At first, a house party had seemed like a waste of time. Weaving and slowly bobbing through dozens of crowds, dodging folks that drank too much, avoiding the druggies that took more drugs to bring a dead guy back to life, it all seemed... exhausting. But your moment to turn it down was scratched off now that you heard about who was running the show.

Lucio!

Your one and only best friend in High school. The man always knew how to please a crowd, he was the life of the party. Everyone had been friends and ex-friends of his for a long time, and you survived every type of friend group there was at the time, all because of him!

Somehow school was bearable that way, having something and someone to look forward to every day. Of course, he wasn’t a goody-two shoes type of man all of the time. There were times where he’d invite you over for a few drinks and smokes while he had his place to himself on weekends. You were pretty much the ONLY person he enjoyed hanging out with 24/7 and now, you’re at his place, sharing the same feeling all over again.

Although, this time, it was more... crowded than usual. More people around, more of a reason to put a facade on. You were self conscious about your image on others that you filtered yourself just in case, you stayed grounded and only let it shine when you needed to. Lucio had nothing to lose, he let everyone here know who he was and how he liked to party.

Now, you had stayed seated on a barstool chair, drinking a couple of drinks while smoking a cigarette. Your typical routine every other month. You let out a puff of air , smoke escaping your lips as you watched Lucio at work. Scratching Vinyl and spinning turntables like no other. You wore a smile, all before turning back to what occupied you first. You place the empty glass down in front of you, now five shots in and feeling that warm buzz just right. All in time for Lucio to show up and slide over the counter like he was jumping hurdles.

“Ahh~ there’s my favorite loner I know and love! The crowds pretty busy, why don’t we go party ourselves? “

Lucio shoots you a wink and offers a hand to go escape somewhere, hoping you tag along...
