Finding Hope

Chapter 3: Don't do drugs kids

I starred at the death trap that I was about to die on. If anything the thing I hate the most in the world is motorcycles. 

I wouldn't say hate, but more like fear. When I was 14, Claire had the bright idea of taking her brother's motorcycle out for a joyride since he taught her how to drive it. Me being me , I said I would go with her. Long story short, she lost control of the bike and we crashed. Luckily it was just into a fence but ever since then  they have been my number one fear. 

'' No way am I getting on that thing you call a bike''. He only rolled his eyes at me and hopped on. 

'' Princess either you get on the bike willingly, or I will strap you onto the bike''. The way he smiled at me while saying that reminded me of the Spawn of Satan. More like Satan himself actually. 

I knew I had no choice , so I took the helmet out of  the compartment and hopped on the bike. I wrapped my arms around his stomach and prayed that tonight I wouldn't die.  

He started up the bike and we were off. The wind was blowing in my face and everything was passing by as a blur. I do admit that it was a nice feeling to have, but I still felt that pit of nervousness in my stomach. 

We were only on the bike for a few minutes when we stopped in front of a house. His house to be more specific. 

'' Um I hope you realize that this is your house right?" I was slightly confused as to why he would take us to his house of all places. 

He only smirked at me and started walking up his driveway. I followed him curious to know what he was up to. 

He stopped when we got to the door. '' I hope you don't mind, but I invited a few friends over''. I felt like he meant something else when he said that but he didn't give me time to speak because he suddely opened the door and walked into the foyer.

Inside I followed him to the basement to find Isaac Lahar and Ben Bennet playing video games while drinking beer. 

Suddely, they stopped playing and all eyes were on me. I tend to get nervous when all the attention is on me so all I could do was hide beind Carter. 

'' Well, if it isn't Ms. nerd''. I got a little annoyed that Isaac  called me that but what can you say. The name says it all. At least I don't have braces and wear overalls.  

Carter walked over to them and did that bro hug that every guy does. I found them to be quite pointless if you ask me. 

'' What's the nerd doing here?". And yet again all eyes were on me. Seriously, what's with the nicknames all a sudden? 

'' The nerd was my only way out of that dinner so give her some creds dude.'' I was a little surprised by Carter's response.  

'' Well then , she better be prepared for what's to come'' said Ben. Now that made me a little scarred but what could i possibly need to be prepared for? 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

While the guys were playing video games,I was on my phone pretending to have a social life. 

'' DIE MOTHERFUCKER, DIE!". I swear the guys were way too into this gaming shit. I mean all they did in the end was kill each other. What a pointless hobby. 

Carter looked over at me and saw that I hadn't touched the beer he gave me. I've never really tried drinking before , but the idea had always intrigued me. But for all I know, Carter could have put anything in my drink. 

'' You know, a beer is meant to be drank  right?''. His voice was dripping with sarcasm. 

'' For all I know, you could have laced my drink with something. I mean it is you, afterall.'' That got him a little pissed off and probably put a dent in his ego. 

'' So what? You think I drug girls to get them to sleep with me?". 

''Precisely.'' I smiled at our little arguement. 

'' Princess, girls literally jump my bones in the middle of the hallway. I don't think i'd need to drug them when i already have the entire girl's population at school begging me to do them.'' Of course he would say something like that. 

'' Correction. 99 percent  because there's no way I  would ever want to jump your bones.'' 

He just smiled at my comeback and went back to playing the game. That got him to shut up alright. 

Suddenly, Ben dropped his controller and  sighed. '' Guys are we seriously gonna play video games when we could be doing something more funner.'' 

'' And what would that be dumbass?'' said Isaac. 

He gave us all a mysterious smirk and retreated to the other side of the room. He came back with his backpack and set it on the table. 

It looked like the guys already knew what he was talking about but i was clueless. 

He lifted something out of his bag. Pot. A lot of it too. 

'' Don't do drugs kids.'' Of course he was just joking. I had heard rumors about Ben being a dealer, but I wasn't a true  believer  in  rumors. I guess now the rumors were just confirmed. 

I started to panic a little. I mean, I had never actually seen pot and now that I have....... 

'' Dude go get my bong.'' Isaac ran out of the room to retieve it. I guess they were really going to do this then. 

I don't think drugs are super bad for you but its how my brother died.  Jason and I were always close, but i never noticed his depression. The look his eyes gave me that said he wanted to die. 

I was deep in thought that I didn't hear a word of what they were saying until someone started snapping their fingers in front of my face. 

I looked up in a daze. '' What?" I said harshly. 

'' Do you want to try?". Ben had a soft smile on his face and for a moment I forgot that he was a drug dealing bad boy. 

'' Ummmm no thanks, but thanks for t- 

'' Of course Ms. Nerd would say no'' said Carter. I looked at him with anger. 

'' You know what fine I'll try it.'' With that I grabbed the bong out of Isaac's hands and sat down on the couch. 

I now prayed that nothing would go wrong, but my chances were low at this point. 

Hope you gus enjoyed this chapter. I'm not trying to make it super cliche like the goodgirl tries to change the bad boys ways . More like the other way around. Vote and Comment!
