getting our drinks refilled again and again or leaving the dance floor just to have some snacks frequently still looking for those eyes while I feel them constantly.

Its almost midnight and the party is still on many left but many are still here dancing, drinking, and while some are making out or practically having sex with clothes on. I am completely drunk now and among all these people there I found the eyes which were stabbing me in my back all this time.

Want him as mine. I thought.
