Bestfriends Shouldn’t Know How You Taste

Chapter 9

“Whatever.” I shrugged nonchalantly then turned around  to look at the ma*s of teenagers. They looked utterly out  of their minds, drunk, high and hopefully not on drugs.  There were some I recognized from school but never  spoke to.

But there were some who looked too old to be in the  same age group as me. I feel a heavy arm drape around  my shoulder, the weight a bit uncomfortable. I turn  sideways to see the culprit. “Let’s go.” Ryan says  dragging me along to what looked like the kitchen.

kitchen didn’t seem to be as crowded as the living room  area. But the stench of alcohol was more prominent in  the air.

I looked around, spotting the big cooler that was filled  with different beverages. Ryan moves his hands off my  shoulder, thankfully. And darts over to the fridge. My  eyes almost bulge out of it’s sockets for the amount of  beers that were over packed inside.
