The party rages on

It was well past 11 pm at this point, with the doors having been closed for over an hour. Up to 40 people were in the living room talking, dancing, drinking and smoking. The girls were celebrating the end of a semester.

Beatrice and Pritha were both dancing along to the music near the middle, both were pretty drunk holding a red plastic cup filled with a lot of alcohol. Their arms were over each others shoulders and their red cups in the other both singing along to one of the pop songs playing at the top of the lungs. Both were quite sweaty and inebriated but ultimately having a blast. Adeline had taken a break and sat down in the couch area just watching them, smiling from afar with a half full bottle of soju near her.

"I'll take a bit of a break, you have fun Beatrice." Pritha spoke to Beatrice's ear as she half nodded, probably not fully hearing what she said. She pushed through the hot crowd and sat right by Adeline.

"Not going to lie, I was in a pissy mood earlier but this party was rather fun. Thank you." Adeline said to Pritha in a soft and geniune tone.

Pritha's eyes relaxed and reached in for a small shoulder hug. "Awww, of course. Since August it's youu who's been my sister, my orrrientation buddy, and o-of course a good friend."

Through her slightly slurred words Adeline took it to heart.

Abby sat a couple feet from them on her phone, still annoyed and overstimulated by the constant noise as she took another hit of her vape before blowing it out on her phone while texting Zoe.

Abby turned off her phone and leaned back in contempt, as she started to take another hit of the vape.

Tessa could barely stand at this point as Angela had to walk her outside the house. After nearly an hour of dancing and loud music it had exhausted the both of them, so when Tessa showed signs of tiring, Angela decided to take a break with her. The cool chilly breeze calmed the two down as they shut the door behind them, muffling the loud music. Sweat poured down visibly on the two's faces as Angela laid Tessa down on the doorstep wiping her face first.

"SSorry that I'm ssoo weak right now... "

"Don't sweat it."

Tessa's eyes were half closed as she laid on the side of the wall while Angela hovered near her and checked her phone to see the time. 11:11 PM.

"Hey you know what they say about 11:11, right? There's a thing where you're supposed to make a wish, since its the angel number."

"Uh... I thinkk?"

"What do you wish for?"

"That I was sober and in my bed right now, ffuck I had too much to drink."

Angela laughed before she sat down right next to Tessa. "You know what I hope...? That we'll continue to be good friends."

"Really?" Tessa turned to look into Angela's eyes as her eyes opened up a bit.

"Of course." Angela smiled back.

And then everyone surrounding the house of Caitlyn Nguyen never moved again.

The loud, deafening music pierced the hot air in the house as everyone stood still. The lights still shone across the floor but the loud talking and stomping ceased. The shadows casted by the light were all completely still and paused. Especially in one of the bigger crowds where Beatrice was in.

Beatrice stood completely still in the crowd, with her plastic red cup and blonde hair plastered to her face with sweat. Her head was tilted a little up to face the DJ and lights with a frozen smile.

Pritha froze right next to Adeline mid-word. Her mouth was a little unnaturally shaped as Adeline had on a blank soft smile facing toward her. The two college freshman stayed pristine and thoughtless.

Abby was frozen mid inhale as the smoke from the vape stayed deep in her lungs. Her annoyed expression now became her permanent look, never feeling the pleasure of nicotine ever again. Or anything again as a matter of fact.

Zoe was on the other corner of the living room, chugging a shot of vodka as her eyes were closed and chin tilted upwards. Her hard nipples poked through the dress as she stood there unquestioning and unresisting.

Tessa was now suddenly perfectly still and balanced despite being very drunk, her eyes were locked in on Angela's eyes, who was frozen smiling at her. Angela's jeans tightly squeezed the figure of her legs as she just sat there.

Elias stepped in front of the two girls sitting at the porch, and crouched down to look at the two. They didn't react. Didn't flinch. He poked at Angela's cheeks, as she wobbled slightly. They were ready to be collected.

"This is gonna be a good one." Elias' arousal began to form.
