"Cause I got people to back me up if things go too far south."
"So we are the reason you fight back?" Gray says with a smug look.
"I mean if you want to look at it like that, yeah."
They smirk at me as we walk to our bikes. I quickly make my way over to mine first while Leo goes to his car.
"You act as if your excited or something," Alan says grinning at me.
"I haven't been able to drive this thing for months now. I'm pretty excited." I say pulling out my helmet.
"Hey Beth, here," Mason says tossing something over to me.
I catch it and look at it, it's a communicator for my helmet.
I smile at them and put it on my helmet before putting it on and turning it on. It beeps a few times before connecting.
"You hear us alright?"
"Yep, can you guys hear me alright?"
"Yeah, your good."
I buckle up the bottom of my helmet and slide on my gloves as I swing my leg over the back and pull up the kickstand. My bike is pretty small for a sports bike and I still have to wear Romeos to help me be able to reach the ground enough to ride making it a bit harder to walk but I manage.
"So why a sports bike?" Mason says through the communicator.
"Cause it's fast and loud."
I soon start it and sure enough, it booms loudly.
"Add that to the haunted house, that'll scare plenty of people," Alan says.
I smile and drop my visor halfway as the guys all start their bikes.
"You can keep up Beth?" Mason asks.
"I should be asking all of you that," I say as I lean forward.
They all take off and I follow after them. The ride is silent till we make our way to a dead end neighborhood street filled with two-story houses and big backyards. We all pull up to a house on the very end and we pass by a lot of other kids playing basketball or skateboarding. We all park at the very end and turn off our bikes.
I bring my leg over as I drop the kickstand and take off my helmet. I turn off the communicator and put my gloves inside.
"You can bring your stuff inside if you want," L.J. says to me as we all take off your helmets.
I nod my head and we all walk up with helmets in hand.
L.J. walks in first and we all follow.
"Lewis?" I'm guessing his mom calls out.
"It's me, mom."
A woman in yoga pants and a black long sleeve shirt walks out from around the corner with a smile.
"Oh, who's your new friend?" She says smiling.
"Mom, this is Beth, Beth this is my mom."
"Nice to meet you," I say holding out my hand.
"Nice to meet you too." She says shaking my hand and her smile grows.
"You guys want anything to eat?"
"We're good," L.J. says starting up the stairs behind the door.
"Hold it right there, how long have you two know each other?"
"We're just friends," he says starting up the stairs again.
"Mmm-hmm," she says crossing her arms with a smile as I follow the guys upstairs.
