Fears - a BFB AU

Chapter 7 - Liy

Pen was feeling woozy. He drank about seven shots of liquor last night. Despite clearly lying about his age, the bartender assumed he was 21 and decided to give him some shots anyway. He thought Pen was going to share the shots with us, which is why he gave him exactly seven. Instead of sharing the shots, Pen drank them all in the span of ten seconds. Pen woke the room up by falling flat on his face during the morning sunrise. He was clearly still dizzy, which surprised no one.

"Hayy giys! Yaknow, whenever I'm thinking about Treeh nawt sleepin with me, I get all sad and stuff, but whenevs I'm with y'all, I'm ALLL happy agayn!" Pen slurred, obviously drunk.

"Okay?" Tree said with a large grin.

"Yahh I know am drunk!" Pen continued.

I whispered in Tree's ear, asking him why he was so calm about this. He explained Pen always acted silly when he drank too much.

"Nevamind I'll just sleep by myself. YAYYYYYY!" Pen kept on talking. He was hammered.

Remote chuckled and started recording to possibly get some good footage of drunk Pen. She recorded for about a minute and managed to get Pen to say the most outrageous things on camera. He even started dancing in the middle of the room. Tree then burst into hysterics.

"This is why I'm sober, unlike this idiot." Tree calmly remarked.

It took about an hour for Pen to become normal again. Remote didn't tell him about the footage, but she was definitely going to show some of her friends the video for giggles.

The room ate breakfast and talked with each other for another hour. They were discussing what they would do at the beach that day. Tree planned to go swimming in the ocean and beat Pen up. Pen said he would bring his surfboard, which barely fit in the car that trip. I knew Remote had a fear of water, being electronic. As a result, I decided I would hang out with Remote on the recliners next to the beach. Although she was scared of water and anything in it, she still loved going to the beach, as she could get a free tan and visit the local shops. While we were talking, we heard our doorbell ring. We knew it was Pillow and the others since Pillow had texted us before when she would be arriving at the door. Tree opened the door and saw Pillow, Pie, and Bottle all in their swim gear.

"You guys ready to hit the beach or what?" Bottle excitedly squealed.

"You already know it." Pen snidely replied. He was the only one out of all of us who had changed into his swim gear before Bottle and friends arrived.

The rest of us except Remote changed into our swim gear. Since everyone was lazy and wanted a tan, no one decided to put sunblock on. Although it was 95 degrees outside, the sun wasn't directly on us. We walked out of the room and carried on to the beach. We walked out of the building and saw the lady at the front desk glare at Pie. Pie pretended not to notice her, as she didn't care about that type of stuff. The walk to the beach was rather short, lasting about 5 minutes. We took a route through the city square and saw many others going to the beach too. It didn't take long before we found the shore. Pen instantly took off his sandals and t-shirt and darted into the water. He took his surfboard and went out deep into the ocean. Tree, Bottle, Pie, and Pillow followed shortly after. The ocean was particularly warm that day, as I went to feel the temperature of the water. Being the nice, introverted person I was, I carried all of our belongings and found some recliners for us. Remote and I found the perfect spot and lay in the hot, dry sun. Remote put her sunglasses on and started to get into the zone.

"You can go in the ocean if you want. Don't let me stop you from having fun." Remote politely exclaimed.

"Are you sure? Wouldn't I be considered a bad friend to leave you here alone?" I asked.

"Not at all. I know for a fact you like the water. Plus, I was gonna fall asleep anyways."

I shrugged and went into the water too. I slowly got in, but quickly realized Bottle and Pillow splashing each other. When they both saw me, they noticed I hadn't gotten that wet yet, and proceeded to spray me with water. I got drenched within a matter of seconds. I splashed them back and pulled out my secret. I hadn't told my friends this, but I brought along a water gun. Now in hysterics, I sprayed them. They had no other choice but to retreat. I maniacally laughed at them and chased them through the ocean. Pen and Tree eventually joined in on the fun, with Pen using his surfboard as a shield. That day, there weren't many waves since there was no wind. As a result, Pen didn't surf much at all. We played like this for a while, until Pen went over to Remote and searched his bag. He pulled out a football and we played a couple of 3 versus 3 games. It was apparent that Pie, Bottle, and Pillow would be on a team, and I was stuck with Pen and Tree. I didn't mind, but I predicted the outcome of the teams. Pen was an athletic freak. He threw footballs faster than a speeding car and with military sniper-like accuracy. All of us except Bottle had experience playing football, as there was a boys and girls football team at our high school. Pen threw a long bomb to Tree, who dove into the water to get the ball. Tree caught the ball with one hand and taunted the other team by hitting the "Griddy" on Bottle, who he had scored on. I laughed at this since Tree was celebrating on someone who had never played football a day in her life. We played football for a good 30 minutes and had a blast doing so. We all went to wake Remote up and get lunch. When we went over to wake Remote up, she was out like a light. She had gotten a slight tan, but not too much since we only played in the ocean for about two hours. I lightly tapped Remote to wake her up.
