Lets Make a Pact

18 - This is Cali

Jared' s POV-

I honestly couldn't believe how long it had been without Celia, it didn't take me long to get used to it since we didn't have time to talk much when we did talk to each other. I managed to keep my grades up as well as make a name for myself in the football world. I went to a few parties keeping myself away from any over-confident prissy females or people in general because after the Celia visit I started to realize how many hot guys there was in college and at that point I'm questioning my sexuality. That's not my point though.

I had just got done with football practice and went into the locker room to change hearing some people talk about a party.

"Yo J you going to the party tonight It's a Friday." Adrian asked drying out his hair.

"Probably, I don't have anything better to do."

"MONSTERRR" Parker yelled holding his hand up for a high five which I return.

"Dude I've been to maybe 4 parties and you're calling me monster?" I asked

"Last time you go so drunk you beat 6 people at pool before making a record time for a keg stand then climbed up on the pool table and convinced everyone to go skinny dipping." Parker explained which left me wondering why I remembered none of it

"I sound like a typical frat boy."

"Hell no you may be one drug but you actually have a personality" Adrian says with a little laugh.

"Anyways get Marcus away from skype for a night and have him drop by the beach house is always open to visits." Parker said referring to a huge house that Adrian's dad owns on the beach shore where his dad let's him throw parties when they aren't using it.

I take a bus to the stop closest to the house and walked the rest of the way. When I got home I go take a shower, I get out wrapping a towel around my waist. I got to the room and get dressed in a pair of shorts before going to look around for Marcus. I go to to deck and find him facetiming Mary. I sneak up behind his and put him in a light choke hold.

"What's up Mary how's life" I say and she looks at me with wide eyes.

"Nothing much scruffy" She says making me remember that I now had light facial hair. I felt like letting it grow out a little since I'm in college and need to look a little tougher so that I don't actually have a baby face.

"Oh yea" I say setting my chin on top of Marcus' head arms drapped over his shoulders, "I figured I gotta try something different."

"I like it, it suits you." She says and I tilt a fake cowboy hat towards the phone, I stand straight and do a little spin.

"Notice anything else?" I say referring to the 20 pounds of muscle I've gained over the month, It's not a lot but enough without looking like I'm on roids.

"I mean you've gotten more muscle but Marcus here has got you beat" SHe says and I laugh patting his head.

"Yes sir he does bye fools don't get to freaky. Marcus I'm going to the beach house party later if you wanna drop by." I say going inside putting on a shirt. My hair had also grown out so I started wearing hats which is why I put a blue baseball cap on backwards. I put on my shoes then go eat before taking a taxi to the beach.

The party started at 7 so we could start the bonfire before the sun went down. I helped the other football players set up to wood into a cone like shape. Adrian lights the fire and everyone starts screaming excitedly as the fire roars to life. Parker starts the music setting it on his so called 'night in cali' playlist. I grab a beer and start dancing the night away. Around 9 the party is still in high gear and I start talking to this that Parker introduced me to. Cass, the girl I've been talking to for the past hour, is actually really sweet. Right now we were dancing to some song on Parker's playlist.

Somehow I had ended up home the next morning. I heard someone talking to Marcus upstairs and rolled off of my bed climbing my way slowly out of bed. I got to the top of the stairs and looked over at the couch seeing Cass talking to Marcus with a bowl of cereal and my t-shirt on and it all comes back. Last night Cass and I got drunk danced, more than casually then we came here and cuddled watching american assassin.

"Good morning" Cass said waving and I smiled at her when Marcus turned to look at me with a little smirk.

"Morning Cass" I say putting some fruit and orange juice into the blender Cass was beautiful she had short brown hair cut like a pixie cut. She was short and had a slim body most of her curve settled in her hips and butt.

"Make me one dumbass" Marcus says as I pour the freshly blended fruity substance in a cup.

"You get your lazy ass off the couch and make yourself one." I spit out and can hear Cass trying to keep her laugh in. He groans and stands up walking himself to the kitchen giving me a thumbs up probably referring to the girl sitting on the couch. I sit next to Cass wrapping my arm around her before she pushes away from me.

"Hell no get your stinky ass in the shower I took one earlier," she paused before adding "with Marcus' permission of course" She smiled shyly before I smirked and stood up taking my shirt off throwing it at her. She dropped it on the ground with disgust pointing towards the bathroom.

I ran to the bedroom getting a pair of basketball shorts and a hat making my way towards the bathroom. I went and took a shower getting out I put on my briefs shorts then dried my hair before putting my hat on backwards. I quickly brush my teeth and put on deodorant then cologne. I go back upstairs seeing Cass still on the couch.

"I figured you'd be gone by now" I say honestly sad if she would have been.

"Nope I'm in charge of you Marcus said that all of us are going with someone named Derek to get a tattoo then to the beach." She says and I nod. We all, meaning the main 4 Celia's opinion gifted through Mary, had agreed that Derek fit into the group so perfectly that he should get the wrist tattoo with us but since there are only four houses in a deck of cards he suggested getting all four since he's the icing over the cake.

"Sweet you got a bathing suit?" I ask and she looks at me.

"You realize that this is California right? who doesn't have a suit we will just have to drop by my house first." She adds with a sweet smile the jewel set on her canine shiny from the light reflection.
