The Lost Boys

Chapter3

After I helped Edgar take Alan home, I headed back to the cave. No one was there.

I sat down and lit up a cigarette, and looked around to make sure Star wasnt around. She'd kill me if she saw me smoking.

"You know, we almost had him." A voice said.

I turned around to see David standing behind me.

"Yeah, almost. But Edgar seems too hard to trick." I sighed.

"We can get him. Trust me. Ive tricked so many people before. Even the hardest people."

I handed the cigarette to David for him to finish, since I didnt have a care for it any more. I stood up,

"And you're sure about it?" I asked.

He nodded and stood up, "Positive."

"Hmm, I hope you're right." I started to walk away.

He quickly put his hand on my shoulder, "I have a question."

I turned around and faced him.

"What you said earlier about you wanting someone your age because we are all too old.. And how you asked none of us showed interest in you. How do you know?"

I was confused, "What?"

"I mean, how do you know none of us show interest in you."

I laughed, "I just know. Why, do you happen to?"

"No!" He quickly said.

"Alright. Then I think we're good." I turned around and walked away.

I went and wondered around outside until I got tired. I headed back to the cave and sat down on the couch. A few minutes later I was joined by Marko.

"So, you dislike older guys huh?" He smiled.

Why does everyone want to know why I dislike older guys? Well, I dont... But these guys are like my brothers.

"I never said that." I said.

"Yeah you did. Earlier, you said you wanted someone your age."

"What I ment by that, was I wanted someone to hang out with.."

"Oh, the way you said it made it seem like you only liked guys your age."

"Nah, ive been attracted to older guys."

"Like who?"

"Like uh.. Well, you dont know him.." I said.

"Right..." He said jokingly.

"Im serious though!"

He laughed, "I believe you."

"Uh-huh. Sure you do!"

"Well then prove it to me!"

"How?" I asked.

"Kiss me."

"What?" I asked.

I...didnt really know what to do or say.... I just sat there too shocked.

I mean I couldnt, Marko, was the most like my older brother. That would just be weird for me to kiss him.
