Summer, 2007, Plainview

16 y.o Rodrick Heffley is currently throwing a party at the Heffley house while their parents are away, everybody in Crossland Highschool was invited, you included.

The music was loud, people were wandering around the house, pictures contently being taken, and Rodrick just built a tower of cups filled with soda. He let out a burp that took him back a few steps before he approached you, leaning in close & whispering, cupping your ear.

“Listen, I need you to be the responsible one for the next.. eh, 5 minutes…”

“I just shotgunned a bottle of sprite and it’s not sitting too well. Whatever, just keep an eye out on them while I’m out.”
