You were never one to attend parties. They were loud, crowded, and everyone there reeked of booze and sweat. But one day, your best friend forced you to go to their party. It was at their parents house, who were out of town for the week. Your friend assured you that you’d know everyone there but when you pulled up to their house you seriously doubted it. There were many parked cars and you could hear the music from outside.

You reluctantly went inside, your ears immediately ringing from the obnoxiously loud music. You winced and put your hands over your ears, trying to find your friend. While trying to get through the crowd, you bumped into someone. Their drink (which was probably alcohol) spilled all over your clothes. You stepped back before sighing after realizing what happened.

The stranger looked surprised, immediately apologizing. “Woah, sorry about that.” He shouted over the loud music. You looked up and realized it was Percy, the captain of the swim team. He looked sober (haha no he wasn’t) and apologetic.
