Intoxicated

【Chapter 2】

Hollie woke up to her alarm clock ringing. She immediately turned it off and closed her eyes for a few more seconds recalling yesterday's events.

Andre.

Boy was she lucky to have him. Hollie knew she had never been happier than she was now, knowing Andre was all hers.
She opened her eyes remembering she had to go to school. Rolling out of bed with a groan, she stretched herself and headed to the bathroom.

*****

Today had started with high spirits for Andre, for the first time ever he left home without having an argument with his mother.

It was a tiring routine, every morning she would lecture him by finding any possible little mistake on him from his clothes to his hair and sometimes even the way he walked. Andre knew his mother loved him and all she really was, was a perfectionist. Too much of it really, she had always managed to get everything done her way.

He drove to Hollie's place with his smile never leaving his face. As he got close to the house, he could see her running out from the front door right on cue. Her hair was Pouffier than usual and she smiled at him like a little child.

"Well someone's excited to go to school.", he said sarcastically as Hollie got into the passenger's seat. She shook her head as she chuckled, "Do you even know me? ".

"Well I would know you a whole lot better if you let me marry you... " he trailed off but paused for a minute taking in her body features. He smirked as he unconsciously took his hand and caressed her from her cheek and somehow found its way to her chest and slowly and ever so quietly he gave out a shaky breath and said "Especially on the honeymoon..."

Hollie immediately slapped his hand away,
"pervert", she said chuckling and buckling her seatbelt..

"Oh Lord, she thinks I'm joking", he said looking upwards, Hollie shook her head and slapped the back of his head.
"We're going to be late genius."

When they arrived at school, Andre's friends were on their usual hangout spot.
All five boys immediately noticed them.

There was Jameel, the baseball player, he always stood out, he was the most good looking. He had amazing hazel eyes that would put the stars to shame, he was half African and half Arabic and every exotic feature about him attracted a lot of attention.

The second was Ian, he was an Asian American. He had long silky black hair that reached his shoulders.

Then they were the Smith twins, goofy and classic comedians. Gabe had a fade cut while Cabe kept his huge Afro but today he braided it.

Lastly there was River, Andre's closest friend. He had pretty blonde hair that swept effortlessly across his blue eyes and he gave out the softest smile to Hollie and Andre as they approached..

Andre immediately knew something wasn't right. Because River Hails never smiles like that unless his hiding bad news. Hollie noticed Andre's smile drop as his hand slowly dropped from her shoulders..
Andre did not hesitate to confirm his suspicions with the other looks the rest of his friends gave.

“Okay boys, spill it. What's wrong?”

"Not to bum you guys out but there is a demon back from hell roaming around.", said Cabe in his dramatic manner.
