Pushing through sweaty bodies and clouds of marijuana, Joe made her way into the center of the living room. It was slightly difficult to see through the many bodies standing around and under the dim lighting. Not to mention hard to hear over the booming music, loud conversations taking place along with the sound of laughter. The walls and floor practically vibrated because of the bass. The party was definitely going strong, to say the least, and she had only just arrived.
From where she stood there was no way she could find her companions, especially being so short. She stepped on the tip of her toes, trying her best t look over the heads of others and failing miserably. Someone took a step back and their back collided into her making her stumble back a couple of steps, almost losing her balance.
Clearly, this wasn't working.
Joe sighed lightly and pushed back her curls behind her ears before making her way to the wall. Following a path along there would surely be easier than making her way through so many others. She ignored the advances of some men as well as the angry glares she received from some couple she had bumped into until she was in the kitchen.
It wasn't much better there.
Some guy who couldn't hold his drink was puking in the sink and circle of girls were gossiping next to the snack table while some idiots guys surrounded a keg chanting loudly while their friend swallowed as much beer as possible. Nothing about this entire scene was new.
"Excuse me?" Joe tapped one of the shoulders of the least distracted participants of the party. The woman turned around and raised an eyebrow at her. "Have you seen Adrian?"
"Who?" The woman repeated, eyes crinkling.
Joe smiled and shook her head. "Never mind." She replied and the woman seemed all too happy to be rid of her.
Who was Adrian? The whole reason she was at this party. He was a close friend, one that had been missing for a couple of days with barely any contact. She had reason to believe he was attending this dam party, and to be honest it seemed like some place he'd be.
She decided she'd just have to stake out for a little bit and then look for him again if she didn't spot the guy. Taking a cup from the table filled with dark liquid, which she hoped was simply soda, she made her way to the sidelines along with every other wallflower.
