Lena was at her first rave. She was nervous, but excited. Her friends had convinced her to take ecstasy. Bright lights, pounding music, and inebriated party-goers surrounded her. That’s when she noticed him. A tall, dark, and handsome man. His name was Darrell. She could see he was black, and muscular. He noticed her staring, and smiled.
“Hey, I’m Darrell.”
“Hi, I’m Lena.”
They started talking, and dancing. Darrell moved closer, touching her hips. Lena closed her eyes and felt the ecstasy pulse through her veins. The music suddenly became louder and faster. Darrell grabbed her hand and led her to a more secluded area. They sat down on the floor, holding hands.
“This is my first time,” Lena said, feeling shy.
“Mine too. But let’s just go with it,” Darrell replied, moving in to kiss her.
