Without a second thought she stepped forward. Maybe the event tonight wouldn't be bad after all since they didn't restrict drinking. Nora stared at the dark golden colour in the huge cup then let out a smile. She picked up the cup then took a mouthful. Everyone around stared intensely at her while gulping on their saliva.
The truth was that... Greg, famous senior student who was tagged as reckless yet got the brains and the looks was a walking disaster. Once, during a Halloween party, he had prepared a dish that made everyone who ate it throw up and ended up becoming sick. He once made a special secret smoothie recipe during an Inter-school Collab event that made passerby pinch their noses closed while passing when he was still a junior student.
Tonight wasn't an exception, he had mixed up all kind of beers he could lay his hands on and Nora was going to be a victim of his disaster. All eyes failed to blink with the fear they might miss a change after drinking Greg's recipe. Nora had gulped down more than half of the content then turned to look at the worried eyes around her. "What's wrong?" Nora asked confused. "Ouch... Is she the victim of the MOD? (Master Of Disaster)" Someone whispered from the group.
Nora ignored the whispers then got up to leave. As if expecting a change in her behavior,but nothing was different. She was the same as she came. No gagging, no throwing ups, no tummy ache or head ache. Was she immune to the MOD's crazy recipe. Greg stared at her stunned. "Do you feel any change?" Greg quickly asked worriedly. "Change?" Nora asked confused then smacked her tongue against her teeth. "Well maybe just a slight change on my taste bud. The drink has a weird taste. More like ginger and syrup mixed" Nora explained.
"Uhn? She's fine?" Someone asked surprised then walked up and took a sip from the cup. After confirming with his tongue that everything was fine, the rest stepped forward to the counter to have a sip. Then... something happened. Their vision went blurry, their heads light and fuzzy. Those who didn't take from the drink knew something was wrong.
MOD'S recipe wasn't a successful one, Nora was just someone who was immune to the drink. Her alcohol tolerance was so high that all the combo had no effect on her. While the commotion was going on as they debated on what had just happened. Nora turned around and left the area. Greg quietly stared at her in an awe as she left.
Somewhere outside the park. Finn sat I'm his car in total disbelief. He clearly couldn't believe himself coming for such event and now he was here anyways. Mr Martin had sent an invitation message along side the address so it was unnecessary to ask Nora for the address. He got out of his car, while trying to come with excuses to give if any of his colleagues asked in surprised about his rare appearance.
"Mr Damon" Someone called out from behind. Finn unconsciously flinched then turned around to see who had called out for him. "Mr Martin" Finn greeted. "Oh my goodness. I'm so surprised to see you here. Do I call myself lucky for seeing unexpected guest? Hahahaha" Mr Martin joked then laughed out heartedly. "C'mon, c'mon let's go inside and meet the rest of the lecturers. I'm sure they'd be so shocked to see you". Mr Martin added while leading the way.
...CHEERS...
"We didn't have an opportunity to celebrate your first coming into the university weeks ago Mr Damon. We could just do this as a welcome party then". A senior lecturer said while grinning ear to ear. Everyone hit their cups against themselves while gulping down their content. "What's wrong Mr Damon? You aren't drinking?" Mr Martin asked. "I'll prefer a glass of water instead". Finn requested
