Chapter 40: Chapter 40: Party (Part 1)
Days passed in a blink of an eye, and without me realizing, it was suddenly Wednesday.
\'Just 3 more days before the concert.\' I thought as I started to feel the pressure of performing in front of a crowd of 5000 people.
While I was leaning back on my chair in the classroom, the one behind me was incessantly tapping my right shoulder multiple times, trying to get my attention.
"Ed. Ed. What are you giving Elsa as her birthday present?"
"Ed. Ed. Will you wear a swimsuit?"
"Ed. Ed. Why won\'t you answer me?"
I ignored Jacob\'s questions as I tried to focus on the board. Although I kept reassuring him that everything would be fine, he kept coming up with new questions and bothering me with them.
"Just shut up. Wear whatever you want. I will just show my face and leave early. Bother me again and I\'ll tell your mom to give you another exorcism." I answered with gritted teeth after Jacob got on my nerves.
"... I will shut up now," Jacob said with a dejected tone and leaned back to give me some distance. The exorcism threat worked effectively as he was traumatized from the exorcism he got after kissing his mom while being drunk last week.
Even then, he never snitched to his mother nor did he blame me for getting him drunk in the first place. That made him a true friend in my books. As he kept feeling anxious and now started shaking his legs restlessly, I sighed and said, "Just calm down will ya? This isn\'t your first party right?"
He was stunned and stopped moving after he heard the question. As his response was weird, I turned back to look at his face and asked again, "This...isn\'t your first party...right?"
"..." Jacob avoided my eyes, but before I could grill him more about the matter, Mrs. Henderson called me out after turning from the board.
"Mr. Newgate, did you feel confident enough now that you decided not to focus on my class?"
"Uhh..." Turning to the front of the class again, I stammered a little bit, making the entire class laugh at me. "Sorry, ma\'am."
"Tell me, what is the formula to find the energy content of a food sample?" Mrs. Henderson asked suddenly.
Although the topic was something she was going to teach in this class, she didn\'t write any of it yet on the board. Luckily for me, I had understood this topic while studying on my own before.
"Well, in a simple calorimetry experiment, different food samples can be burned to compare the energy content of the samples. A larger increase in water temperature indicates a larger amount of energy contained by the samples."
Mrs. Henderson nodded and said, "Continue."
The people in the classroom turned to look at me at the same time, however, my tone was still calm.
"So to get the energy or Joules, we have to times the mass of water, the specific heat capacity of water, and the temperature increase all together before dividing it by the mass of food."
"Now, tell me the limitations of these experiments." Mrs. Herderson asked again.
"The limitations are incomplete burning of the food samples and heat energy that is lost to the surroundings."
Flashing a sincere smile, Mrs. Henderson said, "Good job Mr. Newgate."
"No \'5 points for Ravenclaw\'?" I joked, creating some giggles here and there among the students. Mrs. Henderson narrowed her eyes at me for the comment, and that was all she needed to do to make me shut up.
"Let\'s continue." Mrs. Henderson said and resumed her lecture as usual.
"We\'ll pick this up later," I whispered to Jacob.
After the last school bell rang, the school was finally out for the day.
"Mr. Newgate, a word." Mrs. Henderson called me before I could get out of the class. I walked to her desk while all the other students were hurrying to go back home.
As I reached her desk, she asked in a concerned tone, "Mr. Newgate, have you been resting properly?"
"Hmm? Why do you ask that?"
"Deep set of eye bags and sunken cheeks. If your eyes were red I would ask you to do a drug test immediately." Mrs. Henderson said.
"Oh. That. I need to prepare for a concert, my album is still in production, and there is a lot of other stuff as well I need to work on."
"I see...and how long did you sleep last night?"
I didn\'t want to answer the question, but I didn\'t have a choice.
Avoiding her eyes, I said, "Well...around 2 hours..."
With stern eyes, Mrs. Henderson said, "You need to sleep at least 8 hours Mr. Newgate. Is there anything bothering you right now that prevents you from doing so?"
"Well...it\'s just...I don\'t want to be left alone with my own thoughts. So until I know that I will fall asleep instantly when I lay my head on the bed, I need to continue working on something...just to focus my mind on it."
I didn\'t know why, but it was easy to talk to her about the matter. I blame my sleep deprivation for revealing my hidden thoughts. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Henderson didn\'t pry away my secrets in my most vulnerable state and said, "Okay Mr. Newgate. I have something that will help you to sleep better. Do you want it?"
She took out a few pills from her bag and placed them on the desk.
"Wait, sleeping pills?" I asked in surprise.
"Only for today Mr. Newgate. You will need it." Mrs. Henderson said ambiguously. Of course, she gave me only enough pills for one day. I took the pills before I put them in my pocket.
"Thank you, Mrs. Henderson," I said sincerely.
"You\'re welcome. Don\'t expect this to be a regular thing. I will only help you with this once." Mrs. Henderson said as she turned her face away from me to focus on the paper on her desk. "Now, go home and rest."
"Wait. Did you only want to talk to me about that?" I asked in confusion.
"For now...Yes...After you are feeling better, and your workload has decreased, I will talk to you again." Mrs. Henderson replied without looking at me.
Nodding my head slightly at the teacher, I walked out of the classroom after thanking her once more. Then, I found Jacob was still waiting for me in the hallways after I got out of the class.
"Why didn\'t you go home first?" I asked in confusion as soon as I saw him.
"Let\'s go to the mall together. I need to buy a new outfit for tonight." Jacob said urgently.
"You just bought one yesterday!" I yelled in disbelief.
"Yeah...so?"
...
Jacob\'s mom dropped us off at the mall after dropping my bicycle at my house.
"You kids, be careful now. Don\'t do anything that Jesus wouldn\'t do!" Mrs. Green waved at us excitedly before she drove the car away.
"Jesus can turn water into wine. So we should drink alcohol right?" I turned to Jacob and said.
"Don\'t get me in even more trouble!" Jacob yelled. As we were looking at the clothes, I casually asked him, "What gift did you get Elsa?"
"I wanted to get her a diamond ring...But that\'s too expensive..." Jacob said. Shaking my head in disbelief, I asked with my arms crossed, "Then, what did you get?"
"Er...a Coach brand bag."
"How much?" I asked again.
"Um...it\'s not expensive."
"How much is the bag, Jacob?!" I asked sternly this time.
"...500 dollars."
I widened my eyes in disbelief after he said that. "How did you get the money?"
He avoided my gaze and said, "Well...I sold a few of my football collectibles...It\'s not a big deal Ed. Don\'t freak out."
Speaking faster than usual, I said, "I\'m not freaking out. Does it look like I\'m freaking out? I\'m just thinking about how stupid you are being right now. That\'s all."
"You kind of freaking out right now," Jacob said.
"No."
"A little bit?"
"...Yeah a little bit. Just to be clear, I\'m not freaking out because I wanted to give something better to Elsa."
"Then...why?"
"Because, this is your first ever relationshi- Wait. It\'s not even a relationship yet. It\'s barely a fling. You only talked to her in real life...2 times! You\'re going to crash and burn if you\'re being too needy."
Jacob suddenly grabbed both of my shoulders and panicked. "W-w-w-w...Crash and burn? Are you sure?"
"Yup. You shared your text with me every day. I noticed that she is losing the original interest she has in you."
Again, the giant shook my body left and right vigorously as he was panicking. "What should I DO?!!!"
"Do you want the easy way, or the hard way?" I asked with my eyes spinning.
He finally stopped shaking me and asked with vigilance, "What\'s the difference between them?"
"The easy way...you might get laid today. The hard way, you might lose her to someone else."
"Easy way please!" Jacob begged.
"Let me see your phone," I said and held out my hand. Then, I noticed a text message from Elsa coming in the minute I held the phone.
"Wait...she is texting..." Jacob tried to snatch the phone back, but I moved it away from him. Then, he started to use more physical contact to get back the phone. I got annoyed so I tripped him while he was trying to force me.
"Give me!" He said from the ground, trying to get up immediately. "Aaaannnnddd...Send." I said while clicking the send icon and gave him back the phone before he managed to get up.
While lying on the floor, he checked the text hurriedly.
Elsa: Hey, what are you doing? Can you come to the party early to help set up?
Jacob: I\'m busy. Find someone else.
Elsa:... Okayyy.
"WHAT DID YOU DO!?" Jacob yelled at me in frustration....still lying on the floor.
"What\'s best for you right now." I replied casually with a sly smirk. "and...Oh yeah, don\'t reply to any of her messages. Play aloof as if you don\'t even notice her existence."
Jacob widened his eyes and had a horrified look on his face. He reacted as if I had just told him to worship Satan, then, the devil spoke once more, "You want to make out with her today or not?"
"...Okay. I\'ll do what you say." Jacob replied meekly as the devil\'s temptation had won.
...
At 8 pm, we started our journey to the party–driven off by Jacob\'s dad. He was a huge, 6 \'9 man with a Viking beard on his face, a rough-looking face, and tattoos on his left hand.
He looked like a buff Viking from the middle age as he took good care of his body. Not his belly though, as his belly was flabby from all of Mrs. Green\'s cooking.
"Wait, So how did you seduce Mrs. Green again?" I asked in confusion. "Isn\'t she a meek, kind, ever-loving, god-fearing, conservative Christian Woman?"
"Well. Before she turned into that, she was even wilder than I am." The retired football player, Mr. Henry Green said.
Both Jacob and I ran our imaginations, trying to think how a wild Mrs. Green would look like. I imagined her with a crop top, tattoos on her lower back that said \'go deep\', and spiky punk rock hair. Jacob imagined her as not going to church...and that was it.
"If there are some photos, I would love to see them," I said curiously.
"I don\'t think there are anymore. She had burned them all when she... transitioned." Mr. Green blurted out unconsciously. "She said they were the devil\'s temptation for anyone who saw them."
As he drove, Mr. Green found out that they were heading into the luxurious area of the town. He asked, "Anyway, does your friend really live here?"
"Yeah. It says so on the invitation." Jacob said and checked the paper invitation once more.
Only those who were selected to go there were given the invitation while those who didn\'t get the invitation could only be green in envy. It was the school event of the year, and most students there were desperately wishing for an invitation.
We finally arrived at the gated mansion. I finally saw Jenna\'s house, and I couldn\'t help but open my mouth in awe.
The mansion seemed identical to the ones in the neighborhood, but with a uniqueness of its own.
The white walls, Greece-type pillars that supported the second-story balcony where Jenna\'s mom could greet the world every day the moment she woke up from the bed. My attention then turned to the heated, 20-meter-long pool that was illuminated by the party light right now– where multiple teenagers in swimsuits were playing around.
"Thank you, Mr. Green," I said as I exited the car with Jacob, finally revealing my outfit for the party. I wore a simple, white short pants and a dark shirt with pineapples on it with the buttons opened till the third one, showing off a little bit of my smooth chest.
Jacob wore a red tank top and black pants to match, showing off the biceps that he got from training with his dad.
"You kids, be nice! Don\'t drink too much!" Mr. Green said before he drove away, leaving a stunned Jacob.
"So...your dad has given you the permission. Will you drink, or will you stay sober tonight?" I asked teasingly.
Jacob grimaced at me and slapped my arm. "What are you thinking? It\'s a kids\' party. There is no way they will serve drinks to a minor-"
As soon as he said that, a cute waitress wearing only a green bikini walked right by us while holding a tray of glasses. I picked up two green-coloured drinks from the tray, and gave one to Jacob.
"See. They had started us off already." I said while sipping the drinks spiked with alcohol already.
"Hey. You guys are late." Jenna noticed us and walked right toward us hurriedly, wearing a very daring black bikini that made her chest jiggle every time she took a step. Her bikini top was a crossed bra bikini that hung from her neck, wrapping around her breast smoothly but still revealing her cleavage.
She walked from the crowd of boys swarming around her while ogling her body with almost a pitched-up tent, leaving everyone dissatisfied and couldn\'t help but turn hostile toward me.
"This will be a very fun party," I muttered facetiously.
...
[3rd Person POV]
An hour before Edward and Jacob arrive at the party.
"Busy? What do you mean you\'re busy?!" Elsa muttered angrily after reading the text from Jacob. She was still in her normal outfit, a jacket, tube top, and a mini skirt as she sat on the bed while her friend had already changed into her bikini.
While fixing her top in front of a full-body mirror in her room, Jenna said casually, "Maybe he\'s no longer interested in you."
"Nah. That can\'t be it. He worships me." Elsa said and finally turned her attention to Jenna. "Anyway, are you sure you want to wear that all night?"
Jenna flashed a bright smile and twirled for Jenna to look, "How is it? Does it make you want to stab me to death from jealousy? I\'m sure a lot of boys will lose their minds from this and they will abandon their girlfriend to be with me."
Elsa stared blankly at Jenna and said, "This is still about Edward? I thought you said he\'s a smart man that won\'t be seduced by any random woman."
"I AM NOT ANY RANDOM WOMAN!" Jenna raised her voice and said with angry eyes.
But, Elsa wasn\'t intimidated by Jenna\'s bipolar personality. That was the reason that she was alone there. Although Jenna was popular among the boys, she was abhorred by the girls in the school for her slutty behaviors. Even at the party, it was hard to find popular girls that would love to come.
Brushing off Jenna\'s reaction, Elsa said with a scrunched brow, "What do you mean he\'s no longer interested in me?"
"Well...It is what it is. You have been talking too long without getting anywhere, now, he\'s no longer interested in you. Maybe he\'s talking to another girl now." Jenna replied casually and continued making herself look sexier.
"He\'s talking to another girl!? Are you sure?!" Elsa asked while her heart palpitated quickly.
"I don\'t know. Usually, a guy will lose interest when he gets what he wants. I guess some other girls are currently..." Jenna made a sucking motion while shaking her hand up and down in front of her mouth, emulating the blowjob technique she learned from her mother.
"NOO!" Elsa screamed in denial. Jenna stopped teasing and rolled her eyes at Elsa. "Virgin." She muttered. "If you\'re really that scared, just take him to my room tonight and claim him as yours. Check out the drawer." Jenna said and pointed to her nightstand.
When Elsa opened it, she found that it was filled with boxes of condoms, birth control pills, plan B pills, and even lube.
"W-Wh-what are you telling me to do?" Elsa said with shaky eyes as she picked up the pink toy Jenna used in the drawer. As she clicked the button, the toy started to vibrate. Jenna walked to Elsa and grabbed the toy from her before she leaned forward and pushed Elsa\'s body onto the bed.
"Hey!" Elsa tried to resist, but Jenna was being forceful toward her. "Push him down like this...And then..." Jenna said and slid her fingers into Elsa\'s thigh before getting underneath her underwear.
"STOP IT!" Elsa said angrily and pushed Jenna away before she got off the bed and walked a few steps away. Jenna smiled mischievously and licked her finger that she used to tease Elsa\'s private part. She got off the bed and walked to Elsa before she whispered to her friend\'s ears.
"By the way. You taste quite good."
"Shut up Slut!" Elsa cursed in anger before she changed into her own bikini. But unlike Jenna, she covered up her body with a thin layer of clothes that people wore on top of their swimming suits.
The party started quickly at 6.30 in the evening but the VIPs hadn\'t arrived yet.
"Where is Edward?" Jenna asked after the party had started for an hour, but there were still no signs of her target.
"I don\'t know. Jacob isn\'t answering me... Jenna... I think...he\'s talking to other girls and is cheating on me." Elsa said in a somber tone.
Rolling her eyes, Jenna said, "It wasn\'t cheating as you guys haven\'t dated yet. Just push him on the bed as I told you to. You\'ll get him."
Then, the late guest finally pulled up inside a gray Peugeot and walked out of the car.
"Hey. They are here!" Jenna said excitedly and ignored all the flies that were swarming around her to finally start seducing Edward.
