Chapter 70 - Seventy : Caroline's Games

The vast?lush modern mansion built on a hill, stood proudly behind huge intimidating Iron gates which was swung open as soon as our car arrived.

At its courtyard, stood a monumental white marble fountain, expertly sculpted and graced with sea nymphs and regal lions adding impression of enchanted intrigue and classical beauty.

Expensive cars lined the drive to the mansion, it was obvious everyone here came to impress or show off their wealth.

Loud music were already blasting from speakers placed at strategic points while some students were already drinking from single use plastic cups by the time we arrived.

Heading up the walk to the mansion, Lia couldn't help but notice the way guys were drooling over her and some girls staring at her in awe and the others in pure green envy.

It seems as soon as she became a supernatural, she had this aura that began to attract people towards her though she couldn't tell if it was a good thing but sometimes it was quite exhausting when everyone wants to hang out with her.

She stepped into the area serving as the living room which shockingly was larger than her house put together.

The living room was used as the party ground, already decorated with balloons and coloured lights with students swaying their bodies to the music, some schmoozing and the others unsurprisingly making out on the couch, stairways and at secluded corners.

" No offense but between Caroline and you, who's richer?" Lia asked Ben as soon as she approached the large decorative buffet table.

"Probably Caroline " Said he, slowly munching a Buffalo Chicken Crescent Roll he grabbed from the table "She's a Garcia and they are one of the founding families of little Town " He explained and took another roll.

Lia nodded before asking " And you're not a member of the founding family? "

"Nah " He waved " We moved to little Town five years ago "

While Ben was busy chomping on the foods, Lia was more interested in the drinks and treated herself to a whole lot of it. She was eager to prove a theory tonight.

Would she get drunk upon her regenerative ability?

Ben frowned, watching how she gulped drinks upon drinks "Don't tell me you're testing a theory? "

"How did you know?" She asked surprised.

"You're not difficult to read besides without you bringing up it , I had planned testing if alcohol had an effect on you tonight, you know, for your safety and future purposes "

Lia sighed, sometimes she wondered if she should be wary of this guy. He could end up deceiving and trapping her in a secret lab for his fetish experiments one-day

" I'm good, just feel slightly buzz but still standing firmly on my feet " She explained.

"Fine, let's go dance. It would help clear your head " said Ben who grabbed and tugged her towards the makeshift dance floor where everyone was rocking, shaking their hairs and jumping to the music.

The curtain led and the nine colour led disco light added a lot of exciting and sexual ambience to the stage while the DJ slammed hits upon hits.

"Dance ! don't be a party popper !" Lia shouted since she couldn't hear herself above the music.

Ben who suggested going to the dance floor was suddenly stunned and shy when he discovered how intimate the dances had become.

"I can't do this " He shouted back and tried to leave but Lia was quick to grab him and keep him from escaping.

Lia groaned " Seriously ease up.This is a highschool party and you're here to have fun, so start swaying that body " She commanded and he obeyed reluctantly.

At first Ben was awkward but when she whispered "Relax " into his ears and grabbed the small of his back and pulled him closer, he began to dance to the tune of the music.

Truth be told, it was awkward for Lia as well but she covered it up perfectly. She never imagined her first ever invited highschool dance would be with a guy-friend and not her girlfriends but when she discovered the guy was cool with it, meh, she lost herself to the music.

The pair grind on the dance floor attracting the attention of the other kids and drawing a small crowd in around them.

By the time they were done, they were treated to a loud applause while Ben was heaving and red on the face.

"Thank you " Lia did a bow and basked in the glory as Ben scampered off the dance floor in a haste, embarrassed to the core.

"That was awesome, everyone absolutely love you " Someone chirped from behind when lia left the dance floor but she didn't need a prophet to tell her whom that voice belongs to.

"Caroline " She whirled around to face her, feigning surprise while Ben's ear quirked up.

"Why didn't you tell me you've arrived? " She chided her playfully.

"Sorry, I got carried away " Lia apologized halfheartedly, atlest that was half the truth.

" Apology accepted but you and your friend should come over to our tab..." She trailed off as soon as her eyes fell on Ben.

Yep, been there, done that.

"Wow " Caroline whistled, eyeing Ben " You clean up real good "

" Thank you? " came his answer which sounded more like a question.

There was this suspicious and confused gleam in his eyes.

Suddenly, Caroline hooked her arm around his and grabbed Lia's hand before dragging them to a section of the living room where a small crowd were gathered around a table full of booze and plastic cups.

"Hi guys " Alexa and Linda greeted in a chorus , waving their perfectly manicured fingers at them.

"Sit " Caroline ordered the both of them and they had no choice than to grab a chair and sit in a circle like the others.

"Welcome everybody to my house party and beginning now is what I call ' Survival of the fittest ' " Caroline stood making her speech evoking cheers and applause from the small crowd.

"I think this is the part where we should be leaving " Ben seated beside lia, whispered into her ears.

"Chill, nothing is going to happen " Lia tried to assure him but he wouldn't listen.

"My left eye is twitching which signifies danger "

Lia sighed deeply and shook her head " I can never understand you and for the record, we're staying " She said deceively.

"And to open the curtain , we are going to play the ' Never Have I Ever' game " Caroline said and there came another cheers from the crowd.

" But " she continued "To make the game entertaining, we're going to add a few alterations "

"Oh boy, here we go " Ben breathed, sinking back into his seat.

"How to play my game ? Simple : once a player asks a question, anyone who has done the activity mentioned in the ' Never have I ever.... " statement, loses a clothing while those who haven't done it gulps down a cup of booze "

Amid the cheers Lia stared at Ben with concern, would he be able to handle this? Maybe she should've listened to him in the first place.
