I made a mistake. Sprinkles' time in the bathroom had run up. It was only twenty or so minutes, but the party had already shaken up his nerves enough to make him hide in the bathroom. He was hoping to hide until he felt better, yet his dizziness never left. Now some guy was knocking on the door wondering what was taking so long.

Sprinkles rushed out, keeping his head down so he didn't have to face a judgemental stare. He felt like a mess as he wandered through the party, trying to not look too out of place. As if that was possible when everyone else was dancing or chatting or playing games, while Sprinkles stood around awkwardly.

"Hey, there, Sprinkles," Bel said in greeting and with a wide grin as she casually siddled up beside the nek0, wearing tight washed out jeans, a low cut tank top, and stiletto ankle boots. She had noticed the cheerleader when they arrived a while ago, but they had disappeared before she had a chance to say hi.

"I saw you arrive earlier, but you kinda vanished before I could even say hello," Bel explained as she took a sip of her third, maybe fourth, beer. She had lost count actually as people seemed to be constantly replacing the beer in her hand as quickly as she drank them and consequently, Bel was feeling giddy and very welcoming towards everybody at the moment.

Sprinkles didn't expect to see someone he recognized. Actually, he hoped he wouldn't, specifically so anything embarrassing he did wouldn't be placed with a name. Still, why did it have to be Bel of all people? She was on the cheer squad and on Aisha's good side. Sprinkles didn't have a chance to mess up now.

Forcing on a smile, he gave a stiff wave to his teammate. "A-Ah... Hey, Bel. Sorry about that. I got a bit nervous and hid for a bit." Sprinkles couldn't help but notice the smell of alcohol on her. Maybe things would go better than he expected. Then again, maybe he looked even lamer with his glass of water."Are you... drunk?"

"Why were you hiding?" Bel asked with a slight frown as she finally noticed their body language and posture. The idea of Sprinkles feeling the need to hide at a party like this seemed, well, kinda sad, and in a way, this resonated with Bel so much that she decided, at that very moment, to correct that. Her mission, she decided, was to show Sprinkles a good time.

Standing there with her beer in hand, Bel gasped at Sprinkles's question, "Me? Drunk?" she said, trying not to laugh as she feigned surprise and indignation which, in the end only led to her eventually breaking out in a grin.

"Nah, not yet. But I am feeling very happy," she admitted with a wink. "Wanna get a refill or something, I am sure there's more vodka in the kitchen," Bel said not realising that it was water in the glass Sprinkles was holding.

(Yes, Bel is slightly drunk. lol )

Sprinkles saw right through Bel's lie. If she didn't want to be known as a drunk, then Sprinkles would keep his mouth shut. It was probably for the best that she didn't advertise that. Who knows what creep would try to use that to their advantage?

"I'm new to parties like this. I got overwhelmed..." He rubbed the back of his neck and gave an embarrassed smile. Saying that out loud made him realize how weird he was being. He was here, at a party, having a mini-freakout while everyone else had fun.

"And I can't drink vodka... or alcohol in general. You know, cat diet and all that. Actually, do you think there's alcohol here that's safe for me to drink?"

Bel nodded in understanding when Sprinkles admitted to being overwhelmed. She, unfortunately, understood that too well. Unfortunately, she also handled her problems by hiding how she felt and trying to ignore her problems by partying and avoidance.

"Ohh, okay, sorry, I kinda forgot..." Bel admitted sheepishly when Sprinkles reminded her that he had to follow a cat diet.

"How about beer, or... " here she looked around thoughtfully while trying to think, "or weed? Can you smoke like Mary Jane?" she asked them very curiously as she set her own half empty beer down on a table.

Sprinkles twitched his ears a few time. Did he hear that correctly? Wait, why was he surprised? He was just asked if he wanted some alcohol. Asking about weed was still within bounds.

"Um... I've never had any, but it's just a plant... so I think it's fine? I don't know what Mary Jane is though..." Sprinkles decided to leave out his age. He was at a party. He couldn't pass on all the "fun" stuff simply because he was a year too young.

Now Bel for all her apparent confidence, had never actually tried marijuana ... which was kinda odd since quite a few of the druids used it to relax and as a remedy of sorts for all types of ailments.

"Mary Jane is just slang for marijuana," she told Sprinkles with a smile as she walked up to him and looped an arm through his, noting that they were taller than her even with almost 3-inch stiletto heels.

"How about we go get a blunt, and maybe a beer or two and see what happens?" she suggested in a reasonable tone. "If you don't like it, we can just hang out or dance or something, okay?" Bel said as she glanced up at Sprinkles and smiled encouragingly.

Idiot. Self-deprecating thoughts repeated themselves in Sprinkles' head. He should've figured out that weed and Mary Jane were the same from context clues.

"I should've realized that. Heh... Uh, sure. I'll still pass on the beer, but I wouldn't mind trying some weed. I want to have the full teen party experience if I can, and it sounds like you're familiar with all of this."

Bel grinned widely at that. "I'm an expert in having a good time basically," she said as she led Sprinkles - using her nose - while gesturing at a few guests, wanting to know where they go the weed from, moving them through the crowded party looking for the weed guy chatting the whole while quite animatedly with Sprinkles.

"By the way," Bel said squeezing Sprinkles´s arm as they made their way to a group of boys smoking, possibly the guys they were looking for, "I love your hair, always have. Is it natural?" she asked curiously.
