High Hopes

Thirteen - Club Karaoke

Picture above is Garrett.

I picked through Kayla's clothes. It's not that I don't like them, it's just that they wouldn't look good on me. Kayla grabbed a white lace crop top and red high waisted shorts. Kendra took a purple sundress and moved to the mirror. I sighed. Why do I have to be so difficult?

"I can't find anything." I moaned.

"Just look towards the back. I have older stuff is back there." Kayla called from her bathroom.

I moved more into the closet so I could get to the back. I went through the same ole stuff until I found the perfect outfit. I grabbed an aqua blue floral skirt and a white tank top along with a green cardigan.

The club was packed when we got there. Apparently a lot of people like karaoke here. I just hope they don't make me sing in front of all these people.

A man held open the door for us and we said our 'thank you'. Everyone else in the club was young, around our age. I assume that means the bar is closed because we had to use fake IDs last time. We circled the tables, trying to find a seat.

"Oh there's Gabe and Alex!" Kayla and Kendra headed towards where Kendra spotted them. I rolled my eyes and trailed behind. I am not in the mood for Gabe and I don't even know what to say to Alex.

"Hey." Gabe nodded to Kendra and Kayla. His eyes switched to me and it seemed as though he were checking me out when his eyes lingered a bit lower than my face. "Your brother and Garrett are over there. Just try not to make out with him this time." Gabe pointed to another table.

"Haha. Where's your skank?" I raised my eyebrows.

"I don't know and don't care." He shrugged.

"Wow. I thought you would've known. Wait. You're Gabe Gordon. Of course you don't know shit." I smirked.

Gabe's mouth twitched with rage but I could see him trying to calm down. "Did something happen between you two?" Kayla interrupted our stare down.

"Yes." I answered for both of us. "I'm going to see my brother." I turned and headed towards Mike. He might as well be better than Gabe.

Of course girls were bound to be lingering in the shadows around him. He's apparently a 'hottie' you see, I believe my brother is ugly but he's my brother.

"What are you doing here?" I asked as I sat down in the empty seat beside him.

"Me? What about you? This is a club." Mike inferred.

I shrugged."Been here before and I have my own fake ID."

"You do not." Mike's eyes widened which caused me to crack a smirk.

"Oh yeah." I nodded. He got up furiously and headed towards the bar.

"You can really push his buttons huh?" Garrett asked, leaning over the table.

"I guess. I don't try. I'm not use to him being around lately."

"About the other day, I'm sorry."

"Sorry for what?" I asked.

"You know...This." Garrett leaned forward and kissed me yet again.

"If you are sorry why did you do it again?" I smiled.

"Maybe I'm not." Garrett smiled flirtatiously and before he could do anything else, Mike came back.

"I told the bartender not to serve you any drinks." He folded his arms over his chest.
