Trace the Nine Pictures
Chapter 2
As Ace and Trey walked up the driveway to Queen's house, they noticed that she was standing outside leaning against the front door. She glared at them before speaking.
"It took you two long enough," she growled.
"Queen, seriously? Why are you even freaking out Trey and I are only and hour late," Ace said.
"You still could have managed to show up on time Ace! You'd think that you could, I don't know show up on time considering that you are the leader and everything."
"This is just a party Queen, it's like not we have to go on a mission!"
"Oh yeah, speaking of mission. Are you going to be late to the mission in a couple days or are you just not going to show up?"
"Okay! That's enough," Trey finally found his breath. He could hardly take seeing his boyfriend and the class president battle it out. He waited until they both calmed down and turned their attention towards him. He sighed and finally spoke, "Queen, I agree that maybe we should have been a little more on time," he saw she was about to speak in triumph. "However, I do agree with Ace as you are making this a way bigger deal than it is. So why don't we just go inside and have a good time?"
When neither Queen nor Ace said anything, Trey rolled his eyes and said, "Well?" Queen and Ace looked at each other and felt their faces relax. "Fine," the two friends said in unison.
Queen opened the door and stepped aside to let the couple in. Trey put his hand on the small of Ace's back and guided him inside. Queen's place was pretty nice. It had nice furniture everywhere and a huge chandelier that hung right in the middle of the foyer. Music was blasting from what seemed to be every corner and as Ace looked around, he could see his fellow classmates just hanging out and having a good time. Ace and Trey walked over to a wall where they saw Sice sitting standing by herself. Ace felt a twinge of sadness because he was the only one that knew about her feelings for Seven.
Ace turned to Trey and spoke in his ear, "Hey could you go get us some drinks? I'm going to go talk to Sice she looks a little down." Trey nodded a silent okay to Ace, gave a quick peck on the lips and headed towards the kitchen. Sice looked up and smiled as she saw Ace approaching her. Ace could easily tell that she was putting up a façade because she wasn't smiling in the adorable way that she does when she's genuinely happy.
"Hey what's up?" Ace said.
"Not much I guess, I'm just thinking," Sice replied
"It's about Seven isn't it?"
"How did you know?"
"Because, the smile you just gave me was no where near close to the ones you give her."
"Well, I don't know what to do Ace. I like her a lot. I'm just no sure if she feels the same way. And I see the way she acts around Nine, even though she claims to be bi."
"Sice, you'll never know until you ask her out. The worse that can happen is she could reject you. But even if that happens, you move on." Sice lowered her head and looked at the ground.
"I guess you're right Ace." Ace winked at her.
"I usually am." From there, Ace and Sice just resumed normal conversation.
While Sice and Ace were chatting over by a wall, Nine had noticed Ace in a new light. All Nine knew is that he wanted Ace, badly. Nine, and all his gorgeous, six foot, and ripped body decided to go talk to Ace. As Nine approached the two, Sice looked up, faked a smile and said, "Having a good time tonight Nine?" Lucky for her Nine wasn't bright enough to catch her faking the smile.
"Eh, it's the usual I guess. Hey Ace," Nine said as he gave Ace a killer, sexy smile.
Ace rolled his eyes at the obvious pass but responded kindly, "Hi Nine, enjoying your night?"
Sice saw Seven sitting alone, and immediately ran off to go talk to her. Ace saw this and called out after her, "Remember what I said!" Sice turned around and smiled at him, There was that genuine smile again. Nine, noticing that he was not being talked to spoke up, "Yeah I'm enjoying my night, more now that I'm talking to you."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Ace asked in confusion.
"Are you kidding me Ace? I want you." Ace shook his head in disbelief.
"Is it really your goal to get anyone you want Nine? I'm with Trey and I only have eyes for him."
"I can easily change that, you just wait and see."
"Is everything okay here," Trey said as he walked up to Ace, pecked him on the cheek and gave him a cup full of what seemed to be punch. "Sorry I took so long babe, I was talking to Queen about the class we have together."
" Don't worry about it," Ace said turning to Trey and smiling. "Yeah everything is fine. Nine and I were just talking. I'm pretty sure we're done now though. So let's go dance or something."
"Okay."
Ace and Trey left Nine standing alone by the wall. For the first time in a while Nine felt hurt for being rejected by Ace. Then and there, Nine vowed that no matter what he would have Ace. Nine always got what he wanted.
