"naw..just a few drinks..am in a club"that explained the background music "..was wondering if you wanna hang out,am kind of bored"...my mom would kill me "uh Brian,wrong timing,im really sorry but i got to really be home right now,my mom's been calling..." "uh..i get it,no prob..." "Brian u ok?,need a ride home?",he cut..shit...i had no idea where the club was..well Brian you got to take care of yourself i thought as i got home...immediately i finished facing my moms anger..i went up to my room,had a nice cool bath..wore my nighty,(shorts and tan top)..then sat on my bed and worried about Brian..i tried calling back but he wouldnt pick up..i scrolled through my contacts then called Gwen,Ians gf.."hello" "sorry to wake you up Gwen but do u know if Brian is with the guys in the club?" "what happened to him?" "nothing happened..am just worried,he sounded drunk and all when he called" "Ian is here,i ll give it to him",i explained the situation to him"hes all alone over there..i ll tell Drew to pick him up"he said "thanks" "no i ll send Drew's no..why not didturb him a lil"he cut,i gaped at the phone,mins later my cell buzzed and Drew's no appeared when i opened it,Ian did not just..i thought of not giving a fuck about Brian,but no,i did care about him..i dialled the no,he picked before i could change my mind,what was he doing up,was he with a girl?...."yea hello",his voice sounded different with no irritation,hope he wasnt a jerk tonight,this was imp"who's this?"...great for hoping too much"Karen...look is Brian home yet?" "why?,how the hell did you get my number" "well Ian gave it to me..not imp right now" "Ian what?" "Brian is drunk in a club,you need to get him out of there"i rushed on..a pause"Brian is 18..he sure can take care of himself,what you're his girlfriend now?" "would you stop being a jerk for once and...." "no i think u should cut the call and go to sleep" "why dont u cut it?" "becos you called dammit,what the hell am i saying,what club?" "i have no idea..,",a long pause like he was trying to get a shirt or sth"im going now" "thanks"but he d cut..i stared at the phone then laid down..at least i could get some sleep...My alarm woke me up in the morning,i sat up straight then laid back..in a thud,another school day,hope it gets better..."so where did you and Lia go last night?",i stared at Bella,then my mom who were waiting for a reply during breakfast"clubbing.." "since when?"Bell asked"since last year of highschool,a lot of things have changed Bell..im not as boring as you think" "changed yea..including kissing the hot new guy in school",i gaped,glanced at my mom then hit her,how did she know,she was a junior,who spread the news"well someone in my grade was at the party,who heard the cousins quarelling,he told his gf,and his gf told someone who told her bestfriend and she told someone else..." "i get it" i bit out and there was silence..."whats his name?",i bit my pancakes"Brian..." "wow,he asked you out yet?" "is that supposed to be ur business?" "yes..cos you re my sister",i rolled my eyes then took my bag.."you leaving me?,i need a ride to school",she said getting up too,i seriously wasnt about to ride with her"what?,call Rob or sth" "we aint talking right now",i stared at her and she looked pained..i seriously had been ignoring my sister"ok..just today",we got in my car and i drove off,i kept glancing at her"so what happened btw you and Rob?" "i dont wanna talk about it",i kept driving"i caught him in the bathroom with sarah" "oh dear..you ok?" "what do you think?" "im sorry..ive totally been so.." "busy with Brian...i understand sis,shit happens"with that she put her earplugs on,i stared at her then ahead.....that reminded me ..Brian,i didnt see him at school at all,Issabel and her crew were being all chirpy as usual,why didnt they just attend a private school or sth,like her boyfriends school,i wondered as i changed my books in my locker for next period..chemistry,i got there and sat down,a girl Mel sat beside me,Drew never sat with me again after our encounter,speaking of which,where was he..the teacher came in...."Today class we going to begin working on our projects and we gonna be doing that in twos..."he was saying,Drew walked in"nice of you to join us mr patterson,repeat this the third time in a row and you get a detention",Drew pursed his lips as he sat at the back..where the hell was Brian"at the end of the session,u produce sth good and present to the class,theres a prize for the best presentation..so i already shared it in twos and i ll read out according to my list here..Jade and Raven..Mellissa and keith..."he kept calling,seemed it was m/f grouping,i kept waiting to hear,not my name but Drew's and who he d be grouped with,the girl would be so unfortunate lest she was his'type' "Andrew and Karen..guess that about does it.." "What".we both said and looked at each other..........~
