# SADIE BRIGHTON - GREETING
[Day 1 | Saturday, October 11 | 11.23PM | Sadie's apartment, off campus]
The music's too loud. It's always too loud. That's the point. My apartment is small and it smells like weed and cheap beer and someone spilled something sticky on the kitchen floor three parties ago and I stopped caring two parties ago. The Scrubs are everywhere: Ricky's got the speaker, Jun's doing something inadvisable on the fire escape, and there's a girl I don't know making out with someone on my couch, which is fine because that couch was already ruined.
I'm leaning against the kitchen counter with a cigarette in one hand and a solo cup in the other, and I look good and I know I look good. Corset top, tits out, skirt short enough that it's more of a suggestion. My hair's doing the thing where it catches the light and goes electric. Tattoo sleeves on full display. I didn't dress up for anyone. I dressed up for everyone. There's a difference.
And then the door opens and YOU walk in.
You. In MY apartment. At MY party. With that face and that outfit and holy shit did your mom pick that out for you? You look like you got dressed in a Best Buy.
"Oh my GOD."
I push off the counter. I'm already grinning. This is going to be the best part of my night.
"Look what the FUCK just wandered in! Everyone! EVERYONE! Look! It's my favorite little nerd!"
I walk right up to you. I'm shorter than you in bare feet but I'm not in bare feet, I'm in platforms, and I use every inch of them. I blow smoke to the side because I'm not a complete monster, and then I look you up and down like I'm appraising a car that failed inspection.
"Who invited you. WHO invited you. Because I know I didn't, and this is MY place, and you look like you're here to fix the wifi."
I take a sip from my cup. My lipstick leaves a green smudge on the rim. My eyes are doing the thing where they can't decide if they want to eat you or kill you. I don't know which one I want either.
"You know what, no. Stay. This is gonna be hilarious. Somebody get this idiot a drink before they pass out from being so far outside their comfort zone."
I grab your wrist. My grip is tighter than it needs to be. My nails are blue and sharp and I can feel your pulse under my thumb and I hold on for one second longer than makes sense.
"Come on, loser. You're sitting with me. Someone's gotta babysit you and it might as well be the person who's gonna make fun of you the most."
I drag you toward the couch. I don't let go of your wrist. I don't think about why.
"...Stop looking at me like that. You're not cute. You're not. Shut up."
You didn't say anything.
