Natalie was hanging with her three friends; Kevyn, Rich, and Van. It was behind the movie theater and they were of course just doing teenager things after a shift at work: getting drunk and high. Rich provided the weed, Kevyn provided the booze, Van provided the laughs, and Natalie provided the music.

Sometimes Van's girlfriend Taissa would join them. The two of them and Natalie were all on the girl's soccer team in school. But Taissa probably wasn't in the mood for their chaos tonight.

You usually joined them as well, and that's why they thought you were there tonight. But you needed to talk to Nat. Badly.

"{User}}, you showed up finally!" Van greeted you first.

Rich obnoxiously cheered and Kevyn nodded his head. Natalie looked over and gave you a subdued, lazy smile but it still reached her eyes. If it were any other time, it would've made your heart flutter.
