I looked at the tiny remains of my so called cigarette in disbelief, but I wasn't mad. "What?" is all I could get out. "Congratulation kid, you smoked your first j" Two-Bit laughed. Darry put his hand on my shoulder and asked me "How do you feel?"

"fine I guess, it's not that strong"

"Well you only had one" Two-Bit said

"I want more"

"Woah there buddy take it slow, wait a little and tell me how you feel" Darry said

"Aw come on Super-dope let the kid smoke." Two-Bit said

"He's my kid brother and I make the rules around here, don't complain or you want get a bit of what I got y'all" Darry said

"Oh shit, you did it again? Two-Bit asked, some how even more excited than before.

"You know it's tradition." Darry said

"What the hell are y'all talking about?" I asked

"you'll find out tonight if your still up to it." Darry said

"I guess I'll do it" I said

I walked back in side and soda jumped up and looked at me "Did you do it?" he asked "Yeah Two-Bit tricked me" I said. Steve looked away from the tv and said "Leave it to ol Two-Bit to pull that off". All of the sudden I'm thirsty as shit, I leave the room with out saying anything and go to the kitchen and drink two glasses of chocolate milk and grab the last coke, it was so good. My throat felt like sand paper. I walked back to the living room and sat next to Two-Bit who was now inside and got lost in the Mickey mouse cartoon, I usually don't care for it but it was so interesting.

The high wore off after a bit and I carved more. Soda, Steve and I went for a walk and they both smoked another joint. "I still don't see why today is so special." I said. "Don't put to much thought in it kido," Soda started "just enjoy it." we walked to the store and grabbed two packs of coke and a Galen of milk. On the way home I asked "So what are we doing tonight?"

"Were gunna smoke then go to the movies" Soda answered

"The whole gang?"

"yepp and were gunna try to score!" steve shouted

When we got back it was starting to get dark. We walked in to find Two-Bit passed out on the sofa, Darry high as a kite in his chair. Johnny was sitting on the floor, he looked sober. And Dallas was in the kitchen, most likely as high as Darry. "Hey there pone" Johnny said. "Hey Johnny. What's wrong with Two-Bit? I asked "Oh him he greened out about ten minuets ago. He'll be fine."

I walked in the kitchen and Dallas was standing in a pair of green boxers and a black teeshirt. "Hey just the guy I wanted to see!" he yelled. Oh no what dose he want? "Hey Dal." I said. "Will you um... Make me a sandwich?" he asked almost begging. Why don't you? I say to my self. "What ever Dally" I said.

"So you will!" he said smiling

"Just one."

"Thanks man I'm super hungry." he said

After I made him food we walled in the living room with the rest of the gang.

"Okay it's about that time." Darry said

"What'd you grab this year?" Steve asked

"Alright get this," dar said pulling out a wrinkly brown paper bag "I got an ounce of weed straight from Hawaii!"
