"Cheers!" Shouts my best friend.
I look at the glass in my hand, unsure.
"Come on Rosie," Savana says, "You need this more than anyone."
She's right. I need to get away. I need to forget. Even if it's only for one night. I cautiously take my first sip.
It tastes like rotten grape juice and burns the back of my throat, but I don't stop.
"Well," Savana says after a few minutes,"How do you feel?"
"Cloudy." Is all I can say.
"Then it's working."

A few cups later, we are on the floor, cracking up about something we heard on Glee last month.
Savana's laughter is cut short. I look up at her to see what's wrong only to find her transfixed by my lips. She's staring at me with lustful eyes. I can feel the sexual tension in the air.
That's when I noticed just how cloudy eveything was. I felt like there was a warning going off in my head but I couldn't figure out why.
"Hey Rosie? When was the last time you kissed someone?"
I knew that one! "Before I broke up with Billy."
"Really??? It's been that long?"
"I'm not a whore..."
She smiles at me "I know that. But don't you ever wanna practice?"
I did not know that one. "Erm...Idk?"
"How 'bout we practice right now?"
Again, my mind was blank. Not only did I not have an answer, I had NO idea what she was talking about. But she's my best friend, right? She would never steer me wrong, right? "Okay."
"Good girl. Now close your eyes."
I did what I was told. I am a good girl.
After a few seconds, I feel a warm sensation on my lips. It feels gooood. I start moving my lips to match the warmth, when it gets slippery. What is going on? I feel something push its way through my lips and start wrestling with my tongue. Weird.
Wait, why are my eyes closed? I open them. Huh? Wait, what the fuck am I doing?
As if my brain likes to screw me over at all the wrong times, everything suddenly becomes clear. Savana is fucking kissing me!!
My first thought is to pull away and slap that bitch for taking advantage of me. Shit, I can't do that to her. She's my best friend and is probably just as confused and wasted as I was 2 seconds ago.
I lightly pull away, with my best 'cloudy' face on. "That's our secret" I say in a dreamy voice "I'm sleepy."
I walk over to her couch and sleep, hoping neither of us will remember this in the morning.
