Hindsight
Debbie got high last night.
Her conscience weighed on her, but not enough to refuse her friends. There was no explicit peer pressure. Rather, not joining in would have meant that she'd forever be considered apart from them..
Once the high came on, her reservations disappeared. It was the best decision she'd ever made.
Twelve hours later, lying in bed as the guilt tries to set in along with the nausea, she's no longer so sure. Hindsight suggests getting high was a mistake.
Debbie remembers kissing Eric Bradshaw and decides that no one listens to hindsight. No one cool anyway.
