Yeah, Finally

Drunk inattentive people, loud music, sticky floors, and passed-out corpses. Yes, this was definitely the right place. Even if someone died here no one would realize it. The Loft, as it turned out, was the most famous pub around. It was especially crowded due to fresher's week. Its closeness to the campus made it a popular stop for the students.

Yay for the captive market.

A saw a few familiar faces, some ignored me, some "heyed" me. I think I spotted my elder sister passed out on the floor. Also, I think Lana was busy drawing circles on the poor passed-out girl's face. So long for bffs, or maybe this is what friendship was supposed to be like. Anyway, I would never know. I only had my loyal followers (slaves) or rivals (enemies) there was no other option. But there was one that came really close, and today was my first meeting with her.

A looked around for a few minutes. Every time someone met my eyes, I classified them as a potential assassin. Every time I felt something touch me, I checked for bleeding. Every time the beat dropped, I ducked to dodge a bullet.

Living life as a paranoid fool was too taxing on my nerves, and I had no way of knowing who my mystery "friend" was. Not seeing anything better to do, I decided to drink a little. That would help me calm down, wouldn't it?

'Rum and Coke.'

'Rum and Coke.'

'Another.'

'Rum and Coke.'

'One...More.'

'Rum and Coke.'

You can stop drinking, I am not going to kill you.

I turned around to look for the source of the voice. Only to be greeted by moist air. There was no one around me. Seems like drinking was not the solution.

Don't bother, you'll not be able to find me.

Well, I am clearly drunk.

'Water.'

'Water.'

Nice choice, but you'll need to be completely sober for this one.

And before I could cook another reason for my hallucination, I felt a jolt to my head. Suddenly my mind was clear again, as if I had not drunk at all.

Fine I believe you. Where to?

...

Hello! Voice in my head?

Shh...

And with that I slowly sipped my water, lost in a trance, waiting.

A sudden tap on my back broke the trance, and I turned around to find the most unlikely person in the world looking down at me.

'Ma...ndy?'

'The one and only.' She said, smiling.

Have fun, we'll catch up later
