The whole car ride over was awkward. I could tell Chad had a thing for Zoe just by the way he looked and talked to her. However,he could also tell that I liked her too. Maybe its just a look everyone gives off when they like someone.
“Hey Chad, Zoe. And um Kurt,right?” Krist hollered as soon as we pulled in.
“Yeah.” I mumbled
“ Well good to see you here. Come on in.” He grabbed me around my shoulder. “how have you been?”
I really didn’t know how to answer. “I’ve been good,thanks.And you?”
“Good.I got some high-grade shit for tonight” Krist smiled
I just smiled. I wasn’t sure what all he meant for high-grade stuff; weed or more stuff.

We got into the house. Everyone had red solo cups in their hands, people were sitting on the sofa tripping.
“So you want to try some of this?” Krist showed me a thin strip.
“Sure.”
Once the strip hit my tongue, it dissolved. Krist did the same. Nothing happened for a while. We talked about music with no feelings of the drug(LSD) I had taken. Then about an hour into the conversation I felt a slight tingly feeling throughout my body. It wasn’t painful, just odd. I started to feel as if time was running backward, or was moving super slowly. Everything became beautiful and magical. People had turned different colors and where moving in slow motion in on second and super high speed the next.
“ You know what,krist?” I slurred my words. He seemed to not notice what I had said or was just pondering it.
“What?”
I pondered this simple, yet unsimple answer. Everything about this seemed super important.
“ I want to start a band with you.” I had felt good saying it but he started changing colors again,which freaked me out. I coward backward. In slow motion ,krist got up, and came toward me.
“You okay,man? It’s okay, nothing is going to hurt you.” He said in slow motion with the strips across his face changing color and shaping into other formations.
“Yeah,yeah.”
“Starting a band with you, Kurt, would be cool as fuck.”
I pondered this for quite a while; just staring off into space. The floor was moving with colors, like disco. People began to move in super fast speed but then slow down to impossibly slow.
“Hey Krist.”
“Yeah,man?”
“This is pretty cool.”
“Yeah”
I felt as if the filter of my eyes had been removed. I could see the edges of my view..like watching a movie and you can see the corner of the screen..the edges of my view started to have tails of color that change and move, like the tails of tadpoles moving very fast
I stood up and couldn't walk properly as if the room was distorted. I saw the colors change, split.I started to see the walls and floor move and causing friction of sparks in extremely slow motion like diamonds shining.
I needed to find Zoe.
