Making up

I poured myself another drink after I finished curling my hair. I drank it quickly, before getting up and looking in the mirror to adjust my outfit.

It was a little revealing, and sometimes made me feel insecure about my stomach, but it would be unfair to myself to think my body has to look a certain way to be able to wear one of my favourite outfits. It was a sage green pleated mini skirt with a charcoal grey cropped tank top paired with my old low top doc martens and some chunky socks.

I put on a couple necklaces and my favourite rings and earrings, adjusting my hair in the mirror. I looked... cute.

My phone lit up with a text, which I leaned over my desk to read.

Kalynn: Let's go
Kalynn: Me and Wes in the hallway
Kalynn: Hurry up pls he's being weird

I grabbed my drink before joining her out in the hallway.

Kalynn and Weston were stood in the hallway, Weston playing some stupid song out of his iphone speakers and dancing ridiculously. He stopped as soon as I came out and turned off the music. I laughed at him and he looked down, avoiding my gaze. 

"Alright?" I asked them both.

"Yeah, let's go!" Kalynn smiled, double checking she had her keys before the three of us headed over to Sam's. She was wearing some shorts and a mini crop top, along with gold jewellery. As always, Kalynn looked beautiful.

I glanced at Weston as he jogged up to walk beside me on the way over to Sam's. He was wearing worn jeans that were a little baggy, a white graphic t-shirt, a grey and red flannel and a blue and white fleece on top. He was the only one of us actually wearing enough to stay warm enough for our badly heated building in november.

"I wonder if Olivia knows' we're coming." I said to Weston. "Do you think she could be done being angry at us?"

He looked at me blankly, and didn't reply, so I just kept talking. "I think she could be slowly starting to get over Isabelle. I noticed today she was actually wearing day-time clothes in class, you know, not just sweats and a hoodie." I went on.

He mumbled something like "Uh huh." Obviously lost in thought and not tuned into the conversation, and I mentally rolled my eyes as we got to Sam's place.

The three of us waited outside Sam's flat for only a second before some guy I didn't know opened the door and let us in.

The place was so alive with music and people and laughing, students filling the whole flat. I needed a drink to get rid of some of the anxiety I instantly felt settling into my stomach. I stood stiffly between Weston and Kalynn, and before I could say anything Weston said "I'll catch you guys in a second." and disappeared off into some other room.

"Hey, remember when we first met here?" Kalynn said brightly, and I looked over to the couch I'd first seen her on - playing mario kart with Weston.
"When Sam gave me fucking Shrooms?" I laughed.
"Yeah," Kalynn laughed too. "And you STILL went to class the next day. You absolute party animal."
"Oh I'LL show you party animal." I told her, taking her wrist and pulling her with me to the kitchen.

Kalynn cheered as I poured two ridiculously strong vodka-lemonades, and we interlocked arms as we downed them. I thought I could be sick at the taste for a second, but I still finished the cup.

"Let's get really drunk tonight, yeah?" I suggested.

"Why not. Fuck it. We deserve it."
"Thank god that projects' over." I said, pouring another drink and handing it to her.
"Oh my god, I know right." She said. "Oh shit, I think Toby's coming over here."
I looked to see Toby standing, talking to some girl, but side-eying me.
