Intertwined

Chapter 2

"Hey man! Haven't seen you in all week, where you been?"

Luke was embraced in a side hug as Jason patted him on the back and gave him a nod. The boys stood in the midst of the afternoon hall craze with people standing around and other rushing by to escape the hell. Jason chewed his minty gum and leaned against the locker next to Luke's, waiting for the update.

"Nothing new. Just stayed at home and slept most of the time as usual."

"Man, I swear if I had ISS as much as you, my parents would kick my ass and throw me into boarding school."

"They don't give a fuck about me or what I do. As long as I make a stupid appearance at their events and business dinners."

Luke grabbed his keys out of his locker and then slammed the locker door shut. He turned back to Jason with an evil smile.

"You up for Rapture tonight?"

"Hell yeah! Dude, the chicks there are always smoking."

"Tell Matt and Logan to be at your place by 9."

"You DD? We're gonna get some beers and vodka beforehand."

"Yeah, and why the hell would you drink those two together? Just save the vodka for after the club and don't worry about beer before. You have your fake don't you?"

"Right! Completely forgot."

"Yeah, whatever. I gotta go do some shit at home."

"Alright, see you later bro."

Jason walked off to catch up with a sophomore girl. She smiled as he put his arm around her shoulder and they flirted by the water fountain.

Luke pulled up next to the entrance of Rapture. A large man stood at the door in a nice black suit, and a large silver watch. his hands were neatly crossed at his midsection and he had a cold hard look on his face. There was a long line of people waiting behind a red rope, many guys in everyday wear and girls in sequined tops, miniskirts, and heels. The large letting was illuminated with a soft red glow, along with the entrance.

Luke stepped out of his car with Jason, Matt, and Logan in tow. He walked up to the body guard and whispered something that Jason couldn't make out. When Luke stepped back, the guard nodded and spoke into his ear piece. 

Not even 20 seconds later, a smaller man in a white button up with a black bow tie emerged and looked at Luke, who dropped his keys into his hands and slipped him some cash. 

The red rope was drawn up and Luke motioned for them follow him. There were complaints by the people in line as they tried to talk to the guard and get in quickly as well.

"Yo, what did you tell him?"

"Nothing, I just told him my name."

"Mad connections bro." Matt laughed.

They emerged out of the hallway into the large that was nearly the size of two gymnasiums. A staircase to the right lead to the upper floor where many people were crowded near the edged looking out at the dance floors and moving their bodies with their dates. close behind them. Red and purple lights flashed across the room, illuminating the dancing bodies throughout the room. The DJ was set up on the small stage across the room, a large bar to the left. The bar was illuminated by a dimly lit yellow light above the shelves that were stockpiled with liquor.

Logan went straight to the bar with Jason close behind, leaving Matt and Luke to venture off into the large crowd. Luke made eye contact with a brunette in black leather pants and a short gold, sequined top that barely covered her boobs, exposing her midsection and hip bones. She smirked at him as she swayed her hips and ran her fingers through her hair, biting her deep red lips.
