frustration in his

    “I’m not going home. I’m going out.” I
answered and clicked ‘end call’. I smiled to myself as I called
Becka again. She answered after several rings and told me she was
at a local club not far from where I was.
    I made it to the club just before dark. The
music could be heard from a block away. I was able to get inside
with no effort. I walked through the crowded room scanning for
Becka and Claire. I could not find them anywhere.
    “Buy you a drink?” A man with dirty blonde
hair asked from behind me, standing uncomfortably close.
    “She doesn’t want a drink from you.” Becka
called from a few feet away.
    “Hey!” I shouted, so happy to see her.
    “Come on, I’ll get you a drink.” She said,
wrapping her arm around my waist and pulling me towards the bar. It
was so loud I could barely hear myself think. I felt my phone
vibrate in my pocket as we did a round of tequila shots. I slipped
it out and looked at the screen. It read ‘unknown caller’. I pushed
it back into my pocket.
    “Let’s do another!” I yelled and everyone
around us cheered. I drank another down as several boys gathered
around us.
    “This is Jeff.” Becka said pointing to the
drunken person beside her. He was lean but muscular and had an
amazing smile.
    “Hey!” I said, biting my lip.
    “We work out around the same time, at the gym
on campus. Let me buy you a drink.” He said, leaning in to whisper
in my ear. I nodded and he held up his hand, signaling to the
bartender to pour us more drinks. I slammed back the shot, grabbing
the beer from Jeff’s hand to wash it down. It burnt but the effects
were already taking hold and I just wanted to forget about the rest
of the day.
    My phone continued to buzz and light up in my
pocket but I ignored it. I had made a big enough fool of myself for
one day.
    “Who’s this?” Claire asked, pulling the phone
from my pants.
    “It’s no one.” I panicked and reached for the
phone. She held it back from me as she hit the answer button.
    “Hello?” she answered and my cheeks burnt red
with anger.
    “She’s right here. You should hang out with
us. We’re at the Rapture.” She said as she smiled and shot me a
wink. “See you soon.” She hung up the phone, holding it out for
me.
    “Why would you do that?” I asked.
    “You never told me you had a boyfriend!” she
replied with mock anger. Jeff made a face and I quickly
explained.
    “He’s not my boyfriend. He’s just some
asshole.” I said, waving away Jeff’s worry. He smiled and ordered
us another round. I drank the shot quickly. The room began to spin
around me with the thudding of the base from the music.
    “Are you alright?” Claire asked as she
grabbed my arm.
    “I’m fine.” I replied, pulling back from her.
“I just need to use the restroom.”
    “It’s over there.” She pointed across the
dance floor to a glowing sign that read ‘restrooms’. I nodded and
began making my way through the crowd. I was pushed all over the
place and by the time I reached the sign I felt like I was going to
be sick.
    “Are you alright?” A woman asked as I walked
through the doors. Why did everyone keep asking me that? I pushed
her aside and dashed into an empty stall just in time to be sick. A
knock came at the stall door and she pushed it open.
    “Can I get you something?” she asked. I shook
my head no but she refused to leave me alone. “Come here” she said
and held my arm, helping me off the floor. She pulled me over to
the sink and rand the cold water. “Splash this on your face.” She
said as she pulled my hair back. I did and immediately felt a
little better. “Better?” she asked. I nodded my head and grabbed
the paper towels she was holding out for me. “I think you should
call it a night.” She said and I nodded my head again.
    “Thank you” I whispered and turned to make my
way back out to my friends.
    Claire was practically glowing when I reached
her side.
    “You ready for
