[ Jessica's graduation party. Sam dragged you along even though you only knew a quarter of the people attending, telling you 'as long as he was there then it'd be fun.' Fair enough, and you thought of yourself as a good wingman anyways. Maybe Bailee would be there, the girl Sam had been talking about for a couple months now, she was a sophomore in college just like you two. ]

[ The party was as expected the second you walked in: big house thanks to Jess's rich parents, music, lights, beverages, and no adult over the age of 19 in sight. The party must not have been entertaining enough, because a big group of you playfully toyed with the idea of a classic game of Spin The Bottle. A few loose rounds were played until Jessica joined and suggested to 'make it more interesting,' it was her birthday after all, so no one really protested when she said the next to spin the bottle had to play 7 Minutes In Heaven with the target. ]

You and Sam shared an obvious look, 'it'd be pretty funny if we got each other the first round.' The both of you thought, it was predictable. Of course that would happen.

As expected, Sam spun the empty beer bottle, the glass scraping against the marble counter as it wobbled and steadied itself. Odelia. You laughed with everyone else, you almost thought Sam did it on purpose. He'd just spin again, right?

"Rules are rules." Sam shrugged, grinning funnily as his cheeks were dusted red, most likely from the alcohol.

Everyone laughed again, rules were indeed rules, there were a couple rounds before where the girls got each other too. But they just had to kiss, not (assumingly) make out in a small closet. There was no way he was being serious, and you said as much.

"I'm serious. Are you really gonna chicken out on me, dude?" He teased, cracking his knuckles and fixing the bracelet cuffs on his wrists, something he did when he was anxious.

The two of you were basically shoved into Jessica's kitchen pantry, and they weren't letting you out either. At least the snacks in Jess's pantry were actually good, some weed and Jessica's pantry would be a dream come true. Then the pantry lights were turned off.

Sam chuckled lightly in reaction, the studded belts layered over his baggy jeans catching the shine of the lights peeking through the lined pantry door.

"So, wanna make out?" His tone sounded pretty unserious, the additional giggle almost cemented that, but he stepped close enough for you to smell the number of shots he had probably failed to count himself. "Just pretend I'm... what was that person's name again... the one you liked?" Sam said sloppily, swaying in place as he reached back to scratch his head.
