While this was happening, Kimmie was in the middle of her own good time as she had met some bitchin’ girls in the bathroom line and, using all the skills she had learned from her competitive ice dancing days, stuffed down her emotions, put on her game face, and decided to get into character. Performance was all about commitment, and tonight she was committed to acting exactly like what she appeared to be—the third hottest sophomore on this year’s Hot List. And clearly it worked because she was noticed and a gaggle of other hot girls asked if she was holding. She nodded yes and said she was happy to share. And just like that, there were four pairs of designer heels standing around a dirty bathroom stall passing around a vial of cocaine. The trio were juniors at Nightingale and thanks to them, Kimmie had made a full recovery from her earlier rejection by Vronsky on the dance floor.

When the girls found out that she was Lolly’s little sister, the same Lolly who was the boyfriend of Steven K., the girls were supes impressed. Only one of them out of the whole group had scored an invite to Steven’s New Year’s party this past year, so she and Kimmie took turns telling the other two all about it. Now completely zooted, Kimmie told them about her first time doing Molly when she ended up in Steven’s mom’s bathtub. Everyone screamed in delight over her story, and eventually the four girls hit the dance floor.

Kimmie realized she had been wrong about dancing in an all-female pack. It was way more fun than dancing with a boy because you were free to just rock out to the music without caring if you had never heard of the song before or if your hair was stuck in your lip gloss. They soon got into a pattern where they’d dance for five songs in a row, and then they’d march back to the ladies’ room handicap stall.

When Kimmie next checked her phone, it was past three in the morning and she couldn’t believe it. She decided she needed to go check in with her sister, and the vial was empty so her new friends started murmuring that it was time for them to head out. (Blow is better shared, while the come-down is best suffered through alone.) Kimmie found Lolly sitting at the main bar, posting a few pics from the night on her Instagram. The two of them hugged when they saw each other and even took a rare sister selfie, and then laughed, knowing their newfound sibling affection was absolutely the result of drugs.
