i had no idea what had happened the night before, all i remember was having some iced tea at a bar with spyke and his friends.
"are you ok?" tyler asks me from across the table. he had a burrito in his hand and grabs another out of the box.
"uh, i'm not sure yet... i don't know why i was out there." i remember dancing. i remember colorful lighting spinning with my head. i remember laughing. "but... from what i can remember... it was fun." tylers eyes got wide.
"josh, you're hungover! you were drunk!"
"yeah, but it felt... indescribable." i remember the euphoria flowing through the air, everybody smiling.
"josh! are you kidding me?" he retorted, raising his voice. "you're only 17." he went back down into a whisper.
"just because i'm 17 doesn't mean i can't have fun and friends who actually care about my happiness." i got up and left. i pulled my phone out of my pocket and scrolled through my contact list.
"yeah, hey. i'm on for tonight."
