a night to remember



On a Friday afternoon; everyone is getting off of class and getting their plans ready for the weekend. As I am walking home I arrive to my house, and over heard my neighbor’s conversation on what they plan to do for the night. They wanted to drink and invite two other individuals. For this blog I will be writing about four individuals; one white female I will name Dawn she is 26 years old. There was another white and Cajun female whom was 23 years old; we will call her Spicy Cajun. There was a African American male, he was 23 as well; we will call him Chips. Finally there was a Hispanic and Samoan Male whom was 20 years old we will call Hawaiian Stallion.

I noticed late in the evening laughter between the individuals. There loud music of country, hip-hop, R&B kept me awake because they were playing it loud on a speaker while they were outside. Finally I heard Chips ask Hawaiian Stallion “Do you know how to dance and grind?” Hawaiian Stallion Regrettably said “No!” After Chips laughed at him he told him that he would help out Hawaiian Stallion, and those two went inside. While the other two females remained outside laughing at them. After a total of 5 minutes inside they both walked out with a confident swagger, and played some slow jams.

It turns out that Hawaiian Stallion had a little crush on Spicy Cajun so he danced with her. While Chips danced with Dawn, I have to admit they all danced really well. Especially for the short amount of time they had to practice. All throughout the night all four had an appeared to be an enjoyable night. Then they all started to play card games while drinking outside. It was funny because Spicy Cajun always made fun of Chips, teasing him with playful names, and funny remarks as he would lose the game. What made the whole situation even funnier was when Chips. Thought he won the pot and removed all the coins, and started dancing. The group of people started to make fun of him and he said playfully “F***K Y’all I’m going to bed” afterwards he poured himself another drink. Then the females went to the store to get more alcohol, where Hawaiian Stallion and Chips turned what seemed to be just two friends drinking and hanging out. To a riveting karaoke session between the two.

The singing was so loud that people three to four houses down could hear their voices. It was somewhat funny hearing to strong men singing slow R&B songs. Finally the girls came back interrupting their singing “Are we interrupting something here?” the boys said no; and continued to sing their songs. The night looked like it was a lot of fun. They ended up staying up till about 2 in the morning, just jamming out to music, talking, and cracking jokes on each other. Finally Hawaiian Stallion said to Chips “Dude I really want to hook up with Spicy Cajun tonight”. Chips responded laughingly “You’re not getting anywhere tonight I promise you that much”. Finally everyone went to bed and Hawaiian Stallion did end up spending the night over Spicy Cajuns house.
