Chapter 2 Fake IDs

Trixies POV 

Abby drove us all to the outskirt of town to a local bar called the Watering Hole. We all get out and go to take a quick picture together. All smiling the flash went off. I looked at the photo posted in the group chat, so we all had it. We all looked amazing! Jerica had shoulder length dark brown hair straighter with a black skirt and a tight beige tube top on she was just a little shorter than my at about 5’3 and her also pale skin. Janet was the same height as me with her long black hair and tight red dress on and her dark skin glowed tonight, beautiful as ever! Abby was the tallest of us- she was 5’7 and curvy like me but hippier with her brown hair curled tonight feel just to her chest.  

We all took a deep breath and smiled pleased with how we looked and headed to the door. It was now or never. I really hope that guy knew what he was doing when he made there. We got in line behind an older scruffy looking guy had to be in his 30’s already smelling of beer. This place wasn’t super charming, but it would work to test our IDs. We all got them out, ready to hand them to the bouncer at the door who looked to barely be 21 himself. Abby was first to hand him her ID with a small smile and he looked at it and handed it back and motioned her to go through. Then did the same for Jerica and then Janet. Finally, it was my turn. He did the same. He didn’t even look to see if it was me. I think he was only checking the dates. We all get in and hurry to a table in the corner. We all exhaled like we were holding our breath together worried one would get caught. But here we are in and then came over a waitress with a tray asking if we wanted Jell-O shots. Of course, we did! 

After about 3 Jell-O shots each and a couple beers. I knew I had hit my limit never really drinking more than a beer or two at a house party. Those Jell-O shots tasted like straight vodka. By the look on Jerica’s face she felt it too! Janet and Abby were still going. Already on the dance floor to some mainstream music they were playing here with a cute guy approaching and joining them I thought I better stay here. The last thing I want is to smell like some guy going home and my parents to know where I really went tonight. Maybe tomorrow night I would dance when I wasn’t going back home.

Jerica and I talked about how our last summer before life kicks our ass was already slipping away. I agreed wishing that we had more adventure before welcoming all the responsibilities of adulthood cornering in on us. I thought about all their plans. Abby had gotten a basketball scholarship dangling in front of her for the state university. Janet already had early acceptance into an Art school out in LA. Jerica never really said what her plans where after high school, but I guess I never asked. Not knowing myself I didn’t want to pressure her anymore than I wanted anyone to pressure me. I liked to do so many things and did well in school, but I had no idea yet. I guess I am “undecided”. That’s what the college applications say now when you don’t know. So stupid. 

After another song or too, Abby and Janet came over and laughed talking about the cute guy joining them earlier for a dance. We all are laughing and cutting up. When Abby announced that it was 1115 pm and knew our curfews. We all paid our tabs and headed out to Abbys car. 

Once we were all in Jerica drove since she only had 2 Jello shots when we first arrived at 9 pm and was sober now. She perked up “So now that we know these IDs can get us in. Tomorrow lets go to the club in the city called Great Wolf. Some of my cousins said its great, young crowd and plays good music to dance too!” Nodding in agreement I couldn’t wait. Tomorrow would be better. Not having to sit in a corner in case someone knew us and being low key. We could just dance and drink and have fun. Maybe met a cute guy to burn through what is left of the summer break! 

Making it back to my house I confirmed they could come get me about 6 pm tomorrow and we would all crash at Abbys house tomorrow night since her parents where gone for the weekend on a couples retreat. 

I make It to the porch wave at our doorbell camera so dad would know I made it home at 1150pm with ten minutes to spare. I headed to my soft comfy bed and stripped down to my underwear and throw on just a tshirt to slide under my blanket and let sleep take over.
