Just for fun

((Before New Year's - for Pyris))

Fatima had been finding it almost a little too easy to find parties to attend since she'd been on this island. She suspected it was because people were all letting off steam during the winter break. Still, after awhile they all seemed kind of similar. So this time she had gone to a high school party, instead of one of the rowdier college parties she usually wound up at. Not to say that this party wasn't still loud. But there was a little more interest in the snacks and chatting with people, instead of loads of sexual tension.

The party wasn't huge. There was some sort of inane pop music playing loudly, but not ear-burstingly so. There were some people dancing in a cleared-out space, but more people were clustered in small groups talking. There was a small table with various party foods and some cans of soda, which had more people hanging around out. And then there was the one or two people just standing around texting.

The young horseman was pretty much hanging around the snack table, nibbling on crackers and amusing herself by making a centipede out of cocktail weenies, while she looked around for someone interesting to talk to. She was actually a tiny bit bored of partying and hoped she'd find someone who had more ideas about entertaining things to do.

Suddenly her weenie-pede became too long and one of the cocktail weenies fell onto an open can of pop, knocking it over. Fatima backed up quickly and most of the dark liquid just spilt onto the floor, but some splashed onto her pale green shoes. She sighed and turned to ask the nearest person for some napkins.

"Um hey thanks stranger." Fatima took the napkins, backed away from the spill a bit, and slightly awkwardly bent over to wipe off the drink from her shoes. She had no problems touching her toes, but it still felt a little odd. When that was done, the redhead placed two napkins over the rest of the spill. There - that counted as cleaning right? She was not going to act like a maid at a party, and she was sure there were plenty of other messes that weren't her fault. She did take the half-empty pop can and napkins and toss them into a nearby trash, though. She wasn't a complete slob.

Mess taken care of, Fatima turned to look at the helpful boy. He looked - interesting. Kinda cute, in a way. Probably older than her. She was pretty sure she hadn't seen him before either. Then again, she was fairly new and hadn't met a lot of people. She looked down at the cocktail weenie centipede in her hand and blushed a little, embarrassed. "Oh! I was just... would you believe it's modern art? I just need..." She paused a moment, grabbed a paper plate, and arranged the weenies on it in a ring. "Ta da! It's the circle of life!" The young horseman laughed a little because this guy probably thought she was crazy now, but she didn't really care. "Actually I was bored. I've been to a little too many parties lately, and this isn't even one of the interesting ones. Was hoping someone would have an idea of something different to do for fun!"
