Personal Narrative On Homecoming Night

The specific incident took place on Homecoming Night, October 11, 2015. I had gone out to dinner with my siblings and I had arrived back at the dorm around 11:30 P.M.

It was nice enough of Clayton to invite everyone over and that was taken advantage of completely. I should have had the courage to tell Andrew to stop because not only where we guest, but it was not Andrew’s place to make decisions concerning
