Their Night Out

Arriving with Dread

Capri insisted that Idris and Adriel have a night out at the Caressla Nightclub. He said it would be a great place for them to unwind a little and enjoy themselves. Maybe even get lucky. Idris had a sense of dread hovering over him as they found a parking space. The letters shoned bright on the front of the place and you could see some of the set up from the windows. People were on the balcony as well. Idris took Adriel by the hand before he could run off and lead him to the front door. They went inside and Idris could feel his stomach sink. Adriel, on the other hand, was full of excitement and was eager to explore the place. There were lights hanging on the walls. Music was playing. Tables were set up, covered by white or red cloths. In the middle was an area with chairs and loveseats, only a few. There were tables on both sides of the room with snacks and drinks. Some people were in the corners, sneaking and passing things around or making out with one another. Some were going up the stairs or coming down them. They seem intoxicated..Idris thought to himself. He soon felt himself being dragged along by Adriel.

The first place they went to was one of the tables where there were three bowls filled with a liquid and ice and bowls of popcorn, chips, pretzels, and more. Cups were in stacks along with napkins and plates. Adriel looked at everything, wide-eyed and wondering what to choose. "What do you think, Idris? There's even brownie bites!" Idris tried to smile. "Whatever you want to get. I might have some popcorn later. Right now, punch is okay." Adriel grinned and grabbed a plate, throwing a few brownie bites and some pretzels onto it. He handed the plate to Idris and went back to get punch for the two of them. Once he was finished, they went over to a table where they could sit down and Adriel could enjoy his snacks.

I should try to lighten up some for Adriel's sake. He's really excited to be here and I don't wanna be a damper on his fun. Idris thought to himself. Adriel picked up one of the brownie bites and looked at Idris. "I know you said you'd eat later, but do you wanna try them? They're really good!" Idris accepted it and Adriel gave it to him. Idris took a bite out of it. "It's good..really sweet though."

"I love it! I wanna do so many things! Games, exploring, try more of the food, all of it! Even what those people are doing." He said, pointing to a few people in the corner of the room who were making out.

"Adriel, there are other things you can do." Idris replied, giving a look of concern.
