I toss and turn in my new bed, getting annoyed with the loud music coming from the house across the street from me. I sigh in defeat before getting up. I quickly change into a pair of jeans and a clean t-shirt before stomping down the stairs. I slip into a pair of converse. I open up the door before slamming the door behind me. I walk briskly over to the house. I step into the house, and look around. I find the house full of people. I march over to a girl with red-dyed hair and blue eyes.
“Hey, do you live here?” I ask, trying to sound nice. She looks at me like I’m crazy. “Uh no.”
“Can you show me someone who does live here?” I ask, getting slightly frustrated.She points over to a guy, sitting in a chair with a drink in his hand while joking with some others. He has his dark hair slicked back with a little bit of stubble on his chin. The jersey he is wearing shows off his lean muscles. He has a natural tan that every girl wants their man to have. Any other day, I would probably just admire him from afar, if not go up and flirt with him. But, I had a long day, and I need to quiet down this party so I get some sleep. I stomp over to him.
“Hey, you live here right?” I ask, but it sort of came out as a statement. I watch as he nods while staring at me, “Yeah, I live here.” I smile for a moment.
“Good, finally, I found someone I can talk to.” I say with a sigh. He looks at me with amusement. The smile leaves my face.
“I don’t know about your dumb ass, or your guests, but some people who now live here actually had a long ass day. And they have to get up in the morning and actually do stuff. So how about you stop being a total dick and turn down the music.” I say looking down at him. I watch as the amused look on his face shifts to one of complete confusion.
“Are you fucking kidding me?” He asks, getting mad himself. I hear the people he was sitting with start laughing.
“Oh man, Le, you’re not going to take that shit are you?” His friend asks before taking a sip of their beer. I glare at the small group before turning back to the one I was talking to.
“Look, I’m sorry princess, but I can’t just stop the party because you can’t get some sleep.” He says, gesturing to the people around him having a good time. “And just because I have a life and you don’t doesn’t give you the right to keep my ass up all night. Now do the world a favor, and turn down the music, shut the hell up, and let me sleep.” I say, glaring up at him. I can’t help but notice his green eyes glaring back.
Before the guy I’m talking to can speak, another guy who was sitting in a corner stands up. He is tall, He has dark brown, almost black hair and a scruffy beard. He has dark eyes to match. He is quite buff. He kind of reminds me of a grizzly bear.
“Listen sweetheart, we don’t listen to nobody who doesn’t belong here. And you don’t belong here. So do yourself a favor and get the fuck out.” The man says, backing up his buddy.
“Oh God, I thought I left all the stupid, testosterone-filled ass-wholes back in my hometown. I guess my aunt wasn’t kidding when she said they do exist everywhere.” I retort, not backing down.
In my head I can hear half my brain telling me to just back away before I can get hurt, but of course, I listen to the other half that says go for it, keep egging them on, you know it will get your blood pumping. The taller one shakes his head.
“I don’t beat on girls, unless it’s in a race.” He says, looking like he got an idea, “How about this, if Leon here beats you in a quarter-mile race, you have to go back home and deal, but if you win, we will stop the party and you can get your precious sleep. Deal?”
