Yellow Roses

Chapter 3: Liz

After Angel took her second hit, I took my forth and I can finally feel my vision get brighter and my body feel lighter. I'm back to my old self again.

"Man, what would the world be like without this stuff?" I say in a slight chuckle.

"I don't knowwww" Carrie said in an elongated whine. "But it's amazing."

Ava sat on the couch quietly.

I laughed to myself thinking about how much of a lightweight they are. It's why I don't mind sharing my weed. 2 to hits and they're all stoned off their asses.

I light up one more time, and exhale the smoke from my mouth and breathe it back in.

"You still need to teach us how to French inhale." Ava said, in a daze. "It looks so cool but I can never do it."

I giggled. "It's a magic trick only I'm allowed to do." I paused for a moment. "Just kidding. Here let me show you."

One more hit I took, where I let the smoke fall out of my mouth as I breathed in deeply through my nose. "Don't blow it out, let it seep out, and breathe in deep with your nose, not mouth."

"Ok.." Ava trailed off her words as she took the blunt and tried. She failed and coughed uncontrollably. I patted her on the back.

"Woah there soldier." I joked. "Try it again, you didn't listen." She waved her hand in front of her face. "Nah, I'm good. I kind of just want to play some Mario Kart now."

I lit up remembering that's what we were supposed to be doing. "I'm going to take you all down!" I yelled before pressing play.

About 45 minutes had passed and the 4 of us were munching on slices of pizza that later arrived, and battling each other in video games. Every now and then we started to take more hits but I think Carrie was starting to feel it the most.

I felt her tug on my arm. "The tv is so loud I can't taste my pizza." She said in a daze. I busted out laughing. "Carrie, I think you're tapped out for the night." I said while patting her on the head.

"No, I want to have a party. I mean, Ava's parents are already gone for the night."

I watched Ava shoot a look at her.

"I told you we're not having a party here. Plus it's getting late. Nobody would even show up."

I decided to pitch in. "It's 9pm on a Friday night. We have some weed left, your parents have a liquor cabinet too. I say people will show up. I mean, why not? We'll help you clean afterwards."

Angel rubbed her head. "I don't even like half the school. I'm not so sure about this."

"Oh come on!" Carrie whined. "Just once. Come on, it's a 2v2 vote. We need one more of you to change your minds."

Ava sighed deeply before speaking. "Okay fine, but ONLY if you all promise to help clean afterwards. And everyone is out by midnight."

We all nodded in unison.

"I'll post about it on Facebook. I have lots of friends there." Carrie said. "I'll post a snap." Angel pitched in.

I smiled from ear to ear. It's been a long time since we ever did something like this. I stood up. "And I'm going to raid the liquor cabinet! Everyone gets a shot of vodka to start."

"I'm going to bring out some speakers and snacks. I hope I don't end up regretting this." Said Ava.

I rolled my eyes. "Ava, please. Chill out. I'm surprised the weed hasn't calmed your nerves."

She laughed to herself while opening the pantry. "Not when you give me sour diesel. I needed some indica strain. But guess I would be knocked out by now if that's what I smoked."
