Juno On A Cross

Chapter 3

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.
