Freshman Year - December

Jo vaguely wondered if the sink would break out from under her. Frat bathrooms were never in the best shape, but this one was even rougher than usual. One of the stalls had a door hanging from a single hinge, the walls clearly had water damage, and thank God it was too dark to see the floor clearly. Unfortunately, the guy fingering her clearly had no idea what the fuck he was doing, so she had little else to do than look around.

“All right,” she finally said, pushed him away by the chest, and readjusted her clothes. The door opened as another couple stumbled inside, and pulsing music from the party poured into the room.

“What?” The guy stumbled back—Jo had no idea what his name was. He was so drunk that when he reached for the wall, he missed by at least two feet, and stumbled back against the bathroom stalls.

“I’m going to get another shot!” Jo called and jabbed her thumb toward the door.

The guy nodded like he wanted to come with her, but she slipped out of the bathroom and plunged into the crowd of sweaty, drunken college students before he could catch up.

She’d lost the girls she’d come here with tonight—Lacy and Tracy, the twins who ran the photograph club—but she hadn’t found their company particularly enjoyable anyway. The pledge behind the bar grinned at her as she approached. The brothers had him wearing a bikini top and a sombrero, even though Jo was pretty sure the theme for tonight was James Bond.

“Another shot?” he asked.

The pledge poured two shots—one for her, and one for himself, apparently. He was cute, she supposed, but the bikini top was hard to look past. He raised the shot glass, clanked it against hers, and she threw it back, not even tasting it. She locked eyes with a guy down the bar, who nodded at her. She quickly turned away and scanned the crowd. No sign of Lacy or Tracy. Maybe they left. And now that the E she’d taken earlier was wearing off, this party was suddenly a lot less fun.

Hands grabbed her hips and pulled her back against a body. “You wanna dance?” an unfamiliar voice murmured in her ear.

“Nope.” She shook off the stranger’s hands and pushed back into the crowd, the room a little blurrier than it had been before. Two girls who looked a lot like Addie and Liv were dancing on some guys in the corner, and Jo quickly pivoted away, not wanting to deal with them tonight either. The song shifted as she reached the center of the dance floor, and she froze, the alcohol that had been burning in her chest a moment ago instantly turning to ice.

She wants to get a taste, oh yeah she wants it, we all know.
