Surfing with Eli

Chapter 3

Luka:

"He's still giving out stickers?" Grey groaned as Peter handed out one to every group member, I'd practically dragged Grey all the way over here today since everyone was allowed to bring in a visitor if they wanted to. I just wanted the company and so he could feel my pain.

When I received my own sticker I leaned over and stuck it to Grey's forehead, "Gee thanks" he said sarcastically but didn't make a move to peal it off. For some reason I was eyeing the door, I guess it was to see if my partner was appearing today or not.

Speaking of the devil he walked in speaking with Peter before turning and meeting my gaze. I started to sit up straighter as he made his way over to the chair on my other side opposite of Grey.

"That him?" Grey asked scanning his eyes up and down Eli, I didn't reply as he came over and sat down, "Hey you must be Grey" Eli said smiling as he reached over me and shook Grey's hand, "The one and only friend he's got" Grey smirked glancing at me.

"I'm not opposed to the idea of starting a fight in the hospital" I said evenly glaring at him which only made his stupid smirk grow. "He's hot" was all he said in response that was quiet enough so that Eli couldn't over hear us.

"Hey guys" a voice called out making me jerk my head up to see Miles Lacroy pulling an extra chair over to where the three of us sat. What the hell? I punch some guy in the face for the kid one time and that makes us group friends now? Jesus I really was becoming popular in group now.

"Mind if I join you all over here?" Miles asked sitting down next to Grey, "Join the party" Grey said with a warm smile. I knew exactly what that dumb smile meant.

"What did you do last night?" Eli nudged me in the side gaining my attention, he had messaged me last night but I had ignored him I guess I figured he would touch base on it today. "Living the dream" I replied in a bored tone, I wasn't up for conversation today I just wanted to go surfing.

Eli shrugged and turned his gaze back to the front of the room to where Peter was going on about something, now I don't know why but I was a bit annoyed about how easily he dropped the subject.

Which was just stupid because I had done nothing but be a jerk to the guy so why would he care if I kept doing it, but then an unnerving thought rolled into my head and it made me internally sigh. My mom would be disappointed in me if she knew how I was acting towards people, especially since Eli seemed like an okay guy.

Even more weird was that he seemed like he wanted to be friends with me. She would have smacked the back of my head and told me to use my manners and then baked up some cookies to apologize for my asshole behaviour to Eli.

"You want to go surfing with me and Grey after session is over?" I asked not turning to see his reaction. "Yeah sounds good" he replied in his usual laid back demeanour, he was slouching in his seat with his hands in his pockets and the corners of his lips turned slighting upward.

As if he knew I would ask him to hangout with me before I even did, cocky bastard.

"You want to join in too Miles?" I looked over to watch Grey wait for his reply, now Miles was entering our gang? "I've never been surfing before" he said with wide eyes at Grey's invitation.

"It's not too hard we'll show you how it's done, right guys?" Grey looked over at Eli and I for some agreement, what the hell, Miles was a shy guy and he could use some friends anyway so why not, "Sure" Eli smiled while I nodded my head.

When session ended the four of us headed to my jeep and piled inside, apparently I had become the chauffer because I had to drop off both Eli and Miles at their houses to grab some beach attire and then drive them all out to the beach.
