CODE RED (Book 1)

The Shooting

The Shooting-60

I sighed turning back to Alex who jumped down from the car and landed beside me.

"What was that all about?" D.C asked.

"Seems to me like your so called friend has a thing for Gareki." Nai said casually.

She crossed her arms. "Me and Lock aren't friends any more, lately he's been distant from me and most of the time I just tolerate him because he's a person I used to think was cool."

"How'd that work out for you?" Alex said glaring daggers from where lock had disappeared around the corner.

"He's a jerk at times, I think he may be taking this Battle Of The Bands thing way to seriously." She stated beginning to climb up the rock stair case.

I shook my head not wanting to think about Lock anymore. " Can we please stop talking about him and just get on with this party."

"Agreed." Alex said all to eager to get the conversation over with just like I was. He grabbed my hand and all of us followed D.C up the stairs. The music seemed to only get louder and the excitement coursed through me all over again seeing to push away the anxiety.

Once we rounded the hill of trees the spot lights were bright and colorful standing out in the dark with the colors of. Dark blue, red, yellow, white and purple. They all danced around us crazily but it was actually cool the way they looked.

As for the people there were so many, all the bodies were all huddled together in one moving crowd as they danced with the heart pounding music. The music seemed to have changed too. It wasn't just playing techno electric but also pop music that made the crowd dance even more.

"This is amazing!" D.C yelled over the loud music.

She was right.

"There's so many people here, is this really our entire school?!" Alex yelled to her.

"You know what I think more people from other schools found out about this party!" She stated before leading us through the dancing crowd.

Alex held my hand the whole time trying not to lose track of me through so many moving bodies and I had to admit it was really hard to move past so many people all at once, I had to of knocked over twenty people to get my way through before we finally got somewhere.

We made our way to the bar area where unknown people stood drinking or kissing as if no one was watching.

I turned my eyes away from a couple who was doing a little bit to much touching that they should've saved for a more private place then a party.

"Let's chill here for a sec." D.C said just as the bartender came over to us and yelled for our orders. D.C decided to order for us since she was the closest and the music was way to loud for him to hear us over.

I hoped she hadn't ordered something to extreme for us. The last thing I wanted was for myself to get so drunk like I had last time. I had thought my hang over would last forever before it finally died down.

"Why are we waiting here?" Nai asked.

"Because we need to figure out where things are, this place is huge. It's not like it's my house you know." D.C said having a good point this party was a lot bigger then her house.

"Have you been here before?" Alex asked.

"No." She said simply.

"Ok, I'm confused how are we supposed to know where every thing is if you don't know?"

"Let me explain okay." She turned to the girl who was sitting right next to her that I hadn't even noticed yet. She had long red hair and blue eyes with a pale complexion she looked 18 and I could tell she along with most of the people here didn't go to Weslyn High school.
