Jenny, Meg said she’s having a party at her house, there’s gunna be stuff to drink.
Kayla, Alex said Meg’s having a party, drinks at her house, its gunna be huge!
Chelsea, Jenny said Alex said Meg’s having a party, she said there’ll be special drinks, and you have to tell everyone.
Hey Carly, Kayla said Jenny was told by Alex that Meg said she’s having a huge party, there’s going to be some nips, if you know what I mean
Noellen! Wait up, Kayla told Chelsea that Jenny found out Meg is having a massive get together at her house. I heard there was going to be a keg! Make sure everyone knows!
Sarah, Carly found out from Kayla and Chelsea that Jenny and Meg are throwing a rager, a crunk.
Two days later…
Meg! Wait you’re having a rager!? What?
Uhh. No, I’m having a party with soda. No alcohol, that’s so bad, why would you think that?

This is a wonderful piece. Funny, true and well written. And, as you found out, a little hard to say outloud! But I thought you did a great job and, watching the audience, they were totally with you. Nice job.

And a nice piece of writing.
