Tim reflects on how he always had one or two close friends rather than a big clique, and recounts riding with older acquaintances Hector and Sonya to the Bronx as a young teen to get weed and cocaine.
- Tim's strategy was always having one or two close friends rather than a large group, which let him move between social circles more easily.
- Small groups fit better in cars—going to the Bronx with Hector and Sonya in eighth grade to get weed and cocaine was feasible because it was just a few people.
- He remembers those nights as fun but also recalls the constant fear of getting caught coming home at 2 or 3 a.m. while his parents were awake.
- Coming down off coke one night, they turned the corner toward his friend's house and all the lights were on at 2:45 a.m., which should never happen.
- His friend looked at him and said "we're fucked" in that moment of certain discovery.
