My Complete 180°

Sweat and Ciggaretes

"Sid!" I called out.

"Wassup Arik?!" Sid was carrying piles of beer.
"You see i'm busyy?!!" He says annoyed. One of the beers almost falls.

I caught it.

"Lighten up." I place it back in the package and take it from him. It weighs like a feather. He gives me a look and I smirk.

"Stop showing off." He pushes me lightly.
It was dark already and the party was in full heat.
The music was loud and mischievous. The people, I could recognize were from school and some were complete strangers. No Helga, or Hilda. I set the beers on the countertop.
People crowded around, taking each a beer in hand. No more left.
Greedy fuckers, I said in my head.
Where is Sid?
I scavenge the room full of people dirty dancing on one another like hungry dogs.
There he was flirting with, whatshername....
Oh Nadine. I roll my eyes.
We weren't done bringing in the rest of the beers that were left in the car.
I headed out the house until I bumped into a... Hilda? Or is it Helga?

We stared at each other for a good second.

"Hey stupido."

It was Helga.

"You came." I handed her a beer.

She grabbed it and handed it to someone else.

I scoffed.

An Asian chick was behind her grabbing her arm. They whispered something. Its So loud in here!It was Impossible for you to whisper and actually hear them. Helga looked at me and yelled,

"IM HEADING TO THE FOOD!"

I laughed and pointed to the, almost finished nachos, on the table in the living room. Most of the people were dancing and making out at in the front of the house. It was a pretty small place to place a party but no one cares about that, it's all beer, sex, and cigarettes.

Gerald and some of his friends followed inside.

"Hey! Have you seen your brother?" I asked Gerald.

"Nawww, why?" He scratched his head.

"He was bringing the good stuff." I winked.

He frowned his face, "c'mon man, don't play like that." He lightly punched my shoulder.

I laughed. I saw him look around the room and stop his view on That same Asian chick who was with Helga.

It's been over 2 minutes.

"Dude, pick up your jaw and hide your boner." I chuckled.

He glanced at his bottom area, and he knew I was joking, "Ha. Ha." He laughed sarcastically.

I noticed one of Gerald' s friends had a hoodie on. He looked like that guy.... no....he looked like me. I think his name was.. Arnold.
He looked like he is having a shitty day.

"Hey! Get your dirty hands off the ceiling!" Sid scolded a tall boy who was jumping.

"Leave him alone, they are just having fun." I called back.

Arnold POV

These loud but distant conversations overflowed the inside of the house.
My head was burning from it.
Gerald left me, even though he forced me to come.

I really don't want to be here.

My hoodie covered my ears to at least provide some sort of wall between the loudness. But it was inevitable.

The music got louder and the lights went dark. Suddenly everyone went towards the front of the house. Stepping on my foot and coughing and sneezing on my back. I believe I tasted a bit of sweat pouring from all the hot, dancing , crowd of animals.
