2~ABIGAIL

Carlacia and I sat on the couch with a tub of vanilla ice cream and two packets of Oreo. We decided to watch a movie on the television and relax after unpacking and setting up our rooms. We were halfway through the movie when we heard a knock on the door. Carlacia and I stared at the door, then at each other. 

"You expecting somebody?" I asked her.

Carlacia frowned as she shook her head, "Not at all."

We both stood up and walked towards the door carefully. I looked at Carlacia who nodded her head at me and I opened the door, only to find a guy dressed in a pink hoodie and a pair of jean trousers standing outside. 

"Oh look it's the hallway girls!" The boy squealed excitedly while I raised my eyebrows up in confusion. 

"The who girls?" Carlacia asked cocking her eyebrows up in confusion. 

The boy waved it off, "You know, your mini welcome party in the hallway? Everyone's talking about it and that's what they are calling you now, the hallway girls."

"Yeah, I don't think I want to be called that" I said shaking my head at Carlacia who was eyeing the guy at our doorway. 

"Anyway" The boy said as he came inside our room while I shut the door, "There's a big party that's being thrown by one of the upperclassmen and we are invited."

A party? Hell no! I thought to myself the same time Carlacia let out an excited squeal and she clapped her hands jumping up and down in excitement. 

"You game?"

"Of course we are" Carlacia answered for both of us. 

"Nope, you go I'm not going" I spoke up shooting Carlacia a pointed look. 

"Uh why not?" Carlacia and the boy asked at the same time. 

"Uh maybe because I don't want to go to a party some unknown guy told us about" I pointed out looking at the boy who opened his mouth agape. 

"Uh rude much?" The boy asked cocking his hips and I shot him a small smile in apology, "And my name is Trevor."

"And now we know him" Carlacia said and I sighed at that. 

"I don't know, I'm still not going."

Carlacia let out a groan as she came towards me, "Why not? It's a party!"

"I don't know Carla maybe because bad things happen at parties, the influence of alcohol, drugs, people staring at you, thinking about all those stuff just makes me uncomfortable" I said with a shrug and I was right. Nothing good ever comes out of college party. 

"Ugh! Come on Abigail," Carlacia groaned, "This is our first night in NYU, I mean there is no denying the fact Joseph Morgan is one hot stuff but do you really want to spend your first night in college watching The Originals or go to a party?"

I didn't even need to think about my choice twice, "Yes!"

"No you don't!" Carlacia argued, "We are going to the party, it's a good way to mingle with people and besides who knows? You might find inspiration for your novel."

"Oh you are an author?" Trevor smiled at me and I shook my head at him. 

"Not yet, but we are a work in progress" Carlacia said hooking her arms around my shoulders, "But seriously though, you've got to come with me to the party."

"Carlacia I can't, besides I've got..."

"Just hear me out first" Carlacia cut me off, "I know you are scared and all but I promise you, you've got nothing to worry about, I'll be with you and never leave your side."

"Hmm, I don't know" I said chewing my lips nervously. 

Carlacia sighed at me, "Cone on Abs, it's a Friday night so let's be wild, hmm?"

I stared at Carlacia who was looking at me with her hopeful brown eyes and she was pouting at me. I let out a sigh and shook my head at her, "Fine, let's just go anyway."

"YES!" Trevor and Carlacia squealed excitedly. 

"But I can't promise to be any fun" I told them but I don't think they heard me because they were too busy squealing in excitement and I smiled at that. 

"Okay, give us few minutes to go get ready!" Carlacia announced to Trevor as she dragged us towards the bedroom. I let out a sigh as she led me away already talking about what outfit would look good on us. 

 I so wasn't looking forward to this night. 

***

Few minutes later we were standing in front of the house where the party had already begun. We arrived here in Trevor's car and looking at the swam of bodies that was dancing in the house I kind of wished I was back in my apartment with nothing but Niklaus Michelson to keep me company. 

"Yep, this is it! The life!" Carlacia said breathing in the air. 

"Yeah, I'm not so sure about that" I said looking around at the house.  Just as I spoke, a guy stumbled out of the house, leaned over the rails and began vomiting on the ground. 

Yup, definitely not the life! I thought to myself as we all groaned at the sight. 

"Let's just go in, shall we?" Trevor asked and we both agreed, immediately rushing inside the house. 

As soon as we were inside the house, we were handed drinks in plastic red cups. I looked down to see it was a red content with ice inside it. I looked up to see Carlacia was already drinking the content of the cup and so was Trevor. I raised the cup to my lips to drink but as soon as the drink touched my mouth, I immediately spat it back inside the cup and made a face. 

"What? What's wrong?" Carlacia asked concernedly. 

"Ugh! It takes like shit!"

"Hellooooooo" Trevor drawled out, "That's the whole point of alcohol, it taste like shit at first but when it hits, you are too shitfaced to care."

Carlacia busted out laughing along with Trevor while I rolled my eyes at the two of them. "I will drink to that" She said clinking her drink with Trevor's while I just shook my head at the both of them. 

"Okay, enough mopping around, time to hit the dance floor!" Carlacia squealed collecting my drink and handed to a passerby. 

"Uh no, I'm good..."

"Nope, we gotta dance, where did the girl dancing in the hallway of Clark's residence go?" Trevor asked looking at me in disbelief.

I shrugged at that, "Well no one was supposed to see that and it was a one time thing anyway."

"Nah uh, she trippin' we definitely dancing" Carlacia said with a note of finality and before I could protest, she was already dragging me to the living room which had been turned into a dance floor. 

I stood against the swarms of bodies gyrating to the loud music blaring from the speakers. Carlacia and Trevor already found a rhythm and they vibed to 'Nights' by 'Snow tha Product ft W.Darling.' 

Carlacia smiled at me as she placed a hand on my hips and began making me follow her rhythm. I smiled at her and shook my head at her, but I followed her and soon I was dancing without a care in the world. 

I felt the beat of the music pulsate through my body.  I swayed my hips and lifted my hands up in the air as I danced with my friends who were laughing and dancing along with me. Some guys came to meet Carlacia and she'd dance with them but when they got too close she'd pull away and dance with another guy. Other guys came to dance towards me but Trevor must have sensed how uncomfortable I was, because he stuck close to me to which I was grateful for. 

The song changed and it was some beat I didn't recognize, so I decided to go for a bathroom break. I yelled to Trevor over the music and he nodded his head before going off to dance with a guy in the corner. 

I weaved through the army of sweaty bodies till I finally made my way to the stairs where some people were having a full out make out session. I averted my gaze till I finally climbed up the stairs and stood in the hallway. Now the real problem begins, finding a empty room so I could use the bathroom. With a sigh I headed for the first door on my left. 

Please be empty, please be empty, please be empty! I chanted all over and over again as I twisted the door knob but of course my prayers weren't answered because I was met with the back view of a guy with a hairy ass and a girl sucking him off. I think I might have been traumatized!

"Yo, what the hell?" The dude yelled at me. 

"Sorry!" I yelled an apology as I shut the door quickly.

I shook my head as I tried to clear the image from my head and continued down the hall. I didn't open any more doors because I didn't want to see another traumatic event but I still needed to use the bathroom though, like what's a girl gotta do to find an empty bedroom in a house party?

I was about to try another door when it was suddenly opened and I was yanked into a dimly lit room. My back was pushed against the door and a hand clamped tightly against my mouth. What the hell? I thought to myself as I struggled against my captor. 

"Hey, hey, calm down" The captor said in a velvet deep voice, "It's just me."

Just me who? I tried to speak but it came out muffled. 

"It's me Abigail, you know who I am" The captor said then peered closely at me and stormy grey eyes I'd recognize anywhere greeted me. 

Nicholas?
