"Like this," JJ said to Evangeline, holding the beer can to his mouth and chugging the cold liquid as quickly as possible. He crumpled the can in his hands and threw it to the side. "See? Easy enough. Your turn." JJ said, grabbing another can out of the cooler and handing the girl one.
"I don't know, JJ. What if I puke or something?" Evangeline questioned.
"You won't!" JJ exclaimed. "John B, tell her that she won't throw up."
"I don't know, Eva... JJ has a history of encouraging people to chug beers then getting them to throw up." John B said.
"Hey! I do not!" JJ interjected. "It was one time, and it was because John B can't handle his alcohol."
"I can now," John B said. "I was fourteen, JJ."
"Bro, that was a year ago." JJ told him.
"Regardless, I don't care. I was fourteen. I'm fifteen now, so that's definitely a big difference." John B said to the group.
"Come on, John B. Get a grip!" Kie exclaimed. "Just face the fact that you puked your guts out."
"You weren't even there, Kie!" John B exclaimed.
"So?" was Kie's response. "I've heard stories."
"Forget John B," JJ said. "Come on, E. Just chug it. You'll be fine, I swear."
"If you're swearing right now and I end up throwing up, I'm murdering you." Evangeline threatened.
"Okay, okay!" JJ held his hands up in defense. "I get it."
Evangeline had gone on a walk on the beach that day and had seen the Pogues. JJ invited her back to his house to drink with him and the rest of the Pogues because his dad was gone for the weekend. Evangeline gladly accepted, needing something to do that night.
Evangeline held the beer up towards her mouth, exhaling before putting it to her lips, taking a small sip.
"C'mon, E, don't be a bitch!" JJ said to her.
"I'm not! Fuck you, JJ." She said back.
She then chugged and internally puked as the cold, gross-tasting liquid fell down her throat. She crumpled the can and threw it to the ground, copying JJ's actions. "Beer is disgusting." Evangeline said, her face scrunched in disgust.
"Beer was the greatest thing ever created." JJ replied.
"Of course you'd say that," Kie said. "JJ loves beer. Don't hate on his beer."
"Not hating, just saying it's gross." Evangeline said. Kie laughed, shaking her head and taking a sip of her own beer.
At first Kie felt weird about hanging out with Evangeline, due to the fact that Evangeline was Sarah Cameron's best friend. Then, once they got about an hour into the hang out, Kie felt fine and was actually having fun on her own with Evangeline. Even without the boys, Kie enjoyed Evangeline's presence.
