1995

The drive home, or so they thought- Chapter Eight

Luke's POV

When the bell rang,  Alex and I were in the middle of a conversation, we decided to walk home together so It didn't have to end. I was supposed to meet Bobby at the front corridor but Alex was just too cute- uh I mean um excited when he talked about certain things, so I kind of just brushed it off. Yeah I felt bad but I'm sure Bobby would understand that I'm just helping out the new kid.

As we walked out to the parking lot Bobby came running up behind us. Before I could even think about what I was saying the words slipped out, "have you heard from Reggie?" Apparently I was more worried about him than I thought.

"Dude that's what I was gonna ask you" Bobby sighed defeatedly. Suddenly Logan pulled up in his car right in front of where we were walking, almost hitting Alex who was a little bit ahead of us.

"Bobby, Luke get it I'll drive you home today." I looked over at Alex who was almost sad at the fact I wasn't going to walk with him.

"No I'm good, I was gonna walk home with Alex, show him around a little bit." As I said that a smile showed up on Alex's face.

"It's alright dude, he can come with," Bobby opened the door and waited for us to climb in. Alex was hesitant, he seemed smart enough not to climb into random people's cars. "Dude, he's my brother, he's not gonna kill us" Bobby gave Alex a slight push as he got in, then Bobby climbed in too. Logan made a face at Bobby, he looked a mix of confused and angry, but Bobby just brushed it off.

"Bobby, I actually needed to talk to you" Logan's voice got quieter.

"What's up dude?" Bobby said, giving Logan a little push. Logan leaned over to bobby not taking his eyes off the road and whispered something in his ear. I could have sworn I heard Reggie's name but I couldn't quite make out what they were saying. I looked over to Alex who was sitting there quietly. I hated how quiet it was in here.

"Alex, what were we talking about before we basically got kidnapped?" I said with a sarcastic tone in my voice facing Logan.

"Oh right, uh- I think we were talking about music and instruments" He said quietly as another one of those slight smiles came across his face.

"Oh right I was about to tell you that Bobby, Reggie, and I are actually making a band!" I was excited to finally tell someone, "We're gonna be the next Nirvana or Green day or something."

"Yeah, it's super sick, except we still haven't found a drummer so let's not go and tell people Luke." Bobby had a point, we don't have a drummer. What if we couldn't find a drummer? Then we would never be able to be a real band.

"A drummer?" Alex's voice went a little louder, me and bobby both looked at him and nodded.

"I uh- I know a guy. Well I guess it's me- I'm the guy."

Bobby and I looked at each other then back at Alex "for real dude? You're in!" Bobby reached back and grabbed my arm.

"Shouldn't we see if he can actually play," Bobby tried his best to say it quietly but Alex totally heard him "no offence or anything, it's just-"

"No no I totally get it, how about tomorrow? You guys can come over and I can show you a couple things on my drum." Bobby and I both nodded in agreement "Oh Logan this is my place right here, thanks!"

After Alex left Bobby and I were both left confused, Alex's house is a lot bigger than I was expecting. Maybe I shouldn't have judged a book by its cover but he just didn't seem like the "rich" type. As Logan drove me to my house he looked angry. Right before he was supposed to turn to get to my house he turned the other way, this is the way to- Reggie's house? "You guys should check on Reggie, I heard he left school early" Logan said, pulling up to Reggie's house. "Seriously guys" Logan says, basically kicking us out of his car.
