"you're coming out with us tonight, right?" my hometown friend, bella, asks me.

she has that look in her eye that tells me it's not really a question, nor was it ever up to me. i will be going to the club tonight, whether i like it or not.

"i guess so, yeah." i can't help but smile a little. i was always such a party girl, but in the past year or so i've kinda dialed it back a bit to focus on school in california. i'm studying cosmetology at a beauty school in LA so i can (hopefully) get my work out there and be a celebrity hair and makeup artist?? i don't know. it's a dream.

i just haven't actually gone out in FOREVER. i like to pretend i'm past that life now, like i'm all mature or something, but i've always been a going out girl. just more introverted than i used to be, maybe?

"okaaaay," bella giggles excitedly. "and what're you wearing?"

after going through my closet, i eventually choose my outfit for the night:

we get ready and pregame a little until the rest of our friends get to bella's apartment

we get ready and pregame a little until the rest of our friends get to bella's apartment. it's winter break and everyone's home from school, so i'm staying with my mom back in new york for the weekend.

we get out of the cab at our favorite club and the line is WAY down the sidewalk. the cover fee is $20 more than usual, which is weird. that's usually only on holiday weekends, or sometimes when a celebrity's in there since it attracts more people.

"maybe we'll meet someone famous," bella nudges my shoulder.

"oooh i hope it's asap rocky! he posted in the city this week, he is SO fine." another friend, mia adds.

"loveee asap," i nod in agreement, even though i'm actually hoping it's madison beer or something. literally any woman would be great!

after 20 minutes or so in line, we finally get in. bella and mia had a couple shots already back at the apartment while i only had one, but it was enough for me to feel social. tequila is a wonderful kind of evil.

we dance for a while, surrounded by a whole bunch of sweaty guys. yesss sooo fun. my fave.

my girls are enjoying themselves, so i decide to head over to the bar because i'm gonna need more alc in me to enjoy this.

the bar is so ridiculously chaotic, not only is there nowhere to sit down but there's no bartenders that aren't already being bombarded with customers. luckily, this club has a smaller bar in the back in a slightly quieter spot.

i make my way over past a couple booths of people, and the only person sitting at the bar is a bored looking girl with dark blue hair. there's a couple people talking to her, but she doesn't seem all that invested.
