Well It was December 26 1995, we had just got back from a family friends house. I was putting all my stuff away when some one started to knock at the door. It was my cousin Jeremy who I hadn't seen in a few months. He asked if I wanted to go hang out. After spending the last few days with people I really didn't get along with I thought why the hell not. We walked up to Shasta park where his friends and his girlfriend were. Now up to this point of my life I was the good kid. I never did anything wrong. when we get to the park Jeremy introduced me to everyone. Turns out his girlfriend, Sabrina, was in my Geology class. The first thing I noticed is they all smoked, which for me was a no no. They offered me a smoke and of course I turned it downed. We hung out all day and I had a good time. I was now part of the crew.
I started to hang out with them every day. We all became good friends. Jeremy told me that they were going to have a New Years party. I told my mom I was going to spend the weekend at Jeremy's and we were off. The night before the party we decided to have a pre party. We held it at Sabrinas cousins place. Heather was her name. She lived with her half sister and her fiance. So the pre party began. Some how Jeremy got a few cases of Bud Light Ice and a few bottles of Tequila and I ordered pizza. This is where the Peer Pressure began lol. I wasn't going to drink but no one calls me a p***y. So I started to drink and drink. Needless to say it didn't take long for me to get drunk. After we all got hammered Jeremy reaches in his pocket and pulled out a ziplock baggy. Heather went back to her room and got her bong. They started smoking and passing. When it got to me I said "no thanks". Well the word p***y came out again. And again no one calls me a p***y. Needless to say I was drunk and stoned now. In one night I did two things that I had never done before. Now sometime in the mist of all that Heather and I started talking. Then she kissed me or I kissed her ether way we became a couple. That was all that happened that night. We all ended up passing out in Heathers room. They next day we were awoke by Heathers sister telling us to clean up our mess. We did clean it up and afterwords we went to the park to hang out. While we where there they offered me a cigarette. Again I turned it downed and again that word came out, but this time I stood my ground. All day they tried and all day I denied. We went to the party that night and it was the same thing as the night before. After the party we needed a place to go so, I invited every one to my house. My room had a door that led to the backyard. We arrived there and passed out. When I went to sleep Heather and I were on my bed and every one else was on the floor. The next day my mom came in my room, you had to go through my room to get to the garage, and saw me and three girls in my bed. Sometime through the night two of the girls crawled in my bed. Imagine the look on her face seeing her son in bed with all them girls. Of course she saw we all had clothes on so, she calmed down a little bit. Well my mom and her boyfriend needed to go some where so she asked if I would watch my little sisters. Me and Heather got up and went into the kitchen to keep an eye on the girls. Now somehow she got me to smoke a cigarette. I don't remember the details of that morning to well but that's when I started to smoke.
I still smoke cigarettes but I don't drink much and I stopped smoking pot in 1997.
