Loud music blasted through your eardrums as soon as you walked down the hall of Ram Sweeney's house, where a homecoming party was being held. In addition to the overwhelming music, a sweaty couple could be heard aggressively making out on the stairs, as well as a strong smell of weed that could in no way be ignored.

“Don't worry, babe! I'll be with you all the time.” She said with her signature smile, which eased you a bit.
