First Party of the Year.

It didn’t matter where in the country you were; Maryland, LA, Maine...if it was the start of a semester; there was going to be some form of a party and on this warm end of summer night deep in the heart of Columbus, Ohio there was going to be a fucking rager.

DeShawn had been nominated by his fellowship of the evening; which consisted of the usual suspects Hunter, Jay and Spike as well as a new member; Jax, as the designated driver to get the fivesome to the the venue...at least to get them there, getting back was a different story and if the one and only Sexual Chocolate had his way, his leaving the party would involve a ridiculously attractive blonde cheerleader with legs like a racehorse, her little red and black outfit and probably a bottle of whiskey; he was a man of class after all. Then again, it didn’t necessarily have to be the Queen of Thorns that stole his attention tonight; there were a lot of other opportunities to be had.

That said it was because of said delectable blonde that Dee didn’t have a car. It only took one time for he and Melissa to be caught ensconced by his Uncle Denzel for his car keys to be stripped from his Bob Ross key ring and kept away from him. If he had still been on Fremont Street with his oldman, DeShawn probably would’ve kicked up a fuss and caused some kind of havoc. When it came to his uncle, the big man kept his mouth shut, listened and did what he was told. It was a matter of respect after all. Luckily for Dee and his Boys, his cousin Isaiah had a 2012 Ford Expedition at his disposal and he owed the linebacker about a half a dozen favours. Tonight; the Ford was his.

New Boy to the crew Jax had been the first stop; he didn’t live too far away from DeShawn. He was swiftly followed by JayVaughn, Hunter and then finally Spike who had decided to situate himself directly behind the driver's seat. 

[color=CB8DEB]”One rule; if you touch that radio imma whup all y’all asses; ya feel me?”[/color]

[color=#F3FF18]”Don’t touch the radio. Got it.”[/color] Jax replied to the comment, which Jax couldn't work out if it was a threat or just banter. Jax chose threat. In reality, Jax had been very reluctant to go to this party. He had started off by creating excuses about homework and study, but those lies fell through quickly. After speaking to his parents, they actually pushed him to go, almost setting a curfew to force him out of the house.

Essentially being forced to go, Jax didn’t feel the most relaxed. Spike had managed to arrange for him to get a lift, but it was with DeShawn and a few others that he wasn’t always the best with. Still, it was a ride there. The entire trip Jax focused on staying silent, looking out of the window and building a mental map of the route so if need be he could walk back. He still felt nervous and had to think of something to strike a conversation. He didn’t exactly have many hobbies to talk about so he just picked a topic.

[color=#F3FF18]”Wonder how aggressive Colin is going to be this year? From what I gathered things aren’t exactly going well… not that I actively try to discover what goes on in his life...”[/color]

[color=CB8DEB]”Things are never going well for Colin Gallagher young’un. Boy is chaos wrapped up, yo”[/color]

[color=#F3FF18]"I don't know. The impression I get is that this year he doesn't have anything to lose. It's the final year. Been thinking of borrowing Spikes Knight armour just incase"[/color] Jax replied with a soft but concerned chuckle. 

[color=228B22]“Why da fuck are we talkin’ about that buzzkill?”[/color] Behind the driver’s seat, holding onto it not because he needed to, but because he couldn’t help himself and shake it like a child, Spike leaned over JJ and peaked at the two in the front, [color=228B22]“Only good vibes in this car, got it? Which reminds me…”[/color] 

Pulling back, he dug in his jean jacket and took out a flask, immediately tossing it on Jax’s lap, [color=228B22]“You know what we’re not going to do? Be pussies. Drink up mother fuckers, locate your dicks, and [i]use[/i] them”[/color] Spike had more energy than usual and part of it was because he'd already started pregaming in the trailer. He needed to [i]feel good[/i] not only because he was ignoring the inevitable reality that Minty officially dumped his ass and fucked off somewhere without telling him, but also because this was the first party of the year. If there was one thing he was going to do, it was find himself a little hottie and tell her to suck him. If he didn’t achieve this goal tonight, why live?    

[color=#97ADBB]”Spike's right,"[/color] JayVaughn chimed in from the backseat, the light from his cell phone illuminating his face. All this talk of Colin had reminded him of what had happened a few days prior, and it wasn't really something that JJ wanted to be thinking about on a night like this one. He was trying to have [i]fun[/i], not worry about whatever drama Colin was about to get himself wrapped up in that year. [color=#97ADBB]"Super good vibes only. Tonight's gonna be a movie, fellas."[/color] 

As Hunter glanced up from his phone, which didn’t have anything [i]that[/i] exciting holding his attention, he cracked a small smile at JJ’s comments. He had mostly ignored whatever Jax and Spike were talking about. He caught the mention of Colin’s name, but he wasn’t listening well enough to know why they were mentioning his friend. Maybe it was about how Colin made Jax’s life a little difficult, or maybe it was about how Spice broke Colin’s nose. 

Who was to really say.

Hunter didn’t want to let on why he wasn’t feeling like himself. With all the years Ricky made him feel like shit, he became skilled in hiding it, so he could fake a smile for their sake. So he did. His grin carried him into a false excitement that unleashed an unprompted [color=sienna][b]“Woo!”[/b][/color] following JJ’s comments. [color=sienna]“Maybe you’ll finally get that pussy you want, Jay,”[/color] Hunter egged his friend on, teasing him with a shoulder nudge.

It was then that JJ couldn't help but stifle a laugh as he returned his attention to his cell phone. [color=#97ADBB]"Ight man, chill out,"[/color] He said, shaking his head. [color=#97ADBB]"Maybe I'm not tryna focus on that tonight. Maybe I'm just tryna have a good time with my [i]boyssss[/i]."[/color] Of course, anyone who knew JJ like 3 of the boys in that car did, knew he was definitely bullshitting. 

[color=CB8DEB]”Listen yo”[/color] Dee began as he stopped at a red light. [color=CB8DEB]”I may just be a humble motherfucker with a big ass dick and I ain’t all that humble but even I know the day Jay gets his hole is gonna have different type of energy mos def”[/color]

The giant then turned around for a second to look at the Knights mascot [color=CB8DEB]”Little man, you shake that chair again imma shove that helmet you wear up your ass sideways”[/color] He turned back to the road as the light turned green and carried on towards a side of town he definitely didn’t belong. The closer the car edged towards the Liberty half of town, the more anxious of a feeling began to permeate in Dee’s gut. He needed that fucking flask after Jax.

DeShawn placed his large hand on Jax’s chest in a hearty slap and motioned to the flask on his lip. [color=CB8DEB]”Get your taste on, young’un. Take that edge off, you with the Boys now. So who you got tonight fellas? I saw Spike getting his flirt on with that redhead first day back. Jayvo finally gonna make a move on someone that’s not from Palmsville?”[/color]

Jax simply looked down at the flask that was now in his hands. Nerves somewhat taking over his muscles as he debated if he really wanted to open it. He carefully removed the lid of the flask and raised it towards his nose. He didn’t even need to raise it all the way up before the whiff of alcohol reached his nostrils, causing the geeky guy to gag slightly and immediately return the lid back to the flask. [color=#F3FF18]”Oh god… No thank you”[/color] He sputtered out in between coughs. [color=#F3FF18]”Might try something a bit lighter at the party”[/color] He would then lift the flask and hold it out, ready for someone to take it off him.

Since Spike had enough prior to coming in this car, he’d let his boys get their drink on and instead innocently batted his eyes, addressing the driver, [color=228B22]“Damn, Dee, that’s gay. Don’t shove anything up my ass.”[/color] After leaning back, Spike felt his phone in his pocket, yet no vibration. No text from her. No call. No nothing. [color=228B22]“I’d be okay with any Liberty babe. They’re next level hot. Like JJ said, tonight’s gonna’ be a movie and I hope it’s the kind of movie where tits are out!”[/color] 

[color=#97ADBB]"I don't know about some of these Liberty chicks,"[/color] JJ said with a shrug of his shoulders as we reached his hand out in Jax's direction and took the flask in his own hands. [color=#97ADBB]"Yeah they're next level hot but they just seem so... [i]uppity[/i]. Most of em, anyway. I doubt you'll be able to charm any of them forreal... but maybe I'll get lucky anyway. I was thinkin' about trying to hit up that Miki girl. Or that one blonde girl I got Bio with... Olivia something."[/color] 

It was after JJ finished speaking that he finally took a quick sip from the flask he'd taken from Jax; The burn in his chest that came afterwards made him almost instantly regret it. [color=#97ADBB]"Shit, y'all know I don't drink like that. What the fuck is in here?"[/color] JJ said, disgust written all over his face. Regardless, the young man took another sip of the gross liquid before replacing the cap and tossing it into Hunter's lap (to which he took a hefty swig), figuring that he'd push through the bad tastes that night for the sake of having a little fun.

Glancing over to the boys next to him, Spike looked past Jay to his best friend. Something was off with Hunter but Spike wasn’t clever enough to pinpoint a reason. Not just today. He’s been off this whole week. Spike could be overthinking this, but he’d like to think he knew when his friend’s smile was fake as fuck. As per usual, Spike didn’t go into it. At least not now while they were with their friends. 


If Hunter and Spike had one thing in common, neither of them liked making people worry so one hid his problems with a smile and the other? Spike chose to never change. If he was always hyper, always talking about girls, and always being goofy, no one would ever suspect that he actually was worried and he knew tonight he wasn’t just going to get fucked up. He was likely going to get self destructive. Minty leaving triggered something he was pretty good at burying, so he knew, tonight was going to be stupid and not the good kind of stupid.  

[color=CB8DEB]”Miki...”[/color] DeShawn let his mind wander to try and place a face to the name. [color=CB8DEB]”Little Asian body? She be like the Liberty Queen from word I got from round the way. Good luck with that one Jayvo, little miss gonna eat you for breakfast with her caviar and champagne”[/color]

The influx of the rich, wealthy and beautiful had triggered complicated feelings for Dee. He didn’t trust easily and being born with a silver spoon in your mouth was not the best way to earn his trust. A big part of him wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt and another part of him wanted to rob them blind but this was not Baltimore anymore and he had turned over a new leaf, for the most part anyway.

He glanced back in his mirror to a silent Hunter and he was hit with a pang of worry. Quinn wasn’t normally this quiet on a ride to a party unless he was upset or perturbed by something. He had seen that dead look in his brothers eyes way too many times. Was he having issues with the old man again? Dee knew better than to ask and Hunter knew where the big man was if he needed it. It wouldn’t be the first time and he doubted it would be the last that Hunter dealt with some shit by himself.

[color=CB8DEB]”Shit, y’all’s need to be vibing; we nearly had fucking Rico in this car with us tonight”[/color] DeShawn quickly shifted the subject to add a little more levity. [color=CB8DEB]”Love the mad bastard but he been going on for days about some stuff he released on Spotify. Now I ain’t gonna lie, shit is tight but brother needs to cool his jets. Not everyone into that Camilla Cabello shit...though I mean, I would though ya feel me? That girl is fine”[/color]

[color=sienna]“That’s too bad about Rico, though. Probably would have been better off being on the other side of a car. Dude nearly got floored on the first day.”[/color] Hunter recalled seeing Rico — and his skateboard — nearly getting creamed and not in the way he imagined Suave Rico would prefer. [color=sienna]“And you’re right, Dee.”[/color] Hunter cracked a smile when Dee switched the topic rather swiftly to that curvaceous babe, Camila Cabello. [color=sienna]“I’m not into her music—”[/color] Not that Hunter would openly admit that he’s listened to Real Friends and Shameless a few times this week, [color=sienna]“—But man, that booty got enough real estate for a few dudes.”[/color] Hunter grinned and laughed, shifting his eyes on Spike. [color=sienna]“You’d tap that, right, Spike?”[/color]

[color=228B22]“Bruh,”[/color] Spike had dazed out momentarily the moment [i]Rico[/i] was brought up. Fuck that guy. But with the mention of booty, Spike was back to his daily schedule program and widely grinned, [color=228B22]“I’d make that booty feel like a temple. Sacred as fuck. Like, booty, booty, booty, booty rockin’ everywhere!”[/color] which reminded him of someone. Lightly punching Jay’s arm, Spike challenged him, [color=228B22]“That Liv girl got a nice ass, man! I bet I can touch it before you.”[/color]

[color=CB8DEB]”And on that note!”[/color] Dee instantly regretted starting this conversation. He was all for the taming of the ladies but shaming and objectifying was not something he agreed with and with newcomer Jax in the car he didn’t want to leave a bad first impression. He turned up the radio of the old Ford just as it pulled onto a new street that it had never driven before.

The houses were huge and majestic looking things and there was one at the far end of the long street, pulsating with neon lights; that was their destination, a McMansion soon to be impregnated with the Boys. [color=CB8DEB]”Motherfuck me we ain’t in Rosefell anymore”[/color] As a familiar song began to play over the speakers, DeShawn started to tap his fingers rhythmically on the steering wheel. [color=CB8DEB]”Aw yeah, you already know what it is”[/color]

On cue, the rest of the teens in the car began to bounce around like ping pong balls to the majestic beat of the Backstreet Boys classic; Everybody. The windows of the 4x4 rolled down with a Boy sticking their head out of each one, singing along at the top of their lungs. Tonight was the first step into a new world and the Boys were ready to blow that fucking world up, Rosefell style. Pulling up outside the neon mansion, the five young men piled out onto the street and stormed the party with smiles on their faces.

Tonight was gonna be a movie alright.[/center]
