TW: Alcohol, Swearing, Mentions Of Smut

Zak

I squinted at my phone as I struggled to turn off my alarm. I finally turned it off and then dragged myself out of bed. Today was going to be exciting. I just had to get the drinks, then I'll drop Dave's brothers off, and then we could set everything up.

I showered and then got dressed-just a simple black hoodie and jeans. I slipped on my shoes and started stuffing things into my backpack. A few items for the party. Some water bottles, some Tylenol, an extra hoodie, and just a few other essential items.

I grabbed my keys and wallet and started to head out my bedroom door. I glanced back in my room, snatched the package off my desk, and then left. I waved goodbye to my parents and then walked out to my car. It was still decently early, around ten. The party started at six, so we had a good few hours to set everything up. I shoved all my stuff into the trunk of my car and headed to the store.

I grinned as I stepped out of the store with all the alcohol for tonight. I don't know how people don't think I'm underaged. Or maybe they do know and just don't care. Either way, it was a success. I set it down in my trunk next to the soda and other drinks I had bought earlier. I reached into one of the bags and grabbed a Monster Ultra. Personally, my favorite. I opened it and took a few sips before climbing into my car and setting it in the cupholder.

I then drove to Dave's house and parked in the driveway this time. I turned the car off, leaving everything in the car, and knocked on his front door. Out ran Tommy, Toby, Wilbur, And Dave right behind them.

"Why do we have to go to Ranboo's house?! He's weird!" Tommy complained as he ran after Toby.

"He's my best friend!" Toby yelled.

"I thought I was?" Tommy screamed as he tackled Toby into the grass.

Dave looked at me and sighed.

"I don't know how you're doing this. Your parents better be paying you for this." I laughed.

"They are, but is it really worth it?" He said, dragging out his words.

"You sent me the address earlier, right?" I asked as I watched the boys run around the front yard.

Dave nodded.

"And do you think they'll be okay riding with no doors?" I pointed to my car, which like always, had the doors off.

"Tommy and Wilbur, yeah. Maybe put Toby in the middle. He's so small I wouldn't want him getting blown away."

We both laughed before I piled all the kids into my car. I shoved their bags into my trunk and made sure they buckled themselves in. I put the address into Waze. A ten-minute drive, not horrible.

"What do you guys want to listen to?" I asked as I glanced back at them.

They all thought before Tommy said,

"Bruno Mars!" He said, excitement in his eyes.

The other two brothers didn't seem like they were too happy about the choice, but they didn't protest. I pressed play on the music, started my car, and pulled out of the driveway.

I dropped the brothers off, and I was now on my way back to Daves. It was now around eleven, only about seven hours until the party. I pulled back into his driveway and grabbed everything I could from my trunk. I carried it in and put it on the kitchen counter. I then went back out and grabbed everything else and did the same. I sighed as I watched Dave look through everything.

"How are you so good at this? Whenever I try, I always get caught."

I shrugged.

"I don't know. just luck, I guess."
