We
had finally parted ways when we reached home. It was barely five and the party
was going to start at seven so I had plenty of time to get ready. I took a
quick shower, just to feel clean and then put on a perfume that was in a pink
bottle. I never used to use perfume, but this seemed like an occasion where you
would use perfume and what better than perfume in a pink bottle to match my
pink dress! It smelled nice and somehow there was no one in the bathroom,
probably because they all had gotten ready prior
to me coming in. Everyone was probably trying to impress Devin, for which I
still did not see the reason.
I
soon changed in the designated stalls located in the shower room. I put on my
dress and I felt pretty once more. I quickly went upstairs and put on a pair of
nude heels.
“Wow,
now aren't you all dolled up,” Teagan said when she got out of the bathroom in
a metallic gray dress. It was short and had a pretty low V-neck. If she wore
that to this party, I couldn't wait to see what the other girls wore and how
extremely underdressed and unsexy I was compared to all of them.
“Oh,
thanks, but I can’t compare to you,” I said noticing she actually had a really nice body.
“Thanks,”
she said and I noticed she didn’t have her glasses on.
“Do
you have contacts on?” I asked.
“Of
course,” she said. “I wouldn't want to look stupid.” I couldn't help but want to mutter that she did look stupid without her glasses on, but I resisted.
“Oh,
of course not,” I said instead. “Well, maybe we’ll hang out a bit later at the
party itself.”
“Yeah,
maybe,” she said. “It’s hard to find people in those parties though. They’re always held in the recreational room of
Building F, which is basically all the way in the back. And since there are so
many people from school going, it gets hard to find who you want to find unless
you go with them, but trust me you will lose the person if you two do not go around
the party together and I’m sure Lysander wouldn't be able to deal with having
to socialize with any of the other students.”
I
did not enjoy when anyone said anything about Lysander as if he were some
sociopath, sure he was maybe even perhaps a psychopath, but honestly I didn't care. He was a great person in my eyes. I simply nodded my head and continued
with my make-up. I put on a light brown eye shadow and mascara.
“Kalliope,
your eyes look so pretty,” Teagan said. “Did you even curl them?”
“My
eyes are naturally curled…” I said. “Is that strange?”
“Well,
most girls don’t have naturally curly eyelashes,” she said. “You could do
better with your eyebrows though. I mean you don’t even draw on them.”
“I
don’t particularly like the idea of drawing on eyebrows, I find it…idiotic.”
“Really?”
she said. “But then you’ll have like guy brows.”
“No,
they’re simply eyebrows, it doesn't matter. I mean maybe if they were shaped so
strangely that you had an insecurity towards them it would be okay, but it doesn't seem so in my case.”
“Oh,
alright,” she said. “I respect a person with a strong opinion.”
I
nodded again agreeing and through the mirror I could see she was smirking. I didn't understand why, but I simply applied my lip gloss and that was that. I didn't want to think about why she was even smirking in the first place.
“Well,
I’m going to go to Lysander’s dorm now, see you at the party,” I said.
“Yes,
see you then,” she said with a hint in her voice that she knew something that I
did not.
I
walked to Lysander’s dorm without anyone noticing me which was good, because
having someone either compliment you or make a snarky remark towards you is not
all that great. With compliments you have to stop and say thank you and with
snarky remarks it just ruins your mood.
I
knocked on Lysander’s door and he opened it without his shirt on, but he did
have his pants on which was great. They were made of PVC which made him look
real hard core.
“Wow,
I like your pants,” I said.
“I
like my dick too,” he said.
“I
said pants,” I said.
“I
know,” he said. “You meant dick though.”
“No,
I did not,” I said.
“Well,
if isn't Kalliope a.k.a the prettiest girl in school,” Aloysius said.
“Hello
Alloy,” I said.
“Oh
my gosh, she called me Alloy, Lysander! She doesn't have a pet name for you,
but she has one for me!” he bragged.
“Tut,
tut, Kalliope and I are on such high standards that we don’t even need pet
names for each other,” Lysander said putting on his white collared shirt made
of PVC as well. It actually looked nice on him. He could be anything he wanted,
he truly was a mannequin.
“If
I were a girl, I’d hit on you,” Aloysius said wearing a T-shirt that had a
tuxedo on it to be funny and skinny jeans with a chain hooped around it.
“If
I were a girl, I’d hit on you,” Lysander said to Aloysius.
They
hi-fived each other and laughed.
“Lysander,
allow me to take a picture of you and your wife,” Aloysius said.
“Did
you just call me his wife?” I asked.
“Oh,
I meant date, but both go hand in hand,” Aloysius said.
“Aloysius,
you obviously made her uncomfortable,” Lysander said. “You’re supposed to reply
with an apology not an explanation.”
“It’s
fine,” I said.
“Whatever,
PVC boy, you and your fifties sweetie aren't going to look this good and not
get a picture together,” Aloysius said taking out his phone.
Before
he took the picture he paused and Lysander said, “Well on with it!”
“Yeah,
but you know what I realized, I don’t have your girlfriend’s number! How do I
send the picture to her?” Aloysius asked.
“Look,
I don’t even have it either,” Lysander said. “So you’ll have to ask her
yourself.”
“Ah,
okay,” Aloysius said taking the picture and then showing it to us. We looked
really nice together and I smiled.
“Give
me your phone so I can enter my number,” I said. Aloysius handed it to me and I
put it in.
“Me
too!!!” Lysander exclaimed with delight handing me his phone. I entered my
phone number and smiled.
“Now
you can text me at night,” I said.
“Wow,
I am getting the most perverted ideas in my mind right now,” Lysander said
spinning around like he’d obtained something he’d wanted his whole life.
“Good
to know,” I said and we all went out of his room, because it was already 6:45.

As
we walked out to Building F, I felt an uneasy feeling about it. The way Teagan
was smirking just caused my stomach to flip at the thought of it. As we walked
out to Building F, I felt an uneasy feeling about it. The way Teagan was
smirking just caused my stomach to flip at the thought of it.
“You
know my roommate, Teagan, right?” I asked them.
“Yes,
what about her?” Lysander said.
“Well,
who does she hang around with?” I asked.
“Ah,
are you trying to get some dirt on her?” Aloysius asked.
“No,
no, not at all! She just looked at me weird and now I’m feeling really bad
about going to this party,” I explained.
“Well,
she doesn't really hang around people
per se, but if I would categorize her with anyone she’s the oddball that hangs
around the popular people because the popular people want to feel accepting.
She’s well aware of her role as that person too!”
“Damn,”
I said. “Now I feel even worse.”
“Well,
we don’t have to go,” Lysander said. “I mean if you feel that uneasy. It’s not
like we wanted to go in the first place.”
“Yes,
but you bought me this dress and I don’t want to put it to waste,” I said
meekly.
“Oh…”
he said beginning to blush. “Well, I’ll watch out for you then. I’d feel much
better if something happened to you and not me!”
“You’re
such a good boyfriend,” Aloysius said. “I wonder why girls don’t like you.”
“Because
they think I’m a socially inept person who is also very perverse. It could also
be the fact that I act condescending towards others and I make fun of every
touchy subject out there.”
“What
do you see in him?” Aloysius said with a laugh.
“I’m
not sure. I guess I find his unsociability very attractive,” I said.
We
entered Building F finally and the party was already started. Very loud and
crowded. You would have thought that it wasn't a party, but a night out at the
hottest club in town!
Someone
tapped me on the back, “Kalliope, you’re late!!!” Malerei said.
“Late,
it’s barely seven!” I said.
“Yeah,
I guess you’re right. A bunch of people have been waiting since six though,”
she informed me. “I really like your dress!”
“Thanks,
you look great in yours too,” I said. She was as underdressed as I was compared
to everyone else in there, but she looked really nice in her simple black
dress. The four of us together all looked really great together, like we didn't care at all that everyone looked much better than us.
“Hey,
who’s this?” Malerei said pointing at Aloysius.
“I
am the ever so talented Aloysius and it is a pleasure to officially meet you
Ms. Mont,” Aloysius said like a chivalrous knight even bowing to get her hand
and kiss it.
“Wow, I've never been greeted like that!” Malerei said with a smile.
“Well,
that’s because most men don’t go by the gentlemen’s code,” Aloysius said.
“What’s
the gentlemen’s code?” Malerei asked.
“Well,
you must always regard a lady you find attractive as if she were something very
rare,” Aloysius said.
“Oh,”
Malerei said putting her hands to her cheeks to hide her blush, but it was obvious
she was. Lysander and I exchanged looks and smiled.
“Aloysius
don’t you see you’re bothering the girl,” Lysander said.
“No,
he’s not!” Malerei said. “That was actually very nice of him to say, oh, if
only other guys were like that.”
“Most aren't,” I said thinking of how much she liked Devin when he wasn't even worth
it.
“I
know right. I’m pretty sure my guy is a gentleman,” Malerei said.
“Oh,
you have a boyfriend?” Aloysius asked. “I can’t take back my hand kiss now.”
“No,
I don’t, but I have a crush,” Malerei said.
“On
who may I ask?” Aloysius asked.
“Let
Lysander tell you,” Malerei replied. “Come with me to the bathroom before this
party gets full.” It was already full, how much more full could it get!
We
walked to the bathroom and in the corner of my eye I could see Lysander
obviously telling Aloysius who Malerei liked. In all honesty, I still can’t see
what she sees in someone so dreadfully boring and fake.
On
our way to the bathroom my eyes caught Teagan’s but I looked away quickly. The
most horrible thing about doing that though is that the other person knows you
saw them and that you looked away. It’s not a great thing to do, but I didn't want her to come over to us. While she used the bathroom I decided I should use
it too before I feel like using it later when as Malerei said, it was the party
would be fuller.
“Malerei,
you were blushing,” I told her.
“I
know,” she said in the stall next to mine. “No one’s ever done that to me. It
was a nice surprise. Is he always like that?”
“I
just met him so I wouldn't know!” I said with a laugh. “He’s a funny guy though.”
We
got out of the bathroom stall at the same time and I washed my hands with the
lemon scented soap.
When
I went out and heard the room filled with the crappy music considered by
everyone to be the greatest hit…of the week.
“I
wish they’d play something cool!” I told Malerei.
“Like
what?!” Devin asked me tapping my shoulder. Malerei’s eyes widened and I could
see Teagan and Piper talking and laughing. I still couldn't believe Teagan was
fake, I mean she had been totally opposed to Piper when she was telling me
about her.
“Oh,
it’s your party, you can play whatever you want. I was just saying my opinion,”
I said.
“And
I’d like to hear more of your opinion. What will get you dancing?” he asked.
“I
don’t really dance,” I said.
“Nonsense,
your boyfriend will make you dance,” Devin said.
“Doubt
it,” I said.
“Well,
what kind of music do you like?” he asked.
I
rolled my eyes and said, “Play some Nirvana.”
“Oh,
you’re into that,” Devin said.
“Yeah,”
I said walking off with Malerei. I turned around to see all Devin join Teagan
and Piper. Piper kissed Devin’s cheek. It only made sense, they were probably
together, but not exclusive since they sure liked to flirt with everyone.
“Devin
must really like you a lot,” Malerei said with a sigh.
“Aw,
Mal, you shouldn't like someone like him,” I said. “Honestly, he’s no good for you.”
“But
why not?!” Malerei whined.
“I
just get a bad vibe from him,” I said.
“I
see,” she said. “Well, it’s just I don’t that’s all.”
“I
understand that,” I said.
When
we’d finally gotten back to Lysander and Aloysius they were with Seymour who
looked so cute in his nice fit suit.
“Aww,
hey, you look so cute!” I told Seymour.
“Boys
do not want to be regarded as cute,” Aloysius said. “You must say charming.”
“Oh,
then Seymour is charming,” I said.
“Oh,”
Seymour said blushing. “Th-thanks.”
We
laughed and Seymour said, “Did you see my sister by any chance?”
“Umm,
yeah!” I replied. “She was somewhere over there in the middle.”
“Wow,
okay, thanks! I was going to ask her something, but I don’t want to get lost in
that chaos.”
“Oh,
I remember last year you broke your glasses because you went in the middle and
everyone was dancing and you couldn't see. That must have been bad. I wouldn't take that chance either,” Aloysius said.
“Aww, that happened
to you!!! That sucks!” I told him.
“Oh, it was foolish
of me to even walk in. It was completely my fault,” Seymour said.
♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪
We’d
been at the party for a while now, still listening to sucky music that was not
in the least catchy. At least at the dances I went to at my old school they’d
play something catchy enough for everyone to be dancing.
Then
finally, I could hear “Smells Like Teen Spirit” filled the room and you could
see all the people who were bored as hell flood the dance floor.
“He
put Nirvana for you,” Malerei said. “Should we dance?”
“If
you want to dance,” I said. “I don’t really feel like it.”
“Don’t
you think he’ll get mad?” Malerei asked me.
“That’s
not my problem,” I said. “I mean it’s not like he’s going to come out of there
to come get me.”
“Hey,
I put on some Nirvana for you!” Devin said almost as if he had heard what I
just said. “Is it okay if I take your girlfriend to dance?”
“No,”
Lysander said. “I’ll take her.”
“Cool,
cool. Hey, Seymour,” Devin said.
I could see Seymour went all tense so I turned
to him and said, “Will you come with us?”
“M-me?”
he said pointing at himself.
“Yeah,”
I said. “We’re all going. I wouldn't want to leave you here all alone.”
“Oh,
sure, of course!” Seymour said blushing a bit. He was such a cute little boy. I
pity the people who make fun of him. They really ought to try to get to know
someone before they’re calling them things.
We
all went out in the middle of the dance floor and Seymour asked me, “Well, how
do you dance to this kind of music?”
“I
mean at my old school I used to just jump around when they played music I
liked, so I couldn't tell you,” I said.
“Well,
why aren't you jumping now?” he asked.
“Because
the place is crowded, I honestly do not want to dance here,” I said. Lysander
and Aloysius waved at someone behind us! When I turned around it was Isadora.
“Hey,”
I said.
“Hey!
Wow, you look stunning!” she said with a smile. She was underdressed also,
simply wearing a white dress with floral print and a red sash around it.
“Thanks,
you look great too!” I said.
“You’re
the first person to say so the whole night! Of course, boys don’t really pay
attention to me, so that wouldn't be such a surprise,” she said making fun of herself and laughing.
“The
only reason people don’t say anything is because they are jealous,” I said.
“I
wish that were the truth,” Isadora said. “I know it is not though.”
The
song finished and everyone cleared the dance floor and as we were walking away,
Devin came over and stopped us. All six of us. It was strange and I didn’t get
why he was doing that.
“Oh
look, it’s a perfect group of six. Three girls. Three guys. Are you all
enjoying the party?” he asked.
None
of us answered, because we all weren't enjoying.
“Obviously
you are,” he said. “Kalliope though, you know you’re really pretty.”
“Thanks,”
I said.
“You’re
little clique here looks great, too,” he said.
“What?”
I asked.
“Nothing,
it’s just people like you guys. We don’t really like you. You’re there for our
amusement.”
“Devin,
what are you saying?” Malerei said.
“The
truth obviously loser,” Devin said. “I mean you guys are all losers who think
you guys are much better than the rest of the student body.”
“Fuck
off,” I said giving him the middle finger.
“Oh,
so tough! You think you’re better than everyone,” he said to me, which in all
honesty he was just describing his little girlfriend over there. “And Lysander,
you think that everything you say is so misunderstood and that’s why you have
no friends. Aloysius is just thinks he’s funny, when he’s not and Isadora acts
like she can’t be touched because she’s so elegant. Haha, you Malerei try soooo
hard to make the world a better place while still trying to be dark. What are
you sunshine or darkness?! I call you fake. Then we have little Seymour, the
faggot who thinks everyone should pity him! You guys are nothing but a bunch of
freaks. That’s why you all hang out with each other.”
None
of us said a word at all. We didn't know how to say anything back to that. Then
all the lights shined brightly on us. It was bright and my eyes couldn't see
well until they adjusted. Up on the screen was us at the moment. It was us
looking at us in the present. I could even see my hand lifting up above my eyes
in the screen as I did the same.
“A
little cliché, but I mean it works everytime,” Devin said.
“What?”
I said and my questions were answered. Yeah, it was one of the most cliché
things a teenager could do. Dump something on the person everyone made fun of
at school, because it was okay to do so. Yeah, it was totally okay.
All
six of us were covered in egg whites and then everyone in their just started
laughing. They came and silly-stringed us! Who does that? It was like they’d
planned this way before I had even come to school. Why would anyone do this?
I
could hear Malerei and Seymour crying. I felt especially bad for them. Lysander
was trying to get everything off of his PVC outfit knowing it would be ruined.
Isadora wasn't doing anything she was just staring at everyone like me. Aloysius was just looking at the screen not sure whether all of this was
happening or not and then as if it weren't me but someone else, my feet started walking and I left. I pushed my way through and I started to go. That’s when
the rest of them started to follow me and they came outside with me.
“What
the hell is their problem?” I asked to absolutely no one, but I turned around
to look at my friends.
“Kalliope,
they just don’t understand us,” Lysander said and in his eyes I could see he
was replaying every hurtful thing our fellow alumni had done to him before.
“Basically,
every year they pick on us, a lot of kids either succumbed to the taunts and
became one of them by force or they just left the school completely,” Isadora
explained.
“They’re
going to fucking pay for that!” I said. “We’ll all show them that we’re
better!!!”
“What
do you mean?” Malerei said still crying a bit. I went over to her and put my
hand on her shoulder.
“We’re
going to show them that they shouldn't mess with us and not in the ‘I’m going to get revenge on you’ way,
it’s the ‘I was better than you all along’
way. They’re obviously threatened by our talent!”
“No,
they just hate us,” Seymour said. “No matter what, people will side with them.”
“Yeah,
I get that,” I said. “I guess nothing works.”
“No,
you can’t say that,” Lysander said. “We need to show them that we don’t care
and that we’re not the weak ones. That’s all we show them by not fighting back!
We show them that they are capable of breaking us down again. None of us said
anything in their when they dropped that disgusting mess on us and they think
that they can do it again, because of that! We have to show them that we’re
much stronger than that!”
I
looked up at him wondering how many times he had been broken to be saying that
with such passion.
“I
have an idea!” Devin said pounding his fist on his open palm. You could almost
see a light bulb appear above his head. “If we use Lysander’s web show and I’m
not sure how, because if we make fun of them we’ll get in trouble, but maybe
somehow we can.”
“Actually,
no, we can use my web show to do such things,” Lysander said with a mischievous
smirk on his face. “It would be considered art not anything more. I've made fun
of people various times and it never seemed to rattle anybody, but now…I think
things will be different this time.”

The
boys split up from us, because we all wanted to go shower and get rid of the
egg whites that covered us.
“They
planned it out so elaborately!” Isadora said. “How did they know that we would
all be in the same section at the same time?”
“I
think they didn't but they knew the moment we all got in the same section, they
would tell everyone to clear out so they could do that,” I said.
Malerei
was still crying, “Kalliope, you were absolutely right about Devin. I can’t
believe I didn't see it earlier. I feel really stupid now.”
“Well,
don’t feel bad about it. You learned from that experience, right?” I told her.
“Yeah,
I guess that’s true,” Malerei said getting a smile on her face. We each went to
our own rooms to get a change of clothes. When we went to shower with each
other we were all respectful, because I’m sure we all had that pet peeve about
not being respectful in the bathroom.
I
felt so much better after taking my shower, but I didn't want to go back to my
room and see Teagan in the morning. “I don’t want to go back in my room.”
“Neither
do I,” Malerei said.
“There’s
nowhere we could stay,” I said.
“Yeah,
Aloysius and Lysander’s room,” Isadora said.
“Huh?”
Malerei and I said at the same time.
“It’s
not like they’ll be perverts, then again Aloysius is fond of you and Lysander
is found of you,” Isadora said.
“Huh?”
Malerei and I repeated again.
“Don’t
worry, I did it once before! They’re pleasant and very courteous. Especially
since they go by their little gentlemen’s
code.”
Malerei
and I looked at each other and I said, “Well, as long as we share the bed they
can’t do anything!”
“Yeah,
yeah,” Malerei said.
“Okay,
let’s go,” I said and we walked all the way to their room and knocked on the
door. Aloysius, Lysander, and Seymour were all in the room together in their
boxers. That was a laugh!
“Ah!”
Seymour said trying to cover himself even though it wasn't something we were
thinking about.
“Can
we stay with you guys?” Isadora asked.
“We
expected you would,” Lysander said shrugging. He looked so good without a shirt
on. I refrained from looking though, because I didn't want to start blushing.
“Kalliope,
dear, look at my body,” Lysander said turning my face to face his.
“Lysander,
you’re such a pervert. I will not look at your body,” I said.
“Eh,
it’s scrawny anyways,” Aloysius said.
“At
least I don’t have abs with a small belly,” Lysander said. “I don’t understand
how that even works.”
“Because
it does and I am more in shape then you,” Aloysius said. “Ask Kalliope, I bet
she’d say that she’d rather have someone who has a thicker body than someone
who is a stick.”
“Oh,
I find scrawny boys rather attractive,” I admitted. Lysander smirked at
Aloysius.
“See,
she finds scrawny boys rather attractive,” Lysander said playing with my hair. “I
find myself rather attractive as well.”
“That’s
nice sweetheart now go to sleep!” I said.
“Kalliope!”
Lysander said. “You don’t stay up late.”
“Sometimes,
but only if I need to. I don’t like to on school days,” I said.
“Ah,
well then, you heard the lady! We must go to sleep!” Lysander said. “Shall we
sleep together?”
“No,”
I said with a big smile on my face.
“Well,
where do you suppose we will all sleep, there are only two beds in this room
you know?”
“Yeah,
the girls will sleep in one bed and the boys will sleep in the other,” I
explained.
“That’s
gay,” Lysander said.
“Says
the one who looks and acts gay,” Aloysius said.
“Says
the one who acts and looks gay,” Lysander said.
“I
see what you did there,” Aloysius said and they each put their thumb on their
nose and wiggled their fingers.
“Wow,
is that part of your gentlemen’s code?” I asked.
“No,
that’s our secret handshake,” Aloysius said. “Only really good friends can do
that without getting offended.”
“I
know right,” I said doing putting my thumb on my nose and wiggling my fingers.
They laughed with me. “Now then, get to bed dorks.”
“I
suppose Aloysius and Seymour can sleep on the floor,” Lysander said.
“No,
you have to roshambo for the bed!” I said.
“No,
strict gentlemen’s code, no roshambo!” Aloysius said. “What are you trying to
break our balls?!”
“Yes,
actually,” I said. “Do roshambo as in rock, paper, scissors?”
“Oh,
that is perfectly acceptable,” Aloysius said. “Alright, you must blindfold us.”
“Whatever,”
I said covering Lysander’s eyes. Isadora covered Seymour’s and Malerei covered
Aloysius’ eyes.
“Rock,”
I said.
“Paper,”
Isadora said.
“Scissors,”
Malerei said.
They
each let their hand go. Lysander played rock, Seymour played paper, and
Aloysius played scissor.
“Again
guys,” I said.
They
then proceeded by changing their hands except Lysander who remained at rock.
Seymour switched to scissors and Aloysius switched to rock.
“Seymour,
you’re out,” Isadora said uncovering his eyes.
“Oh,
that’s too bad, but I’m used to sleeping on the floor anyways,” he said.
“Okay,
guys! Rock, paper, scissors!” I said.
Lysander
shot out scissors and Aloysius had scissors as well.
“Again,”
Malerei and I said in unison.
Lysander
stayed at scissors and Aloysius switched to rock.
We
both uncovered their eyes.
“NOOOOO!”
Lysander said. “I beg you, Kalliope! Let’s sleep together!”
“No,”
I said.
“Ugh!”
Lysander said.
“You
have to pay the price pretty boy. Lay your luscious hair on the floor. I mean
come on you’ll use a blanket anyways.”
“I
suppose so,” Lysander said with a sigh. He proceeded by putting on a rubber
band on his hair and making it a pony tail. I almost wanted to laugh, but the
fact he looked so handsome with a pony tail stopped me.
“Good
night, guys!” I said.
“Good
night,” Lysander said turning off the lights. He came over to where the girls
were and he kissed my cheek and I smiled. I lifted up my head to look at him as
he went to go lie down on a blanket.
I’d
woken up in the middle of the night to see him serene lying down on the floor.
He looked so handsome at that moment with his eyes closed, his mouth open, his
hair tied up, and the little twitch his leg kept doing. I could have stared for
the rest of the night, but I felt a bit weird doing that. It did make me
happier for tomorrow though.
