The Bad Boy I Once Knew | G. D.

Chapter 15

"...Happy birthday to you!" we all sang to the twins. Cameron and Jake then grabbed some frosting from the cake onto their fingers, and smeared it on each of their noses. We all laughed, and Aaron took the cake from them so he can cut it. I then went over towards Grayson, giving him a side hug. I pulled away saying, "You look cute," and took the frosting from his nose onto my finger, and licked it. "Your cuter," he smirked, and I just giggled. Aaron soon handed us our plate of cake, and it tasted so good. Mainly cause the nearest grocery store made it.

As most of us were finishing up our cake, we all wanted Grayson and Ethan to open up their gifts. After opening up some of the other's gifts, they both moved onto my gift. They both opened it up at the same time, both gifts revealing a matching Vans sweatshirt and shoes. I knew both of them loves Vans, so I had that kind of idea as their birthday gift. But I got them both a better gift for Christmas, along with everyone else. They both looked so happy once they opened my gift, and they soon finished opening up everyone's gifts.

Since they are both now 21, they wanted to go to a club. But Julia and I are still 20, so that means the only thing that we can't do is drink. But it's okay for me though, cause I've done that at many high school parties. As long as everyone else has fun, I know I will. We all took separate cars, and I was sitting in the middle between Grayson and Julia. Grayson grabbed my hand, and said, "You didn't have to get us such an expensive gift like that."

"It's you guys birthday. And plus I wanted to," I said nuzzling my head into his shoulder. I then felt him grab my hand tighter, and kiss the top of my head. I smiled at this moment. Ethan soon started blasting music throughout the radio, and we started singing to the lyrics.

By the time we finished singing a couple of songs during the car ride, we soon made it to the club. We followed along Cameron's car, and parked right next to them. We all got out of each other's car, and we started heading for the entrance. We soon got past the guards on the entrance, and they even informed Julia and I about not drinking. The club was dark inside, but with some light. It was also filled with lots of people and loud music. "Leggo!" Jack yelled over the music, and brought some of the guys onto the dance floor.

The rest of us laughed, and Grayson and I headed over to the bar. We both sat down in booth seats, and Grayson already started buying a drink. "Already?" I asked him with a laugh. He laughed too, and said, "Why not? I'm already old enough." He's kinda true. He soon got his drink, and I just ordered a cup of water. We both started drinking our drinks, and Gray soon wanted to go onto the dance floor.

Once I finished my cup, I hurried over to the dance floor with him. We both started dancing to the up-beat song that was playing, and we soon met the rest of the guys out on the dance floor. We all started dancing crazy, and I already felt myself getting that hyper feeling inside me. It made me feel good, and especially happy with the company I'm with.

We all danced to a couple more songs, and even some of the guys took a break. I even danced to some more, and I soon took a break with Julia on the side. "You gotta try this," she said, handing me a cup.

"What is it?" I asked.

"It's Nate's drink, he wanted me to hold it for him while he went out to the bathroom," she told me.

"I'm not trying it! That's alcohol," I exclaimed.

"So? It's not like we're teenagers. It's only a year difference right now for us," she said with a stern look on her face. She's pretty right about that, but still. "What if we get caught?" I asked her.

"We won't get caught, there's about 300 or more people in this small place," she said with a slight laugh. "Just drink from Grayson's cup. But don't drink a lot to make you too crazy." She laughed again. I only had alcohol about two times, and both times the drink didn't taste so good. "I guess so," I said grabbing her cup, and taking a small sip.
