Priceless
Chapter 2
Lennon walked through her closet running her fingers over the endless pairs of designer jeans, blouses, skirts, and dresses as she combed through her things looking for something to wear to the party tonight. There wasn't much information given regarding the formality of the party so Lennon was trying her best to find a suitable outfit. She had no idea what to wear, but she knew it had to be perfect. Lennon reached for her black pencil skirt and her favorite floral top. She slid on her white wedges and decided that her outfit would suffice. As she ran her flat iron over her blonde curls and touched up her makeup she heard a soft tapping on her door. Dakota was standing in her doorway decked out in 5 inch stilettos and a formfitting black metallic dress. She looked like she was about to go to the club, not a party. Even though Dakota was only a sophomore, she was just as well liked in the junior class as Lennon, granting her entry to any party she desired.

When the girls pulled up to the party Dakota seemed to jump out of the car before it even reached a full stop. As they entered the party it was apparent that there was a lot of drinking going on. The bitter smell of vodka and beer was almost palpable in the air and judging by the amount of people at the party, it was no surprise.
Lennon, unlike most of her friends, didn't drink. Dakota, on the other hand, loved to drink, party, and be the wild brunette that she really was. She was known for getting out of control but she was lucky enough to have Lennon there to cover for her and protect her already tarnished reputation.
Lennon spotted Blake from across the room, his hair was tousled and he looked like he just rolled out of bed. Drunk, Lennon though to herself with a disgusted look on her face. He grabbed Lennon around the waist tightly and when he whispered hello in her ear she could smell the vodka on his breath. Disgusting, she thought as she tried to free herself. Lennon hated Blake's attitude when he was drunk. He became an the arrogant and cocky jock that even Blake himself hated. When Lennon finally unhinged herself from his grasp he seemed unsteady and almost fell over as Lennon maneuvered through the crowd towards her friend Taitlyn. Taitlyn's beautiful curly brown hair was pin straight down her back and her heavy makeup made her green eyes pop, she was undeniably stunning. Taitlyn seemed carefree and happy while Lennon was uneasy and anxious. Her boyfriend was acting like a drunk jerk and her sister was off with vodka in one hand and a boy in another.
It was going to be a long night.
