               *******

After entering Zoe's room we both let ourselves fall on her bed. Sighing I turn around to face Zoe, I'm thrilled about what we're going to do tonight.

She turned around smiling at me "So are you ready?"She asked excitedly.

I know it's been her long-time wish to see me like her even for just a day. Just being myself, not thinking about what other people might have to say, and not trying to be the 'good girl' my parents always expected me to be. Finally, I can live for myself even if it's just for tonight.

I nod at her and smiled.

"Yes..! I'm ready and excited to see a 'different' me." I honestly admit with beaming and sparkling eyes, thrilled about how I will look tonight. Whatever it is, I don't care. I just want to be me.

The real Alexandria Morgan.

Zoe ordered me to take a shower first so she can style my hair after drying it.

She chose my outfit which is a black strapless mini dress that ends halfway from my upper legs.

I gasped looking at myself in the mirror I didn't know it was this short.

If I'm not gonna be careful I think someone might end up seeing my behind.

I look at her worriedly in the mirror but she just smiled reassuringly.

"Relax Alec, you're looking great just wait till I am done adding some makeup to your face that will match your dress," she said proudly before pushing me down gently to sit in the chair in front of the mirror, she turned me around so my back was facing the mirror. She added a few darker shades of makeup to my eyelids for the smoky eye effect...

Then a red lipstick for my lips. I saw her grinning at me before finally turning me around to let me see myself in the mirror again.

I gasped in shock not recognizing myself in front of the mirror.

I stared back at Zoe who bore a proud look on her face.

"Thank you, Zoe...I look completely different! This- this is"I trail off

"This is awesome!" We both squeal in happiness hugging each other while jumping like crazy girls.

After fixing me up now It was Zoe's turn to shower and get dressed. Time flew making it 9:30 in the evening.

I take a look at my phone, I saw more than ten missed calls from my jerk of an ex-boyfriend. I read a few messages that were sent by him.

" hey babe, where the heck are you? Why are you not answering my call?! Are you trying to make me mad?!" Which makes me close my eyes in anger.

Surprisingly I didn't feel like crying, I was concentrating on how irritated I was regarding his arrogance. That stupid piece of s&^t. I'm currently starting to see the things that I didn't see at the time when all my trust in him was still intact.

I was startled when suddenly, Zoe came from behind and abruptly snatched my phone out of my hand and starts to type back. When she was done, she handed back my phone and that's when I read what she sent to him.

"Fuck off Harris you are dead, remember when I saw you smoking and drinking at school?! Well, guess what?! I'm sending the video right now to the school website. Expect your expulsion one of these days. Love, Zoe

PS: you should have listened when I warned you not to fuck with my best friend,so long.Moron!"

I stared back at her in awe, "Zoe, is this for real?!" I asked her, she smiled at me proudly and says "Yes". I felt like crying, she did all of that behind my back just to protect me. I can't thank god enough for giving me such a wonderful best friend.

"Come now, don't give me that puppy teary-eyed look. It will ruin our wonderful evening and" She trails off.

"You don't wanna waste my effort do you, Alec?" She asked teasingly. I smiled back at her.

" I can't thank you enough Zoe, for being the best of the best Best friend in the whole world. Thank you for  always staying by my side, through thick and thin." I said to her melodramatically. Which makes her burst into laughter which then leads me to punch her in the arms.

"Hey..! I'm being sincere right now." I said to her with pouted lips.

She smiled back at me before hugging me tightly resulting in me being lifted a little bit in the air.

"Ok! Enough of all this talking and let's get wasted!" She screamed which earned us a warning knock on the door.

"Keep it down Alec, Zoe.."Aunt Meg said.

"Sorry Mom."

"Yes,Auntie Meg.." Both of us smiled at each other holding our giggles.

Five minutes past ten and we exited the front door. We couldn't leave at an earlier time because we waited for Zoe's parents to sleep first. We quickly walked outside and stopped by a taxi.

After twenty minutes we arrive at the most exclusive 'Bar and Disco' in the city. Anxiety fills in me as I'm curious about how we could get in.

"Zoe, are you sure this is the right place?"I asked her worriedly.

"Relax, we're good, I have an exclusive card to pass through them," She said confidently.

"Really?! how did you get that Zoe?"I asked surprised. She stopped on her track and stared back at me.

"The 'DJ' inside is my boyfriend so relax and enjoy the night stop overthinking for once Alec." She said in an encouraging voice. I nod back at Zoe and took in a few deep breaths to relax before encircling my arms around her.

Entering inside, we are welcomed by the upbeat music, the foggy place, and lots and lots of people dancing together skin-to-skin gliding with the different colored laser lights coming from above. The place looked so elegant and expensive that I wondered how much it would cost for a cocktail drink. A waiter quickly served us a drink, complimentary for the people coming inside.

Zoe drank it all at one stretch, copying her I start to swallow the drink in one gulp but start to cough after the burning sensation of the alcohol flowed from my throat to my stomach. "Alec, come let's go over there" Zoe pointed to the counter where two chairs were reserved with both our names stamped on them.

"My boyfriend reserved it for us. Come let's have a seat and order something.." she said bringing me to the chair to sit in.

After consuming a few drinks that Zoe ordered for me I felt lightheaded.

I looked around and felt dizzy. Needing to go to the bathroom I searched for Zoe but couldn't find her.

I squinted my eyes a little bit further and saw her swinging her hips on the dance floor.

I wiggle my head hoping to shake off the light buzz I was currently feeling thinking it would disappear. I tried to stand but the surroundings start to spin. I couldn't stand up straight and knew I would fall. Closing my eyes I waited for the pain but it didn't happen so I squinted my eyes back open and met the most intense look this stranger was giving me.

Gosh he had such beautiful light brown eyes, his brows were almost touching each other giving him a dark and mysterious look.

"Are you ok miss?" He asked in a deep baritone voice. He held my waist firmly bringing me back to my chair. Instantly I felt sparks of electricity on the place he touched running down to my core.

"Are you with somebody? Should I call you a taxi?" He asked simultaneously which made my head buzz more. I lift my finger and shut his lips with it "Shhh", I shushed and smiled at him.

"You're cute, thanks for catching me there by the way".He looked surprised and at the same time amused.

He stood up and said, "I think you are ok now, don't go anywhere and wait for your friends.." he advised before he started to walk away but I felt like there was something about him that urged me to stick with him. So I try to stand up and stop him. "Wait. Can I go with you?" He looked surprised for a moment but then a smirked loom in the corner of his thin lips.

"Don't you know it's dangerous to say that to somebody you don't know?" He walked back and stopped just a few inches away from me. I could feel his warm breath on my face and the whiff of the liquor that he was drinking. I felt lightheaded by his presence which intrigued me. I've never felt this way with any guy in the school or even with Harris and I couldn't tear away my gaze from him. It was literally like I was magnetized by his gaze.

"I guess if you're a bad person, you wouldn't be so concerned. Now, can I come with you?" I asked again which made him look deadly serious.

"NO." He said in a very imposing tone. Although it made me sad I didn't push through.

"Okay then, good night Mr. Mysterious Guy," I said to him waving my hand as I turned around and walked away like our conversation was not a big deal. I walked unstable which caused me to bump into somebody.

"Hey, gorgeous, Wanna come with me." A tall guy said snaking his hand around my waist almost groping my butt.

"Let go of me, you jerk!" Instantly i push him away. It felt disgusting to feel his rough hands on my body, plus I hate rude and maniac people.

"Leave her alone, she's with me," Someone with a familiar deep baritone voice said.

I felt the guy holding me quickly loosen his grip, raise his hand in surrender, and walk away.

I turn around and saw the 'Mysterious guy' His face has a blank expression as he held my arms and pulled me away from the crowd and the loud music. A little bit later I saw him open a BMW car and place me inside of it. The luxurious seat felt comfortable and the smell of him that lingered in the car made me relax and close my eyes. Slowly I found myself drifting away.
