Just for Tonight

Chapter 2

Episode 2

MARE

I just finished arranging my cloth in the closet and was arranging my books on the study table before the door squeak open and Nina ran in happily and slump on her bed.

She had been gone for hours, I thought she said she only wanted to check up on something. I didn't say anything instead I just continue to arrange my books.

"Mare"She called and I turn resting my hand on the table.

"Yes"

"Are less busy tonight?"She asks.

"Yeahhhhh"I stress my words wondering why she is asking.

"Do you know about the freshman party tonight?"she asks.

"There is a party?"I asks like a novice.

"Yeah and you will be going with me tonight"She said.

"No I can't"I rejected the offer immediately.

"Why? it going to be fun and guess who is setting up the party"

"Who?"

"Bryan Banks"She said and I scoff.

"I don't anyone by that name and it would be more convenient for me if I have a good sleep tonight for my class tomorrow"I replied and she approach me.

"Come on, please I don't want to go alone"She pleaded using a puppy dog eyes and I laugh.

"That doesn't work on me"I said and continue to arrange my books

"Pleaseeeeeeeee"She dragged and I sigh deeply.

"Fine but I won't accompany you to anywhere after tonight"

"I promise"She said.

"And since I'm attending a stranger party, you have to promise to stay with me throughout the party"

"I promise"

"Fine"I said.

"Do you want to have lunch with me?"She asks.

"Sure I'm starving"I said and she laugh.

"Come with me"She said and I drop the last book on the table and quickly grab my phone before following her out of the room.

"No, never I can't wear that"I said as Nina show me different dressed from her wardrobe that are too revealing for my liking.

"Comm'n Mare, this is the last cloth"She said and I sigh.

"I can just stay home"I replied, I really wish I could turn back time and tell her I can't attend the party.

"Okay, how about this one? it'll will look good on your flat tummy"she said licking her lips and I chuckled.

"No"I rejected.

"Comm'n"

"I can just wear my normal casual wears"I replied.

"No way"She rejected and I was about to say something when my phone ring interrupting me.

"Excuse me"I said before picking up my phone and it a call from Mom. Oh my God, I totally forgot to call her since I arrived.

? Mom

?Mare, it so good to hear your voice *she said calmly*

?Yeah

?Did you arrive already?

? Yeah, I was busy unpacking and couldn't call

?It fine, I've you eaten?.

?Yes mom a friend helped me in locating the cafeteria.

?Oh that good

?Have you eaten too Mom?

?Yeah *I felt she was lying but I don't want to push things

?Okay Goodnight mom

?Sweet dream dear *She end the call and I drop the phone on the bed.

"You must really miss your Mom"she said and I nod.

"Don't worry, you will get used to it. I was like this too during my first week here"She said

"Cheer up girl"She added and a smile tug on my lips.

I'm starting to consider her as a good friend all of sudden apart from her crazy personality she is actually cool to be with.

"Go change into this fast"She threw me a dress and gave me no chance to talk before she walk into the bathroom and I frown. Exactly the part I hate about her.

After staring at the dress for a long time I finally decide to put it on and see what it comes out to look on my body

"O_M_G, you look stunning in this Mare and there is no way I will let you pull it off"Nina said as she walk out of the bathroom dress in a gown similar to mine but hers as some opening at the back.

"I don't like this it revealing all my curves and In addition too short"I said drawing the dress down. It just too skimpy and barely cover my thighs.

"You don't have a choice now"She said and I kept staring at myself in the mirror. All thanks to the fact I hardly eat my tummy is completely flat and my hips are way too curvy but not too big and I have a long leg like that of a model too.

"Nina"A girl bashed into our room but let out a gasped when she saw me.

"Omg, Nina you did tell me you have a model roommate"She said.

"She just arrived today and will be attending the party with us"She replied.

"Wow, I'm Linda"She stretch her hand out and I took it.

"Mare"

"Wow nice name, I'm Nina best friend"She introduced and I just nod.

"Are you guys ready?"She asks.

"No, I need to help Mare with her make up"

"No I like been natural"I argued.

"Everyone likes been natural but a party like this, trust me you won't want to be natural"She said and push to me to sit on the table and Linda pass her the make up kit.

I don't really know what I look like right now but sincerely I admire myself after Nina finish up my makeup. She applied more mascara before finally settling my brows and oops she is done.

"Thanks"I muttered.

"You are welcome"She replied and I smile.

"We are running late girls"Linda Interrupted us and we both laugh.

I grab my phone and purse and we head out of the room.

Linda has a car so we were able to reach the venue really fast. I gasped at the effable mansion at my front and the number of crowd just outside the house will get your jaws on the floor completely.

"Come girls let have fun"Linda screamed and I follow them into the house. No one can ever believe such house exist in Petraka. The person living in this house must be very rich and popular.

Immediately I walk in, I noticed we were been stalked by thousands of eye but Nina and Linda weren't bothered so I straightened up and walk confidently as I follow them to the bar.

"Hey girlfriend"a guy walk up to us and hug Nina then Linda.

"Hey"he just wave at me with his eye full of lust.

"Meet Mare, she is new"Nina Introduced.

"Oh I see, Nice meeting you Mare I'm Chris"he said and I force a smile on.

"Do you want to dance?"he asks me directly.

"No I don't dance"I shouted so he could hear me.

"Oh"

"Comm'n Mare"Nina persuaded but I insist.

"See you later girls"Linda grab his hand and wrap it round her waist walking away with him.

"What the hell is that?"

"Stop acting sixteen"Nina said and I scoff.

"Whatever but I just said I'm not going to leave your side okay"I said and she nod.

"I will have vodka mixed"Nina said to the bartender and I wonder what it is.

"Two please"She said to the bartender and he mix random drinks and gave it to us.

"What is this?"I asks Nina and she exchange look with the bartender.

"Just drink"She fake a laugh and I scoff chugging it in annoyingly.

What the hell!!! My throat hurt as hell.

"What is this?"I said.

"Her first time"Nina muttered to the bartender.

"Oh"that was the only thing he replied.

"Water please"I ordered, he gave me some and I chug it in immediately relieving me a bit.

"That was horrible"I Muttered to her and she laugh.

"It because it your first time just try it again and you will realize it isn't horrible"She said.

"No I'm fine"

"Comm'n try it"She said and pass me her own. I don't like the way the bartender was staring at me so I gulp it down at one shot and he fill my glass again making me exchange glance with Nina but she just shrug innocently.

"Whatever"I took another shot and before I knew it I had six shot already.

"I think you should stop drinking"Nina warned.

"Huh? I'm not drunk"I protested.

"Hey beautiful girls"a guy walk towards us and my eye were getting blur and clear.

"So cute"I said and touch the guy.

"Mare"Nina called.

"Huh?"I staggered a bit but the guy caught me.

"Are you sure you are okay?"Nina asks.

"Hundred percent sure"I assured.

"Do you want a dance?"the guy asks.

"Sure"I said and he pull me away to the dance floor.

"Mare"Nina called but the music was too loud I couldn't hear her and I was dancing out my life out until my eye caught a table.

"Nina"I called as I approach the table.

"Nina"

"Hey girl come back"someone was pulling me back but I snatch his hand away and approach the table.

What is Nina doing there?.
