Arden and I went past the caution tape that kept people from upstairs, and then back downstairs where the number of people seemed to have doubled. A bunch of rambunctious people jumped around and danced as a DJ played song after song. Hardly anyone was standing with their back against the wall, and if they were they were getting tongued down by someone else. The rapper took my hand and she pushed through the crowd with her arm as she led me into the center of it all. The people danced as if shimmying demons had possessed their bodies. Some were dancing naughtily, body against body as if they were the only ones in the extended space of the living room. Others were carefree, just enjoying being able to be at such an indecorous party.

The rapper's hand escaped mine as she actually began dancing to whatever rap song was playing in the background. I giggled at her dancing. She wasn't bad but it was amusing to see someone represented as such a badass actually dance. "Come on! You have to dance! This is my song! Literally!" Listening to the song a bit harder, I heard Arden rapping on the bass heavy track. Everyone was rapping out the lyrics as they danced. The song was a bit catchy, but also very vulgar. Arden was talking about anything from drugs to sex, which I guess was your typical rap song. Looking around, I saw everyone not paying attention to me. It was like they were in their own world, enjoying their time with the people they came with or met at the party. "Come on, don't be shy," Arden told me as she urged me to dance. Even though butterflies were swimming in my stomach, and I was insecure about my dance moves, I began moving my body to the blaring song.

At first my moves were stiff and cautious, but after a while I could feel that strong liquor from earlier coursing in my veins. The alcohol gave me the courage that I needed and within minutes, I was dancing as if I had no care in the world. Arden laughed at me as I laughed at her. We danced next to each other, mimicking each other's moves. She danced effortlessly with undeviating confidence. Her dance moves didn't come out forced. Arden was more of a natural dancer. Nothing fancy, but also nothing too subtle and I liked that. Sometimes she would even incorporate a lame dance move just for the laughs, which was more than adorable. "You're finally letting go," she yelled to me over the music before taking hold of my hands. Arden began swinging our hands wildly and I twittered as she spun me around with one hand if as we were waltzing. After the twirl, I was a bit dizzy and ended up falling right into her arms. She chuckled and I blushed as I gave her an embarrassed smile. She was about to say something but before she could Justin walked over to us.

"Stop dancing for a second and come play some beer pong, casanova! Anthony and I need some competition so Mira can play as well!"

I quickly declined the offer. "No, I'll just watch! I'll probably ruin the whole game, plus I've never played it."

Arden gave me a bit of a smirk. "Do Hungarians not play beer pong? Don't worry, I'll teach you."

"Then we've got ourselves a game," Justin declared as he turned back around to push through the drug-induced crowd. Arden held my hand as we followed Justin outside to the backyard. A bunch of people were spread out in the huge yard. Most were in the pool although. There was a few skinny dippers showing off their bodies carelessly. I really didn't see how they could do that with at least a thousand people around. I wasn't so much insecure about my body but I didn't want anyone to see it in any kind of way. My manager hated that. She wanted me to do nude photoshoots because supposedly, they'd make me more relevant, but that wasn't my thing. Lingerie shoots were as far as I would go and that was final. There wasn't anything my manager or modeling agency could say to get me to change my mind. My body. My rules.

"Hey, are you good?" I snapped out of my thoughts and looked towards Arden. I gave her a nod to let her know that I was fine. We had come to a stop in front a beer pong table that was glowing in the dark. A few people crowded the table waiting for the next game, but it seemed like they were all people Arden was close with and not just randoms. I spotted out Kyndall arranging ten cups on each side of the table as Anthony filled them halfway with beer.

"So, it's me and Anthony against you two," Justin clarified as he pointed to Arden and I.

"Yeah, and you're going down, b-tch!"

"She's doesn't even know the rules!"

"I'm about to tell her, you little c-nt! Go piss in a mop bucket or some sh-t!" Justin smacked his lips but walked over to talk to a girl who looked oddly familiar. Was that Riley Cyrus?

"Okay," Arden said as she grabbed a ball on the table. She went to one side of the table and I followed her. "The goal of the game is to get this ball into one of their cups. We throw two balls each of our turns. So, I'll throw one and then you'll throw one. No underhand throws or they'll throw a b-tch fit. Whenever someone scores by putting the ball into the other teams' cup then the other team has to drink the contents of the cup. Got it?"

"Got it."

Arden gave me a smile. "Good." She walked over to Justin and pulled him towards the table where Anthony and Kyndall already was. "Kyndall, are you like the referee or something," Arden asked before laughing.

"Someone has to make sure your double-dealing ass doesn't cheat," Anthony remarked.

"Come on, guys. Since when do I cheat? It's all skill!"

"Okay you bickering assholes, let's get this game underway," Kyndall said as she stepped in between Justin and Arden. "Best out of three Rock, Paper, Scissors matches to see which teams goes first. Arden, don't pull that stupid sh-t you always do. Only use either rock, paper or scissors, don't use God to beat out everything and then argue that we can't argue because it's a religious value. F-ck that. Just rock, paper, or scissors." Arden smacked her lips at Kyndall but got in positon. Justin won the first round, out beating Arden with a rock to her scissors. The second round went the total opposite Justin went scissors while Arden had went with rock. "Okay, this is for first shot," Kyndall made notice. The two friends went for the final round, Arden was the victor with paper against rock.

"F-ck," Justin exclaimed as he went to his side of the table with Anthony. Arden and I walked over to our side and she grabbed a ball from a special marked cup which was filled with water to clean the ball. She passed the ball to me.

"You can have the first shot." I bit my bottom lip as I stared across the table. The red plastic cups seemed so far. Closing one of my eyes, I lifted the ball that Arden had gave me and aimed at the cup right in the center. After taking a deep breath, I threw the ball and it plopped beautifully into the center cup. "Damn, you're a natural, kitten." Arden punched my shoulder lightly and playfully as I blushed. Justin grumbled as he took the ball out of the cup and drank its contents. The ball was returned back to Arden who shot the ball at one of the cups, she failed. Anthony picked up the ball from the grass and rinsed it off in their water cup before lobbing the ball towards our cups. The small ping pong ball looked as if it was going an opposite direction, but the curve Anthony had put on it, somehow made it go right into one of our outer cups. Now, both teams were down to nine cups.

"Sorcery," Arden yelled to the top of her lungs in disbelief. I admit, the shot seemed fake but I knew Anthony wasn't a wizard. At least, he didn't look like one. Justin and Anthony dapped each other up as they laughed at Arden who took the drink for our team. She tossed the ball back at the boys who were laughing about something or another. Justin was laughing so hard that when he threw the ball, it didn't even go half the distance of the table. "Nice throw, p-ssy," Arden said as she grabbed the ball. We went back and forth. So far, I had made most of my shots. The boys were down to three cups to Arden and I's six. Everyone cheered for me every time it was my turn since I was such a good shot. Whenever the boys made their shot, Arden and I would take turns drinking the beer which caused me to be a bit tipsy from the liquor from earlier as well. It seemed like the drunker I got, the easier it was to sink in the ball into the cups.

The further the game progressed, the more people crowded around. My confidence had intensified from when I first arrived at Arden's place. Now I was full of energy and able to actually let go and have some fun. "Are you guys ready for this sh-t," I asked once Arden tossed me the ball. She gave me a smirk.

"Never heard you curse. You're not a kitten anymore, you're a tigress." The alcohol in my system caused me to growl at Arden and we both laughed.

"Are you going to throw the ball or not, Hungarian," Justin asked as he put his hands in the air in frustration. By this time, we were all pretty wasted with the beer we had to drink for each shot made.

"Just give me a second, Canadian," I yelled back to him. Facing the table, I stared at the three cups. Justin and Anthony had reracked their cups in line formation. I didn't see how that would help them much, but they felt as if it was a stellar idea. When they first reracked their cups, they giggled and snickered amongst themselves as if they were geniuses, but they weren't. Three cups lined up beside each other wasn't going to make anything any more difficult with me. As if it was nothing, I threw the ball at one of the cups and it sank in. The horde that had gathered cheered with amazement and Arden wrapped her arm around my neck in celebration. Anthony sourly took the drink before tossing the ball back to us. Arden caught it with her arm stilled draped around me.

"If I get this, then we get to go again and the game is ours," she informed as she stared at me with those glassy, hypnotizing eyes. "I may need a little encouragement to make sure I make this." She puckered her lips and I rolled my eyes at her before pushing her away from me playfully. She chuckled as she shook her head at me, "Don't worry, you'll be kissing me sooner or later, Budapest."

"Yeah? Probably in your dreams tonight, Aussie."

"Or in my bed tonight," Arden shot me a wink and with ease she chucked the ball right into a cup with her eyes still on me. "Trick shot." I tried to compress a smile, but it showed which only allowed her to give me her arrogant grin.

We received the ball back and it was my turn to sink the final cup. All eyes were on me as everyone cheered for me. Most didn't know my name so they chanted out "Hungarian" over and over again. Arden's hand touched the middle of my back and I looked towards her. She just gave me a perfect smile before nodding for me to make the shot. Her touching my back only made me nervous. My hand shook as I aimed it at the final cup. Anthony and Justin already knew they were going to lose. Anthony was smoking a doobie that he had stored behind his ear as Justin sat there with a stone face and crossed arms like a child. My shaky hand lobbed the ball and with a satisfying splash it entered the cup. Everyone went berserk as if I had just won an Olympic medal. A huge smile spread across my face as I could hear people chanting for the Hungarian over and over again. Is this what I was missing out of this whole time by being with Ellie?

Arden took my hand and raised it up as if I was a champion. "The coolest f-cking Hungarian and also the MVP of this game, Mira! Everybody make some noise," she yelled. The crowd did as they were told and their voice's echoed in the night's sky. How did Arden's neighbors deal with this nonsense every night?

"Well, damn, Mira, as much as I want to hate, you were A1 for your first game," Anthony said as he gave me a smile. Just like Arden, he had those golden plates in his mouth but his whole bottom row of teeth was covered and glistening.

Justin nodded his head as he lifted a beer in the air. "Thanks for getting us f-cking wasted!"

"Good game," Kyndall said as she patted my back. "Next time, I'm going to play and you're going to be on my team." I smiled and nodded my head in agreement. Now I was going to have two friends with the same name Kyndall and Kendall, that's going to get confusing.

"Good game, indeed," a short-haired blonde said as she approached us. "I think the Hungarian deserves some shots." The girl was Riley Cyrus. Just like Justin, she stayed in the media but lately she's been pretty chill. She was a wild partier so I wasn't surprised to see her at one of Arden's parties.

"Shots it is," Justin agreed. There were liquor bottles lined up all around the beer pong table. Justin grabbed some shot glasses and began mixing the drinks as I looked on. "Since, you're so tough Hungarian, let's see if you can handle these. You and I, shot contest. Whoever p-ssys out first loses or whomever finished their row of shots last loses."

"Deal," I said to the Canadian as I walked over to the table. The crowd closed in. In front of us were about ten shots, all that Justin had quickly mustered up with different liquors. Justin put five in front of me and five in front of him. "On your mark, Hungarian." I took the first shot down and my throat burned tremendously. I tried not to make a face but one escaped. Justin chuckled as he took his with a bit of anguish as well. We went shot after shot. After the third one, Justin seemed a bit off but I continued and finished all the way to final and fifth shot. The Canadian shakenly held his fifth shot and was about to chug it before he saw that I finished mine before him. Everyone was screaming out for me again and Arden laughed at Justin as she took the shot from him.

"You're a p-ssy, punk," she said as she took Justin's final shot for him.

"Since you two," Justin burped and frowned as he lost his balance. He slowly regained his balance and gave us a sloppy smile. "Since you two, are so-sooooo good at drinking why don't you do some body shots? We want to see body shots!" Justin led the crowd of about fifty people that had gathered around to go on a full on chant for body shots.

Arden looked at me with an eyebrow lifted. "If you're down, I'm down." I couldn't let the crowd down. There was way too much hype to built up to say no and I wouldn't mind a little more liquor, especially off of Arden's yummy body.

"Count me in."
