2 hours into the party, eleven and max finally found their friends and they already forgot about the incident that had happened earlier.
"i'm thirsty. let's go see what some of those drinks are." eleven suggests.
max nods in agreement and they walk into the kitchen.
"what drinks are you serving?" eleven asks the guy who was handing out drinks.
"pure fuel." the man says blankly without making any eye contact.
"what?" max laughs.
"here." the man shoves two cups in their faces.
max and eleven give the man a weird look before leaving the kitchen with the drinks in their hands.
"rude." eleven says.
max tilts her cup slightly and looks inside.
"i wonder what this is, though." max brings it to her nose and smells it.
eleven does the same.
"it smells like pepsi." max shrugs.
"thank god." eleven sighs in relief. "i thought it was alcohol."
"i doubt nancy would hand out alcohol here."
"that says otherwise." eleven points to a drunk teenager dancing.
max and eleven laugh.
"so how are you enjoying the party so far?" eleven asks before taking a sip of her drink.
"it's great, actually. i was expecting it to be like those cliche high school parties but it really isn't." max smiles.
"me too. i thought people would be getting drunk and playing spin the bottle or something, but i guess not." eleven shrugs.
"good. those games are so stupid anyway." max rolls her eyes as she thinks about the party she went to last year.
she honestly did not understand how eleven was able to play.
why was it so easy for her to kiss random people she didn't know?
surely max couldn't do that.
"hey, when's the party ending anyway?" max changes the subject.
"at 12. we can leave sooner if you want." eleven answers.
"not now. i'm actually kind of having fun." max admits.
eleven can't help but smile seeing that her best friend was enjoying herself.
"it's a good thing i made you come, huh?" eleven grins.
"yeah, thanks el." max chuckles.

only one hour was left at the party and max had decided it'd be a good idea to leave now.
she grabbed her phone and went to step outside and call billy but she stopped.
"where are you going, max?" nancy smiled brightly.
max could tell nancy was up to something.
but all she knew was that she was tired and she wanted to leave now.
"i thought i'd go home now." max shrugs.
"we still have an hour of the party left." nancy frowns.
"i know but—"
"you'll miss the fun part. just stay for another hour please." nancy begs.
what fun part?
"um... i guess i could stay for another hour." max sighs.
"of course you can." nancy smiles again.
nancy turns to the door and locks it.
"alright, everyone!" nancy yells, catching everyone's attention.
"there's only an hour left of the party so i thought we could do something fun. no one is allowed to leave." nancy says sternly.
max couldn't help but feel scared by what nancy could have in mind.
nancy walks into the kitchen and returns with a bottle in her hand.
is this what i think it is?
"in case you haven't noticed yet, we're playing spin the bottle." nancy says with an evil grin.
