Beatrice, Gladys and I were going for a house party for the first time in our entire year of college. Apparently Dave invited us, and judging from the looks of things, Dave liked Beatrice although he couldn't come direct perhaps because of how strict our little circle was. No guy was allowed and we were bent on keeping it that way till after college because we didn't want no boys problem, we had a degree to acquire and doing our best to graduate with good grades was our top priority so we saw the boys as distractions.
The invite to the house party came as a shock to all three of us, actually, Dave came to our little study group after our first lecture to hand us the invitation card. He wasn't so sure we would come but he just had to try.
7:15 PM we were all dressed for the party and at exactly 7:30, our ride dropped us off at Dave's doorstep. At the time we got there the party had already begun with loud music and echoes of noises from inside. Gladys knocked on the door, and a pretty lady who we all believed to be Dave's sister ushered us all in with a warm smile.
Hi there Beat.!, I see mama let you out here tonight... said Gloria, the girl almost the entire school disliked but she had nothing on us cause we knew too well to ignore her but she was always bent on getting on our nerves, especially on Beatrice.
Don't mind her, Dave responded from behind. I'm glad you all made it and I'm so happy to you guys here, please, have a drink. We all grabbed a glass of wine and made our way to a safe corner where we could talk and hear ourselves because the music was a little too loud.
Few minutes later the music was changed and everyone looked around and grabbed their dancing partners to the dance floor, oh except us, we weren't there for all of that. Little did we know Dave was already walking towards our direction, with his hands held out, he politely asked Beatrice to a dance, she wanted to object but we signalled her that it was okay to try.
Little miss Gloria watching the whole scene at close range rushed over to grab Dave's hands and in the process pushed Beatrice to the ground where she bumped into the waitress serving at the party. Her dress got ruined, we had to rush Beatrice to the bathroom to wash up.
The damage on her dress was a lot and the wine didn't come off so easily with just water, so we had to urge her to use the soap and try to clean up the mess.
It eventually came off but partially as one could still trace the damage that was done to her dress. Coming out of the bathroom, Gladys, Beatrice and I signalled Dave that we would be heading home as we weren't even welcomed in the first place, but Dave apologised and promised that he didn't mean for all of that to happened tonight but we had already made up our mind to leave as we booked a ride prior to when we were leaving. And that's how we left Dave's house party and never to speak of that day ever again.
