BY THE TIME WE ARRIVED, I stepped out the car, my foot coming in contact with the vibrating ground coming from the house we parked in front of. I shut the door close, jogging towards my best friend who stood a few feet away from me waiting for me. I kept my phone in my front pocket, so no one could come up behind me and take it without me noticing. I didn't want to bring a purse with me tonight, knowing myself very well, I'll probably end up losing it within seconds after stepping inside.

"Aren't you excited? This is our last high school party, can you believe that?" My best friend, Marianna spoke with wide eyes and a huge grin plastered on her face.

Marianna has been my best friend since we were eight years old. We met in our 2nd-grade class by fighting over a blond Barbie doll. It was recess time, I brought a Barbie doll from home. It was the first day of my new school and I was afraid, so I decided to bring my doll with me to help me feel safe. I knew we couldn't bring toys from home, but I did it anyway because I didn't give a damn. Marianna, on the other hand, saw me playing with my doll and thought I stole it from her since we had the same exact doll.

I remembered her snatching the doll from me claiming it was hers and threatened me to snitch on the teacher, but she didn't because she knew our teacher was going to question her why she brought a toy in the first place when we knew we weren't supposed to. I proved to her it was my doll when I slipped the doll's shoes off, showing her my initials in my crappy crooked handwriting. I found it cool how Andy from the movie 'Toy Story' could write his name on his own toys. Back then I couldn't write my full name, so I just wrote my initials.

Marianna showed me her doll that she kept in her backpack, she wrote her initials on the same exact doll I had. We hung out together during recess time, hiding behind a big tree where the teacher couldn't see us and play with the same toy we each had. Throughout the years, we've gotten closer and became best friends. We did reckless things together; snuck out in during our high school years and go to a party, stole alcohol from our parents and drink together, we would steal lots of junk food from gas stations. Her job was to distract the old man by flirting with them while I stuff food in my backpack. We got caught a few times but we got away with it. She's practically my partner in crime.

"Do you think college parties will be better?" She questioned me.

"I hope so." I shrugged my shoulders. "We'll see." When we reached the doorstep, I didn't hesitate to ring the doorbell. Marianna tugged her black tight dress down to reveal some more cleavage. She smirked at me, nudging me until I copied her actions, pulling my short tight dress down.

"Girls! My girls!" Blake shouted, opening his arms for us to walk into. Marianna was the first one to greet him, she giggled when his hand came down and smacked her right on the ass. She pulled away from him and looked at me. "Hey, babe." Blake hugged me, planting a kiss on my cheek. "Y'all brought the goodies?" A smirk grew on his lips, taking a big gulp of his drink. Marianna opened a backpack she carried, she pulled out a bottle of vodka along with a jar of cannabis. "That's why you two are my favorite." He took it from our grip, leaving us another kiss on the cheek before he walked off. "Are you girls coming or what?" He glanced over his shoulder at us, Marianna and I glanced at each other before jogging after him.
