Noise . Too much noise .

And too much alcohol.

Going inside the bar I see lots of young people like us , talking laughing and drinking. Having fun in general.

" Wow it's really crowded for a bar " i shake my head

" Well it's a Saturday night " Alex says " grab my hand we don't want you to get lost "

I dart my eyes at his open palm that's waiting for mine to close , and take his hand immediately.

He is right. We don't want me to get lost in here .

The smell of pot fills my nostrils and I immediately know that me coming here was  probably a bad idea .

I've never done drugs . Hard or soft .

" Hey there's a pool table here " i state " I wanna play "

" I'm gonna teach you " he speak loud through the music and the people we're passing

I suddenly see the guys sitting in a round table that's big enough to place their drinks on .

" I see them " I say I start leading the way

As we're getting closer Jacob eyes shift to me and then to Alex's and mine interlocked hands . I immediately let go of his arm and take a faster step ahead suddenly feeling weird about it .

" Big table I see " I say as I rest one arm on Mikes shoulder

" Sit down , it's big enough " Mike points to the empty seat besides him , Alex sitting next to me

" What did you guys get ?" I throw my head a little bit up to peak at their drinks

" Vodka cranberry " Jacob replies, him being exactly on the opposite side of our table infront of me

I nod at him as I keep my eyes on his

" Is it good ?" I ask him tilting my head a bit

He takes a sip out of it still looking at me and then puts it back down

" Very good " He nods back at me

I stand there watching his lips licking each other for a moment and as I open my mouth to reply but Alex cuts me off .

" You want me to go and grab you one and the go for pooling?" He asks

I turn my gaze at him , nodding.

" Take it easy tho " Mike says from beside me as Alex gets up from his seat

" Like you guys do ?" I scoff dragging my eyes to all of them

" Im older " Mike states

" Hey Jacob how the team going " Troy asks

" Fine , we are going to finals this month or the next one " he says placing his arm in the table , resting his head on is thumb and pointer finger

" Yeah my boy is the best  at the game that's why he is the captain " Mike pounds his shoulder

Yeah for sure .

Jacob's eyes go straight to me clearly wanting to get a reaction of me but I don't do him the favor.

" Here's your drink " Alex hands me the liquor

" Thank you Alex " I smile to him taking a sip

The alcohol going in my mouth tastes sour at the beginning but then leaves a sweetness behind .

Now I understand why you drink it , Jacob. It's just like you .

" Its very good " I nod

" I know right ?" Mike says in an existing tone
