punz threw him some weed and clay happily took, walking outside with the other two.
but as expected, there were so many fucking people.
"let's go to the park," clay said, wanting to get away from all these too many bodies. "it could be empty since it's pretty old."
nick and punz agreed and off they rode again. the wheels of their boards were a symphony that was just music to clay's ears.
once they made it to the park, clay stepped off his skateboard, kicking it up and leaning against a tree. nick leaned back beside him and punz sat on the ground, having no intent of standing back up.
as they smoked the pack of weed, they talked about random shit. clay laughed, he swore at them, he scowled, but once he began laughing at the most bizarre shit, he knew he was getting real high.
"the world is fucking spinning," nick said in a higher pitched voice.
"you're high, nick," clay deadpanned.
"yeah! well, so are you!" he retorted.
punz frowned and pushed himself off the ground. "you guys better have not downed so mu--fucking hell, you two, seriously?"
clay laughed, "whoops! but really, i don't care, i'll be fine!"
nick though, he groaned, "well fuck, i'll be throwing up in like fifteen minutes."
punz rolled his eyes. "that was your choice, so sucks to suck."
clay's eyes landed on a figure on the sidewalk on the opposite side of the road and he glowered. both confused, nick and punz looked in that direction, but their confusion ever left.
"what you looking at?" punz asked.
"that damn boy." clay scowled.
still confused, nick spoke up, "there's no one there, clay."
"but..."
punz sighed, "you're so fucking high, you're hallucinating."
clay groaned and closed his eyes, pressing the heel of his palms against his eyelids. "but why the fuck am i hallucinating about him!? give me some other shit, please!"
"who's him?" punz asked, lifting a brow that caused clay's scowl to deepen.
"a fucker who i see everytime i'm out here at one in the morning."
"and why do you hate him?" punz asked.
clay froze. he didn't have an entire reason why he hated that boy. he just did, and the boy hated him back. good, at least it was a mutual feeling. he didn't want someone he despised to have a liking towards him.
so he just shrugged, "no huge reason, but the feeling's mutual, so i don't give any shits."
he swore a smirk threatened to climb onto nick's face.
ignoring it, clay pushed away from the tree, also ignoring how his mind spun and made him see glimpses of hallucinations. his stomach was beginning to roll and he frowned, he rarely threw up after getting high.
not thinking much about it, clay said, "i'm going for a ride around the neighborhood. see y'all around."
as punz and nick bid their goodbyes, clay stepped onto his skateboard and rode out of the old park. the sky was bright and with very few clouds, a bit surprising, considering that it had poured only that morning.
his phone buzzed in his pocket and clay pulled it out, finding a text from punz.
punz

phone if you're just riding

10:00amrolling his eyes, clay slid his phone into his pocket, and continued on without to many thoughts.
and he wasn't paying much attention. since his little thoughts had him drifted away from the real world, his gaze was unfocused and his mind was blurry.
but, he was focused just enough to slow down for a car to pass before he crossed the crosswalk and onto the sidewalk, heading towards the bridge that passed over the water.
subconsiouly, part of his mind drifted off. the other half let him notice that he wasn't alone on this bridge. a figure sat on the railings, their legs kicking back and forth as they stared out into the endless waters.
and then clay realized it was that fucking boy.
how the fuck did he always end up seeing him?
something suddenly caught on one of his skateboard's wheels and clay stumbled backwards, luckily catching himself. but his heart dropped as he watch his board fly forwards and under the railings.
but, it caught itself by the end of the skateboard.
"you are so fucking lucky."
