It was a cool summer evening, and excitement was in the air. With summer break the students at Cherryton were free to do whatever they pleased, no rules to follow and no watchful eyes over them. Such was the case with some sophomore and junior students. They were throwing a house party at Bill's house, since his parents were out of town. Everything was going swimmingly, people were chatting, drinking and having a generally fun time. But like any high school party, something was missing. Bill, Aoba, Els and Riz were sitting on his couch, talking.
-"Man this is going great so far, people seem to be really having fun." Bill pointed out, satisfied at his party throwing capabilities.
-"Yeah, even the girls are happy." Els added, giggling.
-"Can't help but feel like something's missing though..." Bill pondered. Everyone was silent for a bit.
-"You guys wanna smoke?" Aoba broke the silence. Everyone on the couch looked at him.
-"Oh man sure, that'd complete everything!" Bill excitedly said.
-"Bet, 15000 yen worth gonna be enough?" Aoba asked, pulling out his phone.
-"Maybe, Riz's a big dude he can probably out smoke all of us." Bill chuckled. Riz laughed.
-"Don't worry, it's gonna be more than enough for all of us." Riz spoke with his thundering voice.
Aoba went into his contacts and picked a number. He put the phone up to his ear, awaiting an answer.
-"What?" Keanu answered, a bit annoyed.
-"Hey man, can you get us some weed? 15000 worth." Aoba asked.
-"No." Keanu responded.
-"Oh come on, please. You'd really be doing me a favor." Aoba pleaded.
-"Why do you even need 15000 worth." Keanu asked.
-"We're at a party, it's for like five of us." Aoba explained.
-"Yeah well the five of you can go ahead and find another dealer." Keanu brushed off.
-"We don't have anyone else, come on. You might as well stay here with us, there's booze, women and good company." Aoba bargained. Keanu was silent for a bit.
-"Fine." He eventually cracked.
-"Great! I'll text you the address!" Aoba excitedly spoke. Keanu hung up the phone.
An hour or so later, the front door opened and Keanu walked inside. He was greeted by a few people before making his way over to the bar. He grabbed a bottle of rum and a bottle of coke and made his way over to the living room. He walked through the crowd to the couch where Aoba was sitting.
-"Keanu! What's up man?" Aoba greeted, reaching his hand out. Keanu shook it, sitting on the couch next to him. He turned and shook Bill's, Els' and Riz's hand as well. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small plastic bag full of weed onto a coffee table in front of the couch, along with some rolling papers.
-"Ah awesome!" Bill cried out, reaching into his wallet.
-"Nah, keep it." Keanu told Bill.
-"Ha ha-ha! I love this guy!" Bill laughed loudly, giving Keanu a bear hug (Even though he's a tiger, ain't that a bitch?)
Aoba rolled up a joint and lit it, passing it around in a circle around the couch. Keanu poured himself a drink and enjoyed himself. Some time passed and everyone was sufficiently wasted.
-"Yo who's at this party anyways?" Keanu asked Bill.
-"Ah I don't know man, mainly drama club, and also whoever was fun enough to invite." Bill responded, giggling.
-"Well I'm gonna go freshen up a bit." Keanu replied, getting up from the couch.
Keanu finished his drink and walked over to the bathroom. He got inside, locked the door and pulled out a small bag full of powder from his pocket. He poured some onto his phone and made two lines. He rolled up a 10000 yen note and snorted both of them. His head recoiled back. He inhaled a couple of times through his nose and let out a sigh of relief.
-"This can't be good for me but I feel great." Keanu talked to himself.
Keanu walked out of the bathroom and made his way towards the kitchen. There were some people talking there. He moved through them and walked on over to the bar, pouring himself another drink.
-"Keanu?" A female voice spoke from behind him. Keanu turned around.
-"Hey. Juno, right?" Keanu greeted.
-"Listen, I'm so sorry about what I said to you at the meteor festival. It was a misunderstanding. I didn't mean to offend you..." Juno apologized.
-"What'd you say to me?" Keanu asked.
-"You.. Don't remember?" Juno asked.
-"Not at all." Keanu replied.
-"But what I did clearly upset you, and I felt guilty all this time..." Juno continued.
-"If I remembered every mean thing anyone said to me I wouldn't have no friends now would I? I ain't upset now am I?" Keanu asked, chuckling.
-"Well...no you aren't..." Juno stammered.
-"Then don't worry about it." Keanu shrugged off, sipping his drink.
-"Well... I'm glad you're this forgiving! It's a very good quality to have." Juno complimented.
-"Yeah I got plenty of those." Keanu joked. Juno giggled.
-"Oh, you're funny. Hey have you seen Legoshi lately?" Juno asked. Keanu looked at her condescendingly.
-"No I haven't. We don't go out attacking gang safe houses in our free time anymore." Keanu answered. Juno sighed.
-"Shame...I have to speak to him as well." Juno spoke, clearly feeling a bit down.
-"Yeah good luck with that, I'm going out for a smoke." Keanu pushed her aside and walked out to the front yard. He lit a cigarette and browsed social media on his phone. He finished his drink, and he could feel a bit buzzed.
After a minute or two a coyote walked up next to him, holding a bottle of rum.
-"Hey man, you got a cigarette?" He asked. Keanu put his phone in his pocket and pulled out his box of cigarettes.
-"Here ya go." Keanu gave him a cigarette.
-"Ah thank you dude." The coyote spoke, lighting his cigarette. "Durham, nice to meet you!" He introduced himself, reaching his hand out toward Keanu.
-"Keanu, pleasure's all mine." He shook his hand.
-"Hey I think I know you. You hang out with Legoshi?" Durham asked.
-"Yeah me and him go way back. We know each other since kindergarten, we were always ride or die, like brothers." Keanu answered.
-"Whoa! Really?" Durham exclaimed in surprise.
-"No." Keanu killed his fun. "We fucked the same girl, have the same snobby BFF, the same doctor, and we killed a dozen mobsters that one time." Keanu explained. Durham was speechless.
-"Damn." He eventually spoke.
-"So what's up with you?" Keanu asked.
-"Well I just came here to get drunk since it's summer and I don't feel like staying at my dorm." Durham explained, sipping rum from the bottle. He then offered the bottle to Keanu.
-"I think we'll get along." Keanu replied, taking the bottle.
A few hours pass and the party was at an end. Everyone was either passed out or leaving. Durham and Keanu were laughing, drunk as shit. They walked outside and Keanu tapped his pockets.
-"Shit, I forgot that my car's at Gouhin's." Keanu groaned.
-"Ah ya can't even drive like this." Durham chuckled.
-"Well I got like a 3-hour walk now that there're no trains so see ya!" Keanu started walking away.
-"Wait man, wait." Durham stopped him. "Cherryton's closer and Jack's visiting family just sleep in his bed tonight." Durham slurred. Keanu stopped for a bit, his legs almost giving out under him.
-"Uh ok. Ok. We're going to Cherryton." Keanu replied and started stumbling in Cherryton's direction.
-"Yay! Sleepover!" Durham drunkenly yelled. Keanu laughed with him.
The pair stumbled down the street, laughing and singing. Eventually Durham stopped to vomit on the sidewalk a bit. They kept marching forward, falling over a couple of times. After a long and treacherous journey of 2 kilometers they made it to Cherryton. They climbed up to dorm 701 and Durham barely unlocked the door. They walked inside and both fell on the floor. They got up and walked to the center of the room.
-"Ok so you're sleeping up there that's Jack's bed, Legoshi's asleep down there on his own bed. I'm just gonna...lay down for a bit." Durham slurred, passing out on his bed.
Keanu yawned and stripped down to his boxers, throwing all his clothes on the floor. He started climbing the ladder to the top bunk before stopping halfway through.
(Man, imagine fucking on this ladder, that'd be wicked. Kinda like reverse cowgirl) He thought to himself and drunkenly chuckled. He laid down on the top bunk and covered himself with a blanket, slowly drifting off to sleep.
