A/n: So I was bored and decided to post another chapter... Make sure to comment. Constructive criticism is much appreciated :)

Chapter 3

I drove into the parking lot with my 2007 black Honda Civic. Sure it wasn't anything amazing, but I didn't complain. At least I had a car.

I decided to stay with Austin instead of going back home. I wasn't really ready to face my mom. We walked into the ginormous bowling arena. There were multi-colored lights flashing everywhere and music on at full blast. Shockingly, there weren't many people in the lanes.

Austin set up the game while he waited for Keaton. I sat on one of the seats where they would be playing and took out my Night World book once again, determined to finish it tonight. I was so absorbed in my book that I hadn't realized Keaton already arrived.

"That's my sister," said Austin, smiling and pointing at me.

"Hey. What's up?" said Keaton, while shaking my hand. His hair was disheveled as if he had just woken up, and his eyes were a light blue-grey color.

"Nothing much," I replied with a smile.

They went ahead and started their game. I got absorbed back into my book when someone said, "So what book are you reading?"

I got annoyed. "The Chosen. It's part of the Night World series as you can clearly see," I said tightly while putting my book down to see who would ask such a stupid question. The title was clearly visible.

I was met with a brown-haired grey-eyed guy that looked about my age. He had a hat on backwards that said 'Inspire' and rosy cheeks. He looked oddly familiar. I didn't even notice that he was sitting a few inches next to me.

"Whoa. Calm down, girl. It was just a question," he said while backing his arms away. He had some sort of odd accent that I couldn't really figure out.

"Whatever." I tried getting back to my book.

"My names Wesley, but you can call me Wes."

"I'm Chloe. Now that we've introduced ourselves, can I ask why you are here and talking to me, Wesley?" I said roughly.

"I'm Keaton's brother." Oh, I thought. Now I kind of felt bad. Keaton seemed nice, so I probably shouldn't have yelled at his brother…oops my mistake. "And you're Austin's sister right?"

"Yup," I said a little softer, ashamed of my behavior. I opened my book once again.

"Are you seriously planning on reading when you're at a place like this?"

"Yeah. Is there something wrong with that?" I asked, feeling a little embarrassed.

"No." He shook his head. "But normal people would actually bowl instead of sitting around."

"Are you calling me abnormal?" I asked.

"No… not at all," he replied sarcastically, obviously challenging me. I slammed my book shut and stood up to set up a game. Wesley followed behind me, laughing.

"Feisty. I like it," he said in an undertone. I don't know why, but that comment got me really upset. It was my turn for the first frame, and I was steaming. I rolled the ball and got a strike. I turned around and smiled mockingly at Wesley. He looked a little shocked.

After the ten frames were up, we added up the scores, and I won. "See," I said to Wesley. "I know how to have fun."

"I let you win," he said smugly.

"Yeah right. You're just a sore loser," I said while sticking out my tongue.

After Austin and Keaton finished their second game, we ordered a pizza from the snack bar. Keaton, Wesley, and Austin were talking about some band while I just sat there awkwardly. Apparently, the band was going to play at one of the clubs this weekend. It was sold-out.

"What band are you talking about?" I asked.

"Emblem3," replied Keaton.

"Oh. You guys are into that band too?!" I asked amazed.

Keaton and Wesley smirked. "They are that band," said Austin.

Realization hit me. How could I have been so oblivious? Drew was in a band with these two. I'd seen them all around school, but never really knew their names.

"Oh," I said while blushing out of embarrassment.

"So who's your favorite member?" asked Wesley. "I bet it's me." He smiled a cute smile with a small trace of dimples on his cheeks.

"Dude. It's me," said Keaton while doing the infamous model pose. "Right?"

"How did you know?" I said to Keaton. I had to lie obviously. I would never reveal my love for Drew. Ever.
"All the girls do." He flashed a smile while doing a boy nod. He really was cute for a little kid.

Wesley faked being offended. "How could you turn down all this?" He said while pointing to his body. He was way too cocky for my liking.

"Easy," I said. "Come on Austin." We made our way towards the exit. While we walked out, I heard Keaton laugh.

While driving home, Austin said "So you had fun today, didn't you?" He wiggled his eyebrows up and down.

"Fun? With that annoying Wesley? Is that your definition of fun?" He just laughed.

The truth is, tonight was the most fun I'd had all my life. I'd always been school-oriented and never learned to live. Even though Wesley was really cocky and annoying as hell, I enjoyed myself.
