@stringsonmyguitar requested a starter!
“So I’m not gonna go crazy and streak through the football field or something if I smoke this right?” Gwen felt stupid asking him the question, honestly, after-all it was just weed. She’d promised herself and the few people that actually cared about her in this shit town that she wouldn’t drink anymore after it happened. She kept her promise too, for a little while anyway. She told herself at first that a shot of whiskey at night before bed wouldn’t hurt. Then it started turning into two shots a night, then four and now she was sitting comfortably on half a bottle before bed and the rest in the morning. Did she feel like shit for it? Of course. Hence what led her to timidly approach Elliot, only because at the last party she’d managed to get roped into, she’d seen him smoking with a few of the other kids. There were other avenues of forgetting everything for a while besides drinking and she hadn’t promised to not peek down those roads. She like a fucking dweeb walking up to him while the halls were empty thanks to everyone being in their classes and asking if she could buy anything from him. A short conversation later and now they ditching beneath the football field’s bleachers and she was holding a joint in her hand. She kept looking between it and him like if she took her eyes off of it for even a few moments it’d morph into a needle of heroin or something. It was silly, really, that she of all people would be so terrified of doing drugs. Alcohol felt more...tangible, somehow, a sure-fire thing where she always knew the risks and effects. A few hours of forgetting that was miserable, blacking out and waking up in her bed, or the couch, or the front lawn ( wherever she landed that night ).
That was drinking, that was safe, but drugs? A completely unknown realm to her.
