Chapter 20

Laugh now cry later - Drake 🎶

"Guyysss..." 

Priscy draws our attention as she clicks her glass of wine with a fork

"It's fifteen minutes to twelve alreadyyy..." 

she announces

"Whooo...!!!" The whole room screams and shouts excitedly

"We what..."

"We move!!" As we all respond cheering with hands in the air

"Ok..ok..people..lets just go over to the hotel now and have our own fun...!"

"We gat you girll"

"We move!"

"Yesssss thats on period!"

As voices exclaim responsively with a loud cheer

I hastily walk over to the bar to get water...i dont understand why but my throat is suddenly dry every now and then

I follow her small crowd and we get to the executives..room.

We all settle down while Jerry and Priscy are making some music shuffle and connecting wires to the mp with the help of some of her friends.

The music goes on...

There's some murmuring...almost time...that's all i hear and i get the clue

Priscy soon walks back to us with two bottles of wine 

"Please TJ lend me a hand...I want to go get the tray and cups in the bedroom"a dark girl with afro hair walks up to her and sets the wine on the table...

I think I want to cut my hair and transition as well, her hair is so beautiful with how it looks full.

Imagine dying my hair maroon..laughing my ass out, c'mon who am i kidding? My parent would just disown me that very minute I return home with my hair coloured.. I mean I can attach coloured wigs or wavons but not changing my natural hair to coloured... it's just a thought though

A loud cheer goes...obviously you can tell how superbly excited we all are

"One two goo...!" A deep bazz voice calls on us from behind as priscy approaches us

"Happy birthday to you ...."and we all sing along

I walk over to priscy and we hold on to each other in a hug for over two minutes...I slightly pull off and fill a glass with wine...

"Happy Birthday baby..." i 

turn to the others 

"You see...coming to school..I prayed to God for a divine roommate to add to my peace..and then you were sent...not just a roomie but a friend.."a loud cheer goes on

"Ok...i wish you love..peace..happiness and all other good"

To many more years" we all raise our glass

"...added onto you...happy..BIRTHDAY" the crowd help me finish and theres an overwhelming cheer and claps...

Priscy drags me into a hug.. 

Another girl, 

"happy birthday Priscy...to many more exciting and glorious years with you.."she raises her glass

It goes on and on..with each and everyone saying something nice and wishing her a good one..while others hands her their gifts.

     

Chocolates..junks...and drinks are later served then we cut the cake..my favourite..red velvet with a creamy icing 

"Lets play concentration concentration" a guy on glasses says aloud..obviously the game befits his nerdy appearance..i smile to myself and my eyes meet Drew again.. this time he has a relaxed face with a champagne cup in his hand and the other in his pocket

"Ouuch"i didnt even realize i was biting my lip the whole time

I look up timid to meet his gaze and he smiles mouthing a I'm sorry

Whatever...

I turn my face away

The game goes on for five rounds...I'm having so much fun..i thank my stars in my mind 

"Lets play never have i ever" Priscy screams

"Yhhh...i agree"  

I feel lost

"Which is that" i ask the girl beside me

"So here are the rules...if you haven't any question you'll take a gulp of this mixed vodka and white wine."priscy informs us

"Like it is sort of nasty...a bottle is spinned and if the head faces you..you inform us on something nasty..gibberish..crazy..weird or naughty you've not tried then take a drink from the liquid 

and everyone takes turn...if you haven't you take a sip and if you have you pass"

Oh wow..so much for a game title...

So definitely now I have to drink..just a sip though 

We all form a small circle and the bottle is placed in the centre..priscy spins it and the head faces jayy..

He mumbles, "err.."

"I've done many things" he says with a confused look...they laugh

"Ok...never have I ever driven a taxi"

Oops....thats a good one...alot of us obviously haven't..we're most likely to only for a cab.

So the cup is filled up and it goes round to everyone to take a sip

Priscy spins again...the head stops abruptly but we're not certain if it is pointing at Noah or the girl beside her..so she spins it again..this time it focuses on Jayy

He grins and then looks around as if searching for someone or something...I follow his gaze and my eyes meet with Drew who's busy joblessly staring at me..as usual I ignore since we have no business with each other and follow up jayy search...on me!

He grins loudly.. "never have I ever...kissed a guy"

He takes the cup and sips with his fixed gaze on me..

I feel my eyes heat up and right now it feels like my anger is slowly escalating...how cruel of him...what exactly is his aim

Others take their turn

My eyes are still fixed on him and I can now feel the cold cup on my arm skin...as I try to collect it...

"Jeeez...!" 

"oh..I'm so sorry" 

I'm on the verge of transferring aggression on her for spilling this sort of throat burning ethanol on my laps...

"I'm not playing again" my voice is a little held back at the hot anger about to show itself...I stand to my feet and walk away to the bedroom.

Some girls are on the bed and the air here is warm compared to the lounge that was air conditioned....I manage to find a stool since the bed is occupied...

Taking out my phone..I scroll over to super Mario's game to distract myself and cool off.

 Its almost 1.00 am and both boys and girls soon start leaving to their various rooms..I guess.

 I walk back to the lounge and no one's present not even Priscy..I'm sure she's with jerry by now.

I wouldn't want to spoil their fun so let me just lay peacefully on the couch. The air conditioner is just directly above me and i lie to face it and take in a heavy breath and try to let loose my state of mind. Closing my eyes,

"Heyy.." a familiar voice calls out

I flip open my eyes to see Lewis standing upright before me.

"Heyy...you not asleep?"

"I was going to sleep on the couch you know...but..."he says cooly

I really dont have the strength in me to start contemplating if he's welcome..but all i know is he was good to go when we had our talk earlier..

"Ok" as I adjust to lie sideways by the edge of the couch closest to the wall.

 I can feel his warmth. He turns around and his breath hits the skin on my neck.. Renee stop thinking and sleep..i tell myself and shut my eyes.
