Harry: C’mon, it’s not that big a deal.
Alex: It’s-…
Harry: I won’t tell anyone, if that’s what you’re worried about.
Alex: You think that’s what I’m worried about?
Harry: Girl’s gossip-.. I dunno.
[Alex grimaced as she attempted to wriggle free once more, though Harry kept her pinned against him]
Alex: God-.. leave me alone!
[Alex’s blood ran cold as Harry’s grip loosened, a glazed look of confusion replacing his drunken charm]
Levi: I think no means no, dude…
[Harry blinked as soon as Levi approached, snapping back into himself jarringly]
Harry: I was leaving anyway, dickhead.
Levi: Yeah, yeah.
Alex: Thanks.
Levi: He’s just drunk, I wouldn’t-…
Alex: It’s fine.
[Levi squinted dubiously before re-joining the party, swiftly disappearing among a sea of blurred faces. Alex placed her sweaty palms against the cool window and forced herself to take a deep breath]
[She hadn’t meant to force Harry to leave her alone, she was just defending herself, wasn’t she? She hadn’t said anything bad, nothing that’d hurt him or anyone else, had she..? No, it was fine. Everything was-…]
Alex: What?
Bianca: I said boys are such cavemen, right?
Alex: Oh, I guess…
Bianca: Want another drink?
Alex: Uh-.. soon, I’ll be right back.
Bianca: ‘Kay.
…
[Robin mumbled in his stupor as Alex clambered over him, stifling a sneeze as she safely smushed herself between him and the ancient, musty sofa]
Alex: Are you drunk?
Robin: Maaybe.
Alex: So, I take it you’re not having a great time..?
Robin: Nu-uh.
Alex: Me neither.
Robin: Mmh-.. we could’ve done anything else…
