Human

Chapter 5:


"Paris? Paris?" A hushed voice whispered.

"What? What!" I snapped out if my sleep.

"Paris? You're there?"

"Um yeah, I just woke up. I must have answered my phone in my sleep." I rubbed my eyes looking at the clock.

"Oh, well it's Casper. Anyway, did you get my text?"

"Um, just let me check here. Yeah, I did get it. Sorry I didn't respond, I probably fell asleep." I scrolled through my phone, looking at everything rose I've missed.

"So you wanna come over? Girls night?" Casper sounded really eager for this.

"Yeah sure. As long as we get some sleep, I'm still a little groggy." I rubbed my eyes again and started getting up. "I'll get dressed and pick us up some food on my way over."

"I've already eaten, but thanks anyway. I'll text you the address."

"Sounds like a plan, I should be over in about twenty minutes."

"Yes! Alright, see you then!"

Now on to real problems, what am I going to wear? I want to wear something they would like, considering I'm going into there area, but I left most of my clothes at Casper's. Rummaging through all my clothes I found the perfect outfit. A white Reckless tank top with black writing, maroon, high waisted, button up jeans, white converse, A cotton, black 'leather' jacket, and an actual black leather and gold, backpack. To go with the look I applied lots of mascara and bold cat eyeliner and a nude pink lipstick. Just like Casper suggested.

Packing my bag with some sweats, an old athletic shirt, and a few other random items, I grabbed my wallet and began walking. One benefit from living on campus was defenitly all the food and stores were in walking distance. It only took me about four minutes to pick up some Chinese food and hop on the bus to Caspers. But like I learned earlier today, busses were not my thing. And this bus, in particularly on this route, happened to be packed.

By the time I paid the driver there were only two seats left. Either one in the back next to a rugged and sleepy man. Or next to a hooded male looking out the window with large headphones blaring music. Looks like he hoodlum it is. I smiled and took a seat next to the guy. He just gave me an awkward glance and completely ignored me. I shrugged and pulled out my phone, texting Casper.

By the time Caspers street was around the corner the bus was almost completely cleared out. Only the sleepy man, a small Indian girl, and the hoodlum remained. When it was finally my stop, I grabbed my food and started walking towards he exit, but something stopped me. Outside of Caspers building was a large group of men, all covered in piercings and tattoos.

I hesitantly stepped out of the bus, receiving multiple distain looks. After two large men exchanged a few looks they took a few steps towards me, as the bus sped off, leaving me to face them. Some other guys noticed there disappearance and joined the bulky men walking at me.

"Looks like we are gonna have fun tonight!" One of the men grumbled at the rest of them.
"Aye! Guys, leave her alone, she's a friend of mine!" A voice shouted. The guys however didn't stop, backing me into a corner. "Aye, are you guys fucking deaf? Leave the girl the fuck alone!" Liam shouted and pushed through the crowd helped to the door.

"Thanks for that." I whispered as I entered the building.

"Yeah, sorry about that. Those dicks are horrid. Anyway, you should be good for now, they learned their lesson." Liam smiled apologetically.

"Thanks again." I smiled and headed for the elevator.

"God Paris, I've been waiting for hours now!" Casper was sprawled out on the lounge floor.

"Well sorry a mob of gang bangers circled me outside your building!" I followed Casper to her room.

"What? Are you serious? Did anything happen?" Casper open up my food, stealing a few pieces of chicken from my noodles.

"No, Liam stopped them, before I got robbed, or mugged."

"Or worse." Casper shrugged, creeping me out a bit. "So what do you want to do first? I've got a whole list of things we can do!" Casper quickly changed the subject and pulled a little note off her mini fridge.

"Why don't you have a kitchen if this is your apartment?" I took the note and looked over at her
microwave, stove top, and mini fridge.

"We all eat together."

"We?" I raised an eyebrow.

"All of us here in the building. It will make sense later, just read the list." Casper shoved he note back in my face.

It read:

Paint each others nails
Dance party
Mess with Peyton
Beer pong
Truth or dare
Pool
Swimming
Tag
Hide-and-go-seek
Makeup
Suck or blow
Bake
Darts
Nerf war
Paint fight
Portraits
Scavenger hunt

"Wow, it's like I'm backing in the sixth grade, with a few exceptions of course." I teased.

"I haven't had an actual friend over in years. Unless you count tattooed drug addicts, your friends."

"Well let's get to it!" I cheered.

"Alright, just let me call them all up here!" Casper pulled out her phone.

"Them?"

"What? You thinking we could do this all by ourselves? Everyone in the building is playing!"

"Oh god." I mumbled.

"It's not that bad, trust me." Casper winked and opened the door, allowing a few guys in.

From what I know, there are five levels of girls with two occupied rooms on each floor. That means eleven girls including me, and who knows how many floors there are for guys?

"Paris? Your playing?" Niall approached.

"Yeah of course!" I cheered and mentally slapped myself for sounding so stupid.

"Well alrighty then." Niall nodded in agreement.

"Okay everybody, listen up!" Casper now stood on a coffee table in the center of the now packed room. "We are all here to play a highly competitive, whole building game. Everyone living here is playing whether they want or or not. My friend Paris, is also here to help the girls team secure yet another victory! I have made lists of every activity in order for each of you. After each game a team with me announced the winner. You have five minutes to go get your nerds gear and report to the lobby to begin. Good luck!" Casper grinned.

I glanced down at the list Niall passed to me; Nerf war, paint fight, swimming, tag, hide-and-go-seek, scavenger hunt, suck and blow, portraits.

Looks like my night is going to be spent running around playing childish games. Not to mention the all in a bikini. Like, what could go wrong?

Notes

Paris's Outfit

Probably going to double update, because this is chapter is really boring and short. So, be prepared cause the second chapter is pretty long.

So today I was in math and this kid kept annoying me, (I have a seat in the back by the fun and popular kids) and he kept saying he loves me and asking me to marry me. I knew it was all a joke so I laugh ed listened to my teacher. Anyway, so today in reading, he kept pestering me again, and got down on one knee while most people were looking at us. (We sit in the back, again.) so I said, and I quote, "If I say yes will you shut up?" So I Said yes and then he kept yelling and telling everyone we are married and in the hallway put his arm around me. And again today on math he announced we are married, to everyone. But it's okay, because we are getting a divorce .

thats my rant for now.
thanks! :)
