Summer of Boys

Chapter 3

(Unedited)

I woke up to the shower running and music blaring from the speakers. I throw my pillow over my face trying to block out the excessive noise. Just then like magic the music shuts off and Leslie walks out in her towel. "Why are you blaring music so early? Some people are still sleeping." I roll over trying to go back to sleep.

"It's noon you're the only one still sleeping." Leslie says and I can hear the tone in her voice as she starts to get ready. "Fine I'm up." I grab my supplies and hop into the shower.

Once I get out Leslie and I decide to eat a quick lunch before hopping into the rental car her dad got for us and heading for the highway. Ya if you haven't figured it out yet Leslie's dad is pretty rich, and ever since her mom left two years ago he's even more consistent of giving her what she wants. I mean being her best friend, I don't relly mind because I get the perks too and she's not one of those spoiled bitches.

"We're here." I look out the window and sure enough we are parked in one of the many underground parking lots they have in Los Angeles. I grab my bag and sunglasses before following Leslie up the stairs to the street.

"I can't believe we are actually here!" I say looking at everything and everyone around us. "I know right I can't wait till tonight." Leslie bounces up and down well nearly bumping into someone.

"What's happening tonight?"

"Oh we are just hitting up the biggest club in Los Angeles! All the celebrities hang there so you know it's big." I roll my eyes and continue to look at all the strange people around me. There's spiderman and mickey mouse along with Mr. Incredible, I love it!

"Well I don't exactly have the clothes you would go clubbing in." I look down and see I am standing on Michael Jackson's star on the walk of fame. "Here take my picture." I toss my camera to her which she catches with ease and snaps a quick photo.

"That's why we are going shopping come on!" She drags me by the arm down the street until we are at a store that I can't even pronounce the name of.

"Leslie this looks really fancy." I pull my arm back not allowing her to drag me any further in the store.

"It's cool it's on me." She gives my arm a sharp pull causing me to practically run into a group of girls. "Sorry." I mutter walking around them.

"Leslie I'm not letting you pay for everything on this trip."

"I'm not paying, my dad is." Before I can protest she throws a few articles of clothing to my face. "Go." She points to the changing room and I try on the first top. Nah. The next one... not my style. I come to the last one and try it on smiling as I look into the mirror. It's perfect. It's a black tight kind of low cut but doesn't show too much. It's also got slits going down the sides. I'm not that skinny but I'm definitely not fat either. Leslie is much skinnier than me. She's got that whole skinny, blonde, tan, white girl look.

"How they look?" I walk out as my answer to Leslie's question and her mouth drops open. "You look hot!"

"You really think so?" I turn back to the mirror to get another look.

"Girl if I weren't straight I would totally try to get with you."

"Gee thanks babe!" We both laugh and I turn around giving her a quick hug.

"Come on lets go." I quickly change back into my other clothes and walk out the store with the top she payed for in hand.

-----------------------------------------------------------

I'm so nervous. I've never been to a club before let alone one we have to use a fake ID to get into. Leslie told me that they won't even ask for our ID and I hope so because I do not want our trip ruined because we are in jail.

"Relax you look hot and we are both going to find boy number one tonight." I take a deep breath before walking up to the door watching Leslie work her magic getting the bouncer to let us in before everyone else. Some day I'll have to learn how she does that.

"Now I'm going to go get a drink and find a guy to dance with." She starts to walk away but I pull her arm back. "You're leaving?"

"Relax just go get yourself a drink and have fun. Remember just stay calm and act like you belong."

She walks off and I stand there looking around. Like you belong. I've got this. I straighten out my top and walk over to the bar. "Excuse me can I have a sex on the beach." The bartender turns to make my drink not even bothering to ask to see my ID.

He places the drink in front of me and I take a sip experiencing the new flavor. This is actually pretty good. I continue to drink it and before too long it's already gone. I'm definitely not drunk though thanfully. I can not show up back to the house wasted.

"Excuse me would you like to dance?" I look over and see a tall guy with blonde hair and blue eyes reaching a hand out to me. I take it and he guides me to the dance floor. He places his hands on my hips and I move them to the music making sure we are insync.

"I'm Chris." The guy introduces himself and I lean my head back so he can hear me. "I'm Alexis." Chris then all of a sudden spins me around and places his lips to mine. It's forceful and takes me off gaurd but I respond to the kiss none the less. He starts to get more forcefull and pretty soon he shoves his tounge into my mouth.

I pull back not liking this at all. "I have to go." I turn around leaving Chris on the dance floor and walk back to the beer. "Bartender 3 shots." I call out and he quickly brings them over.

"Not having fun?" I look over and see a guy drinking a beer next to me. He's not sitting in the light so it's hard to see his face.

"Not really how about you?" I spin my whole body towards him and take one of the shots. "Not the slightest. It was my buddy's idea to come here." He takes a sip of his beer and faces me as well.

"Well here's to having a terrible time." We both hold up our drinks clinking them together. I laugh slightly as I down my last shot.

"Let me buy you another one. Bartender." Before I can protest the bartender places 3 more shots in front of me and 3 in front of him.

"To making new friends." The guy moves over a seat so he's right next to me and holds up a shot. He's now in the light so I can see his face clearly and he's....

Dylan O'brien?
