"Who's party is this?" Arnell asked. She was not impressed. All the people seemed to be three to four years older than them. Arnell did see a couple of high schoolers here and there, but other than that, it seemed to be twenty one and up.

"Girl, it's Dorian's party."

"Bitch, who?"

"You know Dorian." Jada insisted. "I'm pretty sure he be kicking it with Meech."

The name still wasn't ringing a bell. Jada rolled her eyes and dragged Arnell into to house.

When they got inside, Lil Yachty's song Minnesota blasted threw the speakers. Arnell sat on the couch and watched Jada walk over to the cooler and pull out two beers.

"Here." Jada said handing her a can.

Arnell shook her head. "I want something stronger."

"Girl, you ain't never drank in your life. What you mean you want something stronger?"

Arnell tried not to laugh at Jada. She was right, she had never drank before, but there's a first time for everything.

"Come on Jada, With all this shit going on, I could use a drink."

Jada simply just nodded her and head. "Hold on." Jada disappeared in to the crowd.

She came back with some big bulky guy. "Arnell, this is Dorian."

"How you doin'?" He asked.

Arnell recognized him now. He was playing basketball with Damitri that one time.

He poured some Hennessy into a red plastic cup and handed it to Arnell. "This for you."

Arnell took the cup and down the whole drink. She quickly regretted it when she felt her throat burn. Arnell cringed as Dorian refilled her cup.

"Damn, ma." He laughed.

This time, Arnell took it slow. Jada and Dorian was all boo'd up on the opposite couch. After the two cups of Henny, Arnell just drank Smirnoff. She couldn't deal with the burn of the Hennessy. Arnell felt as if she was sinking into the couch.

"Aye, your girl okay?"

Jada looked over at Arnell. She was out of there. "Yeah, she aight. Let's go to your room." Jada insisted.

Arnell was now on the couch alone. Arnell got up and stumbled into the bathroom. Before she knew it, she was slumped over the toilet vomiting.

"Aye, the cops here!" Some one yelled. She could hear everyone panicking. People starting running out of the house not trying to get caught up with the police.

Someone knocked on the door but before she could answer, they barged in.

"Aye, twelve is h-"

Arnell turned her head to see Damitri standing in the door with his eyes wide opened. He completely walked into the bathroom and shut the door behind him.
