Time for a Break
RILEY’S P. O. V.
I put the box by the door, I only managed to do the girls locker room today. I will do the guys tomorrow. Might as well take my time, then I don’t have to worry about returning to the field. I have one more class than I can drink the thoughts away. I clear my eyes and make sure I am out of the locker room before Brittney gets back. I do not want to see her again.
When I am walking to my next class I see Dylan, we lock eyes. He starts to head in my direction. I step another way. I have no intention of talking to him right now. I manage to avoid him by ducking into the library and I see him go past the door. Thank God he didn’t see where I went. I wait for a bit and then head to my last class. For once I am just counting down until school is out.
Once that last bell rings I rush to my locker and deposit all of my books. I head straight to Katelyn’s car. She isn’t there yet, but I was booking it so I am not surprised. I lean against her hood and start shooting a text to my aunt and one to my mom. I just tell them I need some girl time so I am spending the night with Katelyn. They won’t ask questions. Ok, maybe they will but they are easy to avoid.
I am looking at my phone and don’t notice Brittney coming up to me. “What are you doing, loser? I hope you aren’t waiting for Dylan, he is mine now. I will make sure that he stays away from you. What made you think that Dylan would actually want anything to do with you?”
“I guess he was thinking of you when his tongue was down my throat. But hey, what do I know?” I smile at her. “Don’t worry Brittney, he is all yours. I don’t need some wishy washy ass around. Keep him.” I am hurt but at least I caught her enough off guard. I can see the shocked look on her face when I mentioned Dylan kissing me. She obviously never thought of it like that.
Kevin comes up behind Brittney. “Get lost bitch. We are not hosting Bitch hour. We don’t care what you got or don’t got.” For some reason he emphasizes the last part.
Brittney turns to Kevin, “Oh, you would be if I wanted you.”
“Like I would want your skanky ass. Get real. Go find Dylan, we don’t want you here.” He makes a shooing motion to her.
Brittney stalks off. I grin at Kevin. “Thanks. I really don’t want to listen to her shit right now.”
“Don’t worry I got your back. Where is Katelyn?”
“She should be coming. I am not sure what is taking her so long.”
“Should I take my car or just leave it here?”
“Just leave it here. You don’t need it right. Unless you are planning on running out on us in the middle of the night.”
“What kind of guy do you take me for? To leave two hot chicks in the middle of the night. I would be out of my mind.”
“You know you aren’t getting laid right?”
“I don’t always think with my dick.” He looks a little hurt but then corrects himself. “But I can see where you would get that. I do have a question though. Are you really a virgin or was that just something that everyone was saying?”
“I am, is there a problem with it?”
“Hell no, it is refreshing these days. It seems like every chick is spreading their legs with every guy they come across. I know Katelyn isn’t spreading it around either. You girls are great. I am sorry I was such a dick before about it. I thought maybe it was a lie that was getting spread around to make you look better. Although some people probably thought it was a bad thing.”
“Thanks Kevin. I am grateful for the apology. It makes me feel good.”
I look over towards the gate of the school and see Katelyn arguing with Dylan. She poked him in the chest and walked towards us. Dylan looked at me but he stayed planted where he was. Obviously whatever Katelyn said got through. “Let’s get the fuck out of here. Now I need a drink.” Katelyn throws open her door and Kevin and I jump in with Kevin in the back seat and me riding shotgun.
“What the hell did he want?” Kevin calls over the seat.
“He wanted to talk to Riley, I told him over my dead body. Fucking asshole tried to say he was sorry. Sorry for using my best friend I don’t fucking care how sorry you are, you better kick rocks.”
“At least he got the hint. I have been dodging him all day.” I settle into my seat, it is at least a thirty minute drive to Katelyn’s.
“Yeah, he cornered me in P. E. when you didn’t show up. I told him to keep to himself too. Dude is thick. Dylan needs to have his brain examined. He has Brittney fawning all over him and he doesn’t put her in her place, but he expects you just to roll over for him. He is a fucking a dick.” Kevin leans forward from the backseat.
“Alright I don’t want to hear about him again, it is now operation cheer up Riley. Let’s get fucked up and pretend that Dylan doesn’t igsist.” Katelyn grins. “Whiskey or Tequila?”
“It is definitely a Tequila night.” I grin at her. She knows that she is the Whiskey drinker, not me. “You can have your whiskey, just leave me the bottle.”
Kevin pipes up from the back. “Do you eat the worm?”
“No, that is gross. I heard it is a really big high though.” I give it some thought. I wouldn’t do it, it is just too gross.
“I’ll give it a go. Never have before but it would be an interesting test.” Kevin considers it.
“Too bad, my parents don’t get the tequila with the worms in it. So no test tonight. Do you guys want pizza too?”
“Yes, cheese please.” I pipe up. I can tell tonight is going to be fun.
After we get to Katelyn’s, she orders three pizzas, one for each of us, since we can’t decide on what toppings we want. Then as soon as the pizza gets there we break out the bottles. Whiskey for Katelyn, Tequila for me and Kevin has a little of both. We turn on some crap show on tv only so we can laugh at it while we get totally wasted. I start to feel fuzzy after about an hour, then it all goes black.
