"Where the fuck are we going?" I asked we hopped into some guys jeep at the end of the block.
"She's got a potty mouth. I like it." The guy driving said as he let out a chuckle.
"That's my friend, Tommy." Aaron said. "We're picking up his girl, then we're going to the desert."
"Is Jordan coming?" I asked.
"He's grounded. His Mom saw his shitty report card." Aaron said.
Tommy laughed. "I told him to toss it." He said.
"Grounded? Screw that." I said.
"I'm sure you'll get grounded some time." Aaron laughed.
We stopped at a really crappy looking house. It was small and looked run down. "Your GIRL lives here? Looks like the strip club down the street from where I use to live." I said. "She must be a real winner."
I was shocked to see a tall gorgeous blonde girl with very slim legs walk out from behind the peice of shit house.
"She doesn't live there. That's an abandoned house. Nobody lives in it." Aaron said. "That is just where she meets us. We can't pick her up from her house."
"Why?" I asked.
"We all snuck out tonight, remember?" Aaron said.
I just nodded. "How stupid."
She opened the passenger door and climbed in. She slammed the door shut and Tommy pealed out down the street. I could smell her perfume and boy was it puke-worthy.
"Winona, this is Loralai." Aaron introduced us.
She looked back at me and smiled. "Your new sister?" She asked.
"No. The girl my parents decided to let live with us." He said.
"Your parents adopted her, numb nuts." She said. "It makes her your adopted sister."
I started laughing really hard. "Numb nuts. That's awesome." I said.
Winona looked at me strangly and turned back facing the road. "This is all new to her." Tommy told her.
She just looked at him with a dumb look on her face nodding.
"Is she a bitch?" I asked Aaron softly. He nodded.
"Excuse me?" She asked.
"I asked if you ditch." I said.
"Never." She laughed. "I'm going for highest rank. I'm not stupid."
I rolled my eyes. The jeep stopped and I looked out the window. There were tons of kids hanging out and drinking. There was a bonfire too.
"A bonfire in the desert. Sounds safe." I said as Aaron took my hand. I jumped down onto the dirt.
"Ricky." Aaron said as a guy walked up to us. He handed him a pack of cigars. Aaron pulled some money out of his pocket and gave him a few dollars.
"Ew." Winona said looking at them.
Aaron put his arm around me and we walked towards the fire. We sat down on a log and he lit up a cigar. He handed it to me and showed me how to smoke it. I inhaled and started coughing a lot. Aaron laughed at me and explained it to me again.
"It's not like a cigarette, sweetheart." He said.
"This won't get me high, will it?" I whispered to Aaron.
"No!" He laughed.
"Not even a slight headrush?" I asked.
"I don't think so. . ." He said.
"Damn." I said.
He laughed. "Let me grab you a drink." He got up and walked away.
"I'm Cirus." A guy said walking up to me. He held out his hand. I shook it and smiled. "I'm Lor." I said.
"You mind?" He asked holding out his hand.
I looked around. There was only rock music playing. Nothing you could really dance too. "Um, maybe later if they play music you can actually dance to." I said.
He laughed. "No. I mean do you want to share that cigar?" He said.
"Oh." I said. I felt myself blush as I handed it to him. He sat down in a small patch of grass next to me.
"I was told only old people smoke them." I said.
"Nah. It fits right in with the partying." He said.
"I agree." I said.
Aaron came back and handed me a drink. "What is this?" I asked.
"Mike's Hard lemonade." He replied. "Try it."
I opened it and took a taste. It was actually good.
"What's up, Cirus?" Aaron said.
Cirus laughed and handed me the cigar. A few people decided to try it too and liked it. By the end of the night, I was already the coolest girl in school and I hadn't even started yet. Everyone was calling me, 'That cool cigar chick'.
"Jordan!" I shouted with excitement when I noticed him getting out of a black truck. Some other guys got out with him.
"You already got her drunk?" He asked Aaron.
"I would like to have sex with you." I whispered into Jordans ear.
"What?" He asked.
I just nodded.
"Wow." He said.
"What?" Aaron asked.
"Nothing." Jordan said. Jordan smiled at me and walked by with his friends.
"What did you say to him?" Aaron asked.
"I think he may be able to help me with my very first goal." I said.
"And what is that?" He asked.
"I'm sure you'll find out soon enough." I said.
"You are really drunk. We should probably get you home." He said.
"Don't be a pooper." I said poking him in the nose.
"A pooper?"
"A pooper scooper." I giggled and ran off to where Jordan was grabbing a beer out of a cooler. He looked up at me and I smiled.
"Here?" He asked looking confused.
"Wherever." I giggled.
"Um. . ." He said. "You're slightly drunk. I think we should wait on that."
"Oh come on! Don't be a baby!" I laughed.
"No, Lor. Geez." He said. "I'll see you around."
He walked away and I felt like crying.
"Hey." Aaron said walking up from behind me. "Let's go."
I just nodded. We piled into Tommy's jeep and he dropped us off. Aaron had to help me up the stairs and into bed. I was not looking forward to the next morning.
