As Sweet As Can Be

Part Six.

Kevin's POV

The five of us entered the bathroom, making it seem smaller than it already is. Edward sat on the toilet, Travis took a seat on the sink, Wesley and I sat on the edge on the bathtub, while Sam and Kyle remained standing. Edward handed a small plastic container nearly filled to the top with pot to Wesley, who then began to pack a bowl.

Kyle brought over his gravity bong, or as he would like to call it 'the aqua lung', and that is what we are currently using. It sat between me and Wesley on the edge of the tub, and because it was made of glass, we had to be extra careful.

"Hold it." Wesley instructed. I held the gravity bong in position while he lit it up. He pulled up the bottle and the smoke filled it with a milky, yellow colour. "Take it all." He spoke once he burned the whole blast.

I let out all the air in my lungs and took all the smoke in. A bit of the water got into my mouth and I spit it out into the tub, causing a laugh from Sam and Kyle. I became a coughing mess as the smoke left my system. Wesley began to pat my back while chuckling at me.

"You alright pal?" Wesley asked with his hand still on my back. I looked up at him and nodded. I looked towards my friends and they were watching me while grinning with hazy eyes.

"Hi." I spoke to them happily, I even waved my hand in the air. Sam chuckled and waved back to me, saying a simple 'hello there.' Her brown eyes sparkled in the lighting as she looked at me with a slight grin.

Wesley packed another bowl, this time I noticed how big he was making them. He only grabbed one pinch, but it seemed like a lot more than that. I watched as he lit up the bowl and pull the bottle up. I've always wondered who came up with the ideas for things like the gravity bong, or just the actual bong in general.

"Sam." Wesley spoke once he burned it all. She kneeled down in front of the tool and took all of the smoke in, except she didn't swallow any of the water. She stood back up and blew out the smoke towards the ceiling, her long, golden-brown hair fell down her back like a goddess.

Smoke quickly filled the room as we all took our blasts. When my turn came back around for the second time the bathroom was filled with thick layer of smoke. I was feeling very high by fourth hit and that's when I stopped. I stood from my spot in the crouded bathroom and exited without saying a word, I'm pretty sure they know I have had enough.

When I entered the kitchen, Edith was sitting at the table with two other girls, who I assume was Sarah and Jose, listening to some pop song that no longer played from Kyle's phone. She rocked her head back and forth to the beat, occasionally stopping to take sips of her drink.

"Kevin, come chill with us." Edith spoke as she noticed me. Suddenly the three females had their attention on me as I stood by the hallway. I couldn't tell who is who, I only knew Edith, but they all had inviting smiles.

I smiled back as I made my way towards the table. I sat myself down on the left hand side in between Edith and one of the other girls. She had straight blonde hair and glasses that enhanced her gray eyes.

"Kevin, this is Sarah-" she motioned to the blonde, who then waved at me and said a quick 'hi'. "And this is Jose."
I moved my attention across the table and I looked at the woman who sat there. She was a brunette with shining hazel eyes. Her make up was dark and heavy but it kind of pulled her outfit together. She grinned at me and took a swig of her drink.

"So Kevin, tell us about yourself." Sarah spoke from beside me. She pushed her glasses up the bridge of her nose with a swift movement of her index finger while watching me contently.

In all honesty, I have no idea what to tell her. I am not much of an interesting person, and even then, I still wouldn't know what to say. So I'll settle with a simple response.

"What do you want to know?" I asked, her curiosity was evident as she bit her bottom lip.

"Why haven't I seen you around before?" Her eyebrows were pulled together in a questioning look, obviously waiting for my answer.

"Eh, I don't know. I've been around here for most of my life, so I can't exactly tell you why not." I trailed off at the end while I scratched the nape of my neck.

"Ah, that's cool. I'm from Canada, I moved here when I was a kid." Sarah spoke and took another sip of her drink. I also took a sip of the drink Edith had handed to me and let myself relax into the chair.

"How old are you?" Jose piped in. I turned my attention towards her.

"I turned 29 in March." I answered, faking interest in the current conversation. I didn't come here to play 21 questions, but I would never say that out loud to someone who's been nothing but nice to me. "What about you?"

"Well I am 26 and Sarah is 25." She motioned towards her grey eyed friend as she mentioned her name.

I nodded my head as an answer. I know they only asked a couple of questions so far, but I already hope its over.

Kyle was the first to come stumbling out of the bathroom and into the kitchen, literally stumbling. He tripped over his own foot somehow and nearly face planted onto the floor. Edwards laughed filled the area as he entered right after Kyle. He offered a hand to Kyle, which he gladly took as chuckled at his own clumsiness in his current state.

"What's so funny?" Wesley asked, Sam followed behind him with a goofy smile on her face. They all looked equally f*cked up, I wonder how much they actually smoked with out me.

"This fool went and made an entrance by tripping." Edward chuckled as he spoke, earning a shove from Kyle.

"Haha, you're so f*cking funny." The sarcasm was evident in his voice as he crossed his arms and took a seat on the couch. A frown settled on his face, most likely from humiliation.

"Calm down man, you know I'm only kidding." Edward spoke to his friend, Kyle only huffed and kept his face in a steady frown. "Whether you're mad or not, I still love you!" He then sat himself down onto Kyle's lap, only to be pushed off and onto the floor. Edward landed with a thump and exclaimed quite loudly; "Ow, you f*cking d*ck!"

This time it was Kyle's turn to laugh at the fool on the ground.

"You still love me." He laughed out loud. It wasn't as funny as he thinks it is, but his face still went red from laughing so hard.

Those guys always had such an unbreakable friendship, they have known each other since nursery. I remember in highschool, everybody thought they were secretly together. Our classmates at the time had a nickname for them, they called them 'Kedward'. Most found it adorable, others didn't really give a f*ck. In reality they were just that close. Let me rephrase that, they are just that close. I wish I had a friendship like that.

I am sorry for the delay. It's been a month since I last updated and I don't want to feel lame by offering excuses, but I will. First off, I recently got a job, which has taken up a lot of my time. And secondly, I have a very bad habit of procrastinating.

But other than my lousy excuses, I promise to update more often and be as creative as possible.

Anyways, be sure to vote and comment your feedback. It would be a great help and motivate me to update faster.
