It's been a while since I've tried to write something, so this should be a good refresher.
Emily watched the clock as it ticket past 5:30 PM. She took another sip of her glass of Coke before putting it on the table beside her. She was alone in her house, save for her older brother who had retreated to his upstairs bedroom. Seeing as this was her 17th birthday, she had decided to keep it simple and only invite a couple of her friends, having had her share of large parties last year.
Emily kept in shape by doing gymnastics, which gave her an excellent figure that most people noticed. During her Sweet 16 last year, she had wore a frilly pink dress and done her hair up perfectly, trying to be a gorgeous princess. This year, she had opted to go simpler, and instead wore a royal blue dress that went halfway down her thighs. While she had curled her hair, she left it hanging down and around her shoulders without much thought. She had also shaved her legs for tonight in case they ended up inviting any boys over, and loved the way the fresh air felt against her soft, smooth skin.
It was quarter to six before she heard the first doorbell ring. She went to answer the door and was greeted by her school friend Katherine. Katherine was a Chinese girl that was slightly shorter than Emily, who had really only been called cute by a handful of people. She had on a dark purple dress that came to just above her knees, and a huge smile because she was always happy to see her friend. Emily let her inside, where they went to the same couch to talk about school.
These two didn't talk about boys that much, because they both had the same problem. They were both in advanced classes, which put them in with a lot of the smart, shy kids. While this looked good for post-secondary applications, it didn't really help their dating lives. All of the guys who would usually ask them out were too intimidated by their intelligence, and the ones that could match it were too shy to ask them out. They both realized this, and both accepted it. It's not like there's too much they could do about it after all.
The doorbell rang again a second time, and this time it was Emily's two friends from gymnastics, Carly and Jenny. They were best friends before they met Emily, and did almost everything together. Tonight they had apparently coordinated outfits, wearing matching black and red sleeveless dresses that came halfway down the thigh, like Emily's. They both had their hair up in high ponytails, making them look identical in almost every way. People had often called them twins, and tonight they looked the part. Emily let them in, and they joined Katherine on the couch. The party could now start.
(Note: I haven't bothered to put in any dialogue since this was just character introduction. Hopefully you have an understanding of what everyone looks like, so I'll start doing this properly.)
Carly was the first one to break the silence. "So, what are we doing tonight?" She shifted on the couch so she could look directly at Emily. Everyone else did the same.
"Uhh..." Emily started, not quite sure how to answer. "I dunno, I guess I didn't think that far ahead." She glanced at her laptop. "Perhaps the internet has some ideas."
The other three girls nodded, and Emily opened up her laptop. She decided to start simple and search up basic party games. After looking through some of the basic ones like "Truth or Dare" and whatnot, they came to one they found interesting. It was a simple game, pop the most balloons in a certain amount of time. Trying to pop balloons while under a time limit sounded fun.
"What if," Jenny added in, "we had to do it blindfolded."
The girls nodded and laughed a bit. This would be a perfect way to kill a bit of time. It was at that moment that Emily's older brother, Jeremy, came downstairs. Jeremy, in his senior year at high school, was captain of his lacrosse team. With him and his sister both being in competitive sports, they rarely competed with each other, and got along alright. Since tonight was his free night, he was dressed simply in a red plaid shirt and blue jeans.
Jeremy looked at the group his sister had collected. "Hey there, what're you guys doing?"
Emily was the one to answer her brother. "We were gonna try a version of this party game we found online."
She told Jeremy about the game, and about their slight twist. "That seems pretty amusing. But," he added, "what if in addition to being blindfolded, you couldn't talk or use your hands?"
The girls hesitated for a second, but decided that tonight they would just have fun. They all agreed to Jeremy's idea, and he smiled. His sister knew about his love for tying girls, and he knew that she knew. But he also knew that in the spirit of the game, Emily wouldn't tell anyone, and he was right. No reason to ruin the fun right now.
"Alrighty then," Jeremy started, "Just in case, you should probably change into something you can move around in a bit more." He started going back upstairs. "I'll get you guys a few things."
As soon as he disappeared, Emily turned back to her friends. "I have an idea. Follow me."
When Jeremy came back downstairs, he saw that his sister and her friends had changed. They had all changed in leotards from Emily's collection, each one matching the color of their dresses. Carly and Jenny had on black and red tights to mirror each other, Katherine had on yellow tights and Emily was wearing skin colored tights. They posed wedding picture style, standing in a line, one foot out and pointed. Jeremy chuckled under his breath; this was certainly going to be an interesting night.
(Will post the actual TUG in the next part, within the next day or so)
