July 18

Lucy eventually starts going out and unfortunately is under the influence. Throughout the story, Lucy is living in a life that is not her. In a body that she is unable to recognized. At her first party, Lucy finds Ross, who had by then become her best friend. As soon as they arrived to the party, Cameroon offers Lucy a beer, she accepted his offer quickly. Lucy later on that same night finds her self alone in the corner. A sweet girl name Lauren sat down with her and together, they had wine coolers. It did not take a long time for Lucy to become wild. Lucy who is supposedly a very self conscious, is having more fun then anyone present at the party. Ross hugged lucy from behind and whispered in her ears, lets go somewhere calm. Excited, Lucy leaves Lauren and follows Ross in Blake's bedroom, the host of the party. Ross did not turn on the light as they got there. The music was not as loud as it had been before. All the sudden Ross pulls out a pipe and a bowl in which he puts some weed. Tempted to try, Lucy grabs the pipe in Ross’ hands who gave her the instructions. As she inhaled and exhaled the drug,  an extensive amount of white smoke invaded the room. All the sudden Lucy felt light and for once she considered her self pretty and sexy. As she walked outside the room, Blake, grabbed her by the waist and pulled her in the corner. She felt his soft warm lips press against hers. As she got downstairs, she looked very dumbfounded, Lauren came by and asked if she was doing okay. “off course” she responded. She told Lauren about her amazing night. At that moment, Lauren starts laughing carelessly, for Ross turned out to be gay. Lucy began to cry and felt heart broken. She never spoke to Ross for the entire night. Towards the end, they all exchanged numbers. The next day, they all went to the beach together and smoked a bit. Lucy, who is starting to like the feeling slowly becomes addicted to the drug. “I want another joint” (43).
