I just came home from school after a long day of testing and book work that seemed tedious to do. After grabbing an after school snack, I checked my phone and opened Instagram. The first post that came up was a picture with the caption

"END OF THE YEAR/END OF HIGH SCHOOL BLOWOUT TONIGHT! Bring a pal, bring a gal 😏 and come celebrate the end of the year with us!"

I kept scrolling after seeing that post because I didn't want to go, parties were never my thing. I finished my snack and headed up stairs to my room to work on some homework and maybe tweak my college applications. Senior year was a good year but it did have it's downfalls. My phone vibrates on the desk, I picked it up to a text from Josh.

Josh 🤪

Did you hear about the party?

Yeah, I'm not sure if I wanna go tho 🤷🏻‍♀️

Come on, it'll be fun!! I can give you a ride. Oh we can get some drinks if they have a keg!

Thanks Josh but I'm saving my liver till I'm 21 😂

Whatever wimp, I'm picking you up at 7, see you there!

Josh! I don't wanna go!

Well, I got less than three hours, let's see how much damage I can do till then. I picked out some clothes for me to wear to the party. I couldn't decide on whether or not I should wear a dress of some sort or maybe a shirt with some jeans. I decided to wear jeans and band tee. The door bell rang while I was changing into my shirt. There was a noise coming from downstairs so I went to check it out. Completely forgetting that I was only in a pair of jeans and a bra, I went out of my room to go down the hall where the stairs were.
"Woah, y/n, put some clothes on!" Josh said in shock then covering his eyes with his hands, but leaving space between his fingers so he could still see.
"Josh, you're such a perve! And how about you actually wait for me to answer the door next time!" I said while turning my back towards Josh and heading back to my room. Josh sat on my bed and looked around my room. I went to my vanity and grabbed my shirt off of my chair and put it on.
"Aw come on! Don't quit the show too soon!" Josh pouted.
I rolled my eyes. "You know you're 2 hours early, right?"
"Yeah, but I just wanted to get a head start before we go."
"Head start?" I scoffed, "What do you mean head start?"
"You know like, uh, eating before we go! We don't wanna get wasted on an empty stomach and have one hell of hangover, do we?"
"Who said I'm getting wasted? Last time I checked, I'm your designated driver whenever we go somewhere and you're drunk off you ass."
"Okay fine." Josh stood up and walked around my room. I didn't know what he was doing because I was too busy putting on makeup. Josh picked up one of my records and put it on my turn table. He turned it on as well as my speakers. "Oo You" by Paul McCartney started playing and Josh started snapping to the funky beat.

"You know you don't need all that." He said facing the stereo system instead of me.
"All what?"
"That make up. You look fine with out it."
"It's just some eyeshadow and mascara Josh, nothing fancy."
There was a pause until Josh abruptly screamed with the song, "EAT LIKE A HUNGER OOO!"
Josh grabbed my hands and lifted me from my seat. "Cook like a woman ooo oooo," He started dancing with me in the most weirdest dance he could ever do.
"You're so weird." I said, trying to go back to me seat but Josh's grip tightened.
"Come on, keep dancing until the songs over." He begged and made a pout face.
I rolled my eyes in response. We both sang and danced along until the song was over.
"Okay Josh, I need to get ready." I said going back to my seat. I picked up my mascara wand and put mascara on my left eye since. Josh laid on his stomach with his hands holding his face up. He watched me so carefully while I was finishing up my makeup. When I finished, I turned my seat toward him and he was still observing.
"I'm going to get some food." I said while standing up and walking out the door.
I walked down to the kitchen, grabbing some left over pizza from the fridge. I microwaved three pieces knowing that Josh would have two. As I was putting the three pieces on two separate plates, I heard music playing through my speakers. It was from one of the records that Josh left the last time he came over just to listen to music. As I came up the stairs, getting closer to my room, the song became more clear. Josh was playing Abre la Ventana by Victor Jara and dancing along with it like no one was watching. He turned around and saw me and my big smile as he came towards me to grab the two pieces of pizza.
"So," Josh said while stuffing his face with pizza. "What's the plan for tonight?"
"Well, if you're going to get shitfaced, I'll drive you to my place and make you a bed on the floor so you can sleep but if you're not going to get shitfaced, I don't know. Maybe we can watch American Graffiti?"
"Fine by me, but make sure that bed has my favorite pillow, okay?"
"Okay, anything for you doll." I said, mimicking Josh because he always calls me that.

Time Skip

Josh and I arrived at the party. Everyone was holding red plastic cups and I instantly knew what we were getting into. Josh went straight to the kitchen to grab himself a drink. Me on the other hand, I went to go find some people that I can talk to while Josh is being the life of the party. I saw Jake in the corner and made my way over to him.
"Not watching the kids?" I yelled over the loud music.
"What? Oh, Sam? Him and Danny are off somewhere around here." Jake said in response.
"You're telling me that you let two freshman come to a senior party? Are you crazy?!"
"It's gonna be fine! They're responsible 15 year olds who won't drink."
"Are you sure? I think your 'responsible' 15 year old brother is getting high over there." I said while pointing to Sam. He was with a group of seniors surrounding him and a bong while Danny was behind them, yelling at Sam to stop.
"Shit! SAM GIVE ME THE BONG!" Jake screamed at Sam while running over to him. And of course, Jake took the bong and got a hit.
I made my way to the bathroom passing drunk teens making out all over the place. I opened the door and walked in on Leo Dunlop and Ava Curtis doing it on the counter. They both screamed at me to get out and I proudly did so. I decided I had enough of this party and started walking to the front door.
"Baby, where you going?" Josh slurred when he saw me opening the door.
"I'll wait for you in the car until your done okay?" I patted his arm and walked out to the car.
An hour or so passed by and everyone started to leave the party. I spotted Josh and got out of his car.
"Keys?" I asked Josh and stuck out my hand. He turned it over and kissed it. I jerked my hand away and my other hand went to his pocket to grab his keys.
"Getting a little close there doll."
"Perve. Get in the car."
