Halley's Comet

Sixty Two

August 17
Los Angeles, California

Blowing the smoke out my nose, I look over at Billie to see her staring up at the ceiling. "You good?" I ask her as I ash the blunt. She nods her head slowly making me laugh.

Iris and I had the idea to hotbox in the basement. Billie was hesitant to be in the hotbox but she ended up coming. I rolled up like five blunts and we been passing them back and forward. Iris ended up calling Amir who actually wasn't that far to join.

Soon our whole friend group ended up in the basement with us.

Drew and Zoe laid on the giant bean bag in the corner while Iris and Amir were laying on the couch. Billie and I were on our pull out couch to which she was getting very comfortable on.

The rule is who ever breaks the hotbox first got to do a dare.

My bet is on Billie because she never done a hotbox before. We don't even have any water right now and I know she be getting cotton mouth more than any of us.

"Let's play a game." Drew mumbles as she passes the blunt off to Zoe. "What game?" Iris asks her as she smokes the third blunt. Drew ended up bringing three more blunts for us to smoke so we have a total seven blunts in rotation. The quickest rotation ever because damn near everybody got a blunt in their hands.

"How about some good old fashioned truth or dare?" Zoe suggests before she hits two blunts at the same time. Drew and I hype her before Billie shushes me.

"Okay bet." We all sit up and get around the coffee table to play the game. Billie lays her head on my stomach with a goofy smile.

Zoe clears her throat before speaking. "Okay um Iris truth or dare?" She turns her to look at my best friend who looks over at her with extremely low eyes.

I can barely tell if they were even open.

"Truth."

"Boring!" Drew shouts with her head down. She raises her finger in the air and shakes her head. "Boring boring boring"

"Please shut up." Zoe mushes her face and turns back to Iris. "Okay is it true you use to have a crush on Halley?"

Huh?

Iris laughs it off but it is clear on her face that she don't want to answer the question. "When I first met her..yeah" My eyes widened and everyone looks over at me.

"What?" Billie sits up and looks at Iris who shrugs her shoulders.

"That was literal years ago. I think of her as just my best friend now. No feelings over here friend."

Billie hums in response and looks at me, grabbing my chin and pulling my face towards her. "Stop turning everybody gay." She tells me before pushes my head away.

"What? I don't turn motherfuckers gay"

Iris laughs. "You do but not me. Been loving pussy over here just love dick more." Amir looks at her and frowns his face up.

"Be quiet." He tells her and she smiles kissing his cheek. "I love you boo bear." He smacks his teeth and moves his head away.
