Abby lives just down the street so we decide to walk, we both are talking and preparing ourselves for this hopefully not too wild night. As we start to get closer to the house, we can hear the music pumping and we start to see the crowd when we reach the house.
The house is big like mine and is two stories high, it kind of looks like mine but not as big but it has a pool.
We both take a deep breath and take a step through the door.
I look around and see so many people holding red cups, almost our whole year level except for the nerds, plus some of the girls and guys from other schools. Everyone is drinking! I feel so out of my comfort zone but I try and put that aside and make it look like I’m having a good time. The music is so loud but luckily they are playing good songs. As we start making our way through the crowd looking for Abby and her group to say hey, people are giving us weird stares as if we aren’t supposed to be here.
“I think we should go! Plus I don’t want my mum to find out! Lets leave”
“Oh my god Macey we just got here, relax and take everything in”
“Take what in, the alcohol and the drugs and cigarettes”
“That’s not what I meant, but now that I think of it, maybe we should get you something that will make you chill out” she says and giggles
“SKYLAR! NO WAY!!!” I scream and people look at me and start to laugh. I knew this was a bad idea.
We keep going through the crowd when Skylar yells “THERE THEY ARE!”
I can feel my face start to go red and my breaths are getting deeper and I’m getting sweaty and hot and I’m shaking… I’m really nervous, what if they do something.
Skylar grabs my hand and we start pacing over to them. They are all sitting on the couch in the living room smoking and most of their eyes are red, including PJ’s and Callum which is disappointing but that’s what they do I guess so I will have to get used to it.
We finally reach them. Abby looks up at us and smiles.
“Hey! I’m surprised you came,” she says
“Why wouldn’t we” Skylar replies
“I don’t know, this isn’t really your thing”
“That’s not true” Skylar lies
“Aha okay then, wanna sit down?”
“Yeah sure, whatever” I say trying to hide my nervousness / excitement
“Nick move over a little” Abby says
Nick takes the cigarette out of his mouth and looks up and down at us; “gladly” he smiles and moves over so we can sit next to him.
It stenches of smoke over here, I can barely breathe
Skylar leans over and whispers to me “hey can you pass me the cigarettes”
SHIT! THE CIGARETTES! WE FORGOT TO BRING THEM! OH NO!
“Oh fuck! We forgot to bring them!” I whisper back to her
“Don’t worry its okay, we can just smoke some of theirs”
“We?”
“Yes we, come on we have to do it, everyone else is doing it, it wont hurt you, just relax, its not even that bad” she says back to me
I just roll my eyes in annoyance because she knows I hate this stuff but she still makes me do it! It’s so annoying, but I guess she knows what’s best right?
