Bowling Gone Wrong

JAMES' POV

I'm sitting in my room right now. Bored. So bored. Friday night and I'm sitting in my room, bored.

That's my Friday night.

Luke is... Actually I have no idea where Luke is. He's probably out with Dara somewhere. At least he has something to do. I sure don't.

What does a guy do on a Friday night when his girlfriend lives 15 hours away from him?

Yeah I'm clueless.

I could call someone? I really have no one I like enough to actually want to hang out with them. Screw it, I'm just calling Grace. Maybe it just be a catch up night where we talk about everything.

It rang about six times before going to her voice mail.

"Hi this is Grace, sorry I can't get to the phone right now. Leave me your name and number and I will call back as soon as I can. Have a good day!"

I heard the beep telling me to leave a message.

"Hey babe, it's me. Call me back when you get the chance. Love you." Well that's a bummer.

My girlfriend didn't even answer me. Wow. Yeah, okay I'm going to bed. I jumped into my bed and put my hands behind my head.

I turned my head to check my alarm clock next to my bed.

7:24

I let out a groan. Ugh! It's only seven thirty? This is gonna be a long night.

I pulled out my phone and opened the app candy crush. No more lives... More like I have no life.

I'm just gonna call Luke and see where he's at. Maybe I could go wherever he is. I pulled out my phone and his contact and call his number. It took 4 rings before he answered.

"Hey man."

"Hey Luke. Uh, where you at? Wanna meet up somewhere?"

"Uh yeah sure. I'm actually on my way to go bowling with Dara and we're gonna meet up with Josh and Mark..."

I cringed at the sound of his name.

"I didn't invite him. Josh just said he was bringing him. You don't have to come if you don't wanna James. It's okay." Luke said knowing my thoughts about him already.

"No," I sighed. "It's fine. I'll meet you there in 15."

"Alright," Luke said sympathetically. I hung up the phone and got out of my bed.

Ugh. Well if you haven't noticed, I'm not particularly fond of Mark. He's an immature person who can't keep his hands to himself and is a player, a liar, and a cheater.

The reason I have such strong hatred feelings toward him is because one girl I was dating was at a party one night, which I had no problem with, was with several of her girlfriends. She had even told me she was going to the party that night and I was never that guy who didn't let his girl go out or need to know what was going on every second. I trusted the people I was with.

At the time, Mark and I were friends. I didn't have a problem with him and thought he was an okay guy. Well my girlfriend had apparently gotten drunk that night and so were all of her friends.

Now Mark was at this party and he has obviously known that we were dating. Everyone knew. We had been dating for three months and to this day he still says he didn't know that. He thinks I'm dumb and has this smirk on his face every time he says it. He knew.

At the party while my girlfriend was drunk he completely took advantage of that. She had no idea what happened but she told me that all she remembered was waking up next to him.
