Tripped

There was a knock on my door, and I pulled myself up from bed to go and open it.

Weston was stood there, and he quickly glanced me up and down before opening his mouth. "Me and Sam are going over to his for that party, are you coming or what?"

There's a moment of quiet as my brain which was just asleep tries to catch up with reality. "Yeah, no, uh, I'm just gonna stay in..."

He seems unbothered and leaves me to it, as I close my door and climb back into bed.

I'm not sure how many hours later it is I slept for, but I woke up while it was still dark outside to the sound of loud music pounding through the wall.

I put my pillow over my face, groaning. Tomorrow I have a really important class I have to go to at 9am, and there's no way I can sleep again now...

I climbed out of bed and pulled on some jeans, deciding the cami I was sleeping in will be good enough since I couldn't be bothered to put together an outfit.

I left my room and flat, following down the hallway to the noise, before knocking on the door. It swang open and some girl on the other end drunkenly invited me in, at least I assumed since I couldn't really hear her over the music.

I looked around and see Weston sitting on the couch playing a video game with some cute brunette girl next to him doing the same... I don't let myself feel jealous since that would be ridiculous, I barely know him. I don't know why it even occurred to me to feel that way at all.

"Anais!"

I turned around and Sam pulled me in for a hug quickly. "I'm so glad you turned up!"

"Oh I can't really stay for long, I just couldn't sleep. Actually I don't wanna be that guy but I was wondering if you could turn down the music a bit."

He laughed and slapped me on my shoulder lightly, "Anais you seem so stressed, you need a mushroom tea. Trust me it'll chill you right out. Wait here." He told me, turning around and going through to the kitchen. Mushroom tea? That sounded fucking gross I thought.

I turned around to look back at Weston to see he was already staring at me, but he looked back to the screen as soon as we locked eyes. I walked over. "Hey man."

"What's up Anais." He said, focusing on the game. "This is Kalynn."

The girl next to him tore her eyes away from the screen for a second to smile at me sweetly. "Hey, you can have next go if you want!"

"Sure!" I said, sitting down on the couch with them to see they're playing Mario Kart. They started arguing playfully about the game, I was pretty sure they're dating since they seem pretty comfortable around each-other.

After they were done Kalynn handed me the controller and got up to get another drink.

After a few seconds of awkwardness we actually seem to hit it off whilst playing the game, taking the piss out of how bad each-other are and acting competitive.

Then Sam came over with some mugs of tea and handed one to me, putting down the others on the coffee table. 

He drank his own and I did the same. It's pretty weird to drink tea at a party, but I didn't want to be rude to him by saying no. 'Oh man, it tastes pretty bad' I thought after taking a big gulp. 

"Wow this tastes.. uh.. interesting.." I told Sam, laughing a bit.

"Nah, nah, you've gotta have more than that!" He told me, putting down his empty mug. I have some more, thinking this is weird as fuck.

"You sure you don't want any Wes? It's premium shrooms in this tea yaknow" Sam asked, leaning forwards on the couch to look past me at Weston.

"Nah, I'm high on life dude." Weston said sarcastically, nodding his head, making Kalynn laugh as she sat down again.
