This piece I wrote over spring break. I was pretty much grounded, so I was listening to music a lot. This one was sort of inspired by a song I really like, “The Fourth Drink Instinct” by Cute Is What We Aim For. It’s about a underage girl who has a fake ID and gets caught up in a one night stand. So I sort of took that concept and twisted it a little, and got this. So enjoy.

I guess you could say it started when we decided to take some vodka to this party we were going to. We put it in water bottles and no one suspected a thing. She was thinking that she would get “drunk” (really it would take her a lot more that a water bottle full of vodka to get drunk, she holds her liquor pretty well) and have that be and excuse to be all over the guy she liked, TJ. Her and TJ had sort of been on-off over the summer, hooking up here and there, but nothing really solid. We would hang out all the time, me, her, TJ, and our other best friend, James. He was really good friends with TJ, and even then, she would always say that if she didn’t like TJ she would totally go out with James. But anyway. This party we were going to, we brought some vodka to have a little fun. She was all excited to flirt with TJ, thinking this would be the night they would get together for good, and finally be a couple. Well, guess who wouldn’t make it that night.
She convinced James to come since there were no other guys we knew there. She flirted with James a lot that night (she told me later that she still liked TJ) and everyone thought it was because she was drunk. But she wasn’t, and she defiantly wasn’t just flirting with him just because he was there. I know her. I know her so well that I even knew what was going to happen in the course of the next few weeks. And sure enough, about a month later, she told me she had a huge crush on James. Now you have to know, this doesn’t make her a whore or anything. We figured that she’s always liked James, but she was too focused on TJ to notice. And now that TJ was treating her like crap, she just wanted someone better, someone she deserved who wouldn’t screw her over like TJ had. Only, now she’s worried that James wont want anything to do with her because her and mike were sort of an item.
But when James sees her (and all of our friends agree with me on this) he has this smile on his face that you only see when they’re together. I mean, the kid smiles plenty, but its different when she’s talking with him. So hopefully they’ll get together soon, everyone agrees that they’d be a better couple than her and TJ. Only it doesn’t help that he’s away over Christmas vacation, because he’s missing a huge party that might have been one of the few chances we get to hang out with the guys.
Enough drama and confusion for you? Add this to the mix. I’m in love with TJ and James’ best friend.

wow sam thats soooo funny, like i mean serious and heartbreaking but the way you wrote it makes perfect sense. so the moral to the story is "guys suck". but for some wierd reason i feel like i can compare to this. <3
i dont really understand this story...but it still makes sense in some weird way. it sort of sounds like some crazy reality show on MTV or something. you know? good job =)
i really like this. i wanted to keep reading and reading cause it was so drama-filled and interesting. but im really confused. but thats ok, its still really good.
