Evan was raised in a strict home. But it wasn't related to anything religious or spiritual. His mom was overprotective and tried to shield him from any danger as much as possible. She drove him to school even though their school was a walking distance and many kids his age had started to walk to school. She didn't allow him to go on school trips that were out of the city and if he did she always requested that Evan call her at every possible moment. When it came to sleepovers Evans mom would never let him go for them. She always claimed there were weirdos and pedophiles everywhere. When it came to friends coming over to there home she still didn't approve. She wasn't comfortable with having poorly mannered kids in her home she would say. Evan still had a great childhood and he loved his mom no matter how strict her parenting was. It was only until he turned sixteen that she let him spread his wings a little allowing him to stay up late, bring friends over and go for distant school trips.

“Well aren't you excited,” Evans mom said as she sipped her coffee

“Yeah it's almost 7 pm I don't want to be late” Evan replied as he packed his bag

“Are you sure you're going for a sleepover I mean its  Monday aren't sleepovers usually on a Friday or Saturday?” Evans mom asked suspiciously

“I told you mom its a gaming sleepover were not girls it's not like we're gonna be pillow fighting and I told you tomorrow's a holiday!” Evan said defensively

“Okay okay, no need to yell. Just leave me Alvin's home number and text me when you get there and before you sleep okay?”

“Mom am not a kid nothings gonna happen plus am a guy,” Evan said as he rolled his eyes

“Well being a guy is not an excuse young man. I better get a text from you before bed okay?”

“Jeez okay sure” Evan replied as he ran out of the door

This was all new to Evan hanging out all night with friends and drinking alcohol. The idea of having alcohol made Evan nervous he didn't know what to expect and how he would react. His mom never had anything alcoholic around the house, not even a bottle of wine. His plan was to do what everyone does but stop when he starts to feel sort of drunk. Evan suddenly felt a great sense of shame. Here he was a seventeen-year-old virgin heading to his first sleepover to drink alcohol for the first time. He wondered if Zayn had already started having alcohol. If Zayn had been having sex then to Evan it meant he was obviously having alcohol too. That's what Evan admired the most about Zayn he wasn't afraid to try new things he had guts. This was the attitude Evan wanted to have at the sleepover. A guy who is not afraid to try new things and express himself.

*Ding dong*

“Hey you're here,” Alvin said excitedly as he opened the door

“Yeah is everyone else here,” Evan asked

“Yeah they are already upstairs logged on and defending the fort,” Alvin said proudly
