CHAPTER TWO AND UNDER THE JASMINE, I SHALL DIE !
on the saturday that followed, mike sat in his beloved basement, sunken onto the carpet between a bundle of pillows and cheese-it's crumbs whilst he played a video game with a blank stare. will sat on the couch behind him, knees pulled up to his chest as he red a novel with furious intensity. lucas and dustin chowed down on pizza, sauce and cheese between their teeth as they argued over some ridiculous scientific terminology.
interrupting mikes deep concentration on his gaming strategy, lucas leaped up, speaking with a mouthful of pizza. "shit! i forgot i was going to meet max!"
"again?" will questioned softly from behind his book, eyes peering over the top with a raised eyebrow.
"yes, again. god, i have more of a life than just sitting in mike's basement all day." the boy chortled back, a hand placed on his hip- just like his younger sister erica would.
"go then," mike muttered, mouth full. "i'd rather you be horny with her than us."
"whats that even supposed to mean?" lucas said, bewildered as he scrunched up his face.
dustin took a bite of his overly sloppy slice of pizza, tugging at a stubborn piece of pepperoni with his teeth. "he just has his panties in a bunch because he can't even get a girlfriend to begin with."
"mike's girlfriend is his left hand." lucas snorted, mimicking an action with his hand to his groin area that made mikes cheeks burn with...anger? embarrassment? he wasn't sure.
"you make me sound like i jerk off twenty four seven." he snapped, tossing the empty pizza box at lucas, who was still laughing as he hit it which made it divert in another direction.
"because you probably do." dustin piped up, laughing along with lucas.
"speak for yourself." mike fought back. dustin didn't reply.
will peered over his book, murmuring. "you guys are disgusting."
this caused a ripple of laughter throughout the slightly humid basement. mike switched off his gaming console, the room dimming from the lack of light.
"anyway," lucas continued, snickering in mikes direction. "max said she wants to loose her virginity when she turns sixteen next year."
