Whiphand, Brighthands and the other one

Chapter 5

(Sam's POV) 

The meetup with Drake and Caine had gone well after the food had arrived they had fallen into an easy conversation just getting to know each other.

Sam was power walking home now, he had overstayed way longer than expected, and now it 2 in the afternoon. The sun was shining and Sam almost regretted not going surfing with Quinn. Almost.

Luckily, Sam would be able to go surfing next week with Caine and Drake. Quinn would be so impressed that he had managed to get two hot boys on a date.

Sam turned off San Palao Avenue onto Ocean Boulevard. The sea was beautiful today and the waves looked great for surfing. He took more time walking now, wanting to enjoy the scenery as much as possible while still hurrying so his mum wasn't worried. Connie had been mad at him ever since the concert. 

Sam fiddled with his pocket trying to find his keys, which was a lot harder then it should be, considering there were only three things in it. He found them just as he arrived home. Inside, Sam called out to his mother to let her know he was home. He went to go to his room but she intercepted him in front of the stairs. 

"Where did you go Sam?" Connie asked him, suspiciously.

"I went to McDonalds with Quinn," Sam lied. He felt bad about lying but she seemed so annoyed about him being at Coates that he didn't want to tell the truth.

Connie frowned, "Did you have enough money?" Oh no! Sam only had three dollars, the rest had been in his wallet that Connie knew he had lost.

"I only got a drink," Sam told her. 

 "Which drink?" Connie asked him, "Was that enough for lunch?"

"It was enough, I just got a Coke." Sam could feel the sweat dripping down his back. His relationship with his mother was awful after the concert and the incident with his Step-Father.

"You need more food then!" Connie began walking towards the kitchen. Sam didn't think he could eat anymore after all that Caine had ordered.

"I ate most of Quinn's gravy loaded fries because it turns out he doesn't like gravy." Connie turned and looked at him, her eyes narrowed. Sam had messed up but he didn't know how.

"Quinn loves gravy." Fudge! She was right, it was his second favorite food, only to fish. He even put it on sandwiches, much to everyone else's disgust.

"Sorry?" Sam tried but Connie did not look satisfied, "I meet up with the people I went home from Coates with. They gave me their number and I needed my wallet back."

Connie looked so disappointed and Sam thought he saw a flash of fear in her eyes. He felt really guilty about lying to her, but he had been scared about what she would do, she was already disappointed and mad at him.

"What were there names?" Connie asked quietly.

"Caine and Drake? I don't know there last names." Sam offered. Connie looked pale in the light of the house. 

She sighed, "Go to your room Sam." 

"But..."

"Go to your room. Now."

Sam left. He wasn't sure why Connie was so mad about who he was meeting up with. Maybe Caine or Drake would know? But he didn't want to just tell them that he thought his mum hated them.

In the privacy of his room, Sam decided to talk to Quinn. Probably because he had no one else too talk to, not because Quinn would have a solution. He was a good listener though and he did have to tell him that he had invited people to go surfing with them. Quinn picked up on the second ring.

"Hey Brah." 

"Hey Dude. Do you mind if I bring two other guys surfing with us next week?"

"Not at all Dude. Who are they?"

"Well, after the concert, you know how I ended up with some dudes at Coates. Anyway, I left my wallet with them, so, today I went to McDonald's to get it back and they said we should meet up again." 

"That's cool," Quinn offered calmly, "Brah."

"It's a date." Sam said in a rush.

"How did you manage to get a date before me?" Quinn asked jokingly, "Are they hot?"

"Well, the first one, Caine, has this really dark brown hair and it floats in the breeze. He's really pale but his complexion is perfect. He's so formal and intimidating. The second is Drake, he has blond hair and is kinda short but he has really pretty grey eyes. He has great muscles and I reckon he could kill a man."

"Wait a second! TWO DATES?" Quinn yelled through the phone. Ouch.

"Yes?" Sam asked.

"That's hella cool brah! So great! How did you manage to catch two hot guys at once?" Sam wasn't sure of the answer either.

"But there's a problem." Sam took a deep breath, "I think mum knows who they are. And doesn't like them."
