The Badboy And His Clique

iv.

*Ryker's POV*

"Heagyn, do you have tequila for body shots?", I say into my phone as I drive.

"Don't worry man. I got everything covered. Bring cups. That's probably the only thing I forgot.", he says and I role my eyes.

"Whatever man.", I say and hang up the phone.

I turn on the radio and start singing along to the music reminding me of the today's events. Damnit. I should have been more careful. I can't have someone knowing that I like to sing. At least she was cute.

I stop at the red light and look out my window. Maybe she'll be at the party tonight. Nah. She didn't seem like the type of girl to go to party's.

*Aspen's POV*

"So Ryker is gonna be at the party tonight.", I say and look over at her from the driver's seat.

"So.", she says, trying to sound like she doesn't care.

"You're gonna talk to him. None of this 'what if I say something stupid' bullshit.", I say and she chuckles.

"Okay. Chill out. I'll try and talk to him. And what about you?", she says and I feel my face get hot.

"What about me? There is nothing about me.", I say. Smooth.

"You like Brody?", she says and I try and keep my eyes on the road ahead.

"No. I think he's cute.", I say, trying to sound nonchalant.

"You ever talk to him?", she says and I clear my throat.

"Not really. I mean today. If you count that as talking.", I say and she starts laughing.

"Ha ha. Very funny. So are you gonna drink?", I say trying to get the attention off of me.

"Probably not a lot. You?", she says.

"Umm I don't know. One of us has to be sober enough to drive.", I say and she nods.

"I guess I'll try and stay sober enough to drive.", she says and I shake my head.

"Whatever.", I say and she laughs.

I turn on the music and think about how much of an idiot I must've sounded like when I was talking to Brody.

*Brody's POV*

I pull up in front of my house and turn off the engine. I walk up the steps to the front and quietly try and open the door.

As I open the door, I stick my head in and look around. I close the door behind me then I hear my dad say, "Hey son."

I role my eyes before turning around. I look at my dad in his suit and tie that he wears to work every day.

"Hey dad. How was work?", I say and he smiles.

"Great. Are you hungry? Your mother just started dinner.", he says.

"No I'm fine. I'm going to a party tonight. I'll eat there.", I say and his smile fades.

"What do you mean you're going to a party? It's a school night.", he says and I scoff.

I don't hate my dad, but I don't like him either. He's just changed so much since he got this promotion last year. Now it's all about making money.

"Don't worry, dad. I'll be home by curfew.", I say and walk upstairs to my room.

"Brody. Get down here.", he says from the bottom of the stairs but I ignore him. I walk into my room and close the door.

I open my closet door and grab a pair of jeans and a white t-shirt for tonight. I turn on my music before laying on my bed and looking at the ceiling. I start to fall asleep but my phone starts ringing.

I grab my phone and answer it.

"What?", I say.

"Damn. Chill out. You coming?", Ryker says and I take a deep breath.

"Yeah. Let me just change and then I'll meet you at Heagyn's house.", I say and stand up.

I hang up the phone and pull my shirt over my head. Before I can grab my shirt and put it on, my mom walks in.

"Mom can't you knock?", I say and grab my shirt.

"It's nothing I haven't seen before. So what are your plans tonight?", she says and I role my eyes.

"Mom. I'll be fine. Okay? I'm gonna be with Ryker and Heagyn.", I say and she roles her eyes.

"Like that makes me feel any better.", she says and I laugh.

*Sage's POV*

"What time is it?", Aspen says.

"Umm it is five minutes till nine.", I say and she nods.

"Okay. So we should be there in about ten minutes.", she says. I can tell she's nervous about something.

"You okay?", I say.

"Not really. Brody is gonna be there. And well I like him.", she says and I role my eyes.

"Oh my god. No!", I say sarcastically and she gives me a look.

I laugh a little then say, "Chill out. You'll be fine."

"I'll probably do something stupid again. Like earlier today.", she says and I shake my head.
