The New Beginning

Chapter 24- Talk Is Cheap (Carson's POV)

"So, we still hanging Friday?" Traycan asked standing in my kitchen shoving popcorn in his mouth.

"Yup, planning on it." I answered grabbing another Gatorade from the fridge and taking a big chug.

"So who is all going to be?" He asked walking out of the kitchen ing and landing on the couch with a loud thump."obviously, not Alex or Dustin. Well at least not both. Things are way to awkward between them. Totally would ruin the fun."

"I was thinking you, me, Tyler, James, maybe Jacob?" I said. "Maybe invite some girls over to watch movies?"

"No, no girls. Every time we have girls over with guys it never ends well!" Tray yelled causing me to laugh. He kind of had a point. Last time Clair had a the 'party'. Awkwardest time ever!

"It wasn't that bad plus neither Dustin or Alex will be here. Plus one of those girls is your girl friend" I stated watching a wicked grin crawl across his face.

"I know, but we are in desperate need of a guys night." He said slouching back father in the couch surfing through tv channels.

"She has plans doesn't she." I said.

"With Clair. I really don't want to spend the night listening to Clair. She is cool and all but with everything happening and the stuff Alex has said ,I think it is best if I steer clear before I say something that will get him in trouble." He had a point. Traycan wasn't the best with secrets.

"Agreed, so you, me, Tyler, James, And Jacob?" I asked questionably.

"No, Jacob he creeps me out, and I know for a fact that Tyler and James are going to some party."

"Your not? I haven't seen you at a lot of party's here lately."

"Jamie never wants to go since the one a while back. Still have no clue what happened."

"The one you guys started dating at?" I asked confused.

"Yup. She says something happened to Clair and now she is terrified." He continued.

"Wait.. What happened with Clair?" I worried look forming on my face.

"She didn't say. Just that party's now freak her out." He said giving me an uneasy confused look.

"There is a lot of things that could freak her out. I'm sure it is nothing." I said.

"Probably just too many guys try to hit on her or she had to much to drink. She did miss school the next day."

"Your right. Probably too big of a hangover." I lied. I knew Clair didn't drink. I definitely would talk to her later about this."so, it's just gonna be me and you?"

"Yup. Call of duty marathon?" He said

" works for me. I can kick your butt at that anytime."

"Talk is cheap....."
