Love Gone Wrong

Chapter 6: Vlad

Chapter 6: Vlad

School was out and instead of going out into town right away he was questioned by the girl he just so happened to be banging. "Why didn't you call me?!" she asked, clearly cross. "I told you to call me yesterday and you didn't!"

"Jesus woman, just calm down!" he said, "I'll call you today or something." he lied.

"You better!" she huffed, her arms crossing. "Maybe I'll forgive you and you can come over on Saturday so we can have a little fun." She winked at him and then flounced away.

"Damn, she's annoying." he muttered to himself. Ivan and Nicolas gestured him and he came on over.

"Clingy?" Nicolas asked. Vlad nodded in annoyance as he hastily yanked out a cigarette and lit it. "Yeah, I know. I dated her for a week and she thought that we were going steady on the third day."

"Doesn't she know she's being used?" Ivan asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Of course not you eblan (dumb-ass)!" Nicolas scoffed as the two headed past the school and into town. "You don't want the suka (bitch) to know! That's the fun part of it!"

Ivan jabbed at Nicolas and Nicolas jabbed back but they were smart enought not to go even further. That's what Vlad liked about them. They knew how to show restraint. Not a lot of people he knew could do that well.

"Hey, Vladimir, aren't you going to some fancy party full of rich political people?" Ivan asked.

Vlad raised an eyebrow and nodded. "Not like I wanna go."

"That's so cool!" Nicolas exclaimed. "Being rich and all and throwing parties whenever you want!"

"But it's going to be full of old people." Vlad complained.

"Still, but don't those dinosaurs have hot teenage daughters?" Ivan asked. "You could totally slip into a room and mess around with them."

"True," Vlad said, smiling. "I like the way you think."

Ivan slung his arm around Vlad's shoulder. "See, it isn't that bad!"

"You gay Ivan?" Nicolas teased. "Being all close to Vlady here, aren't you?"

"Otebis' (fuck off)!" Ivan growled, unslinging his arm around Vlad and kicked Nicolas in the shins.

Nicolas stuck out his tongue. "Whatever you say, huesos (cock sucker)!" Nicolas exclaimed.

"Zavali yebalo (shut the fuck up), won't you?" Vlad asked, but still in a teasing mood. "So what do you want to do today?"

"Throw rocks at birds?" Ivan asked. All three teenage boys smiled at the memories of their 11 year old selves running throughout town with rocks in their hands chucking rocks at pigeons.

"Too elementary." Nicolas murmured. Stroking his hairless chin. Or maybe it had hair on it but his lemon blonde hair was so light that you couldn't notice any facial hair on him. "I've got it, girls."

"What about girls?" Vlad asked. They stopped at a bank and leaned against the brick.

"You know, since it's Friday and there are bound to be ladies crawling all over the place shopping." Nicolas said. "Maybe we could pick some up."

"Why would they let you even talk to them?" Ivan teased, but that earned him a hard punch on the arm. "Ow."

Bored, and undecided, they decided to walk to the shopping mall where it was crawling with teenagers still in their school uniforms loitering around the mall in groups. The mall cops looked highly annoyed but they bought things like drinks and the little things so they couldn't be kicked out.
