I heard footsteps and we both looked towards the door to see Kelly coming in, she was still dressed in her sport' jersey with bids of sweat on her body.

"Hope I'm not interrupting anything?" She asked with wide eye before I walked a few steps backwards away from Lan, realising how close we were.

"Nah, I was just leaving," he replied, taking one glance of me before walking away, doing this weird 'boy's handshake' with Kelly before leaving the class.

"Hmmm....I'll try not to ask any questions," Kelly said with a mischievous glint in her eyes.

"Let's go!" I said, walking past her to leave the class.

This is all her fault.

7:30 in the evening, I was sitting on my dressing table, doing the final touches of my make-up.

I was dressed in a silver coloured sleeveless dress which stopped just above my thighs and hugged my body completely, exposing a little bit of my cleavage. I had a pair of black stilettoes on my leg with accompanying black purse and accessories.

I felt on fire.

I still wondered if I was making the right choice. I mean, it's just one party right?

Satisfied with the way I look, I journeyed down the staircase, getting to the sitting room, I noticed the couches littered with clothes and Ivy sitting on one of them still in her undies.

"What's wrong?" I asked and she noticed my presence.

"Just not in the mood," she replied, then it clicked in my head that today is her and Zach's date night.

"Are you meant to be out with Zach tonight?"

"Yeah, it's till 8pm."

"Okay.....you don't look excited."

"Do I need to?" She replied.

Something was definitely wrong.

"What's wrong?" I asked, she hesistated for a while.

"He's cheating on me."

I was shocked for a moment, Zach wasn't that kind of person. He loves Ivy very much and he can do anything for her, I'm a witness to that.

It was kinda weird hearing such coming out of her mouth.

"Are you sure? With who? You can't just say things you aren't sure of."

"I don't need to be sure....I can feel it," she said before standing up from the couch and heading towards the kitchen.

I took that as my cue to leave, we would be talk better later tonight or probably tomorrow, atleast it's going to be a Saturday. I just couldn't imagine that Zach would ever do that, maybe she was just feeling insecure.

I left the house and walked towards my car, I was already over 30 minutes late.

*

I parked in a comfortable spot in the parking lot of the club. It was already beyond 8pm and the party had started over an hour ago.

Stepping out of the car, I could already hear the noise coming from inside including the loud music oozing around. The surrounding air already reeked of sweat, alcohol, cocain and ugh.....sex.

Don't get me wrong, I could be all crazy and stuff but I still got myself intact and maybe that's what people don't really understand.

I took straight confident steps into the entrance and I could see a number of eyes already looking my way.

Yeah I loved it! That attention!

I believe I deserve all the fun tonight after the stressful hell of a week and nobody, not even Lan will deprive me of it.

I'm Stella Downer! No one has the right to control me.

Stepping into the main hall, there was a crowd of sweaty and hormonal teenagers and adults moving crazily to the rhythm of the loud deafening music, different colors of light flashing around and different sounds being heard at the same time.

That's the spirit!

I decided to go in search of anybody farmiliar and I'd hope I could see Daniel. He wasn't aware I was coming.

No one was aware I was coming.

"Hey," Someone called out, I turned to see an unfarmiliar face of a guy probably around his early twenties.

"Hey," I replied, feigning a smile.

"Wanna play?" He asked.

"What?!" I asked, shouting because of the sound of the surrounding music.

"Truth or dare!" He replied.

"Sure," I answered without even thinking about it, one way to start the fun.

I could feel his eyes roam round my body with a kind of satisfying smirk on his face.

"Follow me."

We walked towards a large table, it had over fifteen chairs and most of the chairs already had occupants though some people were standing.

"Have your seat," he offered with a gentleman gesture.

I smiled before making myself comfortable on the seat.

The table became filled up as more people got interested, some people stood while some came to spectate.

I could notice a guy resting his head on the other side of the table.

Few seconds later, he rose his head up and not to my greatest surprise, it was Lan.

*

"Show us your nipple," Lex, a guy in my school dared a familiar 'red head' girl.

There were a few noise and shouts from around and she was smiling profusely. She stood up from her chair, removed her top before plopping her breast out of her bra.

The noise and laughter increased when she walked over to Lex, the guy that dared her and rubbed her breast all over his face.

I couldn't help but laugh too, trust me, it was hilarious.

Rounds of truth or dare had been going on but it hadn't gotten to my turn yet, I just found myself having so much fun.

The rule of the game was to do your dare or answer correctly to 'truth' questions, if you can't, you'll have to take a shot of whiskey but if it happens more than once, you'll have to be given another dare or you pay off an agreed amount and leave the game.

"Lan, it's your turn," the same guy that brought me here exclaimed.

His eyes searched round the table and it stopped when it got to me.

My breathe hitched.

"Truth or dare?" He asked, his eyes on me.

I tried looking backwards, I just wished it was that kind of scenario when it wasn't me but the person behind me.

It really was me.

"Dare," I replied, trying to be as firm as ever, 'truth' is for weaklings.

There was a sound of noise and hails coming from the table and I took it as a cue to mentally stand tall.

Ofcourse I would be able to do whatever he dares me to.

"Kiss me."

Was I hearing right?

Is he out of his senses?!

Maybe I was wrong when I said I could do anything.

I could kiss anyone.

But not him!

The crowd cheered so expectantly but I couldn't meet any of their gazes.

I felt like a loser.

I wanted to do it, any girl can do anything to have his lips on hers.

But I just couldn't, like there was this invisible force pulling me back.

I stood up from my seat and walked towards him.

He stood up from his seat so I was standing right in front of him.

"You reek of sweat and alcohol, I'll pass," I said, mustering enough courage I could before taking a glass of whiskey from the table which I immediately took down in a gulp.

"Excuse me," I said before walking away, far from him, far from the table.

*

I know my excuse wasn't good enough and I didn't know how the people around took it but I just couldn't...

Couldn't let him have his way.

I was looking for somewhere good enough to clear my head, I felt like I was fading, things weren't this way before.

The confident 'don't give a fuck about what you think' girl was fading.

I easily found my way to the bathroom, this wasn't my first time coming here.

I opened the bathroom and got in, I closed the door and turned around, my eyes opened wide...

I couldn't believe the scene occuring right in front of me.

Daniel and Veronica....
