Ch. 10

Later that night, Daniel was walking down the street, smiling down at his phone.

'A chat room with friends.. It's like a dream! My old chat rooms used to be like a prison..' He thought to himself.

He walked down the alley the people in his chat directed him to, and his excitement only increased as his path became sketchier and sketchier.

'No way..' he thought, 'Is it...'

'One of those hidden places for gourmets?'

Daniel had to calm himself down a bit, patting his chest and wiping his mouth in his sleeve because he began to drool at the thought of a decent restaurant with friends.

Once the door into the restaurant was finally in sight, Daniel began to hype himself up.

'Let's eat, have fun and take some pictures that you can stick on your phone. Behind these doors... are my friends.'

He focused on his breathing as he placed his hand on the door handle.

'Act natural!' He reminded himself one last time before opening the door with a smile.

"H-Hi!" He said excitedly.

"Oh, you're here." A voice from inside said.

But, what caught my eye was an unpleasant, hazy place.

Three of the people sat at the table greeted Daniel. Zack was too busy trying to process the fact that Daniel, of all people, was here, and one of the goons was distracted with Zoe's... anatomy.

Where nothing good was happening.

"What the fuck? Why's he here?" Zack finally choked out, cigarette still hanging from his lips.

"Hehe, surprise!" One of his followers laughed nervously.

"Come and sit, you must be hungry." Crimson chin said with a smile, cigarette smoke puffing from his mouth with every word he spoke.

Zoe, who was just begging Daniel to sit next to her, completely ignored the fact that someone was talking to Daniel and began to explain why she was there.

"I came myself and just happened to meet them. It must be fate~" she giggled.

'...right.' Someone else at the table thought.

'How'd she know about this?'

Another boy was still not over the fact that Zoe, a female human, had boobs.

'I guess it's not bad to have a girl here...' Doo and the chubby boy sitting next to her thought.

"Danny, sit here!" Zoe started again.

"No, there's space next to Zack."

"Fuck, what are you guys up to?"

Daniel blocked out the conversation and began to become nervous. 'Alcohol.. Is this okay? M..mom..'

I felt like I was trespassing on a forbidden territory.

Mom...

"Here, Daniel. Take this.We've been waiting to drink with you." Someone said as they handed him a shot glass.

Daniel didn't know what to do with the tiny cup, holding it with two hands.

"Drink up!" Someone at the table cheered.

Now I'm in a bind...

"Ah, I don't drink." Daniel said, trying to get himself out of the situation.
