As Easy As ABC

Chapter 9: The One With The Smart Move

We all get out and as the last door closes the driver look out the window all cheery and starts waving his hand with a big smile, at the same time he is repeatedly saying "Buh-bye!"

He doesn't says hello, but he says goodbye? Really nice.

We all see him drive away.

"What the hell are we doing now?" Amir exclaims what we are all thinking.

* * *

Instead of standing in the middle of the road, we walk towards the left sidewalk, where the local shops are.

"I can't believe that just happened!"

"How dare he kick us out!? Where even are we?!"

"We were just joking around!"

We were all complaining to each other, not believing the current situation we were in.

"Why don't we go in there?" Marek says pointing to the bar/club thing in front of us. "I mean, we could just stay here instead of going to the other bar"

"It does makes sense" I agree.

I look at Par and Amir waiting for their replies.

Par touches his gray cap as he looks into the establishment, "Yeah, let's go inside"

Amir just nods his head as we make our way into the bar/club. I am seriously confused by what it is.

On the outside it looks kind of nice. It has a dark stone color, and big clear doors letting us see different light colors that are going inside. It does look kind of fun.

As soon as we get inside, everyone is staring at us. Makes me think if those moments in high school movies when they are at a party and something happens and the music suddenly dies, so everyone looks at the ones who instigated it.

I stop for a second to double check the music is still playing. Just in case.

Of course the music is still playing, so I follow the guys to a table as the stares from the Chinese people follow us. Maybe wondering how we ended up together, since we all look different, from our frames, to our skin tones, to what we are wearing.

"I will go to the bathroom quickly!" Marek announces as he disappears.

A waitress appears not long after that and hand us a menu. We are start looking at it and I feel like my eyes are going to fall out of their sockets because of how wide at opened them just now.

"The prices are crazy high guys, I can't pay this" I whisper yell at them.

"Yeah, me neither I don't have that much cash on me" Amir says as he flips the menu, adjusting his glasses.

You can adjust them all you want, but you are seeing it right. Those are the real prices.

"It is insane what they want to charge you for beer here. Chinese beer." Par gives the menu a little backhanded slap.

"Well." I continue to flip the pages on the menu, pretending to read it "we still have to look interested since Marek is in the restroom, but as soon as he comes back we make a run for it"

They all agree with me and we pretend we are deciding what to order. Marek makes his way towards us short after that.

As soon as we see him and he see us, we start making our way out. Par leads the way, followed by Amir and then me, I go a little slower so Marek can catch up to us.
