Punks and Penny Boards

Chapter 6

I quickly ran to the bathroom holding in my puke. I fell toward the toilet and released it all. I lay on the cold ground and wrapped my arms around that toilet. It felt nice and cold. I have food poisoning. I know cause I got it once before and it was exactly like this. It must have been the sushi. Last time I just ate some bad tacobell. I was feeling a little delirious and rang up Luke. I didn't know what time it was at the moment and I really didn't know what I was doing. The phone rang for awhile and he finally answered.

"Go to bed its 2:30 in the morning". He said sleepily.

I threw up again then fell back to the floor. "I got food poisoning from that sushi we ate". I said.

"Luke?" I said. He had fallen back asleep. "WAKE UP YOU CUNT!" I shouted.

I heard footsteps in the hallway. I recognized those footsteps. It was Zelda. She opened the door. She had her stripped pajama bottoms and her tank top with her cute little bunny slippers in. She squinted at the light and looked down at me.

"What the hell are you doing?" She asked. "Did you throw up in here? What did you eat at the restaurant"? All these questions were making me dizzy,

"Sushi and I'm talking to Luke". I smiled holding my phone up and putting him on speaker.

"Luke goodbye Roni will call you in the morning when she's better kay". She said hanging up and taking my phone away. I threw up again.

"Why the hell did you do that!" I yelled angrily.

"For god sakes Roni it's almost 3:00 in the morning and your cursing at Luke in the bathroom on the floor. Oh by the way you can stay in here tonight". She said tossing me a pillow and blanket she shut the door and yelled. "Goodnight Roni". I stood up holding onto the counter tops and grabbing some Advil from the medicine cabinet. I popped two pills into my mouth and collapsed back down on the floor covering myself with the small blanket.

It was now morning and I felt alot better. I picked up the pillow and blanket and threw it on my bed. I changed into some practical clothes. Just a muscle T and a pair of shorts as usual. I went downstairs where Zelda was making oatmeal. She looked over at me.

"Someone's feeling better". She laughed. "It was hilarious when you called Luke last night!"

"LUKE WHAT!" I said.

"I had to hand up the phone for you and by the way that was at like 3:00am and it was hilarious".

I pulled out my phone and dial Luke quickly. He answered right away. "Hey Roni! You feeling better?" He asked.

"Yeah drive over to my place I wanna hang out". I said biting my lip.

"Uh ok I'll be there in 10 minutes". He hung up.

Zelda laughed. She went over and sat down on the couch and turned on MTV. "Hang out? Dude your so lame". She smirked.

I gave her a dirty look and ran outside to Luke's truck. It was black and had nice leather seats.

Luke smiled at me. He was listening to the 1975.

"Where do you wanna go?" He asked.

"Far away. Somewhere out of town". I said.

"Whatever you say". He started to drive. It felt awkward being in a big truck driving in the city. I don't know maybe its just me. We didn't talk very much. It was just awkward in general.

"How's Beth". I asked. Luke didn't talk for awhile.

"I don't know". He said quietly.

As we drove along the coast we started to get farther away from all the big buildings and people. I rolled down the window and let the wind blow through my long hair. It was quiet out here. Luke pulled up onto a gravel road which led up a hill. Luke found a place and parked his truck there. You could see everything from here. It was really pretty. Luke looked at me intensely. He grabbed me and pulled me into a kiss. His lips felt soft but I couldn't do this. I pushed him away.

"Thought you wanted me to finish what I started yesterday?" He smirked.

"I do but". I stopped. "You have a girlfriend and I have Calum! Can we just be friends?" I asked.

Luke looked out the window. "With benefits". He added and I slapped him. "What the fuck was that for"! He yelped.

I started to laugh at him. "Dumbass". I got out of the truck and sat down on the ledge. The grass was blowing around in the wind. Luke came a sat beside me with his guitar and started to strum something which sounded familiar. Luke sang out.

"What am I sussposed to do oh oh when she's so damn cold like 20 below that girl that girl she's such a bitch but I tell myself I can handle it".

That girl by all time low. He had such a nice voice. To bad his personality sucks. I mean I can't really talk. I just realized Luke was serenading me and kinda telling me I'm a bitch but I like it.

"She won't buy my sex appeal just an east coast kid with a record deal".

I started to smile like an idiot. It's kinda like this song was written about me. I think I describes me and Luke quite well. He finished up the song and laughed at the end.

"Did you like it?" He asked.

"YESS!" I squealed.

"Thought it was the perfect moment to sing you that". He smiled.

I looked into his crystal blue eyes. The piercing on his lip was turning me on even more. I put my lips close to his just so they weren't touching. He moved in more and kissed me again wrapping his arms around my waist. I put my hands around his neck and worked my fingers into his hair hair pulling him harder into me. We stood up and got into Luke's truck. I climbed over top of him taking breaths in between kisses. I pulled his shirt off and started to kiss him harder. He pushed me off and grabbed a pack of what looked like weed out of the glovebox and rolled up a joint. He lit it and passed it to me.

"Fuck it". I said taking a puff of the smoke. I passed it to Luke and he took a puff and blew smoke circles. We both started to laugh like crazy. I climbed back on him and we started to kiss again. His hands wandered up my shirt and unclasped my bra. Little did we know the fucking cops found us. We were heavy into a high make out session when a cop came and tapped on the window. Luke rolled down the window.

"Err this isn't what it looks like?" He said.

The officer opened the door and told us to put our clothes back on. He took the weed and handcuffed us both. He threw us in the back of the car and told us not to make out. The other cop got in Luke's truck and drove it behind us. The blue and red lights were almost hypnotizing. By the time we got back to the small prison cell they threw us in the high had worn off. The officer had convinscated all our stuff.

"Officer could I please use my phone to call my friend?" I asked.

He walked over and held my phone near the bars and let me dial the number turning it on speaker so I could hear Zelda.

"Where are you?" She asked.

"In prison". I sighed. "Come bail us out please!" I whined.

"WHAT? And fine". She groaned.

It took about a half an hour for Zelda to get here. She talked with the police about where our parents were and why he should let us out and finally we did get out. Zelda looked really pissed off. She gave Luke a dirty look.

"Thanks alot Luke". She said angrily.

Luke got in his truck. I waved at him through the window and frowned.
