A Simple Soul

"Wait so how is it that you're bisexual?"

The matriarch asked as she sat on a stool next to the tub, there I was laying in submerged in warm and bubbly water. While one of the three mares used her hooves to scrub shampoo into my hair while another would take one of my hands washing them clean, my face had some sort of mask as I felt it becoming more cold and tight. I looked over at the matriarch as she sat there wondering how I knew about my sexuality. I thought about it for a moment, because I was never the type to talk about how I discovered myself through my sexuality. But since she did ask, and it would be rude if I didn't answer, I soon mustered up the courage to tell her how it all went down. Turning my head towards her, keeping myself laid back against the tub so the mare wouldn't have to grab a step stool in order to reach my hair. So while she scrubbed my hair, I would get the chance to talk about how it all went down.

"Alright, this is going to take a while to explain so prepare yourself."

I said making sure to adjust myself against the tub in order to be comfortable to tell the very long story ahead. The matriarch showing interest, as she would move a lower hoove over the other and her hind hooves on her cheeks as she would listen to what I was about to explain.

As I sat alone on a chair at my middle school's dance to celebrate our promotion into high school, I sat there wondering why I was here in the first place. Hardly any of my friends came to the dance, along with being forced out of my house here I am. I would push my glasses up against my face every time they would slip down, my hair looking like the seventies called wanting their hairstyle back. The ocean blue tuxedo I was wearing was completely wrinkly since not only was I thrown out of my house, so was my change of clothes in a black trash bag. After changing out of my normal clothes and into the tuxedo, I waited at the school for the dance to start. Now there I was sitting on a chair, alone watching as everyone else was enjoying the dance having fun with their friends and/or loved ones. Slowly the music faded and was replaced with a much more slowed down bop as all the couples started to get together and move along with the music. Slow dancing the rest of the night away, a couple of teachers walking around the dance floor and separating each student at least two inches apart, not intending to stop their dancing whatsoever. Meanwhile I sat there, staring at the floor quiet and alone, until I suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"Hey, is this seat taken?"

I was unsure at first if it was really that person I technically knew but I never really had a conversation with this person. But just to make sure the person matched the voice, moving my focus towards the voice I saw what looked to be the angel of my dreams. The five-foot-four beauty herself Veronica Prescott, standing there with a smile on her face. Veronica was that middle school crush every guy would dream of, and boy was I one of the many. We both had three different classes together but she was always those girls who hang out with a huge group and I was that one guy in that group but was the quiet one while listening to the conversations. But there she was standing in front of me as I looked up at her wondering if she was really talking to me or if she was talking to someone behind me. Only coming to the realization that the only thing was a punch bowl and some pieces of cake that no one bothered to grab. I was too I'm shocked over the girl of my dreams actually talking to me for once, just answering with a simple shake of my head. Seeing her move over next to me as she sat down looking around the room while I did the same, my hands on my knees trying not to look like some bumbling idiot going crazy over what just happened. Other than the music playing, it was quiet between both of us ultimately hearing her talk as she tried to start a conversation.

"So… how's the night going for you?"

She asked looking at me as she playfully bumps her shoulder against mine. Causing me to move forward a bit as I looked back at her seeing her smile and giggle a bit over my reaction as I gave her a smile back chuckling nervously as I spoke.

"I-it's cool could be better but you know… it's cool."

I replied as I gave her a nervous smile, all she did in return was giggle as if she was amused with my reaction, then all of a sudden she wrapped her arms around one of mine. Feeling her grip against my arm, now I was in complete nervous and panic mode, kind of like how you feel when some random girl just comes up to you and you're such an introvert that you have no idea what to do and what to say next that's exactly how I felt. Sitting there with her arms around mine made my free hand shake nervously, but shaking in secret so she couldn't see I was having some sort of nervous breakdown. As I sat there I look over towards her as she would look up at me smiling them asking me.

"What are you doing after the dance?"

She said as she hugged my arm, I sat up straight scratching the back of my head as I chuckled.

"I don't know, maybe go home, knock out for the rest of the night, you know the usual."

It was true, I never really thought about going anywhere besides the school's dance and back home. I thought about while she held my arm, my parents probably don't even care if I even make it home. Who knows, maybe I would just head out to someone's house, spent the night there, then in the morning I'd head home and they won't even care. But I was one of those kids were even if I did leave knowing that my parents won't know or care if I made it home, I knew in the back of my head I shouldn't even be where I was going. Veronica on the other hand just let out a disappointing awe as she leaned closer to me.

"Come on, there has to be something you want to do before promotion day comes around."

She said, feeling her one of her arms moving across my own arm as she would interlock her hand onto mine. Feeling her head on my shoulder.

"Wait, when's the part where you discovering your sexuality start coming into play?"

The matriarch asked as she along with three other mares would use a tape measure to measure out my body. I stood there finally out of the tub and dried off and that face mask removed off my face. Still feeling the pain of all my pores being ripped off my face feeling the cold air going through my naked body. Almost forgetting that there were four females in the same room near me as I felt the tape around every inch of my body, answering the matriarch with.

"It's after we both leave the school."

"Oh, okay please continue."

After the party was over, students making their way out of the gym as each teacher would make sure everyone got out in an orderly fashion, both Veronica and I had already left the gym and we were both sitting on the benches that were placed outside of campus. We continued talking about what we were going to after the party and now that the school was closed and everyone left it was just us two. We kept our hands locked together almost the whole night as we had a very lengthy conversation. Only to he interrupted by some random girl that came up to the both of us looking at Veronica as she said.

"Here you are, I've been looking for you the entire night. Who's this?"

She asked, obviously talking about me as she held my hand I looked at her having the sudden feeling that I knew her from somewhere as Veronica answered her.

"Ashley, this is Zachary, Zachary you know-"

"Ashley Thompson, sits a row behind me in English."

I answered in a very stauckerish way as she looked at me with an expression of both discuss and/or weirded out. That wasn't the only fact I knew about her, Ashley was the girl who I helped with on her English report. And by help I mean allowing her to look at my paper, allowing her to copy it from start to finish and claim it as her own. Now yes I knew it was coming considering she looked like the type of girl to use someone like myself for homework purposes. But hey, I was fourteen and wanted to fit in any way I could. As she would mad dog me, Ashley would look back at Veronica as she asked her.

"Well, I was hoping you were coming to Austin's after party."

"Oh crud."

Veronica responded as she would take her hand away from my own, covering her face after forgetting about this Austin's party. I sat there quietly, listening to the conversation between both girls. I knew that Veronica must have liked the Austin because she surely won't have acted like this in the first place. Which now definitely told me that I lost my chance with her as I sat there taking my glasses off as I cleaned them after fogging up over time. To which I heard Ashley stop me mid way before getting my glasses back on.

"Wait! Hold up."

She said as she stood in front of me, feeling her hand underneath my chin as she moved my head up towards her as she stared into my eyes. Turning my head from side to side as she gave me a devilish smile, taking my glasses off my hands and shoving them into her purse. Then pulling out a comb, fixing my hair from the seventies to a more modern hair style, feeling my hair go from stiff to a more soft and comfortable feel as she smiles putting her comb back into her purse. She then would grab both of my hands and pulled me off the bench standing up straight as she presented me to Veronica. She would look at me going from the lovable nerd to a more attractive boy in seconds as she stood up in front of me, mind you she was only a few inches shorter than me so we were both practically staring dead into each other's eyes as Veronica wondered.

"Ash...where are you going with this?"

"Don't you see V, if you take Zach to the party Austin will get jealous and he'll totally want you to go out with him."

She explain feeling her hands gripping against my upper arms seeing a huge smile appear on Veronica's face as I stood there, wanting to say something about the situation as I moved away from Ashley's grip and took a step back looking at both girls as I interjected with.

"Woah, woah, woah, wait a minute. I didn't agree to any of this."

"Come on it'll be fun."

Veronica reassured me as she stepped up in front of me, her arms replacing Ashley's as she gently grabbed both of my upper arms with her hands. Looking at me dead in the eyes as she would use that look that girls would use to get what they want as she continues to explain.

"You, me and Ash will go to his party, you pose as my date, then Austin will see how much I'm attracted to you. He'll get jealous, try to make a move on me and we can finally be together."

She said, sounding really excited over how she explained what was going to go down. However I felt that plan might not go as well as the way she makes it out to be. What if he wasn't interested? What if he tries to show he was the alpha male and we duke it out like the lions do? What if I don't want to go through with it because I've had this huge crush on her and I had no way to tell her the truth? But seeing the way she was so confident in her plan, maybe it was best for me to do what she wanted and not be selfish over some girl who may not like me back. So with a deep inhale and exhale I looked at Veronica, holding my arm out like some sort of escort giving her friendly smile as I said.

"Let's get you a stud."

"Umm pardon me baby."

The fabloient stallion said as I was now sitting on a chair. Wearing a robe so not to be sitting around completely naked. Now all four mares sat on their flanks in front of me, completely mesmerized into the story as I looked up at him combing my long now more rose hair as he asked me.

"By any chance were you planning on changing your hair color? I see some blonde poking out in your roots so I'm assuming this beautiful rose gold hair isn't your natural color."

She explained as he would comb my hair some more, seeing how long it had gotten. I thought for a moment, looking at my hair as I saw how nice the red slowly faded into a this rose gold color as I pondered for a moment. Wondering if I should change it or keep it how it is?

"Hmm, you know I would like a retouch on my hair. Maybe re-dye it red, oh and would you mind giving my split ends a trim. Not too much, I would like to keep my hair as long as possible."

I asked as the stallion smiles nodding before using his horn to levitate a small bowl, rubber gloves, hair scissors and a brush as he prepared himself for the dying process, but before he did any coloring like a child being given a huge piece of paper and a bucket of paint he started to trim the split ends of my hair as I felt him tugging on it a bit. The rest of the mares being extremely impatient over wanting to hear the rest of the story as the matriarch spoke up.

"Okay, okay, okay now continue. You and this girl pose as couples, then what?"

She recapped as the other three mares would move closer wanting to hear what comes next in my story as I chuckled. Leaning back against the chair allowing the stallion to work his magic as I continued.

"Alright, so after we arrived to Austin's house…"

As the three of us stood in front of this guy, Austin's house seeing how huge it looked just from standing outside. Veronica holding onto my arm as she looked up at me while we walked up towards the door as she recalled.

"Okay, remember you're my plus one and you'll try to make him jealous, got it?"

She said as I looked over at her, nodding in confirmation. And with the push of a button from Ashley, the doorbell rang as it echoed through the whole house. Waiting a few more minutes, the door then opened as we both saw the boy of the hours, the guy himself, the guy I will somehow make jealous over my 'date' as he spoke.

"Ash, there you are and this must be your friends…"

Austin said as he looked at both Veronica and I. He noticed her arms around mine, already I could see he was somewhat getting jealous over me, your average nerd somehow turned into this preppy fuck boy as my 'date' introduced the both of us.

"I'm Veronica, and Ash did say I could bring a plus one, so this is Zachary."

"Sup."

I said, altering my voice but ultimately failing as Austin smile at me. Soon he lets us enter his house as we took a look around seeing how big the inside of the house looked like as we noticed the house completely dark and empty. No party in sight as Austin would answer our confused looks walking only a few steps up the stairs as he said.

"Oh, the party is upstairs. Follow me."

He stated as he would lead upstairs, it felt like we were walking up three flights of stairs. My legs getting store just from all that as both Veronica and Ashley felt the same way, lucky they weren't wearing heels like more middle school girls were wearing at the dance as all four of us were walking down the hall. Passing at least three different doors as he leads us to an even bigger set of doors. While Ashley, Veronica and I stood in front of those doors Austin looked at all three of us like the host he is, he would introduce the area by saying.

"Ladies and Gentleman, welcome to the Crazy Dome."

He said as he would push the doors open, seeing a whole room full of kids from the school. Thirteen if I was correct as Austin would lead us into the room allowing us to take a better look around the room, then when we were out in the hall. Seeing a bowl of punch displayed out on a table along with a platter of crackers, slices of cheese and pieces of lunch meat. Yes if you're wondering, he did use almost ten to twenty packets of lunchables, you know for someone who lives in huge a nice house you'd think he had the money to buy some actual crackers, cheese and ham cut up into bite sized pieces but I'm not going to complain.

"Well, make yourselves at home, the games will start later towards the actual end of the night."

Austin said as we all gave him a nod as a confirmation, before seeing him walk away. While Veronica would let go of my arm, I would help myself with one cracker and some cheese as I had a little snack enjoying the musicless party. While I ate and would pour myself some punch I could hear both Veronica and Ashley talking, well obviously they were standing next to me but I couldn't help but listen into their conversation.

"You think it's working?"

"I don't know, maybe he's not doing it right."

"Or maybe he's just not into me."

As I heard Veronica and Ashley talking I would look around seeing Austin just talking with other kids. He was across the room so he could possibly see both us from where he was. Okay, now it was time to put Veronica's plan into action. After finishing both the snack and my punch I would walk towards Veronica as she looked at me. I put the plan into fruition, wrapping my arms around her as I would give her neck butterfly kisses, at first Veronica was confused and would even try and push me away but soon she noticed Austin looking over as he saw what we were doing. I smile as I saw it happen, continuing to kiss her neck lovingly as I heard Veronica giggle her hands on one of my arms as she kept saying playful, not yelling out no but loud enough so Austin could hear.

"Hehe, Zach stop, haha that tickles."

"Question, why attack her neck?"

One of my mares sitting in front of me asked, seeing her hoove up in the air as if she was a child in class. Before I try to explain why I did what I did, I felt the stallion wrap a bag over the top of my head as so that the chemicals in the dye would react better on my hair and the color popping better. Once the stallion was done trimming and dying my hair he would then join the mares as he sat down looking at me wanting to hear the rest of the story as I tried to explain only speaking like a stuttering mess.

"Eh…..uhm, well ...you see I…..I uhh ...Look I was fourteen and I always hear some girls have a sensitive spot on their necks. And seeing how the interruptions won't stop coming, I assume you don't want to hear-"

"Yes!"

All five equines reacted as they yelled at me, making me jump in my seat as I held the bag on my head so it won't fall off. Jeez for someone who hates speaking to a group of people, they were really enjoying the story as the matriarch asked.

"Please… continue."

"Alright... alright…"

I said as I held my chest, feeling my heart pounding against my chest after that shock of being yelled at as I sat got myself comfortable back in my seat. Clearing my throat, I was finally ready to finish what was left of the story as I continued.

"Well, after enough teased between the both of us and kissing exchanges between Veronica and I, the games that Austin had mentioned earlier were about to start…"

Austin had called the attention of the whole room as Veronica, Ashley and I stood there wondering what the hell was going to happen. All I know so far, is A; I'm not supposed to even be here, B; I was posing as my crush's date in order to make another guy jealous so Veronica could finally be asked by Austin to be his girlfriend, and C; He had games planned to finish off the night with a bang. So there we were, the three of us along with the rest in one big group as we all looked up at Austin waiting to see what he had in store for us.

"Well, as we all know I have purposes a game for all of us to play to end the night on a high note."

He stated as he was standing in front of what looked to be some sort of wheel being covered by a black tarp. I tilted my head wondering what he was planning as every now and then he would look over at both Veronica and I, giving us both a smile and not that friendly playful smile but a very malicious smile. This made me nervous as I held my own hand, slowly feeling them sweat between each other as I saw Austin moving out of the way to reveal the black tarp covered object behind him. I along with the rest of the group looked at him on confusion wondering what the hell was underneath the tarp, even though I had a pretty good idea on what it was. Finally after enough speculation Austin would grab a hold of the tarp as he looked out into the group before yelling out.

"Behold!"

And then be pulled the black tarp off the covered object as we finally got to see what was under it. As I expected, it was a huge wheel with a red pick on the top that chose what the player was going to do based on what the wheel gave them, with a huge title that said…

"The Wheel-Of-Misfortune!"

Austin interrupted my thoughts as he announced the wheel's name. Feeling uneasy as to what I signed up for. Why do I have the uneasy feeling that Veronica played me and she knows about my crush about her, only to bring me here to embarrass me in front of a percentage of the school? As I stood there thinking about the many different scenarios that could possibly happen tonight, Austin would explain the rules of the game.

"As the name suggests, each section of the wheel has a hidden misfortune behind these blank tiles. The red pick on top will choose which misfortune you will get once the wheel stops spinning, to which I, the host will uncover your misfortune and you will have to do the task at hand. Some will be simple tasks while others are more ...malicious to say the least."

He said as he would devilishly rub his hands together. Everyone in the room looked at eachother, some had the expression of 'hell yeah this'll be fun', while others faces read 'oh God what did we sign up for'. I was one of those who had that nervous expression on his face as I would look over at Veronica, waiting to see if she turns around and sees me trying to get her attention. But she was too busy talking to Ashley about how this might go really well in her favor. Finally I just grabbed her arm and pulled her to the side away from Ashley as she jumped over me pulling her to the side looking at me as she asked.

"What's up?"

She asked, wondering why I pulled her aside from Ashley as I looked back at her telling her how it is.

"Listen, I did not sign up for this. Hell I'm not supposed to even be here and you know that."

"Okay, and what do you want me to do? I didn't know he was going to do this. Hell I thought it was just going to be us four to begin with."

She said shrugging as she didn't want what to tell me, as if she didn't even care what happens to me at this. All she ever cared about was getting the attention of Austin as I looked at her. At that point I wondered why the hell was I talked into this in the first place? But most importantly, after hearing what her response over what I said made me really question, was she even worth it? As the both of us continued to talk, recapping the plan that brought me here in the first place we both heard Austin calling us out to the whole room as he asked.

"Is there something wrong Veronica?"

He asked, only calling out Veronica's name as I stood next to her. He obviously noticed us arguing and he wanted to make sure Veronica was okay, which made me look like the abusive date towards the rest of the party members as I stood up straight asking Austin.

"Yeah, she was wondering what we get out if we do or don't do the task?"

"Well that's a good question Zach…"

Austin respond as he would smack his hand together, rubbing after walking up towards the both of us as I noticed a very seductive step in his walk. Once he reached towards the both of us, standing next to Veronica seeing his arm wrapping around her as he pulled her close himself as he looked at me with a smile.

"If you do the task, you will receive one of these."

He said as he would pull out a purple bottle that had the word 'freebie' written across it as he presented it to the rest of the room. Hearing simultaneous awe coming from everyone as he explained what they obviously were.

"These are freebies every task you complete you'll get one of these if you don't feel like you can do the task you can use one of your freebies to get out of doing it. However, if you run out of freebies and you refuse to do what you got, you'll be asked to reveal your deepest secrets to the rest of us."

He stated as the whole room went quiet, some rethinking about even staying in the house while others now understood what the risks they were taking. Austin looked back at me as he smirked holding Veronica in his arms kind of like some sort of trophy that he won. While Veronica looked like she was going to faint in his arms, I was extremely pissed with the way he was handling her. Yes, we weren't actually dating but I felt as if he was doing this to say 'yeah I might just steal her from you if you don't mind'. Which meant two things, Veronica's plan was working and I was definitely losing my chance with her. Austin smiling at me before announcing.

"Everybody ready?"

And like that the game has started, randomly Austin chose everyone at random. Some of the misfortunes were innocent enough, like holding a handstand for a certain amount of time, being pushed around for five minutes or even being out in a really dark room for thirty minutes or more, everyone in the room having more than three freebies after going more than once. But soon the tasks were slowly starting to get harder as some of the freebies we've been collecting started to deplete and now it was Veronica's turn to go to spin. She along with some of the other girls in the room have used up all of her freebies as she would look at Austin smiling as she stood next to him.

"Whenever you're ready V."

He said smiling at her as I stood in the middle of the group my arms crossed over each other in annoyance as she would hold onto the edge of the wheel giving it a really good spin as we saw the wheel moving fast hearing it click with every passing tile. Soon the wheel started to slow down as we see it come to a complete stop.

"Alright, let's see what you got."

He said as he moved up to the wheel grabbing the tile that landed. Removing the white tile as he turned it around seeing what it said as I could see on it his it wasn't something to go home to mom to see if she is proud of you for doing so. Looking at Veronica before looking out into the crowd as he said out loud.

"Allow each male player to grope your boobs."

He said, pulling the tile down as he would look towards Veronica as the whole room went completely quiet. The girls whispering in discussing even the guys were very uncomfortable over what Austin had just read. I looked up at Veronica as I saw her covering her chest with her arms, appearing to be very uncomfortable with the situation. I knew I had to do something, but what was I supposed to do? Go up there and say knock it off with the risk of being called a party pooper? I mean this was in some way or anything sexual harassment at it's finest. I had to do something even if it meant being called a party recker. I would walk towards the front as I tried to budge my way through the huge group of kids, having a freebie in hand as I made it towards the front of the group. Showing the freebie to Veronica as she saw looking up at me as I said.

"Here, take one of my freebies."

"Sorry, you can't share freebies between different players. She either had to do the task or reveal a huge secret in front of the whole party."

Austin said as he would push my hand down, moving the freebie away from Veronica as would look at both Austin and I. I knew he wanted to touch her in that way since he knew girls wouldn't dream of revealing their secrets out to the public. So before she could respond, I would walk up to Austin as I claimed.

"You didn't say we couldn't."

"I didn't say you could either now did I?"

"Austin, you can't just make her do something she's not okay with."

I argued with him as he just kept that smug grin on his face crossing his arms over one and other. By now Ashley was alongside me as she was next to her best friend making sure she won't go through with it as I stood in front of Austin. What I said next was the most stupidest thing I have ever said in my life as I told him.

"Let me take her place."

Once I said that the whole group of kids gasped over what I just said, all surprised but Austin as he just laughed it off before saying.

"Are you stupid, you can't just take someone else's task."

"Then you give me one, name one out of your head and I'll do it."

I said as I crossed my arms over each other, unknowing what he was about to propose as he looked at me thinking to himself for a moment. The party going quiet as they waited to hear what he was going to say, after a few more minutes of silence Austin finally offered me something in exchange for Veronica's task as he smiles.

"Alright, Veronica doesn't have to do the task ...in exchange you'll have to for a five minute make out session…"

'Okay, so far it wasn't that bad.'

I thought to myself, sure it was cooties non the less but if it meant Veronica had a whole new vision of himself then he'll have to do it.

"....with a guy."

'oh crud.'

I thought as the whole room gasped, both Veronica and Ashley were also in shock as my confidence when to the Moon and down deep into the bottomless pit of the ocean as I looked at Austin. Seeing that smug grin on his face, feeling like he had finally stumped someone as he crossed his arms over each other, following his response up with.

"Come on Zach, we all know you have a gay side. Look I'll even let you pick one of the boys. That is unless you're a scaredy pants."

He said smirking as the group of kids started to chuckle to themselves over what Austin said. Now I was faced with the most difficult decision of my middle school life as I looked out into the crowd of people seeing the look at me already making assumptions on who I was going to pick. In the back of my mind I was thinking, where the hell was his parents and how are they allowing this? But if I've learned anything from these types of games, I knew there was a loophole in this task somewhere. Soon my confidence came back as I finally made my decision.

"Alright ...I choose..."

I said looking out into the huge crowd of pre teens as some guys were trying to his themselves behind the girls. Hearing both Veronica and Ashley try to talk me out of it as I looked over at them and away from Austin giving him a wink before I turned back towards the host himself as I finished my sentence with.

"...You Austin."

I said as I smiled, seeing his smug leave his face and was replaced with a nervous frown. Pre teen already whispering to themselves as they heard me say his name. Austin already trying to get out of the task as he pulled a..

"Wait, you can't choose me I'm not part of the game."

To which I replied back with.

"Oh really, because not too long ago you were wanting to touch Veronica's boobs."

"Yeah because it said allow all the boys in the room to touch her boobs."

"No, it said and I'm quoting you 'allow each male player to grope your boobs'. And as I recall you aren't in the game so…"

I said smiling as I had finally stumped Austin, the party members looking at both of us as they waited to see what was about to happen. Finally Austin just through in the towel as he said.

"Fine...five minutes."

"That's what you said."

I said, smiling as he moved closer to me. It was weird. Usually I would be nervous when I'm about to kiss a girl, because I've been to different parties where a game of spin the bottle would lead me to kissing some random girl and every time I did I'd get extremely nervous. But now it was different as I felt Austin lean himself into me, feeling his lips touching mine as the room went quiet. I myself leaned into the kiss as if it was some other girl. It was weird to say the least, because even though I do like girls something about kissing a boy didn't feel all that had as the timer went on. Both of us closing our eyes as we made out infront of everyone, soon feeling Austin relax getting into the kiss himself and so did I. My hands moving on towards his hips as his arms wrapping around my neck, it felt the kiss went on forever. While kissing him I thought to myself, hoping that his parents won't caught us exchanging sip. It was like karma knew what I was thinking as I along with the rest of the party heard an older woman's voice coming from the door.

"Austin!"

Immediately I pulled back as I whipped my lips, Austin doing the same. Everyone in the room gasped as we were all caught still up passed our curfew, then his father came in as he saw everyone in the room as he yelled out.

"What are all of you kids still doing up so late and not in your homes!?! Get out of here!"

And just like that the party was over as we l booked out of the room, down the three flights of stairs and out of the house. I especially ran as fast as I could out of that house and towards my way home. I made two big discoveries that night, one my parents didn't even know if I was home or not and two kissing a boy wasn't so bad after all.
