Its the next day at school the day of the legendary party that Mikey is throwing. Last night didn't go too well and I'm afraid I might have made things awkward between us. But I'm still gonna go to his party because it would make things more awkward if I didn't. He said he's inviting our whole grade and some seniors. He's notorious for having wild parties that usually end with the neighbors calling the police. I've never actually been to one of his parties before, this is just what I've heard from people. I heard that at his last party a girl got so drunk that she got on the table, took off all her clothes, and started reciting the jingle bell rock scene in Mean Girls. Everyone recorded her and she was the talk of the town for about a week.
I get to school early just because I don't want Ms. Sha yelling at me about being late to class again. I arrive on campus twenty minutes before the bell rings. I'm usually not this early so I guess I'll just walk around.
I'm about to walk into the cafeteria when I see Mr. Brown run pass me and yell "YO you ready for that test today" I don't even respond I just roll my eyes and go into the cafeteria. Obviously I didn't study for his test. He makes zero sense when he's trying to explain logarithms and then he expects us to just know it for the test. Thank god there's no eoc for Algebra II because I would fail his class completely. I find an empty table and put my head down. I hear the bell ring so I rush to class and try to survive the rest of the day without completely dying.
It feels like this day didn't even happen. I zoned out the whole day and didn't pay attention at all. I finally get to go home and chill for a few until I have to get ready for Mikey's party. I get in my car and turn on the radio "BREAKING NEWS A TWELVE YEAR OLD BOY HAS JUST BEEN KIDNAPPED IN THE PEMBROKE PINES AREA IF YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION PLEASE CALL CRIME STOPPERS IMMEDIATELY"
That's crazy. I change the station and put on 103.5. Good form is playing. Anyone that knows me knows that I know all the lyrics to this. I scream the lyrics to this as I'm waiting for this light to turn green. "Cause I be the baddie b Barbie tings bangin body b everybody be on my d yo I gotta be in reality suck a d if you doubted me back of the back of the back of the back" I get home, put my bag down, and lay in my bed.
I've been wanting to do this all day. I take a nap for what feels like two minutes but I wake up and realize three hours passed. This keeps happening. And I still gotta get ready to go to Mikey's party. I put on my Tupac shirt with a black leather jacket, black jeans, and checkered converses. I put on my new Ralph Lauren cologne that I just got and I'm out the door.
Mikey's place isn't too far so it doesn't take me long to get there. The party starts at 7 but I'm always casually late so I arrive at 7:50. I knock on the door and I'm greeted with music blasting and people that already look drunk.
I walk in and try to find Mikey or at least someone I know. I look through the house and go to the kitchen where I see Mikey making what looks like a margarita for his guests.
"Heyy glad you can make it"
"Do you want a drink" he says pointing to the beverage he's making.
"Sure but not too strong" I say shouting because the music is so loud.
I try the drink and it's surprisingly really good. Mikey has a hidden talent.
"It tastes great" I tell him
"What" he responds shouting.
"I can't hear you let's go to the living room" he says
We walk to the living room and I'm able to hear him a little better.
"So how are you liking the party"
"Oh it's great" I say trying not to sound too enthusiastic.
"I've actually been meaning to tell you something Shane"
"Yeah what is it"
"Well since the first day we met in Spanish class I thought you were really cute and I immediately got feelings for you."
"Mikey"
"It's okay if you don't feel the same way"
"I have feelings for you too"
"You do?"
"Yeah"
"Then Shane Brown will you do me the honor of being my boyfriend." He says bowing.
"I'd love to"
I go to find a bathroom while Mikey talks to more of his friends that I don't know. I'm wondering through the house now. The one time I came to his house was when we had to work on a project. We stayed in the living room so I don't know where the bathroom is. I'm walking through the hallway when I see a face I haven't seen in a while. Rodney. We make I contact and I try to keep walking but he starts talking to me.
"Hey"
"I'm sorry about the way we left things" he says.
I'm not sure how to compose words at the moment. He waited a week just to talk to me. I told myself I was done with him. He ruined me. But I don't have the balls to tell him to his face.
"Don't worry about it" I say.
"How've you been? I didn't know you talked to Michael."
"Yeah we've actually gotten pretty close lately"
"That's good thats good" he says staring down at his shoes.
"Do you know where the bathroom is"
"Yeah I'll show you"
He takes me to the end of the hall on the left.
"Do you want me to help you use the bathroom too" he jokes.
I punch his arm. We both laugh then pause. We stare into each other eyes. I stare into his big brown eyes, the same eyes that used to get me aroused by the thought of us being something more than just friends.
He grabs my arms and pulls me closer. We lock lips. I can feel the warmth of his body pressed against mine. And his smooth skin rubbed against my face. His lips are soft as a pillow. He starts slipping his tongue in. I do the same. We're now French kissing. He pushes me against the wall and we continue. This time harder. I hear something odd but I try to ignore it as I'm deep into kissing his magical lips. Rodney stops kissing me. I see Mikey through the mirror.
"Oh my god" Rodney says
"Oh my god" Mikey says.
Oh my god.
