Through his eyes

Theodore

A few days had passed and as funny as it sounds I was bored to death. Normally I wouldn't mind spending all my time at home but lately I'm just restless - I also won't have to work until the weekend before school, which is like 4 days away.

Spending all this time alone also made me realise that Ezra is actually my only friend, does it bother me? No.
He knows way more people than I know and that's completely fine and normal.

Imani was hiking with her brother and parents so there was no way for us to go out together,
having no other choice I send Ezra a message asking him what he's doing tonight.

And that's basically how I ended up in a nightclub.

It was me, Ezra and another guy from school Mateo. I remember him because he helped me get Ezra the day Peter stole my clothes.

"Uhh are we even legally allowed to go in there?" I asked staring at the big building with neon lights on it

"I have my ways" Ezra said proudly

"How long do you guys think we're staying? I told my mom I would be back home by 11:30pm" Mateo said causing me and Ezra to look at him dumbfounded

"I'm just joking guys" he said laughing "here take this" Mateo said handing each of us a little pill

"What's that?" I asked

"Peppermint" he said downing the pill in a swift motion, Ezra joined him and I shrugged downing the pill too.

"What I meant to say it's viagra with peppermint taste" Mateo said smiling brightly, my eyes widened in shock

"Works with me" Ezra said unfazed

"Mateo tell me you're joking!" I questioned loudly

"Calm down loverboy, tonight is all about having fun okay?" He said grabbing me by my shoulder

"No no no, you two might be single but I have a girlfriend" I tried reasoning with him "I'm going ho-"

I was cut off by a female voice yelling for Ezra.

"Ezra! What are you waiting for? get in here!" The girl shouted from the back entrance

"Too late to make that choice now, I got the keys remember?" Ezra said with the keys dangling in front of my face

"I don't care I'll walk home"
Just as I was to walk home Ezra grabbed me by the back of my hoodie

"No you're not" he said pulling me with him
"You said you're bored and now we're gonna have some fun" Ezra adds

I sigh giving in, "but not for long"

The moment we went inside we got hit with the smell of sweat, alcohol and perfume.
Walking in here I thought it was just a normal club but my goodness was I wrong.

"Ezra, is this a stripclub?!" I asked over the loud music and he nods 'yeah'.
I pinch the bridge of my nose my excitement for tonight already down the drain.

The girl from earlier guides us towards a more private area of the club were the three of us got comfortable, with a perfect view to the uhm dancers on the pole.

"I am so excited! It's actually my first time here" Mateo said amazed causing Ezra to laugh while I crossed my arms over my chest,

"Would you guys like something to drink?" A girl dressed in very very little clothing asked
