I screamed excitedly as I stood on the bar, overlooking the many couples dancing and hooting at me. Grinning, I popped open the medium-sized bottle of cherry vodka and glanced at my audience.

”Chug, chug, chug” the audience was chanting, clapping and cheering me on, so I laughed and downed the contents of the bottle in seconds. The crowd screamed approvingly and I raised my hands in victory, earning an even louder cheer; this party was awesome, and I had Justin to thank for that.

”Shay”

I glanced down at my best friend Angel, who was holding out her hand for me to take. I laughed, shook my head, and leaned closer to her.

”I haven't done my dance routine yet”

Angel smiled and took my hand, slowly helping me off the counter. She put her arms on my waist and I slung my right arm over her shoulders. She walked me over to the living room, helping me to one of the many sofas. The sofa was extremely soft, as though I was sitting on an actual fur bed, so I glanced up at Angel.

”The sofa is squishy” I said in excitement, spreading out on the couch as the softness radiated through me. Angel smiled and nodded her head knowingly as she removed my heels.

”I know”

I burst out laughing then, mostly because she had sounded like a wolf for some reason. I ran my hands through my hair and buried my face in the sofa.

”Wait here; I'll go get Alex or Rain”

Angel was gone by the time I sat back up, so I glanced around me lazily, wondering why I felt so thirsty all of a sudden. Pushing myself off of the couch, I stumbled back to the bar and grabbed a bottle of beer.

”So you're the birthday girl”

I turned to my right then to see a guy I was sure I had never met before; he had curly dirty blonde hair and watery brown eyes. I smiled and raised my glass of beer toward him.

”Cheers”

He laughed, taking a bottle of beer for himself and downing half of its contents in one swig. I watched as he placed the bottle on the table I turned to look at me. I smiled and turned back to my beer.

”I'm Robert”

I smiled seductively and dragged my gaze back to him.

”I'm Shay”

He nodded, smirking handsomely before he took another swig of his beer.

”So, seventeen huh?”

”The pristine age” I said with a smile, taking a sip of my beer again. He chuckled, and leaned closer to whisper in my ear.

”What happens when you turn eighteen?”

Was he flirting?

I smiled and shrugged innocently.

”Then I'll be legal” I whispered, turning my head to look at him. Our faces were so close that our noses were almost touching, and as I stared at him, my subconscious was screaming at me. In truth, I had a boyfriend but he was probably drunk off his ass somewhere with his best friend, and hadn't paid me any attention all night, so right now I didn't give a shit.

Robert smirked at me and glanced toward my lips.

”Shay!” Lolita screeched, and I turned my head to look at her, a smile stretching across my lips. Lolita sauntered over to me and I placed my hand on her hip, before turning back to Robert.

”Lolita, meet my new friend Robert”

Lolita said nothing, just glanced from me to Robert. He smiled and turned to Lolita, extending a hand.

”Please,” he flashed Lolita a smile ”call me Robby”

I smiled at him and glanced up at Lolita; she was staring at him stiffly and made no move to shake his hand.
