about it and texted Reid. About thirty seconds later, I had a text from Carson, confirming that Reid had told him. News travels fast.
The bummer about all of this is that Kelly can’t go. The school doesn’t allow students from other schools to come to the graduation party due to “issues of liability.” You have to actually have a valid student ID to set foot in the place, and they usually have a police officer standing guard while the parent volunteers check everyone’s name off a list just in case there’s any issue. I’m not sure why kids from other schools can come to prom but not this party. I think it’s because this party was all about keeping the “children” safe. I can just hear the school board meeting where irate mothers stood up and wailed, “Won’t someone PLEASE think of the CHILDREN?” How is not allowing kids from other schools to come going to help? And what about, oh, I dunno, the night AFTER graduation? And all the nights after that when kids do dumb shit to celebrate getting out of high school?
Whatever.
Jess is planning to sneak Kelly in after we get inside. I’m sure THAT won’t go horribly wrong. . . .
Jeez. What is wrong with me? I wish I were more excited about this. I video chatted with Carson after we got home from the yogurt place and we decided that we’d just drop and then go hang out with each other in the big beanbag pit in the band room. That way we won’t have to deal with Jess and her crazy plan to sneak Kelly in through the fire escape—or however she’s going to do it.
Carson is so cute. I could stare at his face on the screen for hours.
Saturday, May 31
So, we all went to graduation this morning. Reid and Carson got their diplomas, then both of their moms threw an “open house” party this afternoon. We went to Reid’s first, and then Carson’s. Met their grandparents and had food and cake and my mother almost embarrassed me to death in both places. Carson was smirking at me the whole time because he knows my mom drives me crazy. At one point he grabbed my hand and led me through the crowd in his backyard to his room, where he closed the door so we could make out for a little while. When we got back to the party, my mom was in the kitchen with his mom having a glass of wine, and she looked up and said, Well, there you two are!
She said this really loudly, as if to alert the entire neighborhood that we’d been making out somewhere. Carson walked me to the car when we left and said that he’d see me tonight. When we got back home, Jess and Kelly came over. Ashley came into my room and Kelly pulled out the bag of molly she’d scored from Kyle. Jess got increasingly excited about the party tonight while Ash looked completely terrified. She wanted to know how we were going to “do” it, and let it be known that there was no way she was going to snort anything up her nose. She asked if she could just put it in a drink or something, and Kelly warned her that this was a BAD idea. She explained that it tastes TERRIBLE and that it would ruin any liquid, and that she should “balloon it.”
Ashley just blinked at her, and Kelly decided we should just go ahead and divvy it all up ahead of time. She got a mirror and showed Jess how to split up the doses evenly. Then she got some toilet paper and tore one square in half, dropped a little mound of powder into it, and twisted it up into a tiny pouch. Kelly did this for each dose, and then very carefully put them into the plastic bag and explained to Jess that it was extremely important that she keep the baggie tightly wrapped up so the little wads of molly didn’t come undone and spill out all over the place. Jess said this was no problem and carefully put the baggie into her bra. Her rack is huge. It’s not going to move at all wedged in there.
Carson and Reid are meeting us here, and then Kelly and Jess have their plan all worked out for when we get into the party tonight. I feel all nervous about this, but I can’t really
