Still, she’d done some pretty stupid stuff that she regretted now and she didn’t want Annie to go through what she had. And she’d smartened up before things could escalate-to raves and drugs. Only she’d been younger, so boys hadn’t been as much of an issue. Her grades fell and she’d started hanging around with the wrong crowd, getting into minor kinds of trouble. She’d gone through a difficult time herself after her mother died.
She knew Annie was angry and probably depressed she’d seen it the night of the baseball game. A fog of smoke hung over the room, and Courtney recognized the pungent scent of marijuana.Īlmost immediately Annie and Chris were on the dance floor. They seemed oblivious to what was going on around them. Other people were on the side, guzzling drinks-bottles of water, it looked like, and beer. After a few minutes, Courtney’s eyes adjusted and she strained to see what was happening around her. The warehouse was dark and the music so loud it was actually painful. “No, thanks…I, uh, think I’ll just watch the first time.”Īnnie glanced at Chris, who shrugged. “Don’t worry about it,” Annie assured her. “You ever done ecstasy?” Chris asked, looping his arm around Annie’s neck.
