Chapter Eight: Scorpio Enchiladas.
______________________

Noise steamed into ears as we left the car, the day was actually warm and sunny.

Apparently that was a good reason for Claire Hathaway to throw a pool party at her pent house.

I wasn't into the idea as soon as I got there, firstly I wasn't feeling the so called "heat" everyone else was praising and secondly I was third wheeling once again.

Imagine this, I'm in my room reading like caught up in a good book, then boom Annie bursts in and throws a bikini and shorts at my head.

The reason Anie insisted I come was because of my optimistic nature.

Screw that! 

It was because it takes a long ass time for me to get drunk, how nice of them to include me in thier activities as a getaway driver. Claire's parties usually involve drugs so she was being safe.

I mentally face palm myself for my cringy mind scape,  I mean honestly any one who's actually watched me or looked at me on the out side would probably assume my mind is in order, but heck here I am with a brain that makes dad jokes for a living.

How I maintain basic sanity is beyond me.

Next thing I know I'll be making butt jokes that the teen titans would include in thier script and no not the original teen titans,  the new teen titan Go shirbit that cartoon network graced us super fans with.

I'm kidding Teen Titans Go is a disgrace that had me wanting to burn my TV and proceed to rewatch Sailor Moon,  or suing Cartoon Network for visual pollution.

"Come on Ari,  smile! "

Annie laughed and I rose an eyebrow at her, did she really expect her anti-social sister who pisses people off for the fun to smile at a party that was filled with drunk university students?

Wow I'd have thought that by now Annie knew  pissoff and Arianna Sedeo are synonyms.

"I'd smile if I was waring black." I say blankly looking down at the light blue bikini and jean shorts i was wearing.

I'm so sorry Batman I've betrayed your darkness.

"You look good. " Duncan said and I decided there and then to ignore him and have a drink.

I ended up drinking a vodka shot and sitting at the edge of the pool that was filled with guys, once in a while one of the drunker ones would try to talk to me.

Of course I'd end up kicking him, literally.

Only a fool would ruin my peace.

I inhaled deeply and stared at the night sky and that's when Michael Angelo's David came to life and graced me with his presence, his shoulder length hair fell forward and he smirked at me,
"Want to dance senorita?" His accent it was Spanish.

Someone please hand me a condom I've found walking sex!

Tall√

Handsome√

Godlike√

Spanish√√√√√√√√

I stand up playing it cool trying to remember where I'd seen his face.

Probably a magazine cover.

True.

He held out his hand and I took it,  I know my star sign would allow me to kick this guy in the junk if he tested me.

Oh and by the way I'm a Scorpio.

He lead me to the dance floor and we danced, I had to admit it was kind of nice.

His hands were everywhere and I didn't mind at all.

Let me be honest he smelled like Gatorade and he was fun to talk to, he was a flirt.

"So your a goth?" He asked and I sighed,
"Nope, I'm a human." He smirked,
"I knew you'd be interesting the moment I saw you playing soccer." That's when it clicked,
"Adonis, your name is Adonis. " he nodded running a hand through his hair, he inched closer to me and although I'd have killed to kiss him someone named Annabella pulled me away, to the living room.

"This is my sister, now I dare you to say you sing better than her." She slurred and I rose an eyebrow at her,
"What's going on? "
"Well this bitch thinks she can sing better than you,  but you sound like Ariana Grande." I face palmed myself,
"So you can't sing?"

I looked at the girl who said it her pitch black and her eyes following suit, annoying me.

I don't like her face.

"She can! I already bet two grand on it! " my eyes widened,
"Oh fuck no, Annie you didn't. " she shrugged and I had no choice,
"Fine I'll sing." They started playing a track and the girl across from me started rapping in fact she didn't rap she disgraced.

I'm a Latina so... Her trying to hit me in the face with I like it by Cardi B was getting on my nerves espesially her miss pronunciation of the Spanish part.

I held onto my sanity like Annie who clearly heard the fongkong Spanish oh but everyone else ate it up.

I swear she said enchilada at some point.

Like the fuck bro?

When she finished they applauded and I told the DJ my request and he put it on.

I normally sing when I'm shit faced.

But hey let's do this.

I let the words flow,  and everyone froze at the sound, my sister smiled as the chorus came up and their jaws dropped, bet they hadn't expected that.

At some point I closed my eyes and sang.

I felt my hands move to tone the move ments.

Some people were recording me.

"Saw your face heard your name.
Gotta get with you, girls like girls like boys do.
Nothing new.
Isn't this why we came.
tell me that you feel it too.
Tell me girls like girls like boys do nothing new.
Girls like girls like boys do
Nothing new. "

I took a deep breath and looked around they all clapped and whistled.

Annie hugged me and I froze before hugging back.

The night ended there with me taking both Duncan and Annie home.

Duncan was drunk, staring out the window with Anie sleeping on his lap.

They were cute together, sort of in a cliche romance kind of way.

"Why did you dye your hair?" Duncan asked and i looked at him through the rear view mirror,
"Because i wanted to be different." He nodded,
"I thought it was to differentiate yourself from Annie coz you tow look almost identical when you have no make up on." I gripped the wheel harder,
"I'm not trying to differentiate myself from her." He rose an eyebrow before shrugging,
"Just know that your whole persona is fake." I wanted to crash into a tree just to get him to keep quiet,
"Your naturally a happy person, an introvert whom enjoys a good read, your also violent but you definitely aren't depressed or gothic, not even emo." I rolled my eyes driving on.

Once we made it home Duncan took Annie to her room and i went to bed after a shower.

That night was hectic even in my dream, because once again i was drowning in that water.
