Aneika came up behind me. "I need you to get the keys from Tyler."

I gave her a look. "You can drive?" I shouted so she could her me over the loud party music, and the cluster of people around us.

"No, but remember Tiff's date with John let's hope she picked up a few things, cause she's gonna have to drive us to follow Tyreik."

"But how're we gonna be able to catch up with them, they could leave any minute." I asked. She smiled at me.

"That's why I sent Khari to get Tyreik's keys."

I rolled my eyes laughing. My savageness is rubbing off on my friends. Im so proud.

      I walked off

I walked off. He's gotta be here somewhere. If I were a dumb footballer where would I be? I guess I'd be with the other dumb footballers. I saw a guy in a letter jacket. I pushed my way past all of the people to follow him. He lead me into the small den area.
There was a few footballers and a few of their girlfriends off to the side, and a little bit of people dancing. I scanned the room and didn't see him. "Hey guys, anybody seen Tyler?"

"Oh hey Z, he just went outside for a smoke." Vivica, one of the girlfriends answered. "You wanna sit with us?" She scooted over a bit.

"Nah, I just gotta find Tyler, he's the ride home."

The girls sitting laughed. "Good luck, that guys fuckin wasted." Ayessa, who was Randy's boyfriend said.
I left the den and made my way out through the kitchen and to the back door. I walked past Khari, he was dangling the keys he stole. I shot him a quick thumbs up. He sat by himself on the back porch. The shed looked even more shady and scary given the situation.
He looked up at me. His eyes were red and it was obvious that he had been drunk off his ass.

"Hey Ty there you are, do you mind giv-" he cutt me off.

"I love you, you know that?" He burped a little. He just looked sad just sitting there. I knelt down so we were at the same level but not too close where'd he'd get any ideas.

"I've known since sixth grade Ty, its nothing new. And besides you have a girlfriend, Carmen."

"She just broke up with me." He looked down at the beer in his hand and I saw a tear fall.

"Oh." It was the only thing I could think of saying. It went quiet for a really long time, I almost wanted to walk away but my mission was to get those keys.

"I know you don't love me back but when you have something that feels right hold on to it Z its too good to lose." He sighed. At this point I knew he was talking about Carmen, he took another sip. "Oh sorry what did you need?" He asked.

"Can I have your keys I need to borrow your car."

"Yeah sure, its in my letter jacket." He patted around but he realized he wasn't wearing it anymore. Damnit it could be fucking anywhere in that party and theres too many people in there to look.

"Oh yeah, I left it in the closet." He smiled a drunk smile and hiccuped. Ugh ew.
I walked my way back inside, I was actually starting to get used to the blaring music. I made my way to the closet by the stair case. I opened it but someone's massive ass hand shut it back closed.

He leaned on the door so I can't move it. It was Xavier another football player. I swear I hate the entire football team at this point.

"Hey pretty little lady what's the password?" He looked down at me. It was obvious that he was drunk too because his girlfriend Vivica was in the other room and he was flirting.

"I don't have a fucking password." I said getting upset.

"Then I guess you'll have to kiss me." He grabbed me by the hips and before I could knock the ugly off his face he was hit in the head with a beer bottle. It made a loud clashing sound and tiny bits of glass fell everywhere.

Xavier hit the ground like a rag doll. It got the attention of a few party goers as they watched, and or scooted off to the side. I looked to see who it was that saved me from the nightmare.
It was Alex! He stood there with half a bottle clutched in his hands. I smiled.

"Thanks." I laughed. "How'd you know I was here."

"Well after you ditched me for the tutoring session I saw your post online and I checked the meta data and found you here." He said fixing his glasses.

"Cool. A little crazy but cool." I laughed. Then I remembered what happened in school. "Don't think I forgot your little handsy situation.'' I crossed my arms.

"That wasn't me, that was him." He pointed down at unconscious Xavier. "He passed by and grabbed you, then I happened to be walking behind him and I got slapped in the face." He rubbed his cheek. I blushed feeling bad now. It made better sense now, and Alex probably ran after cause he was embaressed.

In the corner of my eyes I saw the football players. "Thats good to know and all but you just knocked out a football player you might want to get the hell outta here." I pointed towards them.

He started to walk away but came back. "You better not ditch our next session he said before he left. I smiled. Nerd.
I stepped over Xavier passed out. I opened up the closet and found Tyler's jacket. I dug through the pockets and pulled out the keys. That was a lot of work for this shit, but it was worth it to be saved by the nerd.

.........I mean Alex.
