Its Not Summer Anymore

Chapter 11

I finally reach the top and turn off the Four Wheeler. I stick the joint in my mouth that I've been hiding in my hand. I snap the lighter twice and it lights. I suck on it and love the taste. I suck on it some more and my head starts to get fuzzy. I feel light headed and keep going. I almost finish the first one when a dirt bike pulls up behind me. I turn around and see Stephen.

I roll my eyes and blow out the smoke. He walks over to me and gives me a weird look. "Is that pot?" He says standing in front of me. I suck the last of the smoke out of the joint and throw it on the ground. I blow the smoke out slow and let it roll out of my mouth.

" Yep." I say sticking another joint in my mouth and lighting it up. He snatches it from my lips and says," You can't smoke that." I stand up and try to snatch it back but he pulls it out of my reach.

"Give it back,"I yell. He puts his hand to stop me and says," I can't believe I'm doing this." Stephen says as he sucks on the joint in hauling the smoke and making O's with it as he blows it out I give him a approving look as he hands the joint back to me. I suck it in and let it roll out of my mouth slowly. " You've done this before?" I say to Stephen looking at the horizon. "I did go to collage." He says grabbing the joint back and sucking on it again.

I finish it off and throw it on the ground lighting another one. "Another really. Should I be allowing this?" Stephen says questioning. I finally get it lite and say," This is nothing I smoked 10 in a row once never been so stoned in my life." I say sucking on the joint and handing it over to Stephen.

"So why are you mad at Derrick?" Stephen says handing the joint back to me. I snap my head at him from the horizon and say defensively," I'm not mad he just lied." I say sucking on the joint. " Well what did he lie about that got you so pissed off." He says putting his hand out for the joint. "That lying bastered told me he broke up with that chick. And we'll he clearly didn't." He finishes it off and throws it on the ground.

"And how does that effect you?"

I look at him and grab another joint from my hand when he says,"OK I think you've had enough." He says taking the joint from me I'm so high I don't fight with him. "Whatever." I look back at the horizon. "Well why dose it matter if he has a girlfriend." I roll my head over to him and say slurring and laughing,"I slept with him. Didn't you get that back at the house." I keep laughing on controllably "Can you believe that bitch died her hair to match mine." I keep laughing and can't stop. My laugh turns into gasp of air because I'm laughing so hard. I finally calm down. And look over at Stephen that has a very angry look on his face.

"You slept with him. When When did you..." He jumps up and grabs his head with his hands he starts pasting and screams. I jump at how angry he is. He walks over to his dirt bike and starts it up

"Shit." I yell starting the four wheeler. And flying after him.

He gets to the house before me. I jump off the four wheeler not bothering to turn it off and get to the house to see Stephen pulling Derrick out of the house by his shirt. He pulls him off the porch and yells,"You slept with her." Stephen points at me standing in terror. "I.......I....." Derrick says. "You what didn't think I would care." Stephen says yelling like a mad man. Everyone's outside including Tyler. Trent walks out and grabs Stephen before he looses his temper for real.

Derrick stands there shocked and speechless. I walk over to him and grab him by his arm. And pull him away from Stephen sitting on the porch glaring at him along with Tyler.

"Are you high." Derrick ask me walking beside me over the creek. I hold my thumb and index finger apart indicating a little. He grabs my face and looks at my eyes. "Your fucking stoned." He says with a chuckle.
