As I walk to the sidewalk of my street, Ore Mine Road, a cat purrs and comes trotting over to me. Startled, I run down the street. Cats are terrible, ferocious and mean. I can't stand them! As I finally walk up the pavement of my house, I'm relieved to find that I am home alone. I open the door slowly, and turn on the lights. Immediately I go to the kitchen and set my stuff down on the table. I set my homework in front of a chair and start to work. 'Alright... Negative twelve equals...' I trailed off in my own thoughts when I heard people laughing. I get up annoyed and walk to the front door. As I open it, I see my friends playing out in the yard. 'Hey guys! What're you all up to?' My best friend, Josh, came up to me. 'We're just out here playing... What about you?' He took his hand and wiped the ginger hair from my face. I smiled. 'Im just trying to do homework...' Lauren, my best girl friend, took us both my the hands. 'Josh, we have to introduce Cupa to the -Thing-, right?' He looked confused, then seemed to remember. 'Oh yeah... Cupa, come with us. We're going to Lauren's.' he took my hand and we walked to her house.
When we got there, they led me down to a basement where many colorful cups were arranged. 'Cupa, which one should we drink?' I looked at the cups with uncertainty glinting in my eyes. 'Er.. I'm not sure... Blue?' He smiled and handed me and Lauren a blue cup and took one himself. 'Alright, cheers!' We all bumped cups and drank the liquid. At first it was bitter, and tasted tart, but after thirty seconds it started to taste sweet. Then everything started to get blurry and slow mo, and everything seemed to be funny. Me and Josh sat on the couch, laughing at nothing. He caressed my face then pressed his lips against mine. Then everything went into a dark and dissolving darkness...
