"Come on, Denise. Don't be such a prune" Connor rolled his eyes, leaning himself to the brick wall. We were waiting for his oh-so-mighty-girlfriend of Connor who was relentlessly giving us the silent treatment. 

"Come on Connor, she won't budge. Let's just get to the meeting place." Anne smoked out as she blew the smoke to his face. Connor scoffed and continued banging his fist at the door. 

"You have no say in this, Anna." I was annoyed by the fact that Anna still wanted a piece of Connor which was his heart. Her unending flirts made Denise all jealous which was why she was  ditching us for some book. 

"Shut up Dun. All you do is shit around other people's business'" She puffed out. 

"Oh really now? Then why the hell are you here, uninvited?" I retort making her laugh, throwing her head back. 

"Will you stop it and help me with getting my girlfriend to come with us?" Connor interrupted. 

I walked towards the door and as I was about to knock, the door comes flying open, making me lose my balance in result to me falling on someones feet, 

The feet had nail polish which was to my guess was Denise. 

"Oh you're here again?" Denise spoke. I lifted my head to see her talking to Anna with a bored face. Anna just shrugged, smiling innocently. 

"I won't come since you're busy with a girl right here." She turns her attention to Connor who seems to be enjoying the jealousy. 

"She came along! Besides, Cath is right here to keep you company while I meet up with the guys!" Connor states and I get up with my hands raised. 

"Believe me, I only went with him for the free food." Connor nudged my side painfully making me groan in pain. 

"Asshole." I cross my arms, looking away from him. 

We were all dressed formally for an event Connor invited us too which was at the central. I really didn't know what was happening but like I said, the food brings me to places. 

They kept arguing until Denise finally agreed to come. 

We went inside the car as for Anna who put down her cigarette, smiled at Denise before getting in. 

We were supposed to pick up Peter right at his house but I guess he had other plans when we picked him up at his house. 

His house was packed with people who were screaming. I looked at Connor but he just sighed and we just went in. 

"He must've forgotten it again." Connor mumbled, putting his hands at his pockets. 

The smell of smoke, specifically weed smoke swarmed the entire house which made me cover my nose and mouth to get myself from getting high. The last time I got high, I was hanging from a tree with only my bra and underwear on and I wouldn't want that to happen again. 

We finally saw Peter who was furiously making out with a girl. Connor put his hand at Peter's shoulder and both pull away, finally. 

"What the hell man!" Connor shouted at Peter. Peter's eyes skimmed Connor's attire and looked at us all. 

"Oh shit!" But before we could react, all the people went out of the house leaving only us. It was like a split second that they left and it made me realize, that we were damned.

"Really?  A drug plantation? At the back of your house?" Denise complained at Peter. We were all detained at some enclosed place by the authorities. Anna kept a straight face on as she slouched. 

Connor and I had our  head between our arms and I'm guessing he was about to vomit. Suddenly, a tall guy wearing a kinda metal suit calls out for Peter. Peter gladly stands up with a tired face and we silently watch. 

After minutes of waiting, the guy calls Anna out.

"You're out."  He simply says. 

"Hey, what about us?" Denise called out but Anna just avoided the question and looks at Connor with a concerned face. 

Of course it had to be Anna. Her family runs the Central. The Central are the richest of the richest and they run a specific area. Anna's family runs our area which is called Weston since Anna's last name is Weston. Each area has a Central and well, we're not part of it except for the oh all mighty Anna. 

Another guy goes in and he looks at all of us. "Come with me."

"Wait what?" I suddenly blurt out and he looks at me with amusement. 

"What's going to happen to us? We didn't do anything wrong. We were just going to pick up our friend but we didn't know he had some drugs at his damn backyard." I continue and without any second of it, his palm connects with my cheek, hard. 

Connor suddenly punches him but he just laughs, 

"Now you're really going far away." He scowls. 

"What?" Denise asks. 

"We. Didn't. Do. Anything. Wrong." Connor growls. 

"Oh but you did. You just assaulted the father of the Central." His words sounded like we all got punched in the face and that my friends is how you fuck up your whole life.
