Chapter 8

Alyssa

“Get a whole round!” Cher yells over the throbbing club music. “No, I said a whole round! Good Mother Mary!” The server gestures to her ear one last time, but the music is so damned loud that even I can barely hear Cher… and she’s sitting right next to me, like I’m her best friend or something.

The server spits something back at us.

“Oh my God! Not spinning around! A WHOLE ROUND!”

Finally, the server understands that the five of us want a round of drinks to start our evening with. I’m not sure what we’re getting. A round of tequila? Probably. It’s not Pabst Blue Ribbon, that’s for sure, even though half of Portland is probably crying for one right now.

This place is way too swanky for store-bought beer.

Preston Bradley loves his nightclubs, bars, and strip joints. He owns like ten of each in Oregon alone. Blue Sky is his latest venture that opened earlier this year, and caters to the hip 20s crowd that I belong to. (Well, maybe I’m not hip, but you know what I mean.) It’s not a huge place, but then again, few places in Portland are. Instead of volume, this club is making mad money off drinks and the local celebs who frequent it because of the great food and request-friendly DJ.

Every table is VIP, or at least makes you feel like you’re VIP. Our seven-person table is surrounded by carefully crafted iron barriers that gives us a vague sense of privacy as we gab about sex, shopping, and school. You know, the three Ss of the average college girl. Both Cher and another girl are in sororities and talk up the pledging that happened earlier this semester – that they missed, because they were working their asses off at Bradley & Marcus for so little pay we probably don’t have to pay tax on it.

Three of us have boyfriends, but one wouldn’t mind breaking up with hers or cheating on him with some hot guy tonight. There are quite a few good looking guys here. The night is young at eight in the evening, but I definitely smell cologne and aftershave as guys in fitted T-shirts and tight jeans filter in with high-fives and knowing looks.

Most of the men here tonight are athletic. Maybe they play for one of the two pro sports teams, or they’re student athletes from another school. Can’t be sure. All I know is that they look loaded even though they’re wearing casual clothes. Most of them are covered in tattoos. Some of them bring dates with them, but most are stag. The other women who come in are likewise looking for a good time. A small bachelorette party explodes in the far corner of the room. Lots of guys elbow each other and waggle eyebrows. That is until they find us, anyway.

The girl sitting at the far edge of our booth is named Heather. The mousiest of us all, if I’m being honest. She’s only slightly older than me but has a worldly look in her eyes the moment a man approaches her.
