One night my cousin and I had asleep over and it just happen to be New Years Eve, 2019. My cousin Brenda loved to party but I was not too much of a party person.

Just like with anything else if you don't ask what's going to happen maybe it won't. But we were just two curious teenagers having a sleep over with a few friends. We played games, ate all of our favorite...
