Till we break

One Day

Thursday. After school. I had an hour left to get ready. I took a shower and searched for some clothes which didn’t look too odd, so I put on black skinny jeans and a plain black shirt, size L, to hide my body in it. Then I grabbed my long black and red plaid cardigan.
I looked in the mirror. “You don’t look too bad.”, I said to myself. I combed my black hair after it was completely dry again. In my drawer I searched for a matching cap or hat. I decided to wear a dark red beanie. If I had fake glasses, I would look like a mix of a hipster and an emo.
I had 15 minutes left, so I went in the kitchen to make myself a coffee. Then I searched for some black boots and put them on, and grabbed my black jacket I had worn all winter. 10 minutes.
Suddenly I ran into my room, I had forgotten the little present I had bought yesterday. Some sweets and a book.
The bell rang.
“I’m coming.”, I yelled, went to the door fast and opened.

Selena and I were standing in front of Kira’s house. Selena pressed on the doorbell and the next moment Kira opened the door.
“Hey!”, she greeted us.
“Happy Birthday!”, Selena said loudly and and hugged her.
“Happy Birthday.”, I shook Kira’s Hand.
“Come in.” Kira stepped back so we could enter. We went in the living room, where her parents sat on the sofa. They stood up as they saw us.
They greeted us, and said they would leave us alone this evening and would go out.
When they left and the door fell shut Kira stood up. “Okay, Guys, wait here, I’ll get the beer, I hid it my room.”
We heard her running up the stairs.
“How old is she now?”, I asked Selena.
“Sixteen.”, she told me.
“Explains everything.”
Selena and I were already 16, so it was no big deal for us. We already had been drunk together.
Kira came back.
“Cans?”, Selena and I asked in unison.
“Couldn’t get the bottles.”, Kira said and placed the pallet on the table.
We all grabbed a can and opened it.
“Wait!”, Kira shouted, “Let’s play a game. Who can empty the can in one go the fastest? I’ll count to three and then we’ll drink.”
Selena and I nodded.
“Okay.”, Kira grinned, “One…, two…, three.” Compation started. Surprisingly, I could drink my beer faster than Kira and Selena.
I put my can on the table. “Winner.”, I smiled. Shortly after me the two others had drunk their beer.
“Again!”, Selena protested, “I can’t lose against you!”
“Okay.”, I said and grabbed another can, and both of them did too. This time I counted. “One, two, three.”
Again I won.
We played again, I won. Selena still insisted on playing again, and we played on last time and of course I won again.
I laughed. “And again, I am the WINNER!”
“Cheater.”, Selena slurred.
“You’re a poor loser.”, I punched against her shoulder and she let herself fall down on the sofa.
“What about playing Truth or Dare?” Kira asked. She stood up and stumbled.
I laughed. “You don’t drink much, do you?”
She giggled. “Nope.”
Then she reeled to the kitchen to get an empty bottle.
We sat on the ground.
“I’m the birthday girl, I’m the one to spin first.” She spinned the bottle and it pointed on Selena.
“Come on.”, she sighed.
“Truth or Dare?”, Kira asked.
“Dare.”
“Let me see…”, Kira thought a moment. “I dare you to put off your jeans.”
This was going to be a crazy truth or dare.
Selena put off her jeans. “How long?”
“Till the end of the game.”, Kira grinned, “Now it’s your turn.”
The bottle pointed on me. I sighed. “Truth.”
Selena smiled impishly. “Do you fancy Leonard?”
I felt myself blushing and took a sip of my beer.
“Come on.”, Kira pushed me, “Tell us!”
I took a deep breath. “Yes.” I said quietly.
“I knew it.”, Kira shouted.
“We knew it.”, Selena corrected her, “Are you going to ask him out?”
“Only one question.” I said to end this awkwardness.
We played on and drank beer in doing so until the last can was empty.
“The booze is empty!” Selena slurred loudly.
I looked at my phone and shrugged. “Guys, it’s almost midnight.”, I couldn’t help it but laugh.
“I’ll call my mom, to pick us up.” Selena said.

As I was home again I tried to walk silently into my room. I let myself fall in my bed and starred at the ceiling, my vision was blurry. The light was off and I started to feel lonely. Out of a sudden I started to cry, I cried so badly and while I was crying, I fell asleep.
