Until we meet again (Currently editing)

Party, party, party!

1 week later
Nick's POV
I was walking back from school with Joe discussing our plans for half term which was in a few weeks.
'Hey, we should all go out to a club or something instead of these usual lame teenage house parties.' Joe suggested.

'Yeah, that's a great idea.' I agreed. 'That's reminds me. I'm thinking of asking Katherine out on a date or something, you know.'

'Good luck with that.' He said sarcastically.

I stopped. 'What do you mean? You sounded very sarcastic.'

'I was being sarcastic.' He said.
I waited for an explanation.
'Mate, Katherine doesn't date. That's not her thing. Her education's too important to her.' He explained.

'You have got to be kidding me.' I frowned.

'Nope. Sorry mate.' He patted me on the shoulder. 'I can see how much you like her.'

I suddenly felt very depressed. I had really strong feelings for Katherine. All week I'd been trying to psych myself up to asking her out, but every time I saw her, my brain just froze.
Now I just found out that she would have turned me down anyway!
'Are you alright man?' Joe interrupted my thoughts.

'No I'm not! I can't believe I just set myself up for disappointment.' I complained.

'Hey, maybe it's better that you two are just friends.' He advised. 'Think about it. Imagine you two did start dating. If you ever broke up, do you think your friendship would ever be the same?'

'No. You're right.' I sighed. 'Maybe it's better that we're just friends.'

'I think you need cheering up.' Joe rested his arm on my shoulder. 'You coming to Jamie's party tonight? We'll get proper pissed up, yeah? Daniel's coming too, so we can all get pissed together.'

'Yeah. Yeah, you know what? Why not? Even better, let's party all weekend!' I agreed enthusiastically. 'Its Friday, so let's have a wacky weekend!'

'Yes mate!' He grinned. 'After tonight, we'll go and spend the weekend at mine doing boys stuff!'

I agreed anyway. I wanted to just forget Katherine for the weekend.

6:42pm

'We like to sleep all day, and party all night!!' I shouted out the lyrics.
'This is how we like, to live our life!' Daniel carried on.

'Hey, guys!' Joe stumbled over, obviously off his head like the rest of us. 'Shall we go and piss some people off?'
I grinned evilly. 'What you got in mind?'
Another guy came over with spiky dirty blonde hair.
'Guys, this is Harry.' Joe introduced. 'Harry, this is Nick and Daniel.'
'I'm an expert in crazy stunts.' Harry said. 'So I've got a few ideas in what we can do tonight!'
'Go on!' I was eager to find out. This ought to be awesome!
'We just need a chair and an air horn...'

Within 10 minutes, we were on a random street. Harry gave us a demonstration. First he grabbed the air horn and the chair and walked in the middle of the road. Then he placed the chair in the road and sat in it.
And waited. Me, Danny and Joe waited by a bush.
Soon, a car came down the road, but then stopped because Harry was still sitting there, in the way. The guy in the car honked his horn. Harry honked his air horn back. The guy in the car gave an outraged bellow. Harry grabbed the chair and ran and we all followed him, laughing like twats.
We reached the next street. 'Now that's​ one way, to piss someone off!' Daniel exclaimed.
'I know right? Right, who's next?' Harry grinned. 'Nick?'

So a few streets, later, I grabbed the chair and the air horn and walked into the middle of the road and sat in the chair. A minute later:

We all ran off laughing again.
'Shall we get some beers and head back to the party?' Harry suggested. 'Before someone reports us and we get arrested?'
So we all headed back to the party and got fucked up like there was no tomorrow.

On Saturday, I woke up on Joe's sofa with a huge hangover. Light was streaming through the window and it was really hurting my head. I sat up, squinting in the light. Daniel was on the other sofa and Joe and Harry were on thick  blankets on the floor. Daniel was snoring loudly and Harry's arm was across Joe's face. I chuckled quietly at the scene. I couldn't remember Harry tagging along last night, but I didn't mind. The more people, the better. He was a really crazy guy.
Harry woke abruptly and in the process, ended up accidentally hitting Joe in the face. Joe groaned.
Harry looked all around him and grinned at me. 'Morning!'

'Man, stop shouting.' I groaned too.

'I'm not shouting.' He laughed.

'How are you not hungover?' I asked.

'I don't get hangovers easily.' He shrugged nonchalantly.

'You lucky bastard.'

'Greasy food and coffee. The perfect cure a hangover.' He announced. 'Wake those two up, so I can do them breakfast too.' He disappeared into the kitchen.
I dragged myself off the sofa and pulled Daniel off the other sofa. He hit the floor and opened his eyes. 'Fuckwit.' He muttered.
I threw a cushion at Joe. 'Get up sleeping beauty.'
