Outside the Bonfire: Dana & Kaden
Dana could barely get a word in because Micah was heated and then lecturing her. She found herself shrinking back a little after he snatched the cup from her and shouted at another student. He was asking questions and she was trying to figure out answers. She hadn't paid much attention to who gave her the alcohol and so she couldn't point it out. Everyone was in costume and some people had committed the faux pas of wearing the same one!
"I—I—I don't remember," she answered and took a step back. Normally Mr. Kaden was a big teddy bear and she often gave him random hugs (as she did with many of her friends). But right now he felt extra tall and extra scary and extra mad. Dana looked around at others but they were either watching at a safe distance so not to involve themselves or they were on their way away to keep out of Micah's rampage.
She struggled, "S—S—S—Someone gave it to me and I was just holding it. I wasn't going to drink it! I don't need it! I don't need it!" She felt bad. Mr. Kaden was so angry and she'd disappointed him!
