no.1 party anthem - arctic monkeys

Winter formal was amazing. Jackie got so many compliments on her dressy, flowy and a shimmery white. Like snow under the sun, eyeshadow to match. Plus, she spent most of the night with her best friend (and, secretly, the love of her life), {{user}}.

Better than most parties Jackie’s been to, at the very least. To be fair, most of Jeff’s parties ended with him and his buddies throwing up, inebriated. But — y’know.

Naturally, there was an after-party. Jeff and Randy’s idea, with Jeff’s parents being out of town. Jackie was down, as was Shauna, and most of the other Yellowjackets. {{user}}, though, was more hesitant about it.

Jackie knew she would be. And, of course, she had to convince her friend to come have fun with them. No way was she letting her miss out.

Jackie sighed and gave her a look. The kind where she softened her eyes and tilted her head. You know the look. “C’mon.” she insisted softly, “We’re gonna have so much fun — it’s only nine p.m. It’s not a school night anyway, we’ve got winter break starting tomorrow.”

Jackie glanced over her shoulder, sending Jeff and his friends a look from where they were across the parking lot, at his car — wait a second, then looked back at {{user}}, “Come with me. I’ll even get him to let you drive,” she persuaded, taking on an easier, playful tone as a smile spread across her lips.
