The party had already started off as a late night chaotic mess of fun and teenagers having a good time. In the messy, loud crowd of students and college kids, she was able to find Claire resting on a couch with Steve. The two were drinking in red party cups filled with something. "Juno!! Oh my gosh I'm so happy you got here on time. Where's Billy? Did he drop you off?" She sounded like an air-headed balloon wearing a big bright smile. "He's not my date. I think he went outside in the garden to make a keg-stand. What are you two up to?" She sat down next to her light-headed friend. "Me and Steve are just relaxing and having a good time. You wanna go dancing?" All of a sudden Claire chugged the party cup of liquid down her throat, then had taken Juno's hand. "I don't.. Really dance. You and Steve should go. I'll dance later." The girl with the fluffiest red hair gave a nod. She and Steve went to go drink some more and start to dance to Girls On Film which was playing in the background. The loud groovy music only made Juno look awkward. She was the only one not talking to anyone.
This wouldn't last long since her eyes met with Zack's. "Are you.. Dressed as a kid?" He asked with a grin, taking a seat next to her on the soft-flowered decorated couch. "I'm the Rabbit from Alice In Wonderland. I didn't want to dress up as a hooker or a pretty chick. What the hell are you dressed up as? A grease ball of shit?" She teased him as she tried to touch his hair. What he was wearing which was a t-shirt tucked into black jeans with a black belt, and black penny loafers with white or black socks. Zack's hair is done up in an DA (ducks ass) - a popular greaser's style of the 1950s. "Don't touch your hair! I'm dressed up as yours truly.. Danny Zuko from Grease. You know the musical." It all made sense, but Juno couldn't see Zack as him. "You picked someone who had snot in their hair. Such a fun choice." She gave a slight laugh then looked away with a grin. His hand slid against his hair on the sides trying to get his hair in place. "It makes my hair look good. I think. I was going to cut it next week so that it'll look more prepared for the basketball team." All of a sudden, Juno responded with a nod in agreement. "Shouldn't you be dancing with the beautiful girls here?" She asked as she noticed his arm wrap around her shoulder. This felt a bit weird for her, but she thought it was more friendly rather than romantic. "I think I'd rather hang out with you. Did you want to dance?" Just before she was about to answer him, his friend Jason sat right between them. His arms went around both of them with a cheeky grin. "The grease ball and... rabbit? Juno, why didn't you dress like a playboy or something?" He complained, which only made Juno move his arm away. "As I tried to ignore your question.. What or who are you dressed as?" She tilted her head slightly trying to figure out who Jason was. "Leatherface of course- Hold on let me get the mask on." His playful grin disappeared when he had put on the mask which looked like it was really made out of Leather. Leatherface is a mentally challenged serial killer. He is not very methodical with his murders, rather going through with them loudly and messy. You could say Jason fits the character quite well in a way that makes him look disturbing. However, his personality was being a big-headed wannabe hot guy, so it didn't suit him. He had a chaotic, evil laugh which made Juno and Zack look at each other with confusion. "Yeah man.. I know you're trying to look like you are horrific but you end up seeming like you have never showered." Zack hinted with a tasteful and handsome grin. Thankfully he was only joking in a humble and kind-manner way. Zack was really a quirky but well minded person, even so, he was still a Jock which meant he had standards he had to stay by and follow.
"You two are such jerks. I think the ladies dig it." Jason said as he had taken it off. Juno looked around in a funny way. "Where are these ladies then?" She asked as she had a smug smile on her face. This made Jason get up from the couch and walk away in a huff. "I should probably follow him. I don't know what kind of mess he'll get up to. I'll catch you later." He nudged her arm as if he was hunting something. As he went to walk with Jason, Juno went quiet as if she didn't know what to do at parties. She couldn't drink or smoke or even dance. This party was making her feel left out, but this didn't worry or concern her. In her head she was thinking about dancing, but when she got up and went into the party's living space, Claire was twirling around like a drunk idiot. Steve was, of course, was grooving to his heart's content. This made Juno walk around and actually end up talking with Tina. She was dressed up as one of those sexy nurses. The two were getting along but this was only because Juno listened to her Vent about random things. Those random things were mainly how she had to know how to flirt, having to be pretty consistent and even sucking a dick to be liked. Of course, Tina was slightly drunk, but she seemed to enjoy someone listening to her. They sat on a window sill, looking outside, which was her backyard. The window was covered in fairy lights which were Christmas themed. It had all the colours in a bright tone. Mixed feelings rushed through Juno's body as she kept listening to Tina go deeper into some personal matter of her own.
"Thank goodness you came to this party. Juno.. I am lucky to have a friend like you. Fuck I'm such a horrible person." She dropped the cup of alcohol in the sink then covered her ears as if she was ashamed of listening to her own voice. In a comforting way, Juno had taken her hands with a smile. "You're not really a horrible person. I think you're not that bad. You have a better costume than me and everyone likes you." A smile appeared on Tina's drunk-lost face. "Hell yeah everyone likes me! They should all.. *hic* bow down to me." Her words made the two laugh. They ended up talking for nearly two whole hours. It was now nine and now everyone was starting to get wild. People were jumping around or getting high in the bathrooms. As Tina got up to go get some more alcohol, Juno had looked out the window to see Billy doing a keg stand with the whole crowd yelling and cheering him on. The students seemed to be only using Billy as a form of entertainment rather than partying with him. He spat out some left over foam then took a huff out of his cigarette, which Jason had handed to him. This made Juno roll her eyes and look away. "Such a show off," She whispered to herself. Instead of sitting there the whole time, she finally got up to go find Claire. When she walked through the kitchen, then into the living room, she noticed Tina dancing with Claire and Carol in the living room. Juno gave a sigh then turned around, however ended up bumping into someone.
A Jack Torrance. The guy looked like one of the college students roaming around here due to his height and even the way he looked. short, black fluffy hair, pale white skin, dry cherry lips, and looked a bit like a skinny twig. Then it clicked. The guy who was standing right in front of her, now trying to ask if she was alright, was the father of her child. His hand rested on her shoulder, with a heart-warm smile. "Juno, are you alright? You sort of bumped into me. It would be a disgrace if I hurt you in any way." This made her shrug, trying to avoid his eye contact. She can't be seen with a guy who she fucked one night, then left because she was bored. "I'm fine. It was only a bump." The loud music made her feel nervous as he was trying to be so nice to her.
The thought of guilt of her wanting to keep the baby but not tell him anything was digging at her. Like a dog begging for food in a cage. What was she supposed to say? What was she supposed to do? The night in which they had sexual intercourse was always roaming inside her head. It was a good memory which felt like a dream. "Hey, since you're here.. I wanted to know why you left without a word. You remember that night when we-'' All of a sudden Juno responded with a sharp nod. "It was fine. It was my first time so I thought it was good." She softly bit at one of her nails, which was her left thumb. It was annoying how she felt something towards this guy. Not really romantic, but more sexual. "Well, I wouldn't want you to feel uncomfortable about it. I mean I think having a sexual moment like that was more.. Romantic. Don't you think so?" Hearing him say that only made Juno give a corny smile. She didn't even know what kind of girl she was and she had this guy who she fucked once confronting her about what they did was romantic. They barely know each other. "I don't know about that. We fucked once, then never talked again. It was just a one-time thing." The touch of his cold right hand touched her shoulder once again. "I think you're seeing us in a bad way. In my opinion, I find that, since life is so short, it has made us come together to start something romantically and sexually." She tried to walk back, however the wall and drawers filled with, but most likely, plates were behind her. If people paid attention to them, he would seem very intimidating, however Juno only found him attractive. A careful whisper came out of her mouth. "Here's the thing.. I don't find people romantically attractive. I could never force myself to fall in love with you or anyone else because that's not how I seem to function." He leaned close to her face as his hand had moved against the wall.
Meanwhile, during this time, Billy had come inside through the backdoor. His eyes looked over at the window because he expected Juno to be sitting there still. He had his cigarette in his right finger as the gang outside was cheering and trying to follow behind him. It was as if he was being worshipped as some sort of god. Actually, he technically was definitely a king now. The new King of Hawkins. As everyone was dancing and banging their heads like the crazy teenagers they were, Billy had wiped his mouth with some toilet paper which was hanging from a ceiling light. Those cold eyes shifted onto someone. His footsteps were quite loud as he shoved a few teenagers out of his way to try and walk up to Juno and the college student. However, he was unfortunately interrupted by Jason and Zack, who seemed pumped and quite drunk. "B I L L Y! Billy Hargrove, the new King of Hawkins! Come on! Steve is right over here. Let's go!" Jason and Zack shifted Billy in a different direction. Despite that, this only made him pissed off, as he was deep in thought about why a college prick was talking to Juno. Steve was on the dance floor with Claire, Tina, and Carol. "Seems like we have a new keg King, Harrington," Jason said, with a wicked smile on his face. Steve pulled down his sunglasses then took a good look at Billy. He could tell something was up with him. The new king didn't seem to be worried about Steve or concerned about him. Those cold eyes were looking for someone else. Zack and Jason started to groove with the girls but Steve had pulled Billy aside. Away from the crowd.
