Invitation

When I was younger, I always fantasized about being in college. Who wouldn't? It was a getaway from home, a chance to start over, a chance to meet new people, and experience new things. Maybe even realize who you actually are. I was excited for all of it... until I actually realized what it was.

Maybe it was like that for some people, but not for me.

Currently, I'm sitting on a park bench on campus... by myself... studying and stressing about upcoming tests. I felt like that's what my whole college experience has consisted of.

Don't get me wrong, my roommate (and only best friend) Sakura Haruno tries to invite me to parties all the time and always introduces me to new people. I'm grateful for that, but I guess I still haven't grown out of my antisocial faze, so I don't take advantage of what her popularity could have brought me — new friends... and maybe even a new personality where I actually wasn't shy to hang around other people. I hated myself for that.

Not only that, but I'm a 21 year old virgin. I haven't even had my first kiss. I know... how embarrassing. I feel like it's too late for me now. What guy is going to want to get to know me when I have no experience? I have nothing to show off.

I don't even have the courage to really speak to a guy. So the plans of me losing my virginity are very slim since I can't even get past the first step of talking to a guy.

What a sad life.

I walked back to my apartment from campus. Sakura and I lived off campus in an apartment together. She was my first roommate ever and somehow we clicked instantly. She's president of her sorority and one of the top people in our class. I admire her so much. I someday aspire to be just like her, so outgoing and nice to others. No fears in the world. Just living in the moment.

"I'm back," I said as I entered my apartment.

"(Y/N), guess what I just received?!" Sakura asked while singing her words and prancing over to me.

I set my stuff down by the door and sat on the couch. All I could do was laugh at her. She was the type of girl who got excited over everything.

Sakura jumped on the couch right next to me and showed me her phone. It was a mass text message that read:

"Party tonight at Alpha Sigma Phi house tonight. 10:00pm. BYOB. Everyone welcomed."

Sakura screeched in excitement.

"We have to go!" she yelled.

I sighed and looked over to the side.

"Oh no, don't give me that look. Please, you have to come! Sasuke Uchiha is gonna be there! I'm gonna be so nervous if you don't come," Sakura pouted.

Sakura had the biggest crush on one of the members of the fraternity — Sasuke Uchiha. I honestly didn't know what she saw in him. He's in my organic chemistry class. From what I've heard others say, he was a total fuck boy. Also, the way he texted Sakura was kind of rude. Why would she want a guy like that?

Also, Sakura had a ton of friends. I don't understand why I was the one who had to go.

"Pleaaaasssssseeeeeee......" she whined.

I gave it some thought.

This would be my first party. It would be a chance to stand out a little, but would I make the attempt? Ugh, I don't want to do this.

"Pleaaaasssssseeeeeee....." she continued.

"You can't invite someone else?" I shrugged.

"Absolutely not! I need my best friend there! I'm tired of you saying no to me, we're going!" she said sternly.

Fine. I'll go. I had to make changes in my life and this was one of them. I have to stop saying no to things.

"Okay, fine..." I said rolling my eyes.

Sakura let out a scream of happiness and brought me in for a hug, swaying me side to side. All I could do was hug her back. Sakura was such a good friend and I could tell she was trying to help me get out of my comfort zone. I appreciated that.

Sakura pulled me off the couch and into her room, "Let's get ready together!"

We spent most of the afternoon getting ready. Sakura really liked the way I did makeup, so she made me do hers after I finished mine.

I went with a natural look and applied more blush than usual and a winged linger, I also added some lip gloss. For Sakura, she also wanted light makeup but with a smokey eye and a bright lip.

Sakura gave me some clothes to wear since I didn't really have any party clothes. I wore a pair of baggy, high waisted, light washed, ripped blue jeans with a white ribbed cropped tank, it had a v neck that revealed my chest a little. I also added a black belt and some black strappy heals. For Sakura, she wore a matching set. A cropped, sleeveless shirt and a high waisted skirt. It was all black, and she wore red strappy heals. It looked good with her short pink hair.

Sakura showed me a message on her phone from Sasuke:

Sakura: "Will you be at the party tonight? 😊😉"
Sasuke: "yeah"

"Do you think we'll hook up?" she asked bitting her nails.

"I mean maybe, but you shouldn't. He's an instant red flag," I scolded her.

Sakura sighed and smiled.

"That just makes him more attractive," she blushed.

Oh, hell. There's no saving her.
