《INVITE ME ROUND》Chapter 21

"Don't be lame, bitch. Give it a try." Lucy pressed a cup into your hand again and again.
"Fill her up!" Mr. Buckman joked while your eyes drifted to Lilith.
She leaned her head on Lucy's lap and let her stroke her arm. It hurt you to see Lilith like that.
You were not only afraid because her dress seemed quite short and you noticed the looks of the other teachers, but because Lilith was drunk as hell.
As Joyce and Lucy drank more and more drinks, the men enjoyed the atmosphere.
"Why are you still sitting here if you're not drinking? In case you haven't noticed, this is a drinking game." Joyce spoke.
You did what you did all along this game, pretending you didn't hear her. You knew that would make her angry.
It took less than an hour for you to realize how stupid this woman was. She constantly had to touch Lilith somewhere.
You wouldn't be surprised if they kissed.
When Lilith looked over at you, you couldn't look away from her. Looking at her, helplessly, you tried to show her that you weren't feeling well, but she was way too drunk to notice.
"I can't believe my eyes!", All the adults jumped up when they heard the jarring voice.
Noticing Luke's face you wanted to hide from embarrassment.
"So what?", you asked.
"If Mr. Versace hadn't told me you were here, I would have called the police!" Luke looked over at an older gentleman.
You were silent for a moment, examining the older man's clothing.
"Are you kidding?" You smirked hearing the man's name.
"Donatella, what are you doing here?" Mr. Eastwood couldn't help but laugh.
Your gaze wandered from Lilith to Joyce.
Joyce was responsible for explaining things to you that you didn't understand. For example Mr. Black's crazy sayings.

"Oh they're just laughing because of his last name. They call him Donatella because of the fashion designer, you know?" Joyce grunted while laughing.
Mr. Versace, whose first name remained unclear, disappeared into the crowd.
It seemed as if the room was filling up more and more with guests.
"How's it looking? Are you coming?" Luke stuck out his hand.
"I'm busy." You gave him an angry look.
"Y/n I'm warning you. You know I'll contact your parents if-"
"Wait wait wait," Lilith tried to stand up, and you almost got up to support her, because she really looked like she was going to fall over at any moment.
"You're Y/n's cute little boyfriend, aren't you?" she slurred.
"He's not," you rolled your eyes.
She just gave you an amused look.
Luke looked at her confused.
"Don't talk to me or I-" he paused, noticing that he had no idea what to say.
"Come sit down, play along a bit." Lilith smiled.
"And don't forget that my dear colleague Mr. Black is your history teacher." Lilith said without looking at Luke.
And also without looking at you, she pushed Mr. Eastwood aside and sat right next to you.
The smell of alcohol spread even more.
Were hot middle aged women actually able to sense if someone was nervous?
"You don't want your grades to drop, lad, do you?" Luke listened to Mr. Black's words and wordlessly sat down in the empty seat next to Lucy.
"Bitch, come here. Sit with me.", Lucy beamed all over her face.
It was that fake laugh that people wore when they wanted to fool someone.
"Stop calling her-", Lilith tried to say something but she didn't finish the sentence.
Since no one said anything more, not even Lilith, you got up and sat down next to Lucy, who immediately put her arm around your shoulders.

"Tell us Y/n, did you enjoy the kiss?" Mr. Eastwood asked loudly.
Your cheeks glowed and you felt your heart pounding faster.
"What are you talking about?" You rubbed your hand over your cheek.
He squinted at Lilith, and raised his eyebrows. Luke tried not to freak out and Lucy's beaming smile faded as you looked at her.
Everyone in this group knew.
"That was just a kiss. It was meaningless. That's what you said, Lilly, didn't you?" You were more tense than ever. Everything you said you said to appear casual like the others. But that wasn't easy.
"Are you having trouble remembering my name? I thought you liked it.", she acted sad.
Suddenly you felt guilty. It was amusing to mispronounce her name since you saw it annoyed her.
And you liked that. But-
"Oh I do like it...", you murmured.
When you dared to look at Lilith again, you almost blushed when you looked into her eyes.
"It is hot in here, isn't it?" Lilith let a strap of her dress slide off her shoulder.
"Don't get any wrong ideas," Lucy said what you were thinking.
Of course, one heard stupid remarks from her drunk colleagues.
But you couldn't even do or say anything because before you knew it, Lilith stumbled towards you and grabbed your neck before giving you a long, overwhelming kiss.
In front of all the others.
"Was this meaningless to you?" she whispered, barely audible.
You wanted to say something but you couldn't even shake your head because you were frozen.
"The party's over. I'm done," she almost fell as she pulled away from you. Lucy stood up and desperately whispered something in Lilith's ear.
"You should go too. Wanna come with me?"
YES.
You couldn't answer.
Lilith gave you a half-eyed smile before laughing at everyone else. Even if she was drunk, her laugh sounded sexy.
"Y/n," Luke spoke.
"No buddy, you're staying with us." Mr. Black seemed incredibly interested in him.
You gave Luke an I'm-so-sorry look before letting Lilith pull you out of the building.
