The gossip of me being in rehab for a year and a half spread through the school like wildfire(which, was exaggerated, I was only in rehab for four months). Over the next two days it started to feel like everyone was taking me as a joke. Ads for rehab centers and therapists and support groups showed up on my locker all day;it went from two papers to twenty in the matter of hours. People left empty and full bottles of liquor by my locker and dorm along with shot glasses with marks on them and 'instructions' to 'show me when to stop'. I knew Maria was the one who went around and told everyone, for some reason she was mad again, my guess was 'cause I slapped her.

I let the taunting and teasing go on for two to three days then I decided I was over it and started pushing back. I took the paper ads and started pinning them to the bulletin boards, if so many people knew about these things I assumed that many people needed them as well. I started pouring the liquor on the floor of the hallways in front of the lockers and dorms of the people who I knew were fucking with me then breaking the glasses on their lockers or doors. It only took a day or so for me to send across the message that the joke was over and everyone could fuck off now. Slowly but surely, the cartel made its way back to the top and we were once again feared by the school, I enjoyed it.

It wasn't long before another party was being talked about. This one was just like the one Shabnam accidentally threw a few months back. The government kids wanted a small get together but got manipulated into having some big party in their parents big house on a hill. I contemplated even going but of course, Santiago wanted to go so...I had to go as well.

On the night of the party, I wore a basic black long sleeve cropped top and a black skirt with a pair of black boots. Me, Santiago, Juan and a few others drove up to the big house together. When we got there, there was already people pouring out into the front lawn, drunk or high; most of them stayed within their groups a few to drunk strayed away by themselves and a few others found bushes to get busy in. As we walked into the house, Santiago held my hand, leading me through the crowded house while Juan walked behind me flirting with some girl.

Eventually we made it to the kitchen where Santiago made us drinks, then we walked around a little to find the other Soto Vatos. For a lot of the time, Santiago kept his arm around me, either around my waist or over my shoulders, if his arm wasn't around me he was standing close behind me; I honestly couldn't tell if it was annoying me or turning me on just a little. "I'm gonna go find the bathroom" I said into his ear so he'd hear me over the music. He nodded then I pushed my way through people heading for upstairs. It felt like forever before I found the ridiculously long line for the bathroom.

I waited in line, eventually getting to use it then I walked back out into the mess. I looked around for forever but couldn't find my group so I found my way back over to the kitchen where there was a wide choice of drinks. I took out a cup from the stack then picked up the vodka bottle and filled the cup a little more then three fourths of the way then filled the rest with sprite.Once I had fixed myself my second drink, I went back to looking for my group. After pushing through drunk, high, sweaty and horny teens I gave up and found refuge in a family room type place. It looked right into the main living room where most people were and it was mostly empty minus a few passed out people.
