Lara Smith

Chapter 8

A girl in a tight red dress opened the door.

“Who are you guys?”

I spoke up “Oh we heard that there was a party on this street and though we would check it out…. This is the party, correct?” I asked

“Yeah but why should I let you guys come in…. I don’t even know you.” She replied snootily.

In that moment, mark walked up to the girl and put his arm around her. “Hey beautiful, I know my friends look lame, but trust me, they are party animals. Plus you should let us in so I can get to know you better” He said smoothly, and added a wink in at the end to make his attempts at flirting seem legitimate.

She giggled, “Well what are you crazy kids doing still standing here? Come on in! And I will get YOU a drink” she said to mark.

“Hell yeah! Lets PARTAY!” I screamed for added excitement and stepped in the house.

The party was in full swing. They’re kids in the middle of the huge living room grinding on one another. The furniture had been pushed up against the walls and there were colored laser lights coming down from the ceiling. This girl must be loaded. The mansion was probably the same size as our school. Ok, well that’s a little exaggerated, but this place was definitely no shack.

Micah and I walked into the kitchen and grabbed some sodas. Mark went straight for the bar, but I gave him a look that had him running towards the cooler full of water bottles. He better not get drunk and screw us up. There is no way Mark, of all people, is going to make Mr. Santos regret choosing me to lead out on this mission.

“Here you are my lady” Micah said while handing me a can of cream soda, my favorite soft drink.

“Oh why thank you, my prince,” I said. This whole boyfriend girlfriend thing is surprisingly easy. I thought I would be so nervous every time I’m with Micah, but its not like that at all. It’s so easy to be with him. I can be goofy or silly without being self conscious or embarrassed. He’s so easy to talk to. On our second date I farted. I know! The worst thing ever. He laughed and farted back! He didn’t even care. He said, “I am aware that girls fart, and it doesn’t bother me.” After that I talked him to the floor and…. Well I don’t kiss and tell.

“Oh, so I’m your prince now?” He asked.

“Well every princess needs her prince, and we all know I’m royal!” I joked

“Yeah a royal pain in my…” He began but was cut off by Ellz running up to us and pulling us into the pantry.

“Saved by ellz, Micah” I said, giving him a ‘you got lucky’ look.

“Guys! I think I know whose the main dealer!” Ellz whispered to us.

“Who” Micah and I asked

“Well I saw this boy in a blue polo shirt walk up to a dude in a leather jacket. The dude was covered in tattoos and had an eyebrow piercing. I thought nothing of it, until I saw the guy in blue whisper in eye ring boys ear. Then they walked upstairs! I don’t think they went to go hangout.” She said

“Wow good job Ellz. Go get Mark and meet us in the upstairs bathroom.” I told her.

“Okay see you in 2 minutes” she said and left to go find mark.

“Come one Micah,” I said.

He grabbed my arm and pulled me into a very passionate kiss. “Just in case” He said.

I smiled and punched him in the gut. “Just in case” I said back.

“Why do you always have to be so violent” He said while rubbing g his stomach.
