DAVID’S POVš
“Hey dude” I heard Michael’s voice as he approached me, I was putting my book in my locker, I picked my basket ball and jammed the locker closed.
I turned to him and he raised his hands for a handshake, but I gave him a bear hvg instead, when will he get the fact that as my best friend, he alone is entitled to be hvgged and not shake. He patted my back and we disĀ£ngaged.
“Sup” I asked.
“Nothing serious, just wanna go home and rest and then prepare for tonight p@rty, you know….” He win-ked and rocked his w@!st, crazy guy. “Boys gotta rock some bit-ches” he bit hisl-ips se-ductively, I swear if I was g@y, I would do anything to d@tĀ£ Michael, dude is as h0t as they come, just not like me though and I’m not boasting.
“You are staring like you wanna r@pĀ£ me, blink a little” he tea-sed and I nudged him while he giggles.
“Don’t let Kira hear you” we heard Henry’s voice. “How can Dave r@pĀ£ her bĀ©yfriĀ£nd, she’ll kill you, also if there’s anyone who’s supposed to r@pĀ£ any of you two, it should be me” he added as he shook Michael’s hand, He’s the g@y among us. he turned and nodded at me. “Sup dude” he asked.
“I’m good” I replied.
“I’m gonna kill you one of these days ru-by” we heard a guy shout from the other end of the hallway. We turned and saw ru-by running down to us with his back pack dancing everywhich way on his back.
“Even in your next life, you can’t tĀ©uƧh my hairline douchbag” ru-by yelled back at the guy, he turned and gave him the middle f!nger sign, the dude grumbled in anger and walked away.
“Hey guys” he greeted as if nothing happened.
“When will you stĀ©p ma-king troubles?” Henry asked him.
“On the 28th of nevertuary” he replied, he walked to his locker which was beside mine, he opened it and brou-ght out his car key and locked it back.
“Why keep your key in your locker?” Michael asked him.
“Miss Persia warned me not to come to her clas-s with it anymore” he answered.
“That’s because you always jingle it in clas-s” Henry complained.
“Yea, also her name is miss porshia not persia” Michael added.
“Really?” ru-by asked ignorantly, he finally shrugged it off. “Who’s re-ady for a ride, let me kick y’all’s as-s again.” He asked.
We usually go for an after school driving, and the winner is always Michael or me which got me wondering which as-s he wants to kick.
“You mean the other way round?” Michael asked him and we laughed.
“Can’t we forget about driving today and prepare for tonight’s p@rty” we turned when we heard her voice. Kira. And as usual, she’s walking like the world belong to her and her two minions, Bathny and Kiwi were walking on each of her sides.
“plea-se guys, let’s not go for driving today” She whined, I rolled my eyes in irritation.
“Hey babe” Michael said and k!$$Ā£d her, I double rolled my eyes, this girl just makes me sick.
“Hey, I’m out” I said to them and turned to leave, I can’t stand her nons-en-se.
I suddenly remembered Marichuiy, maybe I should go see her, I love her company and she’s so real, not a fake sl@yteenage queen like these dumb girls.
“Dude, where are you going this is 5:pm or aren’t you interested in today’s p@rty?” ru-by asked me.
“I’m never always interested, y’all always drag me there” I complained.
“Then allow us to drag you today as well” Kira said, she win-ked at me and bit herl-ips se-ductively, when will Michael see throu-gh this bit-ch, urggh.
“Not today, I nee-d to go see someone” I managed to reply without giving her a h0t punch on the face.
“Who is it that I don’t know of?” Michael asked.
“A new friend of mine” I replied as I walked towards the door knowing that they will follow me, and as expected, they followed me but Michael walked up to me.
“A new friend..?” He asked. “Dude do you have a secret girlfriend, otherwise who’s this new friend?”
I chuckled. “Must you know everything Michael?” I asked him with a sm-irk.
“So you do have a secret girlfriend?” Kira asked and I was tem-pted to squee-ze her mouth but I shrugged it off. “That’s pretty cool” she added with a sting of jealousy in her voice, shameless who-re.
We got outside and walked to the parking lot, I fished out my car key and pressed the unlock bu-tton, the car beeped indicating that it has unlocked.
“So you won’t be p@rtying with us tonight huh?” Henry asked.
“Or maybe, we could just go together and meet this new friend of his and then we all go to the p@rty” ru-by suggested and I turned to them.
“Uh, no nee-d for that” I replied. I really don’t want them to come along, cause they will get to know that the person is Marichuiy, they will make fun of her and me too.
“Oh come on, at least I’m supposed to know who your new friend is to make sure he’s safe to be with” Michael stated.
“Or she” Bathny added.
“Yea, it could be a she” Kiwi backed up.
“I said no nee-d for that” I argued.
“You you gotta choose one, it’s either we go with you or you forget it and come to the p@rty with us.” ru-by stated.
“Yes” everyone chorused.
“Really, that’s how you wanna make it?” I asked them and they all nodded.
I thought about it for a minute, I really don’t want to get Marichuiy into trouble with them, so I had to choose the p@rty.
“Fine, I’ll go to the p@rty with you” I replied. But then I got a second thought, how about during the time we will all go home to change and come out for the p@rty, I’ll go to Marichuiy’s house instead and then switch off my phone. Yea, that’s what I’m gonna do.
“And before you will try to outsmart us, ru-by is gonna go home with you” Michael stated. Whaaaaat! This guy is a smart dev*l, how did i forget that. I Palmed my face in my mind.
“Yea, I’m gonna call my bu-ttler to get my dress to your house or better still, I’ll take your clothe” ru-by added, he patted my shoulder and got into my car.
The rest giggled and got into their cars and drove off, I stood there transfixed, what sort of friends are these.
“Dude come on, this car won’t drive itself” ru-by called out from the car, I sighed and entered the car and zoomed off in high speed which made ru-by beg for his life, that’s what he gets for spoiling my plan.
**************
At the Club.
We sat at the VIP bar and the bar keeper mix some magarrito for us, we drank two glas-ses each and two sh0ts of scotch, the boys got high.
Michael and Kira dragged each other to the dance floor and got lost in the crowd.
Kiwi ran to the toilet for like the 10th time, if she knows her head can’t contain much alcohol, she should probably stĀ©p taking it, but peer pressure she’s getting from Kira and Bathny won’t let her focus, she really have low self esteem but in small cute way, I still like her more than other girls in school.
“Would you look at that h0ttie” Henry breathed out as he stared behind Bathny.
I looked to the direction and saw a cute looking Arabian guy sitting alone at another VIP bar. He was wearing a Hawaiian shi-t but his bu-tton were completely open ex-posing his really h0t ba-re tanned che-st. He looked about a year older that us though.
“You like that?” Bathny pointed in irritation.
“If you don’t like that, I wonder what’s your spec” Henry replied. He drank the last drop of his drink and stood up, he un-bu-ttoned his shi-t and asked me. “How do I look”
“You look ridiculous” Bathny replied, I gave her a brief stare and I didn’t nee-d to be told what’s going on. She’s into Henry and she’s angry that he’s crushing on a h0t guy.
“I didn’t ask you” Henry fired at her. She rolled her eyes at him but de-ep into her eyes, I could see disappointment and embarras-sment, so I decided to back her up
“But she’s right, you look ridiculous” I chuckled out.
“Y’all bit-ches are just jealous that I found me my Mr. Right, die on it, I’m outta here” he breathed out and rushed off.
Bathny and I were now the only ones on at the bar, and we went silent for a while before she broke it. “You know he looked really good and I was just lying about him looking ridiculous, why did you lie” she asked me out of the blue.
“I saw how embarras-sed you looked, so I just wanted to help” I shrugged.
She took a sip from her drink and sighed de-eply. “Is it bad to be in love with a g@y?” She asked.
I leaned closer to her and replied. “To be honest with you, it’s not, it’s just a waste of time. Girl you are young and beautiful, I’ll advice you look for someone who would love and cherish you, Henry will never be that guy for you” I replied.
She grumbled and leaned her head on the table. I patted her back.
She finally raised her head up and finished the drink in her glas-s.
I felt a hand wra-p around my shoulder from behind and then doubled. I looked up and saw two extremely h0t girls staring down at me.
“Hey Dave, guess it my lucky day, gosh you are so cute” one of them said to me.
“Wanna dance” the other one asked as she ca-ressed my face.
“No thank you” I replied.
“Oh come on” they persuaded.
“He said no, fu-ck off” Bathny fired at them, she looks drun!k.
“You heard my girlfriend, fu-ck off” I added.
“Jeez, alright, alright, chill” the first one replied and they walked away.
“Thanks” I said to Bathny and she shrugged.
“Just one question, why do you come here when you don’t actually do anything?” She asked me.
“I just wanna be out of the house sometimes, also those duck heads drags me all the time” I answered and she laughed while I chuckled.
She looked behind me and suddenly stĀ©pped laughing. Her face went completely pale and ha-rd , tears rolled down her cheeks but she wiped them off immediately.
“Why the sudden mood swing” I asked and looked behind me to know what changed her mood but I only saw people dancing and some k!ss!ngand all that.
“I thought I saw someone, my ex bestie” she said.
“Ex bestie, well why aren’t you guys friends again?” I asked.
“Something bad happened to her and my parents warned me to stay away from her otherwise they will sĀ£nd me to a boarding school all the way to England…..” She sniffed and fresh tears rained down her face, I think the alcohol is affecting her in a way. “I don’t wanna go to England” she cried out. “But I feel so bad for abandoning her when she nee-ded me the most. The memories of the times we shared hunts me all the time” she whined in tears.
“Then help her, how will your parents know?” I asked.
“Walls and trees have eyes and ears, you never can tell who’s watching” she replied and snapped at the barman to get her more drun!kbut I waved my hand at the guy not to bring another drink for her, I think she has had enough to last a whole week.
“Whoever she is, she was a better friend to you than that Kira will ever be, I don’t know why you and that cute one Kiwi decided to be friends with that bit-ch of all the bit-ches in school” I asked.
She chuckled and shrugged. “I don’t even know how I got to that friendsh!peither”
She cleaned her face and looked closely behind me. “It’s really her, what the h*ll is she doing here” she mumbled to herself.
I turned behind me and almost froze when I saw her.
Marichuiy?
They both stared at each other for some minutes before Bathny ran off. But what is Marichuiy doing here?
She walked carefully to me and God she looks good, to my most dismay. She sat on the chair Bathny was sitting on. She snapped at the batman to get her a drink.
“Hi” she said without looking at me.
“So, cursed girl by day and p@rty girl by night huh?” I asked her.
“Wrong, I’ve never been to a club in my life” she stated.
“So what happened today” I asked.
“So I saw this guy in my dream and he told me to meet him here, that he can help me get free from this curse. That’s why I’m here……”
“How…”
TBC….
