 "For one night, ONE NIGHT, I let him go to a party. And what does he do?! HE GETS DRUNK!! Of COURSE he does!! He lectures me about not trusting him enough, and THEN HE GETS DRUNK!!"

 "Wow. Sounds like college hasn't been to kind to you two." 

 I had called Chihiro, mostly because I needed someone to vent to, and Mondo wouldn't listen, especially if he was drunk. Exhausted, sure, but no. Not drunk. 

 "Well, let me know if you need any help!" 

 "No, you're with your coding team. I won't bother you any more than this call."  

 She sighed.

 "Ok, but you let me know immediately if you get hurt, alright? I don't want either of you injured."

 I smiled. It was a nice reminder that college hadn't changed her a bit.

 "Ok, I got it. See you tomorrow?"

 She was silent for a moment, signifying a thought. After a few seconds, her voice came through again.

 "Yeah, I should be home by then."

 "Alright, see you then." I hung up, pulling in the driveway the party was taking place at. I wasn't sure who was in charge, but it seemed like the partygoers didn't either. No matter, because I spotted Mondo immediately.

 About to do something really stupid.
