#8

We got to the corner of the street, closer to where we had the party yesterday and we found a lot of policemen around the building and an ambulance carrying a dead body. The crowd was in shock. they were whispering to themselves.
I heard someone say from the crowd. “that it was one of the boys in the party yesterday and he overdosed on Molly. It's quite unfortunate actually”
I was shocked and frankly scared because this could have been me or anyone. This was bad for the school because apparently, this has been happening a lot.
This means the school board will be in confusion and desperate to take drastic action. They most likely would be canceling parties on campus, if it gets out of hand and lots of cases are coming up and the school is trying to control the information circulating too fast to the public and news channels.
They were cracking down on students distributing drugs on campus. “There goes my beautiful college experience… Down the drain”. I thought to myself.
if anyone was caught selling drugs. They would be immediately expelled and they try to put some consequences to punish drug users on campus or people that were found highly intoxicated to the point of death.

someone in the crowd said “ that's Marvin his my buddy... My buddy from class. he was quite a nice guy” We waited at the scene till the ambulances and the police went away.
Chills went down my spine. Emma held my hands tightly. I could see tears running down her eyes. “I talked to him yesterday in the party. He seemed sweet. We had a few conversations and even got me a drink” she paused in silence.
“It is so funny how someone can be with you some hours ago then within a few hours gone. Like nothing ever happened.” Her voice was shaking and she needed space because she started feeling claustrophobic in the middle of the crowd.
So she drags me by the hand away from the crowd. “Let's move away from here, I am feeling quite uncomfortable” Everyone Had a lot of sad faces. This was a dark moment for us. I wouldn't like to dampen my college experience with this.

We were to come out later that night for a candle night, to come out and remember Marvin. I also heard that there will be meetings with the student body on how to reduce drug intake and drug-related deaths in school.
Slightly recovering from the shock, Emma and I went back to our dorm rooms distorted and unhappy. We both were freshers so this was so shocking for both of us.
I wonder if they would start instituting mandatory dorm checks. “it's going to be like high school all over again” when we got to our room I looked around I didn’t see jasmine “Where is jazz?”
she said “she's probably in class or something” “Let’s lighten the mood” she reached for her phone for her music player, Then she played some hip-hop music From her playlist. “I never knew you loved hip-hop yeah” “I do”
She said smiling and she also invited me for a dance “I am not a good dancer,” I said. “Don’t worry about that I could teach you” She grab my hand in the middle of the room and started dancing “Do as I do” teaches how to dance.
“You did so well at the party” she smiled and slapped my ass with her hands. “Show me those moves boy” shouting above the music.

“Maybe it was the alcohol. Loosen up your body that's why you danced so freely” “maybe who knows” I replied, Then she came onto me and started grinding on me.
I felt so much tension. sexual tension to be exact in my pants. All I wanted to do was get her very close to me. Held her very close to me.
I never knew my day would end up like this.
“Here I am again with Emma, she ended up in my arms,” I thought to myself. I was so happy. We started caressing each other’s bodies and slow dancing when she switched the playlist to slower tempo songs.
When the pressure and tension increased, she immediately pulled away as it felt like we could rip each other’s clothes off. she pulled away. I was so confused because I had a huge Boner and didn’t know what to do with it.
I tried hiding it with a pillow. It was so uncool and it was quite embarrassing. she laughed at how fast I reached for the pillow to hide the boner.
“I don't want you to think I'm one of those cheap girls that you can easily sleep with.

I have heard about college boys and they can be very deceiving. They would be all sweeter at the moment than when they get into pants. They would run away the slightest chance they get” she said as she sat on her bed.
“Oh my God, Emma. I have never thought of you as cheap. I really like you and I would love to see where this thing between us leads to” Even though I have never been with a girl before I was happy with the idea of wanting to be with her a lot so I said “that's fine we don’t need to have sex now, let's see how this goes”
“Do you smoke pot?” she said, looking at me with her eyes that seemed to be trying to figure me out. “No, I've never had it before. I've always been on the swim team in high school and I would never have reasons to smoke because they would check if you were using any type of drugs and that could cost You to get removed from the team. I never wanted to risk that.
Swimming was one of the few things that gave me bliss in high school” “You don't need to try it if you don't want to, though. I just wanted us to smoke and chill together while we cuddled up on my bed” she said.
“it's fine, I would love to cuddle up with you and smoke… I am not that good so bear with me” There was a long pause for a few minutes. I said to break the ice “ I really don't mind taking a hit or two to see how it feels”
“I swear you need to try this. It would calm your nerves. You would see that life becomes simpler” she passes a rolled paper filled with weed.
“You see how you do it. You drag it in, hold it in for a bit then blow. Now you try” she explained, smiling at me.
