When Gwen and Morgan walked into the house, they were assaulted with the smell of alcohol and weed. Gwen wrinkled her nose, while Morgan looked around curiously.

"I never really pictured this as your scene," she commented, watching someone who looked like the definition of a frat-boy chug a bottle of vodka, a group of a dozen people circling him and cheering.

Gwen made a face.

“It wasn’t ever, really. This was more Mercedes’ type of party.”

Morgan cocked an eyebrow.

“Oh, was it?”

Gwen flushed and looked away instead of answering.

"Come on. I definitely need a drink," she said, grabbing Morgan's hand and leading her towards the kitchen.

Morgan followed her easily, still looking around like she was a researcher at a zoo. Gwen maneuvered herself around her old class president, who she had once seen doing cocaine in the bathroom, to snag a bottle of rum and a can of coke. She mixed the two in a Solo cup, going heavy on the rum, before turning back to Morgan. She held the cup up towards Morgan like an offering.

“Share?”

Morgan shook her head.

“I drove, remember? And considering the amount of rum you put in that thing, I think one sip would knock me out as designated driver.”

Gwen shrugged.

“Fair enough. “

For the next couple of hours, Gwen and Morgan wandered around the house party, making bets on who would be the next person to throw up and who would be getting engaged soon, who would be pregnant, who would be arrested for public urination. Gwen pointed out some people she recognized and offered short anecdotes to Morgan about their exploits in high school. Occasionally, she would take a sip from her drink, but for the most part, she was more than happy just to get drunk off listening to Morgan's deep belly laugh.

“She got high and drove straight into the pizza place by our school. Twice.” Or, “the two of them once egged the school, but they got caught because their phones automatically connected to the school’s wifi so they were able to find out who did it." Morgan seemed particularly interested in the story of the boy who had once left school for two weeks to go live in the woods behind the laundromat in the middle of winter.

"It was actually impressive; he had like a whole ass igloo out there," Gwen was telling her when Mercedes came up behind her and surprised her with a hug.

“Gwen!” she cried, ignoring Gwen’s quiet shriek. “Hey! I didn’t know if you were going to show up or not. I know parties aren’t, like, really your thing,”

“Yeah, well.” Gwen carefully extracted herself and moved to stand beside Morgan who had gone still. She gestured between the two of them. “I don’t know if you two have met. Morgan, this is my friend from high school, Mercedes, and Mercedes, this is my… step sister Morgan.”

“Nice to meet you, Morgan,” Mercedes said, shaking Morgan’s hand, who only offered her a nod. Mercedes turned back to Gwen, a glint in her eye.

“You said you were going to text me, back at the coffee shop, but you never did,” she pouted.
