and went into the kitchen, and out of nowhere I see Shelly at the end of the table playing beer pong. She looked over at me and yelled.
"Macy! Come over here and do a celebrity shot."
The whole room now looked over at me waiting expectantly.
"I don't know." I said.
"Come on. Please?" She begged.
Suddenly, the whole crowd erupted yelling "Do it!" and "Come on!"
I gave up and walked toward her as she handed me a ping pong ball.
"I don't even know how to play." I told Shelly.
"Just toss the ball and make it into one of those cups." She said as she pointed on the opposite end of the table.
I aimed as best I could and tossed it and sank it in a cup. Loud cheering erupted all over the kitchen. My face flushed as I smiled.
Shelly then stumbled over and put her arm around my neck.
"Hey, how about we get back home?" I asked as everyone went back to watching the game and talking.
"I just really want to sleep." she replied.
"Alright, where are your keys? I'm going to drive."
She drug me over to the couch and slumped down onto it.
"I don't know. Are they in my pocket?" She looked up at me.
So I dug into her front pocket jeans and sure enough I pulled out her keys.
I put the keys into my pocket and picked her up and pulled her arm around me. As I went to walk out the door, Mike stopped me.
"Hey, you’re leaving already?" he looked down at me with those gorgeous green eyes.
"Yeah, I need to get her home before she passes out on the floor." I said as I laughed.
"Yeah, well it was nice meeting you." he said as he flashed his smile.
"You too." I said bashfully.
I walked out to Shelly's car and out her in the passenger seat. We drove home in silence and as I looked over I realized that she had fallen asleep. We pulled up in her driveway and I glanced down at the dashboard clock as it read 11:49 pm. I got Shelly out of the car and pulled her up the front steps to her house and carried her in her room. I laid her down on her bed and stole one of the cigarettes she had hidden in her underwear drawer.
Normally I don't smoke. I mean, I've taken a few puffs off Shelly's cigarettes but never cared for one much. Whenever I try to tell her to quit, she always tells me it relieves her stress. I climbed out her window and sat on the roof. I lit the cigarette and took a deep puff. It's not so bad I thought. After a couple minutes of smoking It I decided to stub it out. As I was flicking it off the roof, Shelly appeared climbing out of the window.
"Tonight was a good night. Wasn't it?" She asked.
"Yeah. You still drunk?" I replied.
"yeah." She said as we both laughed.
We both climbed back into the bedroom. I changed into some pajamas and climbed in next to Shelly who was already sleeping.
I just couldn't get my mind off of Mike. He was so cute. Not to mention really nice. Those were the last coherent thoughts I had until I fell asleep.

Chapter 3

Over the next few days Shelly and I spent our time at the local swimming pool. We would talk, lie about, and gossip. It's almost like we didn’t just spend the last four years of our lives studying.
I never told her about Mike. I didn't want to ruin it when I didn't even know what was going on. I mean I didn't even know if he liked me for sure, and if there were any chances that he did, I wasn't going to jinx it.
"So, truth or dare." She asked me while we were lying out on our chairs.
"Truth." I replied.
"Is it true that you've never been kissed?" Shelly looked over at me with a bored expression on her face.
"I don't know why you asked me this question, you already know the answer. No, it isn't true because I kissed Jeremy Stone in fifth grade." I said while looking up at the sky.
"Fine, your turn." She reluctantly replied.
"Truth or Dare." I asked.
"I think I'm going to go with truth."
I swatted a couple flies away from me and pushed back my bangs that were getting wet due to the sweat beading from my forehead.
"Is It true..." Just as I was going to ask her a question, a bunch of girls came over to us that I recognized from the party.
"Hey, Its Macy and Shelly. What are you guys doing tonight?" A girl with long blonde hair asked.
"We don't know. We haven't really heard of anything going on." Shelly replied.
"Well, there's a party over at Duck Pond tonight. I guess it's a little ways out of town over at this kid Jason's family cabin. It's supposed to be awesome. There's going to be swimming, Fireworks, 2 working kegs, and Tons of people. You guys should totally come." The girl said very enthusiastically.
"Wow, It sounds like fun, I think we'll most likely check it out." Shelly replied back.
"Well, here's my number," she picked up a notebook and pen that was sitting next to Shelly and wrote down her number. "Just call me if you need directions or whatever." The girl said as she handed Shelly the piece of paper.
"Alright, thanks." Shelly said as the group of girls started walking away.
"Well," I said "That was weird and awkward."
"I met her last night. I was playing beer pong with her, remember?" Shelly asked.
"Sure." I said.
"Well, were going. That's for sure. I mean, look at it this way. We actually got invited." Shelly said with confidence.
That was one of those moments, where I was so glad I put make-up on and was wearing my new bathing suit.
"Alright, well, I think we should head over to my house and figure out what we're going to wear." Shelly said as she got up and started picking up her things, and piling them into her bag.
We got back over the Shelly's house and were up in her room and Shelly shuffled through her closet and dresser for things to try on. After what seemed like an hour Shelly had finally picked something out for herself and was now focused on me.
"How good are you at walking in heels?" Shelly asked.
"Why can't I just wear flats or something?" I whined.
"Stop being a baby. Fine, if you want to wear flats your subjected to wearing whatever I give you." She replied with a wicked smile on her face.
After seeing what she picked out for me, it wasn't so bad. It was a blue jean mini skirt with a pink halter top. I was surprised at how good I looked for once.
"Alright, you have to wear these pink flats.” Shelly handed them to me as I put it on.
We both looked in the mirror at each other and for once, you could tell we’re best friends.
“Alright,” Shelly announced. “Lets do this.”
We got to the party a little after ten. It was everything that the girl told us. There were lots of people milling around all over. Outside, there was a nice size bonfire and at least 20 people around it. Me and Shelly stepped inside where there was no space to walk around. We made it to the kitchen where the keg was and Shelly poured me and her a cup. We walked outside and went over to the bonfire. The girl who told us about the party was over there hanging out with a bunch of people. Shelly walked over there with me trailing right behind.
“I’m so glad you made it!” The girl turned and looked at us.
“Yeah, thanks Mariah.” Shelly told her.
“Is that keg beer?” Mariah asked as she scrunched up her nose.
“Yeah, we didn’t bring anything with us.” Shelly said.
“Well, hey, Kate bought me two fifths, so you and Macy can drink mine. Just follow me.” She said as she began walking over to a brand new porche. She opened the trunk and motioned for us to pour out our cups, so we did. She filled it half way with rum, and the other half with Coke. She stuck a straw in it and clapped her hands.
“Whenever you want some just ask me and I’ll come over here and fill them back up.” She said all chipper.
“Alright, thanks so much.” Shelly said.
“Yeah, thanks.” I replied.
“Don’t even worry about it.” Mariah replied.
We all three walked over to the bonfire and I took a sip of my drink and immediately cringed, but kept drinking anyways.
“Hey Macy.” Someone said behind me.
I turned around and saw Mike.
“Hey Mike, what’s up?” I said.
Shelly turned toward us and eyed Mike up and down.
“Hey, this is my best friend Shelly.” I said to him.
Shelly stuck out her hand and replied “Hey, You don’t live in Greenville, do you?” She said smiling.
“Actually, I just moved here. Dylan, the star quarterback is my brother. I’m living with him for the next year until I graduate.” Mike said,
“Wow, that’s so cool.” Shelly said to him still smiling.
“Well, Macy, Shelly, I’ll see you guys around.” He smiled as he started walking away.
“Oh, my gosh. Where the hell have you been
