"Is this event necessary" there's a hint of uncertainty in my voice.

Vivienne grabs my arm and pulls me into the building "very."

When we walk in, I notice Blake in the far corner with a random boy.

She appears to be annoyed.

"Can you let go of my arm now?" I look over to Vivienne and then down to my arm.

"Yeah, sorry. "

"Oh my god, there you guys are" Blake walks over to us, almost dragging the boy beside her.

"What took you so-you guys look amazing," Blake says while looking over us.

I smile at her "look at you; you look stunning."

"Thank you, and where did you get that dress," she asks, moving a little closer to us.

I look down at my dress; it's a long satin red dress, with strings at the back instead of a zipper, which causes it to be slightly uncovered.

"I got it yesterday with Rowan, but I don't remember the store."

She nods and grabs ahold of the boy beside her.

"Blake, who's this " Vivienne asks and points to the person beside her.

Blake looks confused at first "oh, Rylan?".

How would we know his name?

We both nod.

She let out a breath, and the confused look disappeared. "Oh, Rylan's, my date, my parents force me to take a date to each and every one of these eve-"

"We need to go to the main room," Vivienne cuts in and holds up up her phone.

Blake glances at Vivienne's phone "shit, we do."

Blake and Rylan start walking up the grand stairs, and we follow behind them.

This whole event is horrible.

All of them are.

I've been to many of these

Too much to count, and everyone is always the same.

It's all wealthy snobby adults standing around discussing they're "talented and delightful " children along with bragging about their jobs, money, and accomplishments.

It's bullshit.

Their kids.

Their jobs.

Everything.

Yeah, I need a fucking drink.

I walk over to the bartender handing him my fake ID.

He stares at it before observing me

After a while, he hesitantly hands it back.

I order a drink and sit down at the bar

Soon enough, he hands me the drink, and I down it all in one sitting.

I feel someone tap on my shoulder "there you are " Rowan pulls out the chair beside me and sits down.

I lean back in the chair and adjust my position, attempting to get comfortable.

"Why are you sitting here alone" he questions.

"Can you shut up?" I say while the bartender hands me another drink, this time a non-alcoholic one.

"Just come on" he grabs the cup from my hands and sets it down.

He then throws some money on the bar, and we walk towards a table in the far corner.

Fuck me.

Luca, Vivienne, Some guy, Blake, and Blair are all sitting at the table.

Rowan points for me to sit in the empty chair beside Blair.

I take a breath and sit down as far as I can, trying to keep our proximity to a minimum.

Minutes after I sit, I notice Blair look at me for a split second before quickly looking away and going on with her conversation.

I glance down at my phone, going on it for a bit.

"Oh my god, guys wanna see the rings me and Blair got yesterday, " Rowan speaks, causing me to look at him.

He brings his hand up, taking off the ring and showing it to everyone.

He then walks out of his chair and over to Blair, where he picks up her hand and shows everyone the matching Rings.

When people respond with a simple "cute" or "nice," Rowan finally sits down.

After a while, Rowan gets everyone to talk, and we all get caught up in conversations.

Soon enough, someone starts to speak on the microphone.

"Thank you guys for coming to the 75th paramount boarding school event; this year, the charity we're donating to is the--".

Not wanting to listen to the person speaking, I decide to go outside to get some fresh air.

I walk out and take out my cigarettes and lighter.

The cold rush of air causes the Lighter to flicker every time I attempt to light my cigarette.

Soon enough, I just put the cigarette in my mouth, used one hand to cover it and the other to use the lighter.

Finally, it lit.

I grab the cigarette between my two fingers, inhaling and keeping it in my mouth for a few seconds before I exhale.

I hear the doors open. I look over and see it's Blair.

Shit.

I quickly inhale it again and then put out the cigarette.

She walks up beside me "you know I saw that, right."

I keep my eyes focused on the cars passing "yeah."

"Why'd you put it out then? It was practically brand new," she questions while leaning on the wall.

I look over at her, staring into her eyes before I shake my head "To let you Steal it from me again? I don't think so".

She smiles "we're not inside like last time."

in frustration, I grab another cigarette and light it "are you happy?"

"Very" She grabs the cigarette from my hands and brings it up to her lips.

I keep my eyes on her lips, never daring to move them.

She quickly inhales and exhales before handing it back to me.

A couple of seconds after she hands it to me, she walks inside.

What the fuck.

-

I'm making out with someone random.

Well, She's not random. I know her name, I know she doesn't go to the school.

We're in the woman's washroom.

She's sitting on top of the sink, and I'm standing in between her legs.

While not breaking the kiss, She moves her hands to my dress shirt, undoing the first few buttons.

I pull back from kissing her mouth and then move down towards her jaw and neck, laying open mouth kisses.

Suddenly The door opens, and I quickly pull back and turn my head towards it.

Oh, fuck me.

Blake, Vivienne, and Blair walk in.

All of their eyes widen when they notice what's happening.

"Oh my fucking god" Blake tries to suppress her laugh but fails.

"This isn't fucking happening right now" Vivienne shakes her head.

"We're gonna leave so you guys can finish whatever you guys are doing," Blair says, pressing her lips together while laughing.

They all open the door and walk out one by one.

This is fucking great.

-

We, in fact, did not finish.

After they walked in, the whole fucking moment was utterly ruined.

So We decided to cut it short, fix ourselves up and walk out.

I don't even think I got the girls number.

Honestly I don't think it matters.

Fuck, why did I do that.

I go to the main room doors but stop abruptly, knowing I'm about to face a great deal of embarrassment.

I take a breath and walk-in, towards the table where everyone's sitting.

When I get there, I see Luca looking at me, shaking his head, "you finished that quick."

"shut up" I look at him and sit down in the empty chair.

When I sit down, everyone looks at me

"What?"

"Nothing, " they all reply, one after another.

We all get caught up in our conversations until someone comes up to our table.

"Blair De Luca is that you" some lady and what seems like her husband walks up to our table.

Blair looks over at the lady, and her eyes widen. "Mrs. walker what are you doing here."

"Ella used to go to school here, so we attend every year, but Blair, I didn't know you went here."

Blair smiles. "I just moved here, Mrs walker".

"Oh well, I'll make sure to tell Michael we saw you, have a great evening" The lady walks away.

What the fuck was that.

We all look at Blair, who seems a little surprised.

Once the lady is out of hearing range, Rowan speaks up, "who was that."

"Doesn't matter," Blair responds and grabs hold of her glass.
