Irene was at a party with a bunch of kids from her college, where she was a freshman. It was awesome that the cool kids had asked her to party with them, and her friend Laura too. They were having a blast, talking, dancing, and flirting with all the cute guys.
Being a college party, a lot of the partiers were drinking. Laura and Irene were underage though, so they abstained at first. But when person after person kept offering them drinks, and the felt like the only people there left out, they decided that they would each have just one drink. That would be safe.
A cute guy named Randy brought them glasses filled with a fruity red liquid.
