it's my party and i'll cry if i want to...
Who: Kozue and ~~the adoring public~~ You
What: Festivities
Where: Bar Kidnap
When: July 21
Why: Because of presents and alcohol.

True to her word, Kozue had established herself in the VIP area of Bar Kidnap—still pretending to be blissfully unaware of the frightening or ominous implications of the name. She hadn't gone to much (or any) trouble to prove that this was a birthday party, however; she was dressed up, in an outfit a bit scantier than her normal going-out attire. She was sporting a green, sequin-covered minidress and a pair of heels of a ridiculous height. And her hair was even more carefully arranged than normal.

The VIP area was situated on a balcony, overlooking the rest of the club; from there, Kozue was engaged in chatting amicably with one of the older girls from the tennis club, but her attention kept drifting to the entrance downstairs. More people should show up. There weren't nearly enough for the party to be genuinely successful. So, every few moments, she cast a nervous glance downstairs.

The club itself wasn't all that packed; it was a weeknight, after all, and if any of the actual grown-up patrons noticed the steady stream of highschoolers, they weren't making a fuss. And the bouncers had either been bribed very efficiently, or were under instructions not to care, either.

Nope!

Actually, she had processed it, but she chose to ignore its implications, because thinking deeply (or wholly or productively) was difficult at just this moment. "I'm sorry, senpai?" Kozue was just confused now. She expected awkwardness and distance from Tom, but genuine vitriol was something new. "Then you're not having a good time at all, I guess." She frowned, and tried to think of something to follow that with. But she was at a loss.

	Tom put a hand ot his head. Kondo was beginning to irritate him. "No I'm not having a good time. Because you keep annoying m with you're talk. Why don't you just leave me alone?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Geeeze," Kozue said, shaking her head. "Because it's my party and I'm pretty sure you didn't come for the open bar because it's not actually an open bar, and we're friends," she explained, somewhere between exasperated and confused. Maybe Tom was a surly drunk? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tom shook his head. "We aren't friends Kondo. The only reason I've hung around you is because you're the easiest girl in school. And you haven't put out at all. So I see no reason to waste anymore time with you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"W-what." Kozue's face froze. She wobbled, slightly, on the shoes that had really been a bad idea after all. If her hands had had something to clench, she'd have been holding onto it with a death-grip. "What do you mean…" She trailed off, because even in her inebriated state, she knew exactly what he meant.

Tom scowled.

"I mean you're just some dumb slut. I've put up with you and gotten nothing from it. Which makes you worhtless. The only reason anyone pays attention to you is for a good fuck and obviously that's not worth it either right?

Do you honestly think any of the people here care about you for anything other then what you can give them? A warm body or a reputation boost. That's all you are to them. And after a while, you won't even be that.

Go get drunk with someone else Kondo. I'm done talking to you."

Why didn't being drunk ever protect you from hearing the really nasty stuff?

Because by now, Kozue felt entirely too sober and entirely too capable of listening and understanding. Her face was flushing even as he spoke, so that by the time he'd finished she was bright red. And of all the stupid things—no way she was actually crying over… but other party guests were turning around to look at this, now, and the knowledge that people had heard all of it made the shame and hurt even worse. "W-well, fine! I'm done with you, then!" Her voice shook. People were staring. Dumb slut, right.

She had meant to stomp off, but when she turned and met the face of one of her classmates who was watching, mouth slightly agape, it proved too much, and Kozue made a running break for the nearest door.

Renju still had no idea what to do at parties.

She wasn't really dressed any differently from her usual (dress slacks and a cardigan, with smart shoes); the only real difference was the small present tucked under her arm and the slightly nervous look on her face. The noise and activity were making her even more uncomfortable than she'd been at Kiriko's, and she resolved once again to make her presence known, drop off the gift, and hurry back to the dorms.

Doubly so when she saw Tom's familiar silhouette not that far away--and why was Kozue running past her, crying? There was some kind of scene that she'd apparently come in on the tail end of. "Kondo-san?" she called, but Kozue was too far to hear her over the noise by now. What had that been all about?

A smile slid across Tom's face as kozue ran off.

"Oh... was it something I said?"

He began ticking off the people in his head, the ones he needed to drive off to be safe. Satou was done, and now Kondo. He'd wished Ito, Hayashi, and Murata were here, they wrapped up the bunch.

Well there was *one* other, and thankfully she had just arrived.

Tom walked up to Renju, and gave her the most sincere look possible. The same look he had given her two nights before.

"You were right. We can't continue on with something like this between us."

He paused for a moment, and let out a breath.

"I hope I never see you again."

And with that he walked out of the club.

In his way was Ikeda the one-woman obstacle course. Her irritated face looked no softer but perhaps a bit more suspicious now that she was faintly drunk, though she did have the mind to slam her drink down on a nearby table before barring his exit. It would let everyone know she meant business.

"You know, I heard that." Her brows shot up. "You're so much more pathetic than I thought. Even if you were right about her? She wouldn't touch you, because she's got, you know. Standards."

She flashed a glare and stood aside, pointed nails flashing as she waved him towards the door.

"Honestly? You should be happy she felt sorry enough for you to give you an invite. It's sad how desperate you are for a pity fuck, but since you know you're not even worth one now, I guess you should just go."

Tom raised an eyebrow. Kiriko was someone who hated him already of that there was no question. Also finding out that this made her dislike him even more counted as bonus points.

But he felt he needed to drive the point home. After all, he didn't need to quit the team if she kicked him off. Maybe he could get her to slap him. He crossed his arms, and a grin tugged at the corner of his mouth.

"Oh look, frigid bitch to the rescue!

So do you defend her when Shirai calls her a whore or stay quiet, hoping for a bit of a pity fuck yourself?"

There was a time when Kiriko had jumped at the mention of Shirai, Maybe she might do so again.

She caught the grin. It gave her pause. She teetered in her silver pumps as she straightened back up to full height, measuring his words with a look of exquisite skepticism. When she spoke, she did so nothing short of factually.

"... I don't know if you've taken a good look at me recently, but I am clearly not even close to the 'pity fuck' category."

As if back from speaking an aside, her smile snapped neatly back into place, a lilt returning to her voice.

"Anyway, you can go shave your back now."

With that, she picked her drink up and brushed past him, heading outside to find her friend.
