Part three.
There I was, going to a club, for the first time in my entire life.
      It took a whole lot of convincing, for Anna to finally get me to agree on the clubbing idea. We were going with two of her friends, both boys, who lived off campus. The campus consisted of schools and administrative offices, and there were also some boarding houses there for early students. This was where Anna and I lived. There were also other houses, cites off campus, for students who came late, or did not like living on campus, these were even more exoensive than on campus rooms, and this was where her friends lived. We were to spend the night in one of their rooms, while they would both stay in the other room, because our gate was closed by 8pm, and no magic could make security open it, if it was not a severe ermegency.
We went for shopping in the morning, and she paid for all the clothes and shoes we got, because apparently, she was making up for bad behaviour, not been friendly, and forcing me to go clubbing, although she swore I'll have alot of fun. I really did not have any problem with loud music, but I had a very big issue with sweaty bodies touching my skin.
When we came back home, it was around 2 in the afternoon. We made potatoes chips and egg omlets, then decided to rest for some hours before going to burn calories, as she said.
We were up by 6pm. Freshened up, and got dressed. Anna insisted I wear a black leather belted skirts, exposing both sides of my hips, supported by thin transparent straps, under a white strapless crop top, that exposed part of my belly and had crisscrossing  straps on the back. I decided to wear my high black sneakers, with red soles, from a brand I couldn't identify.  I decided to hold up my faux human hair, and let a stran fall on both sides of my face, put on light make up, with a touch of strewberry lipgloss, et voila. Anna on her own path, wore a simple black leather gown, on some killer laced up heels. "For the height" she said, and she did her hair like mine. Anna was short, not stunted, just the average short girl, she was also curvy, fair, wild eyes and tinted her hair navy blue, regurlarly. What a colour to choose. I on the other hand, am tall, curvy, not like Anna, but curvy, brown skin that matched my brown eyes, and tinted blonde hair. We looked great together, as Anna's heels made us same height, the way she walked on it, she was used to. Not sure I can survive a night on heels.
We were both set to go, when a car hunked from outside. I did not know the club we were visiting, since I knew none, nor the boys we were going out with.
"Everything checked?" Anna asked me, as she put ours phones and IDs in her purse. I wanted to hold something, so I took the purse from her. That was when I realised my palms were sweaty, and I was feeling heat, while it was so cold. Anna eyed me.
"You look great" she said.
"You look even better" I said, with a husky voice.
"Nervous?" she smiled at me.
"Very nervous".
"You'll be fine, we're not going to war, we're going to have fun, put away the tension, okay" she said " I'm gonna be by you, always stick by me, or the guys we'll be with, you don't want to get missing". I nodded, because it was all I could do.  The car hunked again.
"We need to go, Kelvin gets impatient" Anna said.
      The club was just 15minutes away from the house, so the drive was not long. Kelvin was tall, dark and handsome, with bad boy vibes, judging from his dreads hair, tattoos and torn jeans. While Jones was quiet, reserved, and had tattoos all over his left arm. So much for a quiet guy.
The club was called La Liga, because apparently, the owner build the club from money he made from betting on football. Before getting inside, I begged Anna to keep to her promise, and she agreed with a smile and a kiss on my cheek. It was cool, despite the biting cold outside, inside was hot, I guess because of the amount of people in here, packed together and dancing to the tune of the music. Thank God we did not have to stay down, because I was already extremely nervous. We passed the dancing crowd, and were ushered upstairs. Anna whispered to me it was first class. Apparently, those who never wanted to mingle with the crowd, those who loved comfort or had too much to spend preferred first class.
We sat on a round table with stools, instead of the round couches, Anna said dancing was better when you could just slip out of your stool and slid back in, I sat on the stool, leaning on the wall, one leg on an iron bar on the table. A waitress, dressed in a see through white shirt, short black skirt that will reveal everything under it if she just bent down an inch, on "fuck me" heels, that made her stand tall, with her cleavage almost falling out of her shirt, came for our order. Kelvin ordered for us, and the waitress went for our orders.
"You look nervous" Kelvin said. No one answered, I turned and realised he was talking to me, sitting to my left,on the other side of the circle, he was smiling at me, and I was rubbing my palms up and down both side of my hands. I had been staring at the waitress as she left.
"Ohh" I started " its my first time, so I think I have the right to be nervous". He laughed, and I felt a little bit relaxed, just a tini bit. I also realised part of my nervousness was going out with strange boys. I smiled nervously at him.
" What's funny?" I asked.
"I just can't believe someone as hot as you, has never been to a club" he said.
"Wait, so because I'm hot, I'm supposed to be bad?" I questioned him. He put his right hand on his left chest, faining hurt. I laughed, maybe bad boy was not a terrible person.
"So, you're trying to say those of us who go clubbing are bad people?" he asked " even you?" he concluded, looking at me. We all burst out laughing, including Mr quiet guy, accross from me.
The waitress  brought what Kelvin ordered, a bottle of Jack daniel tennessee and Jamesons Irish whisky, with four wine glasses. Nothing sweet for me. Was he trying to kill us? and wait a minute, how much did these cost? I thought, I did not have enough money for these expensive drinks. I knew they were expensive because we were in first class, and they were my mothers first loves.
I turned to my right and asked Anna how much they cost, adding that I did not have money for that. She told me not to worry my little head, because what I did not know could not bother me. I left it, but I was not paying for that.
They filled all four glasses, boys with tennessee and us girls, Irish. They clinked glasses and I followed suit, but when they took sips, my glass just ended beside my mouth and the harsh scent that hit me, made me put it back down.
"What's wrong?" Anna asked, looking confused.
I shrugged, and it was like they all umderstood.
"either you've never drank that or alcohol in general or nothing harsh" Jones said, not a question.
"All of the above" I said, and they all went wide eyed.
"Wow" Anna said.
"Where did you grow up girl?" Kelvin questioned.
" I've never really been one for wildlife, its bookwork for me, alcohol is never part of the plan" I stated.
"Well" Kelvin said, " its about to be part of the plan baby girl".
Just like that, I was forced to drink alcohol for the first time. Well, not really faced, because I did not have a big problem with it, they just helped me through it, and it was getting to my head, just a little. I was still on my first glass, but that was going to be my last.
"Lets go dance" Jones said, as Anna and Kelvin were already on the dance floor, not together.
"What" I shouted, the loudness of the music was now getting to me.
"I said lets dance" he shouted back.
" I got you the first time, just that I can't even dance to save my life".
"Ohh you'll learn", was what I heard, before I was got dragged to the dance floor.
We danced infront of Anna, she was very good, but only God knows what I was doing, in the name of dancing. Anna and I were facing eachother, while some guy held her from behind and she rocked on him, Jones was still behind me. We danced for sometime, and just when we were going to rest, Rihanna's work began playing and I was swept away. I loved this music. Apparently, Anna loved it too, because we both stood there and began dancing, rocking bumps to no one in particular. A guy held Anna from behind possessively, and she flinched. What was that?. He started dancing and pulling her backwards, with Anna wide eyed, until they disappeared from my view. Whoa.
I went back up to where we were, and asked for a bottle of water. I was already exhausted. Few minutes later, Anna emerged and called me to the ladys restroom.
" I'm leaving" she said, not looking at me.
"What's going on?" I asked.
"That was Zach" she said. I'm sure if you touched my eyes at that moment, they would have fallen off.
" Zach?" I questioned, not like I did not hear the first time, "the we broke up Zach? Why?" I just had to know.
"He wants to talk" she said. I was already boiling with anger.
"So you are ditching me because your ex who said you were not good enough wants to talk?"
"Don't put it like that Mel, I really want to hear him out, he sounds sincere and you know I still love him" she looked at me, with watery eyes. I pitied her, I would have done same if I were in her shoes, I guess.
"Do you have to spend the night with him, to fix things" I asked, doubt clear in my voice.
"You know" she smiled weakly" make up sex and all that".
"Ewww, and what if he doesn't make sense, what if you guys don't agree?"
" Then goodbye sex".
And just like that, I was going to follow two strangers to their house, with no one to guide or protect me, in case anything happened.
-
  The guys turned out to be great though. Although Jones did try to kiss me, but Kelvin helped me out, apologising for him, because he was tipsy, and was not in control. They let me take one of their rooms, and even lent me a t-shirt to sleep in.
