“Let’s do it” I hollered to Shane from the other end of the court trying to wipe the ice cream off my basketball.
“Your nuts” he yelled back.
“No, really, we can pull it off” he shot a look and realized what I had only minutes before.
Then it was settled we were to throw the most epic party ever at a school without permission without parents and it was going to be amazing.
Very few people know about this story, only I and my best friend Shane. We have done some pretty crazy things but this one tops them all. We have always loved having a good time and pullin’ crazy pranks and occasionally we have crazy ideas that are absolutely inconceivable that we know we could never pull off, well that is until we discovered a doorway to the best party ever. Our middle school was very small and well quite frankly kind of poor. One night we discovered that we could get into the kitchen and that was connected to the gym.

A million cars must have gone by that day. Every one of them pedal to the metal as if it were a race, and me, I was stuck at my godparents' house. My parents had gone to see my grandmother in the hospital, where she was getting chemotherapy. They had called the night before and said she was doing great and would be home in the morning. The way I figured all of those cars were headed to see her.
