All three guys were sturdy and of the best ice hockey players on their team.
“Thanks, you’re lifesavers, come in.” I stepped out of the way and took the guitar from Jace as the three of them walked in.
We walked up to my room, and Jace whistled. “Nice crib, Blake.”
I chuckled as I took out a cigarette and put it into my mouth.
I offered the guys one, and Carlos was the only one that took a cigarette.
I had to use my lighter that Dad bought. I missed my Pink Kiss.
I grabbed the guitar and sat down in the chair by the desk as Carlos took the window to blow out his smoke.
I strummed the snares. It was so out of tune. I fiddled with the knobs in order to get the right sound.
“How long have you played?” Mike asked.
“A long time,” I said. “Music is my life.”
“Are you any good?”
I smiled. “I guess you have to wait and see tomorrow. You saw her today?”
They all became silent and looked at each other.
“Oh fuck, what happened?”
“Chloë, there was an incident,” Jace said. “It’s like she is focusing all her hatred towards this chick.”
I closed my eyes and tried to control my temper. “What happened?”
“Well, she was planning something. I tried to get it out of Liv, but she just said to watch and learn. That it would happen to my next girlfriend if I left her.”
“This chick is fucking crazy. I’m not her boyfriend.” I dragged the cigarette, and the cherry glowed bright red as I puffed the smoke out of my nostrils.
“Yeah, well, nobody says no to Chloë,” Carlos answered.
“I don’t fucking care.”
“She is a bit flat chested, Blake,” Mike said.
My lips curved. “They say a mouthful is more than enough.”
They all burst out laughing.
“So what did Chloë try to do?”
Jace shook his head. “I don’t know, but when Elena entered she had a paint mark on her face that looked like a shit stripe.”
I closed my eyes but couldn’t help the chuckle that pushed through my lips.
They all laughed.
“She didn’t go through with what she planned but she humiliated her in front of everyone about it.” Jace finished.
I shook my head.
“Well, I’m sure tomorrow, Chloë is going to get a wake up call.”
