Thread: Look at Me [Dimitri x Plutonium]

With a towel wrapped around his waist and droplets of water tickling down from the tips of his hair, Mike stared at his closet and wondered about what to wear for the college party. Like Juliette, he wanted the chance to live another life, one that he isn't entirely used to. There was a constant conflict between going all out or toning down in terms of what to wear. It was either he wow-ed everyone including, hopefully, Juliette or he'd somehow blend in with her and perhaps the rest of the crowd. Juliette was right, she looked like the typical socially-isolated girl who didn't do parties and any other gatherings that involved the YOLO hashtags. As he eyed the clothes in his closet, Monday's conversation flashed in his mind. First, she threatened him about not going. She scolded him for what on earth he was trying to show and to prove but eventually, she said she'll sneak out and she'll be there. The thought made him smile, chuckle, and smirk at the same time. Thankfully, no homework was given that week meaning they didn't have to busy themselves with all that boring stuff. Needless to say, they barely spoke a word to one another throughout the week. On the other hand, word spread like wildfire. A lot of students obviously heard about Mike's invite to Juliette and how he'd only go to the biggest college house party of the year if Juliette would be his date. Once in a while, he'd notice how other students especially girls would murmur from afar while they eyed her a little too much. There was a small pang of guilt inside him for having to put her through this, but oh well, he figured. Everyone's going to have fun, at least. And he was sure he'd give her a night to remember. Somehow, there was still a tiny hope that she'd let him off the hook with the whole do your homework thing, but then again, they had a deal about it. Mike shook his head to erase those thoughts. Tonight was a night of fun times. In the end, he chose something pretty casual to wear. A white v-neck shirt that hugged his torso perfectly and clung on to him like second skin, a pair of denim black pants, and a pair of dark grey vans. He felt naked with what he wore because he was so used to heading out extravagantly but for now, he needed to blend in with the normal kids. Tonight, he was a normal kid. At that note, he gave Alex a call and told her to silence all media about the party. No one was to cover it, and no one was to say he was there. Mike craved for the chance to be normal, or at least, the closest to being normal as possible. --- Mike arrived Douglas' mansion-like house at half past 900pm. Almost in an instant, he was swarmed with fans again whom he generously entertained. He had small talks with almost everyone but he excused himself not too long after because, well, small talks were a little annoying and he was afraid his temper might get the best of him and everyone might witness something unnecessary. He couldn't see Douglas anywhere but he already saw a lot of drunk girls and boys, some girls even walking around with nothing but their underwears and tops on. The thought of Juliette in an oversized shirt and a pair of t-backs flashed in his mind which he instantly shook away. He must admit, that would be such a sight to see. Pouring himself a cup of ice-cold beer, Mike sat down on one of the benches near the pool and watched as the party happened before him. Everyone was having a great time and he even found himself slightly headbanging to the deafening beat coming from the speakers. His schoolmates were having a blast in the pool, some boys even fondling some girls' breasts under their bikini tops, and some were just chilling out with their own drinks. So this is what a normal party felt like. It was nice. He glanced around, hoping to spot his date. Sure, I skipped it to that already. I'm not really sure what you want to happen yet so I just wrote about basic stuff. I hope this response is fine
