As I realized there was no way out, I decided I would go as long as we went to a bar and not a club. It's not that I have anything against the people in clubs, it is just that I would prefer to sit and talk with my pals drinking and messing around rather than ending up isolated with creepy men on the dance floor.
As I walked back into the Jack and Jill bathroom I share with Mica, I threw on a white tank top bodysuit I bought from Amazon, and a pair of light wash straight leg jeans from American Eagle (thank gosh for XL, extra long), to finish the look I paired the outfit with a comfy grey stitched sweater and a pair of white Stan Smith sneakers. I knew when I walked out of the bathroom the girls would complain that I wasn't dressed up enough but I was comfy and that's what mattered.

Although the girls and even Daniel glared at my outfit, I could care less. I quickly tossed my hair into a messy bun and walked out of my room and sat down on the couch. As everyone gathered around, I noticed what the girls were wearing. Mica was wearing an off the shoulder black long sleeve crop top and a slitted geometric skirt, Danny swapped his regular tee and shorts for a polo and jeans, and Mari wore a gold top with a plunging neckline and leather black skirt. Both girls were wearing 3 inch heels. They looked like they were ready for a night of dancing rather than playing drinking games.

Soon enough Danny announces how he ordered the Uber. "Guys, I really, really, really don't feel like clubbing. Why can't we just go to Titanic or some other bar," after my continuous protests and with the Uber nearing, we decided tonight we would go clubbing, but we would stick together, no ditching for cute boys. Right as we were about to head down to the lobby, Mari stopped us "WAIT!" She ran back to her bathroom and emerged with a dark red lipstick tube and mascara. She applied the makeup to my face and took my hair out of the messy bun. As we finally were walking out the door, Danny held out his hand, scrunching my eyebrows together, he came around back and took my sweater off, tossing it on a chair.
After being eyed by the bouncer and handing him our fake IDs, we were all let into the nightclub, LAVO. I was honestly a bit surprised based on how I looked, but there were perks having such stunning friends. Marissa, stood at 5'6 with straight shoulder length dirty blonde hair which complimented her tan skin. Her eyes were a turquoise color, often more green than blue. She had curves and strong thighs due to our team workouts. Mica on the other hand had loose black curls and a pale complexion. She was 5'7 and had deep brown eyes. In heels though, the girls were about 5'9. They both played back row and served as the teams Libero and DS (defense specialist) which is how they get away being shorter than average volleyball players. Daniel on the other hand was around my height being about 5'11. Part Cuban, Danny was tan and had nearly black eyes and dark brown straight hair, his hair was cropped in an almost military style, but he left it long at the top.

I knew LAVO was popular, but the club was packed. I had barely any space to move and I was beginning to feel claustrophobic. Although I am not opposed to drinking, someone in my group needed to be sober enough to order the Uber back, I also didn't feel comfortable being drunk around so many random people. As I wiggled my way towards the bar, I saw someone leave and raced to the open barstool. With the rest of Triple MD in tow I sat down and flagged down the bartender.
As the bartender came by our area, Daniel ordered for the four of us, "a cranberry vodka soda, gin martini, water, and whiskey SOUR," "please and thanks; Danny, learn some manners for god sake." Mari corrected Daniel and then sat at the seat next to me that just became available. Coming back with all of our drinks, the bartender glared at Daniel for a second before moving on to another customer. Soon the DJ played Memories by David Guetta, Mica jumped a bit and screamed "this is my song, let's go Danny," with that our group split.
Alone at the bar, Mari and I argued over whether Chick-Fil-A or McDonalds has better nuggets, "obviously mcnuggets are better," at this point she had me hysterically laughing. "No way, Chick-Fil-A all the way Mari, nothing can compare." In the middle of our heated debate the bartender came around and gave Mari another gin martini, "I didn't order that," rather than answer her in words, the bartender just pointed at a table with a group of overly attractive males. It was obvious Marissa wanted to go over and meet the cute blonde who sent her a drink, although I didn't want to be alone, I also didn't want to be the reason she didn't go over. I nudged Mari and gave her a big smile, after I assured her I would be ok, she walked over to the private table.
As I swirled my chair to watch Marissa walk towards the guy who sent her a drink I collided with someone approaching the bar.
