I had a routine.

When it comes to my hair and hygiene, I guess I use a specific routine on how to do it.

For example; I shampoo my hair 3 times before moving onto the conditioner. When I have the conditioner in my hair I put my hair in 4 braids with the conditioner still in my hair. I scrub my skin and then rinse off the conditioner and my hair feels soft and fluffy.

I only wash my hair every 2 weeks, because what's the sense of washing it every single week? That's just a waist of Shampoo and conditioner.

Plus I have extremely different texture of hair...it's complicated.

But today was Saturday and I promised Adrian I will attend some stupid party with him.

Why am I doing this? Um, who would pass up 30 dollars ? Plus skipping my chores for a month?!

I gotten dressed in something simples, though I made sure to shave my body...

I used my fingers to comb through my hair and decided to leave it down.

Last night I put my hair in little braids and when I took it out today, it came out super curly and bouncy.

I sprayed a bit of perfume and just grabbed my phone and car keys.

I looked at the clock and it was 10 pm.

Step one of sneaking A shade out of the house Operation. Aka SASOFTHO but we shortened it down to SASO.

I texted Adrian to see if he was ready and he texted back he was.

I slipped off my shoes and tip toed down the stairs.

Dad was sitting on the couch watching a football game.

I closed back my bedroom door after re entering it and stuffing my pillows under the blanket and placing a blown up balloon and a wig, setting everything to place.

Once that was done, I quietly walked over to Amanda's room.

I checked to see if she was sleeping and she was. Ok. Check.

Now I headed to Adrian's room.

I knocked lightly on the door 4 times then a pause then 3 times again.

He cracked the door opened and I slipped in and closed it shut. I saw he set up his bed the same way and turn off all the lights.

"Through window, jump and run down the block right?" I whispered.

Adrian nodded. "Yeah, after dad gotten home I parked the car down the block. He saw It in the garage so we should be good right?" I nodded.

"Ok, so who's going first?"

He formed a fist and placed it over his other hands to start rock paper scissors.

"You shove that rock up your ass hole and tell me which one covers the other." I growled. "Asshole."

He sticked out his tongue and I tried to grab it and yank it out of his mouth.

He jumped back and I pushed him on the bed, making a huge thump sound.

We paused and I cracked open Adrian's door.

Dad was looking up the stairs but when something happened on the television, his attention went back there.

"Just go you big fat baby."

"Oh i'm the fat baby? Let's see who the baby will be after I sn-"

"Snitches get stitches, and the stitches will be very.. very deep."

I ignored him and went over to the window, I dropped my shoes on the ground and they landed successfully. Hope I could get the same opportunity.

I looked down and took a deep breath. I started climbing out, grabbing onto the pole.

Soon I used both my feet and carried myself on the edge. I didn't look down and tried very carefully to swing myself onto the tree.

"Just close your eyes and picture Oreo's." Adrian whispered. I nodded and closed my eyes picturing a basket full of them waiting for me at the tree.

"There you go!"

I opened my eyes to see myself half way to the tree.

I grabbed the briskly branch and used my feet and quickly jumped onto it.

The tree swayed a bit but then it became stiff like it was before I was hanging on it.

I looked at Adrian and laughed. He smiled and hurried me to the ground.

I nodded and did the easiest part and crawled down, dusting off my body once I landed on the floor.

I slipped back on my shoes and looked up waiting for Adrian to do the exact same thing I did.

"This is all your fault." He hissed as he clutched his back.

I scoffed, driving down the highway. "My fault? You should of followed my orders and take your damn shoes off."

"Hell no. I'm not irresponsible like you. Just dumping my shoes any and everywhere. These Jordan's cost a whole lot of money just to be thrown on the grass covered floor."

I glanced down at his Air Jordan 19 Melo Flint. It was grey and it matched his outfit.

I groaned. "What exactly is this party?"

I wasn't so keen on parties. I didn't invite Liv for a reason because I knew she would one day snitch without even knowing it.

"It's like a college Bon fire." He looked at me. "Let's just say to celebrate the end of the year."

I rolled my eyes and turned left. "End of the year for what? What's the celebrate? I just can't wait to get out of Highschool."

"Please, I would go back there. Much easier."

"Whatever."

We soon pulled up and might I say... it was packed.

I could see the fire from here and people surrounded it drinking and laughing.

Cars filled the Lots and there were couples or groups of people already drunk.

One couple was even going at it at the back of the truck. I cringed.

"Do you-"

"We will never speak of that."

I nodded. "Noted."

I exit the car and Adrian threw his Jacket at me.

I raised a brow. "What's this for?"

"Your showing too much skin." He grumbled before leading me to the fire.

I smiled and slipped on the ripped jeans jacket. In the back it had his name printed on it and I remembered getting this for him on his 18th birthday.

It was way too big but I liked it.

I stood besides him and accepted a red cup. I sniffed it and looked up at him in confusement.

"Simple rum and coke. Don't worry." He winked.

"You know when a person says, "Don't worry" they should worry."

He rolled his eyes. "Just drink the damn thing."

I took a sip and shrugged. "Eh. It's ok."

"No."

"Oh Come one!" Thomas whined. "All the kids are going."

"And what does that have to do with me?"

"Because... Don't you want to live a little? When's the last time you've been out."

I rolled my eyes. "If I wanted to be out I would of gone to the club. But I don't want to go out." I folded my arms. "Plus, even if I did, which I don't. Why would I go to a college bonfire?"

He smirked. "Think about it. Your Mate is a teenager. 18 I heard? She might attend since her brother is a college student. Think about it! Plus you barely look 24. You look... 20 if most."

He walked over to me and looked up. "Shave the beard, maybe fix the hair and dress up more... Normal and you'll fit right in."

"Your extremely weird for wanting to crash a college party. Your 28 years old for god sakes. Don't you have a life?"

He shrugged. "Yeah. It's about crashing College student's parties now let's go!"

He stopped. "Wait, we have to freshen you up a bit. You look horrible. Chop chop! Move that sexy ass of yours!"

After slightly trimming my beard and fixing my hair by just running hands through it and trimming that too, I got a whole new makeover.

"Perfect. Now let's go."

I groaned. Moon goddess, please tell me why you gave me such a child as a beta?

I hopped into the black car and started driving towards my death.

"Alright guys!" Some girl yelled. She stood on the wooden table and clapped her hands. "Let's play a game!" She shook her body a bit and everyone starting cheering. I continued sipping my drink.

"So it would go like this. Girls will be blindfolded and guys will have to call out random names. Whoever gets the girl name right get's there number. Only if your single ladies! Don't want any fist fights tonight."

I chuckled. "NOW WHO IS READY TO GET STARTED?!" She yelled. People starting cheering and I swear a few droplets of there drinks landed on me.

I felt my hips being bumped and I looked at a drunk Adrian. I narrowed my eyes at him, already not liking his glaze.

"I need volunteers. Come on ladies live a little."

"You should do it."

I shook my head. "Oh hell no. Why should I do that?"

"Because it would be fun. You heard her live a little. Aren't you the wild And Crazy Anita?"

He slurred my name a bit, pressing his shoulders on my head. "For your big brother?"

"You know your suppose to be keeping boys away from me. Not pushing me towards them." I grumbled.

"Oh don't worry." He laughed. "I'll make sure no one get's your name right."

Before I could process what was happening, I was being lifted off and thrown over a shoulder and was heading in the direction of the group of girls.

I punched Adrian back with all my might. "Adrian let go of me! Someone help me! I'm being kidnapped."

A few people looked at me weirdly while Adrian shook me. "Shut it would ya?"

I continued punching his back, squirming out of his grip. But it was no use. I was already to high and being held to tightly.

Soon he set me down and when I tried to run he kept me locked in place. He leaned down in my ears as he whispered my language in my ears.

"60 dollars by the end of the night for coming with me."

I smiled widely. I took out my hands and he shook it. "Nice doing business with ya." I pushed him away and pointed at the blondie who was yelling. She looked at me with amusement, as I yelled my next words.

"LET'S GET THIS GAME STARTED PEOPLE!!!"
