SELLOUT

     Harry leaned back slightly in a lawn chair as he watched the usual crowd that gathered up at the lot. People would pull into the abandoned outdoor recreation center and hang around by the empty pool and use it as a skate center. The rest of the crowd -along with Harry- came to drink and test out their pyromaniac ways with bonfires. Harry and his group sat in a horseshoe formation, talking while some of the girls danced around. Chloe kept making eye contact with Harry before she'd turn around and roll her hips in a circle for him. His eyes obviously attracted to her behind as his index finger and thumb played with his lower lip. He was slouched down in his chair with his legs slightly parted, his other hand held a bottle of beer. 

     James and Van became background noise as Harry selectively tuned them out to listen to the music playing from other cars. He heard a familiar song from the night before with Eden and that's when his mind wandered onto her. His eyes averted from Chloe to the dry grass beneath his boots. He thought about making plans to hang out with Eden again since he did have quite a good time with her. They both shared a similar taste in music -thank god because Chloe always complained about his music and demanded on changing it to something else. Harry stopped playing with his lip and leaned forward, pulling his phone out from his back pocket. He unlocked the screen and went to his messages. He hit Eden's name and started typing in a message with his thumb.

          11:23PM  so I was thinking maybe going to that chips place to hang out? if that's alright with you of course...

     Harry locked his phone again but rested it face down on his thigh as he took a sip of his beer. He felt a sense of tiredness hit as he knocked his head back and looked up at the night sky and the naked tree tops. His eyes started connecting the stars into drawings before he felt his phone vibrate on his leg. He snapped his head up to pick it up and unlock it.

     Harry smirked and laughed a little as he shook his head.

          11:26PM fair enough. but hey, i've got to go, i'm out right now but i'll text you when we should go later, yeah?

     Before Harry could lock his phone, Chloe walked over to him and dragged his attention up to her. Harry slipped his phone in his back pocket and as soon as his hand became free, she grabbed it and pulled him up.
