House Party

The next day, after biology class, Caroline was stopped by Alex in the hallway. "Hey Caroline" he said. "Hi Alex," said Caroline "by the way, thanks for taking me out to eat yesterday." "Not a problem," said Alex "hey I'm having a party at my place. You want to come?" Caroline thought about it and wasn't quite sure if she could go. "Well I don't know," she said "my parents might not let me." "Alright," said Alex "well let's forget what your parents say for a minute. Do you want to go?" "Well yes, I want to go" said Caroline. "Okay," said Alex "well some of your friends are coming. So just tell your parents that you wanna sleep over their house and then just come with them." "Okay," said Caroline "I'll try." At that moment, the bell rang for the next class, and Caroline started running to her next class. As she was running, Alex looked back at her. "Try not to bump into anybody this time" he said.

After school, Caroline found Jessica. "Hi Jessica" said Caroline. "Oh hi Caroline" said Jessica. At that moment, Caroline remembered the advice that Alex gave her. "Hey Jessica," she said "can I spend the night over your house on Friday?" "Well sure," said Jessica "my parents won't mind. Will yours?" "Of course not" said Caroline. "Hey," said Jessica "give me your phone so I can put my number in." Caroline gave Jessica her phone and Jessica put in her number. In the process, she also looked through Caroline phone contacts. "Oh cool," she said "you already have Naomi's, Michelle's, and Taylor's number in your phone." She kept looking and also saw Alex's number. "You know Alex Thomas?" she asked. "Yeah I know him," said Caroline "why?" "Just asking," said Jessica "being that his number is in your phone. I'm actually going to his party this weekend. When you sleep over, you want go with me?" "Yeah sure," said Caroline "that's actually the reason I want to spend the night. My parents wouldn't just let me go. I know them." "Alright then," said Jessica "see you on Friday." "Okay" said Caroline.

Soon after that, Friday came around, and Caroline was packing up her things to spend the night with Jessica after school. A couple of hours after Caroline came to Jessica's house, they made their way to Alex's house for the party. When they got there, they saw teenagers dancing all over the place, heard music blasting, and also saw alcohol and marijuana all over the place. At first, Caroline was scared, but then she realized that Jessica was next to her and Alex was somewhere in the house.

As they entered the house, they saw Alex talking to some friends and he noticed the two of them "Hey you two," he said "I'm glad you made it. Well enjoy yourselves and have a good time." A few minutes later, someone offered Caroline a shot of vodka. Being that she wanted to fit in, she ended drinking seven shots of vodka. Then later that night, another person had marijuana and encouraged her to smoke with him. So she did, and then a few minutes later, she fainted on a couch. She woke up about an hour later.

When she woke up, she saw Jessica running towards her screaming. "Caroline," she said "we gotta get out of here." Caroline was wide awake now and in a completely normal state of mind. "Why," asked Caroline "what's going on?" "The cops are pulling up here," said Jessica "we gotta sneak out the back." As soon as she said that, Caroline sprung up and her Jessica started running. Luckily, the police didn't notice them, and they were able to make it home.

When they got back to Jessica's house, they went straight into her room, changed into the pajamas, and tried to calm down. They eventually were able to do so and they started talking. "Jessica are you high or drunk right now?" asked Caroline. "Nope," said Jessica "I'm far to petrified to still be high or drunk? What about you?" "No," said Caroline "I slept mine off." They continued talking for hours about various things; music, movies, guys at school, and many other things. As they were talking, Jessica continuously moved closer to Caroline. Then suddenly, Jessica kissed Caroline's lips. When Jessica pulled away, Caroline stared at her with an extremely startled expression on her face. "Wait, you're a lesbian," Caroline asked "but I saw you making out with a guy at the dance." "Actually," Jessica said "I'm bi sexual. Is that okay with you?" "Yeah that's okay with me," said Caroline "well I'm going to bed. Goodnight." "Okay goodnight" said Jessica. With that, they each went to sleep.
