Sammy P.O.V.
3 months before party, 2 days after Bryson returns
If Cass saw me now she would scold me but I couldn't shake the feeling of excitement as I put the burning paper up to my lips. I was sitting outside of a bar hanging with some junkies I had known from school trying to get past the smell of my first cigarette.
"Cover your nose", Jason Kelly said laughing.
"I can't it smells even worse that way, " I said trying to hold my nose. Jason demonstrated for me by taking a long drag. I sucked my teeth and muttered, "figureti."
Despite not knowing what I just said, Jason continued to laugh and I huffed stubbornly taking one long drag. When I opened my mouth smoke puffed out in a small mushroom cloud. The smell wafted through the air and covered us in a smog of intoxication. I coughed and covered my face.
"That...was...awesome!", I coughed. Jason chuckled and his mini me's Katy Smith and Donna Edison, began giggling like wild hyenas. They were these chicks who always hung around him. I actually hated hanging with them. They didn't have a brain of their own. They did what Jason did and only that. And if by chance I saw them alone, they were talking about Jason. Obsession is one heck of a drug.
"I told you it was", Jason said. He fanned away the smoke and took a drag of his own. I took another and coughed, after 3 more times I got used to it.
"So you going to Dustin's party later", Donna asked me. I looked over at her and puffed out more smoke. She fanned it away.
"What party?", I asked feeling cool for having a cigar between my teeth.
"He told everyone yesterday", Katy said kissing Jason's cheek. He blushed and looked over at me. I furrowed my brows and he looked away. He had something stronger than I had, maybe marijuana. I didn't know what that did to you exactly but I knew it made you feel loopy.
"Oh", I said. Dustin Vega and I weren't exactly the best of friends. He made it his mission to get back at me for not letting him get down my pants. I didn't talk to him after that night and he thought I was ignoring him. And I was, because you don't exactly get over someone trying to take your virginity while your'e under the influence.
"I don't think he's inviting her", Jason smirked looking at me. I smiled coyly punching his arm playfully. His cheeks got red. Yeah, this kid was stoned out of his mind.
"Whatever", I said putting my lips on the cigarette again. But just as I do someone comes up behind me and picks me. I look down at the cocoa brown arms wrapped around me and squeal. So I'm not the lightest person in the world and how this person managed to pick me up is a mystery beyond my knowledge. "¡Oye!"
"Hey calm down cutie", his soothing voice said putting me down. I turn around and see him. Tall, black hair, and a sunshine smile. I look away for fear that I might ruin his beauty with my stare. But I didn't want to miss a second of it so I'm back to staring.
"S-sorry", I said.
"No it was me", he said coming around to get a better look at me. "Wow you're hot," He says one he gets a better look. Yeah he was definitely drunk.
"O-Oh, " I stumble tucking my hair behind my ear and smiling sheepishly up at him. He didn't stop staring. My heart did somersaults in my chest.
"Heyyy Sammy!!! Sammmmmyyyyy", someone chanted. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.
"Donovan", I sighed. The Mystery boy chuckled and my face got hot.
"I totally got you!", Donovan said. "I totally got you. He scared you!"
