As far as Cokie knew, the only person from school who know about her...condition...was Grace. She had a feeling that was about to change though and it was all because of what happened at home the evening of Sheila's party. Cokie wasn't going to go, but she needed to get out of her house and away from her mother. Immediately.
She tore through Sheila's house looking for Grace. Grace had mentioned she was going to the party and, true to her word, there she was. In one swift movement, Cokie grabbed a beer from a table with one hand and the sleeve of Grace's shirt with her other hand.
"I have to talk to you," she hissed to Grace as she pulled her into a corner. Rolling her eyes, she tipped her head back and choked down half the beer.
