Innocence || Dwayne (The Lost Boys)

Take a picture [4]

We had been at the boardwalk for less than 45 minutes and let me tell you, it was the most boring 45 minutes of my life. All Sabrina wanted to do was look at clothing shops and stay away from any crowds or action. The sky had started to get dark, the clouds casting a patchy light across the boardwalk. The air was warm, yet windy. It had to be around 60 degrees out, and it felt perfect. I no longer felt cramped or suffocated in that house, i felt free, but i was still bored as hell. Finally it was 6 o'clock after what felt like forever. "I guess we could go to the video store now and meet up with Cheryl" She sighed, looking at the watch on her left arm. I just shrugged simply and followed behind like a child, with nowhere to go.

It was about seven minutes of walking before we reached the video store, the sky was almost completely dark now and more and more kids had come out to the boardwalk for some fun. We waltzed into the video store and i was immediately met with the screeching of the two grown women, hugging each other tightly as if they hadn't seen each other in forever, which was kind of true i guess. I rolled my eyes and shook my head slightly, roaming around the store looking through the tapes and movies they had. I noticed a man behind the desk as well, he was tall, with a tan suit and big glasses on his face. I could only guess he was the owner as he was the only person behind the counter without a name tag on the front of his shirt.

Flipping through the movies again, there was the sound of the bell above the door. I snapped my head towards the door and stepped back almost in shock. My breath hitched in my throat as i noticed the four boys from the beach. I got a closer look at them now, almost analyzing each of them.

The first one, a slight bit shorter than the rest, with short blonde-almost white hair. He was wearing a long black coat with black gloves, a single earring dangling from his ear. The next boy, taller, with long, messy teased blonde hair. He was wearing a mesh shirt, with a black jacket layered on top, with tight white ripped skinny jeans and black boots. Another boy, about the same height as the second, had medium length, curly golden hair. His face seemed much more childlike than the rest, so i only assumed he must have been younger. He was clad in a white wife beater, with a very colorful detailed jacket on top, with blue jeans and black leather accents. Finally, my eyes were locked on the last boy. It was the dark headed boy who captured my interest the most that night at the beach. His chest was still bare, and his leather jacket and leopard print across the right sleeve, with black pants and heavy boots. He also had a wolf tooth earring and Native american style beaded necklaces across his neck.

"A picture would last a lot longer" The second boy, who almost looked like a member of twisted sister, Called to me winking. All of the their heads snapped towards me, including the dark haired boy. I felt my face instantly go red and hot, i Looked toward the ground before a small "Sorry" Escaped my lips. "It's cool sweet cheeks" He said again, as i snapped my head back up to scowl at him he finished with "I only come to look at one thing" glancing at the young girl behind the register. As she smiled and dismissed his comment, i quietly scoffed, putting own "The shining" back on the shelf before making my way back to the register.

"I thought i told you not to come in here anymore" The owner of the store said to them, clearly annoyed that they had ignored his orders. They all smiled and the second boy, who had talked to me, made an 'OK' symbol with his hand. They all exited together, almost like a pack of wolves, keeping the same distance between them the whole time. I am not sure what came over me, or what stupid idea came to my mind was, but all i knew was that i wanted to follow them, it felt almost as if i was being pulled towards them. So that is exactly what i planned on doing.
