Susan is one ordinary college girl who is facing troubles from each and every end: her academics are deteriorating; she cannot land a good internship; her current employment status is cringe worthy for her; and her love life is a disaster.

After being terribly dumped, Susan goes to a bar, for a night of fun and moving on, though that night changes her life and turns it upside down.

She gets too drunk, meets a man, blurts out a lot of her secrets and forgets about it the next day. That night and that man change everything in Susan’s life. Her life is completely tossed upside down as a result of a few drinks and a drunken conversation. She has no idea who that guy is or what is about to happen in her life. The story provides comedy and romance, both at the same time. The story covers various relationships: friendship, love, flings. The ups and downs of the story are heart breaking and the humor helps to balance out the lows.

Susan soon turns from an ordinary under graduate student to a very important person in the corporate industry, all thanks to a stroke of luck and a few drinks.

Chapter 1

Honestly, I was flustered after the recent events in my life. I had scored bad, really bad, on my management exam; my finance business proposal bombed badly; I had received rejection letter from 3 different companies, which belonged to 3 different industries; I hated the company where I had managed to get and internship at: and my love life collapsed right in my hands.

“You’re too dominating Susan. I CAN’T TAKE IT!”

And all I ever asked was that I wanted to decide where to eat. Apparently choosing the place for food was too dominating for Ethen and he chucked me. I was a total disaster: my love life was a mess; my academic life was crippling; and I hated my corporate life. I was so depressed, I was considering suicide as a possible option at the moment but there was something which was kind of satisfactory in all of this. I mean not that I was content with being dumped, I was relieved that Ethen wasn’t here or else I would’ve dumped all of my emotional drama on him and then he would’ve gone on and on and on about how I was frail at life and I needed to man up! Yes, he has asked me to “man up” a lot of times. I guess he has weak eyes for differentiating between sexes.

Soon my roommate, Alexis, came shimmying in my room holding, what could possibly be labeled as the shortest dress in the history of dresses, a dress in one hand and a bag of cosmetics in the other. She waved it all at me and started brushing her hair frantically.

“Get up! Get up! Get up! We’re getting late Sooz. Donna will kill us. She is already dressed and ready to go!”

I slouched in my bed.

“I don’t feel like going Alex. You guys go on without me.”

She frowned at me and shook her head.

“Oh no no no! You know our pact, when a sister gets dumped, we don’t let her drown herself in sorrow. As sisters it’s our job and duty to introduce our fellow, newly single, friend to the world of hot boys and infinite opportunities. Plus, Ethen was so annoying anyways. Never found him hot, or even attractive. Don’t know why you were with him. He’s a 5 and you’re a flat 9 out of 10! 9’s NEVER date anything less than an 8!”

I had always found Alexis’s rating funny, intriguing and true. Ethen was not a 5 though, he was somewhere a 6. He had blonde hair, broad build, was well educated, it’s just that he was a really mean and awful person which plunged his score card from 9 to a straight 6, or a 5. We had been together for a year and he couldn’t even dump face to face. I gathered myself, along with my feelings, and managed to get out of bed and get ready. I was still uncertain about the whole partying at the club thing since I am very vulnerable to alcohol. I just tagged along to respect the effort Alexis and Donna were making for me.

As we switched driveways and entered the fully crammed commercial zone, I could almost hear the loud music blasting out of the club’s building. I felt cringe nervousness inside me, I wasn’t ready for this. I was not ready to socialize with people, let alone get drunk with and party. I dragged myself out of the cab and put a fake smile on my face.

“Okay girls, smile. Smile but have some mystery to it. Do not fall flat for a guy. If he offers drinks, what do you do?” 

Donna asked, sounding very condescending.

“We turn it down and tell him we can buy ourselves a drink.”

Alexis and I chimed.

“Good. Smart girls”

Donna praised us for remembering what she had been repeating for the past 30 minutes. She was like an ultimate guide book for boys. She could tell who was worth wasting your time for and who wasn’t, and she had always told me that Ethen was a selfish, thankless, useless crap of a person who would dump me over a phone call and that’s pretty much my break up scenario.
