Chapter 21

The night of the party at Jaiden’s house,Anderson dressed me in a long-sleeved pin-striped shirt with black leather pants that were a bit snug.When I complained about this,he ignored me.

As for my roommate,his shirt was shimmery and pants just as shiny.The guy he’d met when we’d gone clothes shopping—Albert—was at our apartment a lot,and he would be coming to the party tonight.He was dressed similarly to Anderson,and he wore eyeliner,which Anderson demanded he wore as well.Whatever was going on with the two men,they seemed to be having fun.

I was nervous when we arrived at Jaiden’s home using Lyft.The house was a two-story deal and it had shutters on the upstairs windows.I’d love to see it in daylight.It appeared huge to me,compared to my modest apartment.

The music and voices coming from inside were overwhelming,but then,I didn’t get invited to things like this,unless it was an office party of some sort.And I’d like to put the Wookie incident behind me,thank you very much.
