Chapter Three
Joe’s POV
I took some punch, this party was going alright. Great music, cool people, but yet I still found it a little boring. Right now, Kevin was making out with Kim in the den, Nick was talking with Nicole and everyone else was slow dancing in the enormous living room. I drank my punch and filled my cup up again a few times. After a few cups, I actually found that the punch tasted odd. “What’s in this punch?” I asked the guy next to me.
“Oh, that’s not normal punch. There’s alcohol in it, loads of it.” He told me.
“What? Why?” I asked him.
“Well, no adults, no one around. The neighbors are all gone, so why not?” He explained.
“That’s insane! I just had at least five cups!” I said, dropping my cup on the table, a small trickle of the tampered punch leaked onto the table and soaked the tablecloth.
“Well, you only noticed now?” He laughed.
“Yeah, I guess I was too bored to realize,” I said. “Crud, this isn’t good.” I said to myself. I looked around; everyone had a cup of punch. It wasn’t going to be pretty later on.
Later…
I sat on the couch in Kati’s den; I felt quite odd. In the same room, Kimberly and Kevin were making out in the corner – they had the tampered punch as well – and a girl sat next to me at the other end of the couch. “Hey,” I said, trying to get a conversation going. She turned her head and looked at me. I was finally able to see her face. She was really pretty… in fact, she was hot.
“Hi.” She said, giving me a slight smile and looked down at the cup in her hands. She drank some of it and I stopped her.
“You… do know that there’s alcohol in it?” I said.
“That’s why Marni’s been so tipsy!” She said.
“Sorry?” I asked. She shook her head; she was obviously talking to herself. She put down her cup on the table and sighed deeply. What happened next was beyond my own control. I’m not sure if it was the alcohol, or just hormones, but it happened. I leaned in and kissed her passionately.
