All The Arts That We're Not

Chapter 14

Arkin

"Are you sure it's okay?" Arkin questioned as they stood infront of a bar. He's never been in one before, obviously because he's not yet in a legal age to be in a place like this.

Gab tap him on the shoulder. "Of course it's okay. You're not 21? That's not a problem."

"How? Not unless you own this place that you can just let someone get in without restrictions."

"What if we tell you, he does own this place?" Arkin sent a shocked face to Tim.

"Seriously?"

"No, just kidding." Tim said and they laughed at Arkin who only roll his eyes.

"Just follow us." He then do as what Harry told him and watched how he exchange glances with the bouncer before nodding their heads as if their eyes spoke. And just like that, they were able to enter the establishment very easily.

"How did he do that?" Arkin asked as they pushes through people blocking the way.

Gab sniggered. "Harry used to work here. He's friends with the bouncers if you're still wondering." That left Arkin quite amused.

It only makes him realize how nice having connections. It usually makes life easier.

"What do you think?"

"I think this place is nasty as shit. I smell nothing but alcohol and sweat."

"Come on, what do you expect? This is a bar. Better keep this experience as your reference." Gab nudged him on his side. "You know what? We bring you here because we wanted you to experience life. Drink as many beer as you like. You could even talk to girls if you like. Just have fun tonight, okay?"

"Whatever." He responded as they make their way to an empty table and started ordering some drinks.

It's something Arkin never thought he would experience before turning into the legal of alcohol consumption. But it does sounds fun. And It feels nice being able to have these people who made you experience your firsts in life.

"How are you and Zeke now?" Arkin paused from taking a sip from his bottle to look at Tim.

"We're okay now. I guess."

"What does that mean?"

"We were able to talk to each other yesterday and was able to explain myself and clear things out between us two."

Tim nodded his head. "That's nice. I'm glad you're okay now. You know, we're in the same environment so it's just right that no beef's gonna ruin us." Arkin forced a smile and heard Gab and Harry sniggered who was listening the whole time.

"Just what were you thinking? You paid those guys a hundred thousand like it's just a penny. You really can't blame Zeke why he acted like that."

"If you're in my shoes, I know you'd do the same thing, regardless how much money it would takes to help a friend."

"Wow, I didn't know you were that kind." Said Harry.

"But that was really impressive. I must say. Tell us, Arkin. Just how rich are you?" He snigger at Gab's question. He takes a sip of his beer before letting out a small chuckle.

"My parents are rich, not me."

"That's the same thing. I'm sure they gave you money which makes you rich."

"That's really not what I thought about it."

"Well, are you planning on becoming a lawyer or maybe a prosecutor one day just like your parents? Doesn't they make good money there?"
