Heidi glared at me and
Amy, fire in her eyes, and we took that as a sign
to rush back downstairs.
The music started to hurt my ears again. I saw a
crowd gathered at the ‘dance floor’. I
saw Tracy among them and she looked really scared. In
fact, everyone looked a little scared, except the few
that were laughing.
“What’s going on?” I said, pushing
through the crowd as I got up to Tracy.
I gasped when I saw a guy lying on the ground, his
mouth foaming.
“WHAT HAPPENED?!” I screamed.
Tracy’s face was red and she looked like she
was about to cry, “I don’t know…
But he drank the liquid in the thermos thing
and—“
That’s all I could hear before I felt chills
running through my body. The music seemed to get
louder, and I felt like my head was under tremendous
pressure, and I felt like my heart was going to jump
out of my chest any second. I turned around and
pushed my way out of the crowd, and ran upstairs. I
got my bag and quickly changed into my normal clothes
and texted my mom, asking her to pick me up at the
intersection of Tracy’s street. Hopefully, then
she wouldn’t be able to notice that there was a
party going on.
I ran outside and saw police cars starting to pull up
into Tracy’s driveway. I felt dizzy. This
couldn’t be happening; this was surreal.
My legs were shaking so badly, I felt like I was
gonna fall down. People that were hanging out outside
of Tracy’s house, that were doing drugs, making
out, etc. freaked out at the sign of police and
started running away. I ran with them, my vision
blurry, and my heart pounding. All I saw was several
police men, getting out of their cars and chasing
down the kids. The tears came, this was not
happening. All I remember was that I ran as fast I
could towards the intersection before I felt two
hands grab mine and cuff them up, before I blacked
out.
