"Nia your mom isn't even in town, stop being so lame" 

I roll my eyes as I plop down on the couch kicking my feet up. "That still doesn't give you the right to throw a party at my damn house without me knowing"

"What's done is done. People will start showing up any second now and I don't need your attitude pissing them off"

"If anything gets damaged your paying for it" I finally gave in.

"Girl you and I both know I ain't paying for shit" I laugh and stand up

"Now go change, get sexy, your boyfriend's coming" Alexis says pushing me up the stairs. I walk upstairs to my bedroom and lock the door behind me. I know my parents will freaking kill me if they found out about this party. They'll never trust me again, but Alexis had already told all these people to come and she can't cancel it 5 minutes before the party originally supposed to start. I had to go through with this.  I changed out of my dance clothes and put on a black crop tank, white jeans and my favorite white and gold Michael Kors shoes.

I brushed my flat ironed hair then put on some large gold hoops. I applied my shinny lip gloss, my mascara and eyeliner then walked downstairs. I heard music playing through my dads surround sounds. I walked downstairs and people just started pouring in. About an hour in people were dancing and drinking alcohol from their red cups. I faked it and only poured cranberry juice in my cup. I sat on the couch as people rapped loudly to Future.

"Gosh Nia have some fun" Alexis says pulling me off the couch. I groan and take a sip from my cup them walk away to the kitchen. I sit on the countertop and just scrolled through my Twitter.

"Hey" I hear someone say, I look up and it was my boyfriend Daniel. I smile as he walks over to me and hugs me tightly then kisses my lips. There were a few people standing behind him that I've never seen before.

"I have some friends who'll be here any minute now to liven up this party." Daniel tells me and all his friends just look at each other with a huge grin. Am I missing something?

"Daniel" Someone shouts a group a guys and a few girls walks over and hands Daniel a baggie then walk away to join the party. I looked to see what was in the bag and seen some little white pills.

He starts to distribute them amongst his friends and they handed him some cash in return.

"What's that?" I ask scrunching up my face. He smiles as he pops one in his mouth and swallows it down with whatever was in the red cup. "Smarties" One of his friends says and they laughed. I fake giggle and nervously move a strand of hair behind my ear.

"It's Oxycodone. Here" Daniel says placing a pill in my hand. I just stare at it and look back up at him.

"You scared? It's nothing. You'll just feel high for the night" Daniel states. He looks at me for a few seconds "You've never been high before?" He asks surprised with a laugh.

"Just take it" He hands me his bottle of water. My parents won't be home until Tuesday so they won't see the effect of me doing it. I place the pill on my tongue and swallow it down with the water. Daniel smiles and drapes his arm over my shoulder.

"You'll enjoy your night even more now"

I walked into Bryson's house and waited downstairs playing with Harley. He came down the stairs pulling his shirt over his head, I tried not to stare.

"I seen ya lil party the other night when I was riding home from work" Bryson tells me with a slight laugh "Ya OG know about that? I know it was alcohol there" Shit, He's gonna snitch on me. I look up nervously faking a smile, moving a strand of hair behind my ear.

"I'm just messing with ya" He laughs looking in the mirror fixing himself up. He fix his hair a little just put the Nike hat on top of it.

"Can I ask you something?" I ask standing up from the floor and he nods his head yes. "How bad is Oxycodone?" I'm still freaking out from taking that. What was I thinking? I learned about not giving into peer pressure in like 6th grade. But Daniel is my boyfriend he wouldn't give me anything that could have some bad side effects, would he?

"The pain killers? That shit has the worst side effects, my homie Jacob took that he almost died, his throat nearly closed" Oh shit. My eyes widen and I wanted to run upstairs and throw this shit up to get it out of my system.

"Why?" He ask turning around looking at me, I immediately grew nervous. I don't know if it was because we were making eye contact or I was scared to tell him I took some pills.

"My friend's boyfriend gave her one at the party and umm she took them. I just wanted to make sure she'd be okay" I lie, rubbing my hand up and down my arm.

"Your friend huh?" He asks with a little smirk raising his eyebrow "If her boyfriend cared he wouldn't have gave her those. If they were trying to get high they could've just smoked some weed" He laughs grabbing his keys "But I guess she'll be fine as long as she doesn't do something stupid like that again. Hate to see a pretty face turn to an addict" He then leaves out the house. Wait what? He doesn't even know what my friend looks like. He knew I was talking about myself, wait a second HE JUST CALLED ME PRETTY! Okay Nia, just calm down no big deal, let me stop lying. HE JUST CALLED ME CUTE THIS IS A BIG DEAL! This felt just like a school girl crush.

I play with the dolls with Harley until she got tired and I laid her down in her bed. As I walk down the stairs Bryson walks into the house.

"Why are you back so soon?" I ask as I walk down the last step. "Class let out early" He replies kicking off his shoes at the door. I wanted to ask him about his little comment later but I'll just keep that to myself. He gives me $25 and I head to the door.

"Tomorrow you don't have to come. Harley's mom is supposed to come get her for the rest of the week" Bryson tells me.

"Alright see you Monday" I say walking out the house.
