He didn't want to drink it, but he had to. This party was stupid anyways so him drinking to get out of here wasn't bad altogether.
I didn't get one thing—why did everyone keep staring at him. He was the focus in every room. Like the centre of attraction or whatever. But I was sure it wasn't possitive—the attention he got. He seemed really uncomfortable. It was really awkward for him I guess.
We were walking around Caroline Street, which was where our school was. It was past midnight so obviously it was sorta frizzy. Like the winds were just kicking in through a late summer vibe. It was in a slight way cold, but also not. I guess winter is coming.
We were walking in utter silence. I would speak but I could clearly see Allan wasn't in mood.
Ten minutes later we were walking down the hallways of Hamden High. My head ached a bit. Probably cus of all those bottles I chugged at the party.
"Where are we going dude?" I had to ask as I really can't keep my mouth shut.
"Just follow me." Allan said.
We took the staircase to the second floor. The school seemed... different at night. I followed Allan to the restricted part of the wing.
There was a little staircase at the extreme corner of the section. The stairs felt really small and uneven as I followed him. I saw how he popped open a little door at the end of the staircase.
It was a wide ass open space. This was probably the rooftop of the school. But why come here from such a small staircase when we could have just used the main one?
"Woah!" I couldn't help but compliment. "This is amazing." I looked at the view from the top. It was very very very good. Like you could see half the city, probably more from here.
"You asked where would I be. So here we are." He said. I turned to look at him. He was smiling. This was new.
"This place has an amazing view." I noticed how excited and hyped I was.
He walked past me and went and sat on the ledge with his legs upon it. "You coming?" He screamed.
I slowly went and positioned myself beside him, hoping I wouldn't fall. Was he high? But he didn't even drink so much. He just had one glass.
Wow!
"Hey.. I just wanted to ask—Why was everyone staring at you today at the party?" I shouldn't have opened my mouth. Fuckkkkk.
"What do you see from here Jace?" He was still smiling. Did he ignore what I just asked? He was definitely super high though.
I looked at the view once again. I didn't see much. Just most of Hamden that looked beautiful collectively. "I don't know." I hesitated. I don't even know why. "I see houses, different buildings, the field, the lake, the bridge maybe. What more?"
