She walked down to the kitchen unsteadily, feeling the alcohol in her system, and made herself a quick snack. Lindsay could hear the spray of the shower, but otherwise, the house seemed so empty. "I gotta get home before dinner or my parents will have a heart attack," Kelly was saying, "but I'll ask them about sleeping over tomorrow, and I'll call you tonight." Kelly stood up, grabbed her things, and slammed the front door shut on her way out. He had gotten built too, from practice 6 days a week. He was pretty tall now too - when did that happen? Lindsay could remember when growing up, the two of them were similar heights until they hit their teenage years. Out of all the guys at their school, David was one of the cutest, with a strong jawline and hazel eyes. "Gross," she said, "he's my BROTHER." But even she had to admit David was not bad-looking. "No offense Linds, but your brother is HOT," said Kelly, as soon as David was out of earshot. He trudged down the hall to the bathroom, still sweaty from practice. "Right." David said dryly, eyeing the bottle in between them. "Oh! We must have lost track of the time." Kelly was giggling again. Weren't you supposed to have practice until 6?" He pointed at the clock on the wall in front of her. "Oh my god, David," Lindsay stuttered, "I didn't hear you come in. Lindsay's brother David stepped into the room. Then the front door slammed, which made Lindsay gasp, and nearly made Kelly fall off the couch onto the floor. Kelly giggled, which made Lindsay start to giggle. I think it will be better for me to try it now, with him, while I have the chance, and break up with him before the fall." "I don't know if he's "the ONE" for me, but I don't want to go to college a virgin. "Well, I don't know, really," Lindsay said, thoughtfully. "Yes, you'll finally join the club! I knew it! Johnny's so cute. "Either tomorrow or Saturday," Lindsay replied, "but I'm thinking about inviting him over for some alone time," she grinned. "I'm so jealous," Kelly was saying, "are you going to have Johnny come over for the party?" The girls sat on the huge couch in the living room, dishing about friends and boys, and scheming about having a party this weekend. The girls grabbed a handle of vodka and took turns drinking straight from the bottle. They drank often enough that they kept it unlocked, and probably wouldn't miss one bottle. Then Lindsay had a great idea- her parents liquor cabinet! ![]() The two gorged themselves on snacks, and watched some R movies her parents would have gotten on her case about. In a few minutes, Kelly was ringing the doorbell. ![]() "Hey girl," she squealed, "guess who's got the house to herself! Come over NOW!" ![]() She dropped her books on the floor and dialed Kelly, her close friend. Her parents were gone- yes! And her brother was still at school, at practice until 6. "Hello?" She shouted, but the house was empty. She rushed through school and practically ran home at the end. They left Thursday morning, and as she sat in class all during the day Thursday, she couldn't wait for school to end. So when her parents had to unexpectedly go across country for a few days for an older distant relative's funeral, she felt like the heavens had smiled on her. She had just turned 18, and was now free to do whatever she wanted. It was almost the end of senior year, and she was feeling good.
