I put on a T shirt and some jeans. I put my shoes on and grab my keys. Coron is on the couch watching TV.
"Young man where are you going to at this hour" he says to me.
"Drugs."
"Make sure to save me some!"
I bike to the place Lezlie told me to go. There's no one here. Suddenly Lezlie walks out the front door. She's wearing- she's uh.
"How do I look?"
"You uh, look nice."
"Thank you! I just adore green. There's something about it that mesmerizes me!"
"Uh, huh. You gonna skate there or do you want to ride with me. I've got the little bar things but I've never actually used them. Well except for Coron, but he doesn't count. Plus he's always a jerk when he rides with me so I haven't given him a ride in months so practically no one."
"You sure talk a lot. I think it's cute." She gives me a little peck on the cheek then gets on the back of the bike. I'm frozen in place out of shock.
"andele andele ariba ariba. Come on slowpoke, we're gonna show up late."
I start to pedal then ask her
"Where is this place?"
"The Terrence house. On Elmhast and Bursteck."
"Terrence like Jonathan Terence?"
"Yeah!"
"I hate that guy."
"Aw come on, I'm sure he's not that bad."
"Even if he wasn't, I'd still hate him"
"It is what it is my dude."
We stop at a bike rack and lock my bike there.
The parties already started. Lezlie notices someone and screams out
"Oh Luci,Luci!"
This Red headed girl turns around and walks to us.
"What's up Dōku. And who's this match stick with you?
"This is Jacob. He works at the place I like?"
"Red's Refined Records?" Luci says.
"I just call it Tripper. Like Triple R?"
"Oh I like that!" Lezlie responds
"Well I'm gonna go inside, and Lezlie, don't drink too much. I'm trusting you Beanstalk. Make sure she doesn't die or something. " She says as she walks away.
"Wait alcohol? I don't like this." I tell her
"Aw come onnnn"
"If there's one thing that doesn't mesh well, it's teenagers and liquor"
"Pleaseeeee" she says with puppy dog eyes.
"No."
"Remember what Luci saiddd. What if I tell her that you told me to drink way too much. You wouldn't like her when she's maddd.
I turn around.
"You are evil, you know that?"I tell her.
"You know you loveeee me. Now come on, let's go Inside."
The house is blaring with music and lights. Lezlie grabs my hand.
"Come on, we'll go in together."
I can't tell, is my hand shaking, or is it hers?
