Raven-Haired Mess (Open)

[Jade Parrish]

Jade would have asked one of her roommates to come out with her, but she was beginning to think she just needed a night out on her own to meet whoever she met, drink whatever she wanted to and dance to sweat it all out. Normally she went to the newspaper office on a friday night. She had a lot to do as the next semester approached, but tonight she didn't. It was time for a change. Kristina was at work when she left and Brooke was glued to her gaming console and so it was easy to slip out in a dark blue, almost purple dress, her black hair free falling past her shoulders.

The newest teenage club was in the downtown and Jade was still underage, which annoyed her, since she had the maturity well above anybody her age. But after everything with Kai and calling the ambulance bringing up old issues and then Oliver going back to the UK, she was slightly bitter.

And so here she was at the Atmosphere, just as the night was starting to kick off. She may have had some drinks before she'd left and was dancing by herself in a crowd and she honestly didn't care.

Whenever Rya went out, she went alone; there was the occasional time that she would allow somebody to tag along if only to have a good time, but the more people she had that she knew, she found, the less her little game's worked. It also gave her the opportunity to meet new people, glance at new faces, and just generally have a good time.

Tonight was one of those night's.

The girl had just finished shopping for the bathroom decorations, and she then decided it was a time to take a rest on all the redecorating before her mum had arrived and just take a night for herself.

She had gotten word of Atmosphere a few months prior, and knew when the club nights were. It was a pretty damn interesting place, truth be told, and the music was very much lively. She had gotten there a little into the night, very keen on the idea of staying, dancing to the music as if she didn't care - she never did. Guy from guy, girl from girl, she danced. Laughing and flirting. However, when she reached another blue-eyed beauty did she slow down her pace.

"Alone?" The Brit asked over the roar of the crowd and the music. She wasn't dancing with anyone, nor was she making an effort to dance with anyone.

[Jade Parrish]

Jade was enjoying dancing on her own, feeling the music in her bones, her body feeling like it was vibrating from all of the music. She felt alive, and the beads of sweat on her forehead only made her flip her hair back. She couldn't be bothered with much of anyone, mostly because she was annoyed at Oliver's sudden ditching of the country and her, although she knew ditching wasn't the riht word. She was just bitter that she'd lifted her no dating policy for him when nothing came of it. Damn, she finally thought someone could handle her.

So far, nobody had dared to get near her, which didn't mind Jade. She did look like she was in her own world, which she was. A dark haired girl had ended up near her in the crowd and was trying to talk to her over the music and people all around them. "Completely!" she answered, raising her voice as much as she could over the music. Sure, she was tiny, but she could yell. And nobody tried to mess with her, usually.

Just after she'd answered, the music bled into another song, one she was shocked to be hearing, one of her favorite bands. It was like someone with good taste came busting in and requested a good song and it wasn't her.

Eagle eye, feather light. Razor sharp just like a knife... She'd danced to this song in her chair at the newspaper office many times before, but this was different. She could so easily lose herself in the guitar and bass. Not to mention the sexy lyrics.
