At the drink table, Molly bit her lip and looked at all the different drinks thoughtfully. Maybe she should go for the punch this time. It looked nice and pink, maybe it wouldn't be that bad. The only problem was Molly didn't know at all what it would taste like, let alone how much alcohol it had. Maybe it was too risky.
[color=7bcdc8]"Hey Molly."[/color]
Hearing a voice call her name, Molly twirled around. A beautiful girl with a bleach blonde hair that Molly vaguely recognised to be one of her school's students and also a guest at the beach house was approaching her. Wiping her confusion away with a bright smile, Molly greeted the girl back. What was her name again...
[color=#adff9f]"Hi! Uh..."[/color] Molly trailed off, blushing at her own awkwardness when she realised she wasn't sure of the girl's name. It was some animal... A bird, maybe? Yeah, that's it, now Molly remembered: [color=#adff9f]"Raven, right?"[/color] Raven Carter, that girl Molly had had the same geometry class with. They hadn't sat next to each other, but Molly did remember checking her out back then. Whoops.
In any case, Molly and Raven had barely interacted back in school or the past week so Molly excused her having to dig around her head to remember the girl's name. It didn't make her feel any less embarrassed, though. She didn't want to come off as vain or even worse, disinterested.
[color=7bcdc8]"You doin' okay?"[/color] Raven asked, apparently noticing something off in Molly's expression or body language. Taken aback by the question, Molly's eyebrows rose in surprise. Something was bothering her, indeed, but she hadn't noticed she was being so obvious about it. Or maybe Raven asked just to be nice and hadn't actually noticed anything.
[color=#adff9f]"Sure! I was just... Trying to decide what to drink. So many options,"[/color] Molly assured with a light laughter. Then Molly began to rethink her words. [color=#adff9f]"Or well... actually, I've never been a fan of big parties like this. I have a hard time gettin' started,"[/color] Molly added sheepishly, not sure why she was revealing this to a person who knew her on first name basis at best. [color=#adff9f]"I mean sure, they can be fun, but not just with alcohol as your company, y'know?"[/color] Molly said, accompanied with an airy hand motion, already aware she was probably talking too much. She laughed it off with her cheeks flushing slightly.
[color=#adff9f]"So anyway, what about you? Any plans for the night?"[/color] Molly bounced the question back, not wanting to end talking to Raven. Then she realised the question sounded very suggestive because of the way she worded it and what she had said before about company. Fuck. [color=#adff9f]"I- I mean, I didn't mean like... Uh, sorry, blahhh..."[/color] Molly corrected before Raven could answer, her hands fidgeting randomly, [color=#adff9f]"I meant it like... How are you??"[/color] If Molly wasn't red before, she was now. She still flashed a bright smile, though, hoping Raven would find her talkativeness more endearing than weird.
This was Molly's only chance at getting to know some people she had always wanted to get to know, and Raven was definitely one of the people that intrigued Molly. It was a shame she was mucking things up by being awkward... Someone might find her social yet word-wise clumsy personality adorable, but Molly certainly didn't see it that way. Living in the closet was hell... And Raven probably only knew her as that one popular girl from school that had had many boyfriends. Great. Fantastic.
