Into The Spotlight

Karaoke Night

"Karaoke Night bitches," shouts Liam as he starts taking shots in the back seat of the car.

"Dude if we get pulled over we are fucked because of this clown back there," says Ralph as Liam shoves a shot in his face.

"Drink it," Liam argues.

"No," replies Ralph as he sits in the seat praying cops do not show up anywhere in their vicinity.

Liam trying to have a good time brings the shot back up under his nose. "Drink it pussy," he insists as Ralph drinks it quick as he throws the shot glass on the floor.

"Oh my god what an animal," says Lauren as she laughs at Ralph's paranoia.

Matthew pulls into the parking lot of their favorite bar they go to every Friday night. The crew jumps out ecstatic as Liam falls out of the car. Tessa and Lauren help him up as he brushes off his jacket.

"I'm ok, I'm ok I just miscalculated my step," he assures everyone as he looks around for some hot babes walking in.

Lauren touched up her lipstick as they walk towards the door. Matthew opens it for everyone as Liam goes straight to the bar. Ralph shakes his head as it is only 8 pm.

The bar has neon lights flowing around as the smell of booze and good times runs through the air. The group always loves to sit close to the stage which is right by the back right corner.

"You gotta love that kid he always gives us a good laugh," says Matthew as he puts his around Tessa.

"I mean he has only been doing it for two years now," Tessa points out as Matthew doesn't take the slander.

"I know but it never gets old," Matthew laughs as he watches his best friend already hitting on a girl at the bar.

"I'm sorry you said you were from Russia, wow I didn't know such an evil place spawned such beauties," Liam tells the girl at the bar as she blushes.

"Yeah all the pretty ones escaped here to America," she replies as Liam smiles at his boys and nods up.

"So how were finals for everyone this week," asks Ralph as they are stoked college finals are over for the year.

"Well I got all A's," mentions Tessa as Matthew hugs her tight.

"My girl always gets straight A's," he says as she smiles and kisses him passionately.

Liam comes walking back with the Russian girl as they take a seat at the table. "Everyone this is Irina, she is from Russia and an absolute beauty," says Liam as everyone waves and introduces themself.

"We were just asking everyone how finals went," says Matthew as Liam yells boring. "I know you don't care me and Ralph pretty much carried you through every end-of-year test since the second grade."

"Yeah well I'm only good at one subject," says Liam as Tessa looks over.

Tessa knows his answer as it is always women. She takes the moment to try and embarrass him in front of Irina. "And what subject is that Liam," she asks as everyone smiles.

"Russian," he says with a big smile as Irina laughs out loud. Lauren rolls her eyes as she can't stop laughing at how quickly he is on the trigger.

"I love this kid he will make you laugh til the roof falls off," says Matthew as Ralph still can't get over Liam's smooth-playing attitude.

The lights dim as karaoke is about to begin. The host introduces himself and welcomes everyone out. He starts to ask for volunteers to see who is going to go first.

"Alright do we have a volunteer amongst us for the duet or do we need to play the straw game," asks Ralph as no one volunteers for that shit every time besides himself.
