It’s been a long summer with Anna gone and I am just so happy to be back with her. I was pretty lonely this summer with her back at home and me stuck here. Her family actually wanted her home, unlike mine. Not that I would go home if they did and I would be alone anyways. Since I turned eighteen my aunt hasn’t been around anymore and my parents would never take time off to spend with me.
Anna just laughs at me and locks her arm with mine as we head out the door.

We get out of the Uber and thankfully there is no line for the bar. It’s warm out but no one wants to wait in a line.
We hand over our IDs for the bouncer to check. He clearly recognizes us from last year because he barely checks them, giving us a small smile when he hands them back. They wave us past paying cover, perks of being a girl.
Finally, I walk into Fieldhouse right behind Anna. Fieldhouse is the best bar in this college town and Anna likes to drag me here every Thursday night. Last year it was fine because my first class on Friday started at one pm but this semester I have an eight am class on Fridays. I already know the rest of the semester is going to be rough but I don’t have class tomorrow. It’s the beginning of the semester and since I’m here, I might as well enjoy it. Plus, I doubt it’s going to stop me from coming here on a Thursday again.
Anna has my hand in a vice and is dragging me towards the bar. She leans over to me once we get there, shouting, “tequila shots?”
My answer should be no, but the music and all the people at at the bar have already infected me and I’m ready for a fun night with my bestie.
Since we were separated for the summer I need this time to reconnect with her. She is my rock, helping me heal after a summer being alone.
“Yes, but make sure you get the salt and lime!” I yell back. The last time Anna got us tequila shots she forgot both. Anna took it down like a pro but I looked like an idiot coughing from how strong it was.
Normally, I can handle shots like a pro. I’ve done a fair bit of partying to make up for my lack of social life in the past but I’ve never mastered tequila shots.
A few minutes later, we both down a couple of tequila shots and turn around to take in the scene. It’s gotten a lot more crowded since we got here, I even see a line outside. There are people everywhere dancing, girls in scandalous clothes, and guys along the walls checking them out. The first weeks of school are still warm from the summer before fall sets in. The girls on campus take full advantage, wearing the most revealing clothes they can. The guys on campus take full advantage by staring at them like they haven’t seen a girl all summer. Maybe they haven’t.
I catch one guy outright ogling my chest but instead of ducking away like I expect when I catch him, he makes a small forward thrusting motion and winks. Seriously, guys are so gross. Why would that ever be your first reaction?
“Ew, ew, ew, Anna please tell me you saw that,” I practically screech in my friend’s ear. For some reason I’ll feel better if my friend knows how terrible that guy just was.
I don’t know why I expect better, it’s always the same with college boys at bars around here. Just once I would love a little respect.
“Oh, ya I did! Hey, creep! Back off!” She directs at him, showing her disdain. There is one thing Anna won’t stand for and that’s guys being sleazy. I can’t agree more.
I give him a glare so he knows that was not okay. After my dirty look and Anna’s words, he looks sheepish and apologetic. At least we may have gotten through to one sleaze ball tonight.
Anna changes directions, distracting me from the perv, “let’s go dance, Aly!” I guess that wasn’t a question because Anna is pulling me behind her before I even get the chance to respond.
She knows I wouldn’t deny her the chance to dance though, I love it too. It’s one of the things we bonded over freshman year at parties.
We find a nice spot in the middle of the dance floor. We have to fight through couples grinding and guys throwing themselves around for attention. The music is a good mix of classic pop and throw backs that are easy to dance to. It isn’t long before we are both dancing like crazy, swaying our hips and singing along to the music. It feels so good to let go with a friend.
Anna looks amazing tonight, her shoulder length blond hair is styled pin straight and her heart shaped face has just the right amount of makeup. She is rocking a little black dress with spaghetti straps and some black ankle boots. The heel isn’t too big but Anna is still a good couple of inches taller than my five-four frame.
My chestnut brown hair is longer than hers and falls right below my chest. Tonight it is styled in a loose wave that is inspired by a beach look. My off the shoulder shirt falls right above my chest and you can see the swell of my average sized chest. It’s no rack like Anna’s but at least a solid C cup. My grey tank is tucked into a black skirt that shows off my long legs. Anna always insists on some type of heel, so the look is complete with some black wedges.
Anna and I have been best friends since we were assigned as roommates freshman year. We were both so afraid of what college was going to be like, that we stayed up together the whole first night crying. After that, we were inseparable, always telling each other about every detail of our lives. She is my first best friend and really showed me how to meet other people and be social. She is a social butterfly with a million friends but she always has time for me.
We both continue to dance and get a little crazy as the night goes on. A couple of guys come and go but as soon as I realize there’s no spark I lose interest and so do they.
I’m not really looking for a guy anyway, I’ve never had good luck in that department.

Something has me on edge tonight and I can not figure it out. The boys and I all decided to scope out Brickstone University’s main bar, Fieldhouse. It seems like a really fun place and I can see why it’s so packed.
Normally, I would be all over this. I love to socialize and party with the best of them.
