Reckless

His Friends

Dax's POV

As expected,my phone rang a few minutes following their departure. I have awaited this moment just to laugh in their faces... figuratively of course. Instead, the call was from my mom demanding me to go buy soy sauce on the way home. Which was going to be tomorrow. How clever of her. I cleaned up Joe's haircut, tidied up the living room, and the rest of the disastrous like mess the boys made and still did not receive a call from neither Danniel,Huy,orLJ. Maybe I underestimated them. LJ could be smart if he wasn't fooling around 75% of the time. That was still the majority where his inner 5 year old sprang out. I have no hope for Danniel or Huy whatsoever so I guess I'm basically screwed.

You know how Asians are depicted as smart stereotypically as a race? Well that doesn't apply to them.. at all. I managed to get ready and style my hair,which was very time absorbing, before getting a call from Danniel. Now they're admitting they're lost after what seemed like 45 minutes. I told you they were complete imbeciles.

"Lost,are you?'', I asked confidently.

"What?No. You see Huy forget to close the front door to his house so we drove to his house and turns out it was locked after all. Then we got hungry and went to 'Jack In The Box'.'' I have no words for that.

"Aren't you forgetting something?''

"No, we remembered to get honey mustard."

" I mean a certain someone.''

"LJ and Huy are here right next to me. Wait,did we....no.''

"I'm talking about Aicka! You're supposed to pick her up. That's why I sent you out in the first place!'

"Oh yeah! Sorry DJ! Guys, we have to go to 329 Peach Tree Lane!''

"That's not even where she lives!", I cried at the idiocy. "2800 Tourbrook Way. Did you get that?''

"Yeah. LJ is putting in the address in Google Maps." At least, something was accomplished. Remembering to let the dogs out, I opened the backyard door to see the remainder of the guys petting a cat. Since when did I own a cat?

"There,there.'',Justin cooed, raking his fingers along the cat's matted orange fur. The cat seemed to have seen me and hissed at my appearance, backing up into the wall. Its emerald green eyes squinted as it bared its fangs when I stepped closer. Before I got within close distance of the cat, the guys stepped in front of me. Furious and angry looks on their faces. Were they really defending a stray cat right now? Justin's once radiant beam had transformed into a frown of demise.

"You are not going to touch Princess", he firmly planted his feet on the ground,crossing his arms.

"Yeah bro. Go away , she doesn't like you.", Allen,one of my good friends on the crew, chirped. Tired and agitated , I turned away to enter my house. If my day hasn't gotten any weirder.

Aicka's POV

The once cloudless afternoon sky was blemished with bulky,grey clouds. The same clouds that screamed sorrow,dismay,and depression each time they rolled around. I scanned the cascading street. Everything was still as if nothing had ever been touched. A kid or two would appear in the sidewalk from time to time for the 6th time in 10 minutes.

Dax's friends still had not shown up yet and it was almost 4 o'clock. My brother peered through the bathroom window,probably wondering why I was still sitting on the doorstep. I waved and softly smiled. From the slight curve of the street , a blue sedan slowly driving could be seen. As it got closer, I noticed it was Mr.Chang, my neighbor who couldn't quite see well and as a result, drove slowly.Still a wonder how he makes it to work daily.

Following Mr.Chang's car, raced by a silver hatchback and in it were two guys, Asian to the looks of it, talking into a phone. They paused to a halt and slowly reversed the car to where my house was. I'm guessing those were Dax's friends.

A tall,lanky boy hopped out of the car and scurried to where I was.

"You're Aicka right? I'm Huy, Dax's best friend. Wait.. SOULMATE", he declared sarcastically.

"Yeah, if you don't mind me asking, why were you so friggin' late?''

"No time, we have to go.'' Huy dragged me to the hatchback and I opened the door,immediately being welcomed and greeted by two other people. This is going to be interesting.
