Everyone was laughing, except you.

You close your eyes and let the sweet smell of freshly brewed tea fill your nose and lungs, 'today would be peaceful' you thought.
Today was the first day of spring break and you woke up well refreshed, your peppermint tea was delightful, and you had been lounging around your living room ever since you woke up.
You soon get a text from your closest friend, asking if you were busy tonight. You quickly reply with a simple "no" and they kindly invited you to a small get together at their house. You smile and text them saying you'll be there.

It's an hour before the get-together and you have just decided to get ready. Not knowing if it would be a full on party, or just a group hangout, you decide to go dressed casual, yet edgy.
You arrive at your friends house and let yourself in. You start towards the living room, where you know everyone will be, when you start to hear some silent sniffling.
Your confusion and instincts don't kick in in time and you're suddenly forced forward. With a loud thud you hit the ground and slam the side of your head on the wall on your way down.
You lift your right hand to try and rub your now throbbing and aching head, when your hands are being pulled upwards to bring you to your feet.
You look up to see a mans face. You didn't recognize them and panic started to flow through your veins. Was this a joke? Or was this the end.

You are soon being forced into your friends room where you see them, sitting unconscious, gaged, and tied up on a chair. You realize the same is about to happen to you, so you will out all the strength you have to kick the man holding your hands behind your back and covering your mouth. He fumbles a bit, obviously in pain from where your kick was aimed. He recovers quite quickly and forcefully throws you to the ground. He reaches in his back pocket to grab a gag, while resting his foot on your back.
He picks you up and you try to fight back some more when he then calls for someone to help him. Another man, a slightly younger lad, comes in with a friend. The two new men take hold of your wrists and tie you up while seating you on a nearby office chair. They tie your feet together then to the base of the chair, while the main man, who seemed to be the one in charge of this, gaged you. You try to ask them why they've done this, and when no one can understand you, they decide to un-gag you. You ask your question and are soon greeted with a large amount of laughter. Though not only coming from the three men in front of you, but everywhere. More people begin to enter the room whilst laughing hysterically while you just sit and stare. You are soon re-gaged and you count 23 men standing directly in front of you.
Laughter continues to fill the air as you try to scream, but nothing exits your mouth. What had you gotten into?

You watch intently as one man grabs a baseball bat, laughing the loudest out of all of them, he pulls the bat over his shoulder and swings at you.

The last thing you heard before you were knocked out,
Everyone was laughing, except you.
