Normally, Candie would have been terrified to walk into the dance with Kaleb. He was Tansy's brother, Nena's ex, and Reed's best friend. She was crossing a hundred lines, showing up there with him. The only thing keeping her from turning and running the other way was the pill he'd slipped her. She had no idea what it was, but it made her feel better than just good. She felt invincible, his strong, possessive grip around her waist boosting it, making her feel wanted.
They slipped inside and she smirked as her eyes wandered the room, but she didn't have much time to look before Kaleb pulled her away, towards a table covered in food and a large punch bowl. Kaleb gave her a wicked grin before placing his finger to his lips like he was shhing her. Candie smirked back mischievously as he pulled out a large bottle of vodka and emptied it into the punch bowl, glancing around to make sure no teachers had seen. Once the bottle was empty, he placed it under the table, gave the bowl a stir, and got the two of them drinks.
Candie reached for it, but just as she touched it, he smirked and pulled it away, taking another pill out and holding it up so she could see it before plopping it into the drink and handing it to her. "Damn baby, you trying to kill me?" She chuckled as he handed her the drink and wrapped an arm around her, pulling her close. She laughed lightly as he kissed her teasingly, nipping her jaw and ear while she downed the drink, not even bothering to ask what was in it.
Across the room, Candie spotted Nena with some guy she didn't recognize and grabbed Kaleb's shirt tightly, jaw clenching. He noticed and pulled away from kissing her, following her eyes out to the dancers to find what she had. She sighed as she watched his body tense, wishing, not for the first time that she could be the one to make him jealous like that. That Nena was the one he'd taken to the dance to try and win her back.
Before she had a whole lot of time to pity herself, Kaleb swept her towards the dance floor, pulling her close to where Nena was with her date, making sure the two of them were within eyeshot as he spun her around and grabbed her hips, pulling her back against his chest and her hips into his tightly. "Dance." He breathed in her ear as on hand slid from her hip down, to grip her thigh so tightly, she knew it'd bruise. Candie didn't ask questions. Just sent a cruel smirk Nena's way and started grinding on Kaleb, body moving so fluidly with his, pressed so tightly against him, they may as well have been fucking right there in the dance floor.
Donnie danced with Lauren a few times and drank some of the whiskey he'd brought as well as supplied the two of them with enough drugs to get them decently high. He'd been nervous to show up, but so far, he'd been having a pretty decent time. He was drunk and high enough to pretend he was happy with Lauren and he hadn't seen Tansy yet so it hadn't actually been half bad so far.
After their second dance, Donnie leaned in to Lauren, whispering in her ear about fucking on the principle's desk. She'd laughed, assuming he was joking, but he'd just smirked and laced his fingers with hers, pulling her from the room, down the hall towards the office. It felt good, the possibility of getting caught doing something they shouldn't. It was the closest he'd felt in a month to that intoxicating danger he used to feel when he was with Tansy.
Before they got there though, they ran into Tansy in the hallway, straightening her dress as one of their teachers slipped out of the closer behind her, making him roll his eyes. “I always knew you liked my sloppy seconds Lo.” Tansy said to Lauren, making it perfectly clear that she was on something. “How does it feel being second best…I wouldn’t know.” She taunted, turning her eyes on him. Normally, he might have been tempted to beg her back, but he was drunk and high so he simply raised his eyebrows as he watched her, ignoring whatever Lauren shouted because he was too focused on Tansy. Damn, he'd missed her. She looked incredible.
“Jealous of what sweetheart? I’ve already had him, besides I have nothing to be jealous of. He’s still in love with me and he’s miserable with you.” She said cruelly and Donnie rolled his eyes. She was right, of course, but the way she was talking pissed him off. Like she didn't care. She was playing it off well, but he could see it in her eyes. She still cared. “Isn’t that right Tae?” She smirked and Donnie scoffed.
He reached out, wrapping an arm around Lauren's waist and pulling her close to his side to reassure her as he held Tansy's eyes. "You're full of shit Tansy." He shrugged casually, like seeing her wasn't painful. "How's life going with Collin?" He asked with a dark smirk. "Any trips to the hospital lately?" Donnie smirked, knowing it was cruel but not caring.
