Beautiful and brilliant, my glittering vision is diamond

- Oh my god, this song is such a banger !

My friend Zay exclaimed. The lights turned red. As all the teenagers and young adults around us started crying out for the song that just came on and lifted their glass, I looked at Zay in confusion.

- Am I the only one here who doesn't know about this song at all ? I shouted, cringing in embarrassment.

- What the fuck, Eda ? Are you serious ?

- What ?

- How can you not know Drunk-Dazed ?

People going ha ha ! (high!), ringing in my ear is la la ! (loud!)

Everybody was singing along to the song, shouting the killing words. I loved this kind of atmosphere during parties and nightclubs. It thrilled me from head to toe.

- Huh ? What you talking about, I'm not drunk !

- No, that's the name of the song ! Drunk-Dazed !

- Oh !

Honestly I'm scared, the world's drunk in a swirling glass

People suddenly cheered. Me and Zay got pushed, she almost fell on me. I caught her arm and tried to get us in a safer place, slaloming with all the flexibility I possessed. When we arrived close to a door, we could see all that was happening.

An enormous glass pyramid was coming through the crowd. Everyone replaced their cardboard cup with multicolored drinks. Each glass only had an inch of it in, it must've had a lot of alcohol.

- Hey, let's take one as well ! Zay smiled at me playfully.

It was our own little game : who holds up the best to alcohol. We were both so bad at it but thankfully, we never had any problem because we had the habit to go somewhere calm to rest after we get drunk.

I feel it, my head's in a daze daze daze !

The song's bass hit my chest.

I'm addicted I replay-play-play !

"Oh my god, this song is a banger."

Everyone was smiling, dancing, singing.

Me and Zay waited for the glass pyramid to come to us. The Asian boy who was pushing it had platinum blonde hair, which caught my eyes right away. Unlike all the students, he was wearing an oversized white shirt and classy pants and shoes. I felt bad for him : his angelic face had this frustrated, forced-to-do-something-like expression... He visibly wasn't enjoying all the noise around him.

I took a glass and analyzed the content : I chose a vivid turquoise color. It looked like as if we put pool's water in the glass. It must've been dyed.

I looked at Zay. She looked at me. We smiled and drank bottoms up.

It was weird. Cold. Not even that strong.

Immediately, my head started buzzing like crazy. However, Drunk-Dazed kept resonating all around me. But when I lowered my head, Zay wasn't here.

I took me a few seconds to realize where I was : surrounded by hundreds of disguised people with masks. Fireworks were bursting high in the starry sky, and at the opposite side, there was a castle, a majestic structure beaming in a warm colored lighting.

I dropped my empty glass, I felt dizzy. I blinked, turned around endlessly, trying to find Zay or anyone I knew. Did I just pass out ? And wake up in the middle of a... a... carnival or something...?

Mmm, call me out from across the line, everything changes, everything crumbles

But Drunk-Dazed was still playing ! All around me, resonating, banging against my chest as if it followed my heartbeat !

I ran between people. I spied on each of their faces. They all had full carnival masks on. They watched me with eyes like dozens of pairs of moon crescents. My throat tightened, my breath shortened.

The pitiful truth behind this mask, but I never escape

Out of despair, I started screaming Zay's name. Now, great job, Eda. I got all the attention on me.

I almost tripped on my dress.

Wait.

I had a dress ?

Yes, a long snow-white tulle dress that reached my feet. Flared sleeves wrapped my arms up. I touched my face : I had a mask as well. A half one though.

I checked my hands out quickly : they felt weird, the fingers looked a bit distorted. All of this must be a dream, thankfully.

I made a way to reach a big fountain which seemed to be the middle of the feast. The castle was a few hundred meters away from it. On the other side, the fireworks kept lighting the sky up.

Revel in it, this carnival wow wow

"I'll just wait until I wake up...", I thought, closing my eyes. I was alone but everything would be fine.

The bridge of Drunk-Dazed was playing at the moment. The fact that it was still playing relieved me. Maybe I fainted at the party and all that my subconsciousness had left was the song.

I feel it, my head's in a daze daze daze !

At least it was a fun song... not one of those kids' song that get stuck in your mind for two weeks.

My heart's again is in a daze daze daze ! Can't control my body dance dance dance !

I opened my eyes, just to take a look at the people around. They weren't dancing at all, none of them was. They were just talking as if there was no song. Well, I was probably the only one who could hear it. Poor people...

No one was looking at the fireworks either. Strange, because that's pretty romantic and eye and ear-catching.

I wake myself up, burn my heart, fill my dreams
Woah, woah
I wake myself up, burn my heart, fill my dreams
Woah, woah

Suddenly, I blacked out. And opened my eyes, standing in the middle of the noisy crowd with Zay.
