Where do all The Cool People Go?

Chapter Two

Sick On Butterflies

My eyes widened as I felt a small figure climb on top of me. It was Ani, my best friend in the world. "Ani-" She quickly shushed me with his finger, and voice, "Shh, it's okay, I'm not gonna hurt you. . . ." She trailed off, and held my face with her small hands. The suddenly she kissed me oh so softly, and I couldn't help but run my hands up her waist. Ani was my dream girl, and she's always been. So small, so delicate, so sweet. I want to always kiss her. "Brandon," she softly sighed, "What, Ani?" I asked, and cupped her face, "Brandon, I-"
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
My alarm clock made me shoot up like I was crazy, and realize I was soaked in sweat. Fuck me. I don't know how I do it—actually it might be my huge, thick comforter, but my room gets so fucking cold in the middle of the night. I get up, and go to the bathroom, and start a shower. I don't have a super long time to get ready, I only have around 20 minutes (maybe more, I don't really know) til I usually leave to skate to school. I stripped, and hopped into the shower, which was immediately fucking freezing; I turned it down, and it felt a lot better. I relaxed, and felt close to falling asleep as I let the water rush over me. Maybe I fell asleep for, like, ten minutes, but after that I was good, and quickly washed my whole body. The whole time I though about math with Ani, I haven't seen her in two weeks, and I honestly miss the little gremlin. She's so cute, and demonic, and funny too. She's super easy to like; but I wish I didn't like her, 'cause she'll never like me back. God, I can't do a good ollie, how could she like me?!
I finished my shower, and started to brush my teeth when I heard banging on the door. "Hurry it up, boy!" My father yelled at me, and maybe be practically jump out my skin. I finished quickly, and ran out the room, but not without my father yelling at me, "DON'T TAKE SO DAMN LONG IN THE BATHROOM!" I don't really care to listen to my dad, he isn't all that great himself. I went back to my room, and dried off as good as I could, and tossed the moist towel into a pile of other dirty laundry (that I never will wash), and look for some clothes to wear. I slipped on a Vans shirt, and then beige cargo pants, and a pair of black slip on vans. I looked at myself in this big stand up mirror (I have leaning on the walls of the corner of the room), and admired my own outfit. "BRANDON?" My step mom, Claire, called for me from the kitchen. "YES?" I called back, and grabbed my phone, and slipped it deep into my pocket, then grabbed my backpack, and board. This board was new from this Christmas, funny enough Claire got it for me, it was just plain black on both sides, and I liked that a lot. Claire even talked to me about getting a design on it, but I wouldn't want to waste more of her money on it, I don't even like styled boards. I mean no one even sees it, and it's bound to get fucked up.
I walked downstairs, and Claire smiled at me, "Hungry?" She held out a plate of pancakes and sausage, which I immediately took, and sat down at the small table we called the dinning table. I slipped my phone out, and texted some people, first Henry (one of my best friends). "Hey, where should we meet today?" He quick as possible texted me back, "The cafeteria. I have a new trick to show the gang." I scoffed at his message; Henry's not good at tricks, not at all. Ani is, and so is Kwite, and Alex. Alex gets it extremely quick, and Kwite tries, and researches it, and Ani is a visual learner so all she has to do is watch and learn. "Ight." I reply to Henry.
     Once I was done I told Claire goodbye, and headed out. "Hey, the gang is behind the cafeteria today." I text Ani, and shove my phone back in my pocket; that girl never texts back in less than 15 minutes. I softly ran, then dropped my board, and hopped into it. I pushed off with my left, and glided down the street. I took out my earphones, and shoved them in my ears. 'Love Me Dead' by Ludo started to play, and I swayed my board side to side. I hummed the toon, and kept peddling forward.
Soon I was at the school, skating through the teacher's parking lot, and spotted Diesel, and his girlfriend Ghoul. He quickly put out what ever he was smoking, and Ghoul kissed him on the cheek, and walked off. She didn't really like to hang out with all of us, and I wouldn't blame her. I stopped my board sloppily, tripping over the pavement, then picking it up. "Hey." I waved to Diesel, and he waved back, "Sup!" And we went to the staircase that lead from the parking lot up to the cafeteria porch. "How was your Christmas break?" I asked him, as he sat down on the stairs. "Pretty good. I got a bunch of money for Christmas, and from working full time at the Wendy's. And I got to hang with Ghoul on Christmas." He smirked a nasty smirk, Diesel always wanted everyone to be jealous he had a girlfriend. It didn't work wonderfully, only person that honestly seemed jealous was Kwite, but he won't talk about; and he thinks he's hiding it, which he isn't at all. Speaking of Kwite he was walking up on us as Diesel and I were talking about how our Christmas break went. "AGHHH!" Kwite screamed, making Diesel jump. "WHAT THE FUCK, DUDE?!" Diesel yelled back at the younger boy, and swatted at him. Diesel hit Kwite in the stomach making Kwite double back, and fall to his ass. "Fuck. . . ." He squeaked in the highest voice he had. "Serves you right." Then I chimed in, "Come on, Des, you hit fucking hard, and he's only 15!" I snark, and Diesel sighs, and lifts Kwite by the arm, and gives him a nuggie. Diesel was honestly the hobo, druggie dad of the group. And Ani was the wine mom.
Only minutes later did Henry skate into the school. "Wazup!" He yelled, as he ran up to us. I slapped the back of his head, and snarked, "Sup, loser. What's your trick you wanted to show us?" Henry moved away, she snarled, "Hey, I wanted to announce it!" He hopped up the stairs, "I'm gonna boardslide off this railing!" He announced, and we all sighed. "Do you even know how to do that?" Diesel laughed, and Henry puffed her cheeks, "Yeah, fuck-ass, I've been p-practicing all Christmas b-break!" Henry starting to stutter mid-sentence. "Then show us." Kwite budded in, and we all watched at Henry ran up the stairs skateboard gripped in his hand. He started off strong, and even got off the ground with the skateboard, but we watched as he didn't jump high enough to land on the railing so he immediately slammed on his ass. The whole group erupted in laugher, wheezes and snorts too. "HOLY SHIT I WISH I HAD THAT ON FILM!" I laughed so hard, and felt my face get all red. "SHUT THE FUCKING FUCK UP, FAT-ASS!" Henry growled, but it was more like Chihuahua yaps. "God, cool it, bitch." I scoff, and my laughing dies off (as I think Diesel is pulling out his inhaler), and Henry runs over to where he once was clutching his skateboard. As quickly as humanly possible I take out my phone, and record the annoying Brit.
Kwite, Diesel, and I kept bursting into laughter as Henry failed every attempt he tried, sometimes I had to catch the annoying brit. But soon he had gotten tired of us laughing, and yelled for us to try it, and Kwite immediately scoffed up the courage, and ran up the stairs to where Henry started. We watched as Kwite almost did just as Henry did when he got to the railing, but this time almost doing a backwards summersault, absolutely railing his back. "Holy shit!" Diesel screamed with too much entertainment in the situation, "Ow, I think I need 911." Kwite scoffed, and Diesel pulled him up laughing so much at Kwite's dumb joke. Then Kwite tried again, and he nailed it! Well all but the landing where he scrapped himself over the concrete. "HELL YEAH! FUCK YOU, YOU CAN'T DO IT!" Kwite yelled as loud as he could at Henry, and Henry started to collect his spit to spit on Kwite.
     Kwite could be heard whining shit over and over as he jumped into Diesel's arms. Soon they started to keep trying, at one point Henry fell like a baby bird falling from it's nest to the stairs. I was crying when that happened especially since I had gotten it on film. Ani will love this.
     Speak of the devil, that gremlin had jumped on my back without me even hearing her, with so much force I almost fell over, but oh so luckily she screamed like a dying dog in my ear to keep me steady. That was Ani, she was the only girl in our group, the only one who could do an Ollie over something, and the one that copied all my homework. The one I shouldn't crush on.
"Hello, my brainless friends." She greeted us, and immediately got backlash. "Says the girl getting Fs in English, dyslexic ass." I jokingly push her, and she laughs all too loudly. And too cutely. "Listen we're all dumb-" Henry was cut off by Diesel's cocky voice, "Speak for yourself! I'm in honors!" "Failing honors." Kwite hummed at him, and Diesel pokes him as the bell rings. "Shiiiitt" I hear Ani whine, as she headed to our first period algebra 2. "Look!" I said, as I jumped in her face, making her tense but then giggle. I showed her all the videos of the guys trying to boardslide, and I was right that she loved Henry falling like a baby bird.
Soon we were sitting in our usual places, and like usual I was showing Ani this amazing beans meme, but Mr. Rockford didn't like it as much. Ani's loud ass wouldn't stop giggling, so I would pinch her thighs and grunt for her to stop. I couldn't lie and say I wasn't very appropriate with Ani: always touching her butt and thighs in anyway I could. I'd successfully made Ani turn shades of pink making her face look like a rose. She's so gorgeous.
