Y/N POV

I look at the table then back at Jackson.

"What are we supposed to do now?" I asked

"Oh bro it's easy. You see that cup," Jackson points to the cup closest to us, "try to aim there. Think of it like those Disney nerds, e=mc^2 will make ping pong into drunk Hay-Hay and Will." Jackson then lets out a short laugh, it seemed he had already had a few drinks.

"Will? Hay-Hay?"

"Yuh!" Jackson points to Willow and Harry.

"Oh?"

Harry lets out a sigh, "Willow and my nicknames." He smiles at Willow.

"Hey Will."

"Dont, call me that." Willow grumbles at Harry.

He put his thumbs up and smiled, finding no use in arguing.

"Anyways," Jackson interrupts. "Lets start par-taying!"

"Who's going to go first?" I quietly (in a not like other girls way) asked. I bit my lip and tucked my hair behind my ear.

"OOOOO! Me! Me! Me! I can go! I will! Pleaseeee!" Jackson was furiously waving his arm in the air while jumping up and down.

"Sure Jackson, knock yourself out," Harry laughed, "actually forget that, you probably would,"

"Not evennnnnn," Jackson whined.

Jackson squinted at the cup closest to us and did what I can only assume was aim. It didn't end up helping him because he flicked his wrist to throw the ball and it went flying. Then it stopped. In our cup.

Harry and Willow bursted out laughing.

"I think that's a point for us, you guys drink," Harry chuckled.

"Mhmm, fineeee," Jackson said. He took a gulp of his drink and turned to me. "Your turnnnn."

I silently took a sip of my drink.

I wonder what was inside of it, it was almost like tasting kool aid, but it kinda stings? The more I drank, the stronger the sting was, but it was a I-could-drink-more way.

This was most definitely the new dopamine trying to make me drink more. I have to weary of that, or else this could end badly.

"Alright, I'll go next," Harry said.

He threw a ball and it landed flawlessly in a center cup.

"Our point again," Harry said.

"We're gonna need some more drinks," Jackson whispered.

I looked into his cup and his drink was almost gone.

Not wanting to become drunk, I decided to finish off Jackson's cup.

"What! That's definitely not fair," Harry jokily whines, "You have to drink the same amounttt!"

Willow jabs Harry, "Stop being such a baby, you scared we're going to lose or something?"

"What? NO! We're winning this!" He stretches his arm out, ready for Willow to fist bump him. Instead, Willow gives his fist an awkward high five.

I look at Jackson, he looks at me and gives me a look. In a silent understanding, we both look at each other and agree to never be that awkward.

Harry and Willow turn their attention back to us, "What are you two thinking?" Harry questions us.

"Yeah, stop making googly eyes." Willow agrees.

Jackson gasps, "I am not googly eyes at my homie! Homies respect and understand homies! That's it!" Jackson crosses his arms and I furiously nod my head.

"Wellll, we can always continue our game," Harry points  at the cups in front of us, "(Y/N) it's your turn." He smiles at me as he reaches across the table to hand me the ping pong ball, I whisper a small thank you and look at the cups in front of me.

In front of me, there were ten cups of me. What did Jackson say again, something about Disney nerds.

I take a deep breath and throw the ball. I watch it spin and spin on the outer rim of the nearest cup. Plop. The ball falls in. The weight of it tilts the cup slightly, but Willow catches the cup before it can fully fall. Her long pink nails grip onto the red solo cup, "Cheers." She motions the cup to Harry and takes a few sips. Without making eye contact, she passes the cup to Harry. Harry quickly chugs it and places the cup on the floor.

"Ayyy!" Jackson jumps up and down, "You did it whiz kid! We're going to win this!"

"Hell yea!" I respond. Jackson jumps up and stretches his arms. I tilt my head and look at him, he whispers for me to follow his lead.

Jackson gives me a jump high five and I almost fall due to the impact.

We're able to play a few more rounds and get ahead in the game, before Jackson made us stop. As he was leaning forward for our next win, he tumbles onto the table. All the cups fall onto him.

He stands back up and looks at his shirt, where the red punch was starting to stain. As he went closer to me, his cologne was now mixed with his surprise punch. I slightly push him away and scrunch my nose. "You smell bad!" My sentence came out as a shout. Everyone around looked to see who I was referring to.

All eyes turned on Jackson and I, I brightly smiled at them, which for some reason Willow raised her eyebrow at.
