Read it first.
Delayed because it is difficult to write about awkward things. Of course dialogue is approximate, but it makes for better reading.
The Saturday morning after our Halloween party was like most mornings at the beach house. Everyone woke up and tried to get out of cleaning the place. Dan’s family owned and often rented it to other people. The house had to be clean by the time we left. Hangovers were common, so the mood during cleaning tended to be pretty bad.
My girlfriend, Ariana, was great at cleaning and organizing, so she generally took charge. Dan generally had the poorest work ethic and biggest hangover. He also felt entitled not to clean since he provided the venue.
People left pretty quickly. There was some event that people wanted to go to that night back at school. By mid afternoon, the sun was going down and there was a lot of laundry (sheets and towels) and dishes left to do. Dan, his girlfriend Kim, my girlfriend Ariana, everyone’s friend Heather, and I were left.
