How could I forget, when Caroline gets high, she doesn’t actually laugh like the majority of people do. No–she gets really sappy and emotional. I remember one time, she called me crying because a butterfly flew from her hand and she was sad to see it go.
“You want some Scarlett?” Maria offered me a light green glass pipe as smoke surrounded her.
“Scarlett doesn’t get high.” Caroline stated as she picked up a strand of my hair and started playing with it.
“Sure.” I replied hesitantly.
Apparently tonight was a first for many things.
I studied the glass pipe Maria had just handed me- it was a little bit bigger than my index finder and it had a hole placed to the left of it. “Okay, so place your thumb over the hole while you’re taking a hit, and release it just before you’re about to exhale.” Maria took my hand and adjusted my finger accordingly.
“Just let me know when you’re ready, and I’ll light it up for you.” She gestured to the lighter in her hand.
I gave her a nod and watched the bright flame light up the contents of the glass pipe. At first, I didn’t even inhale the smoke, instead I just sucked it in and held it in my mouth until it was time to blow it out. This caused me to cough uncontrollably until Naomi handed me a bottle of water.
The second hit was much more powerful than the first.
The smoke was hot, invading my lungs slowly at first – and then all at once.
It didn’t taste good either – a combination of sandy paper mixed with bitterness.
When Maria offered me another hit, I shook my head no. “I don’t feel any different.” I said.
“Just give it a minute.” She chuckled as she emptied out the glass pipe and zipped everything back up.
“Buttercup!” Lucas called out from where he was lying face down on the floor.
“Yes, Lucas?” I crouched down so that I was next to him.
He looked really funny just lying there. I wonder if he could give me a piggy back ride.
“Are you having fun?” He asked.
“The best.” I replied honestly.
“Who wants another round of shots?” Alex asked as he was already pouring the remaining contents of the bottle of
Patron.
“Me!” My shot up. Then, I turned to Lucas. “Can you give me a piggy back ride?”

Chapter 115
“Okay, that’s enough.” Aiden came out of nowhere and scooped me off the floor.
“But-”
“No buts, Princess.” He rested his hand over mine and enveloped it.
“I want a piggy back ride!”
“Actually no!”
“I want a tattoo!”
“Scarlett, you’re as high as a kite.” He replied with a tone that suggested he was stating the obvious.
“Fine!” I huffed as I marched over to Maria and Lucas, grabbed them my the hands and convinced them that the three of us should go get matching tattoos because everyone else was just being a poopoo head.
Which brings us to why the nine of us are all currently standing in a tattoo parlor, flipping through various design booklets as we wait for an artist to become available.
I’m also using the term “we” very loosely. When I say we – I mean Brooke, Lucas and I because Aiden decided he wanted to be the responsible adult tonight and everyone else was underage.
Ha – sucks to be them!
. Surprisingly, we weren’t the only ones out on a nightly adventure to permanently imprint our body. There were
four others in front of us that were currently being serviced.
“Come on, Princess.” Aiden tried to pull me away from the sketchbook. “You’re not sober enough for this.”
I gasped. “That’s it! That’s what I want!”
Everyone shot me a confused look. “What are you talking about?”
In my defense, I would just like to point out that I am very drunk and high right now.
“I want Princess, just like in this picture.” I motioned towards a picture of a girl’s butt cheek with the word wild written in cursive. As soon as I finished my sentence, Aiden and Lucas burst out laughing while Naomi and Caroline immediately rushed towards me to see which design I had picked.
“That’s the one I want!” I stated proudly, not budging.
“You’re not serious!” Aiden replied shaking his head. “Think this through Scarlett. You’re going to kill me when you sober up.”
“Why are you calling me Scarlett?” I pouted. “I don’t like it.”
“That’s your name isn’t it?” He raised a brow.

“Yeah but “I frowned. “You always call me Princess.”
“And I will continue to call you Princess,” Aiden let out an exasperated sigh. “But you are not getting that on your
body.”
I tried to protest but he cut me off. “End of discussion.”
“You’re no fun!” I stomped my foot for good measure and fought the overwhelming urge to stick my tongue out at him childishly.
“You know what would be cool?” Brooke’s eyes lit up. “An orchid.”
“An orchid?” I asked, confused.
“Yeah!” She nodded enthusiastically. “You’re an Aquarius and it’s your zodiac flower. They symbolize elegance, reverence and grace.”
