          Eva's P.O.V.

      

          I shut my geometry textbook and set it aside on my desk. I decided that I did enough studying for the day. I pick up my phone to call Kasey, my best friend. We've known each other since our freshman year. My mother only lets me hang out with her because she deemed the rest of my friends as a 'bad influence.'

          But little does she know.

          Kasey was how I began smoking weed. Our favorite thing to do together is smoke. So smoking has become a natural everyday thing for me. 

          "Hey, what's up Ev?" Kasey said after picking up on the fourth ring.

          "Not much just here at the house bored," I trail off.

          "But I was wondering if you'd be down to come over and chill? Maybe smoke a little," I continued to say.

          "Whenever am I not down for that?" She replied laughing.

          "True. So see you in like, 30?" I asked.

          "See you then Ev,'' She said before the line went dead.

           Oh, shoot. I still need to ask Harry. I quietly make my way down the stairs and follow the sound of the T.V. coming from the living room, to where I expected Harry to be.

          "Hey Harry," I say nonchalantly while taking a seat on the grey sofa.

          "Hello, darling what's up?" He asks, turning his body so that he's facing towards me.

            I always seem to freeze when being under his stare. He's such a mystery to me. One that I hope to discover. I want to know everything about him.

          "Uh, I was just wondering if it would be alright for a friend to come over?" I asked as I instinctively brought my lower lip in between my teeth.

          "What friend?" He asks.

          "Kasey," I respond.

            He tilts his head to the side and pursed his lips as he's thinking.

           "Yeah, that is fine," He said looking at me with a soft smile. He was about to say something but the sound of the doorbell cut him off.

              I excused myself and went to get the door. I opened it and greeted Kasey and we went up to my room.

           "So, did you get the stuff?" I asked her.

           "Of course I got it," She said with a smirk. She unzipped a side pocket of her purse and pulled out a little bag containing the weed. She ground some of it up and rolled a blunt for us. She took a drag and passed it to me. I put the blunt up to my lips and slowly inhale, basking in the feeling of my lungs filling with smoke and that all too familiar burning sensation.

             We pass it around until none of it was left. We were both high as shit right now. My room is entirely clouded by smoke, making our vision a little unclear. We're laughing our asses off about random things that didn't make any sense. Kasey is in the middle of telling me a story when my door flies open.

           "Eva,'' I heard Harry's voice call out.

           "Heeeey Harry," I giggled.

             I notice his nostrils flaring, he must be pissed. I immediately cower down, nervous about what he is going to do. Call my mother? Take my phone away? Ground me?

           "Kelsey, I think you should go," He told her in his nongenuine nice voice.

           "Alright, but it's Kasey," She quietly corrected him, making me giggle a bit.

           "Right," Was all he said before turning to me.

             I gulped, wondering what must be going through his mind right now. He looks so attractive when he's angry.
