"It's cold as hell out here, are we almost there?" Alice asks, as we walk through the vacant school yard.
I cross my arms."Do you see the fire, across the field? That's Scarlet's house."
When we get to the giant Bon-fire we are instantly greeted by a albino boy not much taller then me."Are you looking for Scarlet?". Just by the way he looked I could tell that he was intoxicated, also by the way he smelled. "Yeah.. Do you know where she is?". I asked, looking around for my lost friend. " I think she is in the house, follow me." So me and Alice follow beer breath into the house and through the kitchen.
He pauses at the entrance to the living-room, and spins to face me and Alice."I'm being so rude tonight,I'm Shane. What are your names?" Alice smiles. "Well my dear drunk friend, I am Alice and this is Nora." Shane puts his arms around us and slightly pulls us through the living room, out the front door and into the garage."Scarlet? Dude, Nora and Alice are here."
Scarlet pokes her head out from behind a giant speaker and looks at me and Alice." Hey guys, glad your here. Shane get your ass over here and move this speaker into the house, so we can get this party going." Shane started to walk over to the speaker. "I'm going to need help with it. It's kinda twice my size, also my balance is for shit right now."
I volunteer myself to help Shane carry the speaker up the front steps and into the house. Mainly because I didn't want to help un-tangle speaker cables.
Also because there was something about him that intrigued me and made me want to know him. I don't know, I just wanted to be by him. I know that sounds creepy but, what can I say its true.
As we wheel the speaker out of the garage I help but to watch him through my hair that was always in my eyes.. Then he looked me in the eyes, and I felt this kinda light feeling in my stomach.. Like it had something flying around...butterflies....
I look away after I get the feeling, attempting to remind myself that he is just a drunk guy that most likely didn't feel anything and won't remember me in the morning..
As the party raged on, and the drunker we got the dumber ideas came to mind..Shane yells out "lets make a skate park inside the house!" Everyone cheers as if he just had the best idea every...Shane grabs my arm and twirls me around and speaks as softly as a drunk teen can "you my dear are going to be my side kick on this escapade of jackass-a-tude." I laugh a little trying not to be rude and say "well im no side kick if anything i will lead your drunken jackass escapade...mainly because i like my ramps a certain way."
We look into each others eyes for what feels like forever..a blissful forever... until suddenly the speakers start blasting "am i beautiful as i tare you to pieces? Even at your ugliest you always say im beautiful and sick like me"... we jump at the sudden blast of music..then he smiled moved his hand so he could hold me.. then we ventured into the garage with a tall slender dark haired boy named Steven and started gather the supplies for our drunken adventure... by the time we finished the party was at its peak and scarlet was pissed that we nailed ply wood into the walls.. "my parents are gonna kick my ass into the ...oh fuck it... PARTY ON" scarlet yells hardly able to stand straight... i climb the ramp and catch a board from Steven and a beer. they scream shot gun so i do just that.. i figured what the hell no one will even remember it.. i toss my sweatshirt and phone to Steven and Shane. I take my lunged and pull it off quite nicely for a drunken chick.. when i hop off Shane and Steven give me props.. i give the board to Steven and dare him to beat my set.. i think i mainly did that to have more time with Shane.
Steven falls on the drop in and starts laughing his ass off. I help him up and laugh.. " i knew i would not be upstaged by you"... he reply's " yeah well maybe we could chill sometime and then i can kick your ass"
I smile" maybe.".. he pulls out my phone . " hope you don't mind me and Shane swapped numbers with you already.." I take my phone. "its fine.. I think you may be better then me when we are sober."
Shane and Steven nod in agreement.
Needless to say me and "the guys" hung out for the practically the whole party. Until Steven passed the fuck out.. me Shane and i galled him into the house, and put him on the lower level couch.
3:00 am.
Shane leads me to the back yard where the old trampoline sits abandoned in the corner of the yard under a old elm tree. Shane gently helps me on top of the cool black fabric, then hoists himself up. "II love looking at the stars at night." He whispers into the small brease passing through our hair. I smile. This is the deepest thing i have heard a guy say. "I love the moon and stars, the moon is very special to me. Sometimes i like to pretend nothing else exists and that the moon are my own little place in the sky. Sounds dumb huh?"
Shane looks at me with wondering eyes. "No that's beautiful, actually the only time i have ever heard a guy sound so deep and meaningful."
