Chapter 1
" Ahhhh. Two hours of driving and we FINALLY beat all this damn traffic, man," sighed Gerald, as he and Arnold gathered their things out the first truck.
" I feel you, my guy. Shiid I didn't think we'd make it across the bridge on only $5 worth of gas!" chuckled Arnold.
Arnold and Gerald had been working hard and saving up their money to get their trucks. Half a semester of saving, slaving, and straight up hustling got them two all black 03 chevy trailblazers. Not really good on gas, but they didn't mind.
They came home from college with summer jobs awaiting them at the pool as lifeguards. This and the fact that Grandpa and Grandma left Arnold and Gerald the boarding house for the summer while they went on a three month trip thru europe. Of course, partially paid by Arnold as their 60th anniversary present. With them gone and most of them old tenants moved into a newer building ran by Cousin Arnie, the summer was theirs.
After getting all their stuff settled in, Gerald flopped down on the couch and pulled out his phone.
"So what's the move tonight man?" Gerald said checking his texts and twitter.
" Nothing really right now. I don't think there's anything to do besides go to Rhonda's kickback." Arnold said as he came in the living room. He ran his hand thru his hair and got his phone out his pocket.
" You tryna slide thru her place? Get a couple drinks and smoke a little," he said. As he checked his phone for the time and answer a couple texts, he took a couple selfies. Not the same football headed fourth grader anymore, Arnold grew into quite the ladykiller. 6'2, slightly muscular, along with a head full of blond hair, a couple tattoos and some gauges he was gorgeous. Gerald too, had gotten very handsome. He was a little taller at 6'4 but strongly resembled Jamie O in some ways. Only difference was he had an arm and leg sleeve of tattoos.
" Yeah why not," yawned Gerald as he got up to go upstairs. " Maybe my baby Phoebe will be there" he grinned.
" Ahaaa your baby? Yeah right, if she even looks in your direction tonight." laughed Arnold.
" What that mean?!"
" You can't claim somebody that doesn't know you even like em man" said Arnold. He went into the kitchen to make some pasta real quick for them to eat before the kickback.
"She knows wassup!"
Arnold rolled his eyes and laughed even harder. "I hope tonight you can gather up all this boldness you have now to ask her on a date."
"Yeah Yeah Yeah," Gerald mumbled as he smacked Arnold and went upstairs . " Let's hope you do the same when you see LLLIIILLLAAAAA!" Arnold blushed. He didn't mentioned to Gerald that Lila was gonna be there. He must have been looking at her tweets or something, he thought as he got a bowl to eat his pasta. He didn't care tho. He knew he was good to go. But will she say yes this time?
