A flying artist Chapter 3: the partey part 2
"Soooo...you're okay, Brooke? You do not seem especially amused."
She sighs deep. "Let rather not talk about it, please."
my hands are going to be sweaty. god I said only one sentence and i'm nervous as hell.
"Aye you're the captain. Should I get you a drink?"
"Uhmm yeah, that would be great. What are you drinking? Is it good?" "Do you know shandy?"
"Noo, what is that?" She looks a little confused. "It's beer mixed with lemonade. why no one knows it? I even had to tell the barkeeper what it is. The lemonande covers well the bitter taste of the beer. I think it is tasty."
"Mind if I try it?" "Why not, cheers." I smiled at her and handed her my cup. She took and sniffed it.
"Mhmm smells nice. If it tastes as good as it smells it's mine." She took a sip waited a bit and emptied the cup in one go.
"Hehe, I conclude it is good?" "Oh yeah it's quite good."
"Good good." "Could you bring us 2 new drinks we go out and talk a bit?"
"Sure why not. I hope it does not take too long." "it's okay i'll wait for you" I gave her a slight smile. "I'll be right back."
When I went to the bar again I looked back at her. She had put her hands in her lap and leaned back her head against the wall. She looks a lot relaxed as before some minutes. That's good, I don't like to see anyone so depressed.
I reached the bar and waited to be noticed. "Ah hey you again so fast, huh." Wow that was fast again. I could get used to it. "Oh yeah my uhmm...friend drank everything. Now should I get 2 new for us." "Uhu, your friend. Just a minute" "There it is. And have fun with your 'friend' "
"Uhmm thanks. see you later maybe." Wow is that obvious?
I went back to Brooke. She had risen and seems to be waiting for me. When she saw me she smiled at me and walked towards me. "That was fast, good. Let's get out of here." "Aye, my lady." She stopped and looked at me confused. Oh god that was stupid, Daniel. "Sorry, I did not mean it like that." "Noo Daniel it was ... nice, but unexpected." "Well then, before I forget. Your drink." I offered her a cup. As she took it our hands touched slightly. They were warm and smooth. Luckily are at the party the lights flickering like in a disco that she could not see the blush in my face.
"Lead the way, Brooke." "Don't lose me." We walked across the party and entered the cloakroom.
"Oh Daniel you're leaving so early?" asked me Stella. "Noo. I just go outside with Brooke for a short conversation. We will be back soon. Or aren't we?" I looked questioningly at Brooke. ohh god another facepalm moment i said 'we' . I must sound like a wierdo...
"let's see, maybe yes maybe not. Let's go Daniel." Brooke took my left hand and pulled me out. "see you then, Stella." Stella smiled at me and mouthed at me 'good luck'.
What happened to Brooke. Just several moments ago she looked so down and now she is like a different person.
"Let's sit on the wall there." Brooke pointing to the wall at the parking lot. "Sure." "Heeeey Brooke, come here and give me a kissh!" What the hell. Who? I turned around to see Warren walks on us. Really Warren, why don't you just go to your dorm and sleep... I feel that Brooke is holding my hand tighter. It seems obvious that she wasn't happy to see him. "Hey Daniel what are you doin with my girl?" Really Warren? your girl. "Warren please do as i said, go and sleep a bit this would be the best for you." "I do what I want! And I want to get a kiss from Brooke." He stepped closer to us. "God Warren, don't you think you have done enough shit for today." said Brooke angry.
"What?! YOU kicked me out of the party." "Yes and that with a good reason you know it." "Nah forget it. It's okay now and come with me." "No I like to stay with Daniel now. Get that into your pighead." "What did you called me?! You..." He stepped closer again. Too close for my opinion. I took a deep breath. "Warren as your friend I advise you to leave her alone and go to sleep please." "You are not my father!" "And that's probably better that way, Warren. Just go and leave us alone." "Why the fuck should I?" I closed my eyes sighed and opened them again. He can be such a stubborn when he is drunk, but i didn't have seen him so drunk like right now. Well i should give him a message and hope that he will get it.
I turned to Brooke. "Could you please keep my cup?" "Uhm, yea. Don't hurt him he doesn't know what he is doing." "Hell noo, in contrast to him I have myself under control." I stepped in front of him lifted my left arm and let my hand drop with some force on his shoulder and pressed a bit. "Ouch!"
I may be a bit fat, but not all of this is fat. I'm a lot stronger than he is. He had to find it out several times. I beated him every time on arm wrestling and other things. "Warren, I tell you only once, okay? Leave the party go to your dorm and sleep it off. You'll thank me." I stare into his eyes and waiting for a response. I see his expression changing from angry to ruminative to cowed. "Fine, go and fuck yourself, bitch!" He hissed and wriggled out of my grasp and rushed away.
Phew, that went better than expected. I sigh and let my shoulders drop relaxed. One moment I thought he tried to fight me.
"Wow Daniel, that was ... impressive. I never thought you could be so intimidating. I got goose bumps!" "Stop it. I needed to do that. As you said he doesn't know what he's doing. I never have seen him so drunk before. I hate it to show this site especially agianst him." "I do not want to imagine what would have happened to me if you wasn't around. Thank you, Dan." Brooke stepped on my side handed me my cup back put her now free hand on my shoulder and kissed me on my cheek. "Let's continue what we started and sit on the wall."
I feel my face heaten up from the massive blush that builds up. oh my god did she kissed me?! Wow I'm speechless. I take a large gulp out of my cup and let it flow down my dry throat. A lot of other students where outsite at this time some of them where smoking or doing other things. I was the last minutes on a tunnel vision, but now I feel the gazes of them on me. Some of them looked surprised and others were smirking on me. They all never saw there shy fat Argentine like that. "Okay." Was the only one which I was able to say.
We walked towards the parking lot and sat on the wall. I lay down and rest my head on the lawn closed my eyes and sigh. "Are you okay Daniel?" "Hmm, yeah I'm fine just a bit exhausted." "Thanks again Daniel. I was a bit frightened of him. I just will let you know that I'm done with Warren. Whenever we did something together He has always spoken about Max. Max here, Max there. god I was so blind." "Nah, don't judge yourself too hard. We are young, that happens. Just forget it and relax." "Yeah that was enough stress for today."
I hear that she is laying down too she shifted herself a bit in my direction that our upper arms toched slightly. Wow she is so cute. How could Warren screw up with her? "One left to say. Warren is much more blind, it is kind of clearly that Max is gay and attracted to Chloe. She friendzoned him so hard that it must hurt." "Definitely. And he zoned me to be his backup girl. He had no idea how much he hurt me with that what an idiot."
"It simply does not care him how his fellow men feel about his actions, but enought about him. Uhmm..." Should I ask her...I do not know whether she want. Fuck it I'll do it. More as say no she can't.
"Uhmm... Brooke?" "Yeah?" Keep yourself together Daniel, everything is fine... or not. There is nothing to be nervous about it's just your crush since you are here... *irony off* "Would you like to...come with me to the Portland art museum this weekend? There is a Miyasaki exhibition this month." "Really?" Oh dog how can I think that someone like Brooke will go out with me. I'm so stupid... "That would be great. I'm such a fangirl of his work! Do you really want me to come with you?" "I would have asked, if I don't want it?" "Awww you are awesome!" She squealed and hugged me. "Wohar Brooke calm down. It's just me, haha." "Come on Daniel. You are awesome in your personal way, which I like by the way."
She gets up smiled at me and held out her hand to help me up. "Let's go back to the party, my cup is empty." I looked into my own cup and saw that it was half full. I put it to my mouth and emptied it. "I would say mine too. Let's go." I took her hand and get up. Then we walked back to the party, as we walked through the cloakroom Stella smirked at us.
We went to the Bar get some new drinks and stayed at the bar and small talked a bit. Wow she is so much happier now after she settle up with Warren. And the alcohol doing his thing to.
How the time flies when you are talking with someone nice. "Soo you're a metalhead. Then what's your favourite band?" "Phew! Uhm definitely 'Blind Guardian' do you know them?" "Not really." "They are a german power metal band. Did you played Sacred 2?" "Yes, is already a few years ago." "Then I guess you listen to the concert of the ingame band?" "Uhm yes. Wait, do you want to say that this was Blind Gaurdian?" "Jep, they cooperated with the developer." "Wow you need to show me sometime soon your favorite songs" "Sure why not."
At some distance I hear some trouble. What is that now? And then i saw it a really angry Chloe Price rolled through the crowd and it looks like she is looking for someone. Wait what?! Is that a gun? Wohar, what the hell want she with that? She rushed past us and entered the door to the WC. "She's confusing." "Yep Dan. Did you saw the gun in her hand? That creeped me out." "Let's hope she doesn't do something stupid with that. Do you want to try a tropical kiss?" "What?!" As far as I could tell by the lights she was blushing. "not what you think, Brooke. It's a short consisting of 50% vodka, 20% mango juice, 20% pineapple juice and 10% cream." "What do you think what I have thought?" "Uhm... nothing. haha." She poked my shoulder. "That sounds yummy. Let's try it."
After we got our shorts she sniffed at it. "Are you sure that there is alcohol in it?" "That's why I like them. You don't smell or taste the alcohol."
Then Max came into my view and she walked towards us. "Hello, Brooke." "Max, I didn't expect to see you at a Vortex Club party." "I didn't expect that either, but I really need to find Nathan. Have you..." "No, I haven't seen him. And I'm not looking for him. So i most likley won't tonight. I just hate that scrub... and his club." "You are not the only one. Maybe this party will be the end of the Vortex Club." "Then I don't have to pretend like I care anymore." "Have you seen Warren tonight?" "Unfortunately yes, bad topic today. Abridged version for you I'm done with him. And now I'm talking with Daniel." "Oh okay." "He asked me to go with him to the Portland art museum this weekend." "Oh that is so sweet. I bet Daniel will be a great museum guide." "I'm more into sience than art, but what kind of selfish fangirl would miss a Miyasaki exhibition." "You're not selfish, Brooke. You just trying to life your life without all this bullshit. Like all of us here." "You seem so wise ... and kind of invincible this week. i think that snow and eclipse gave you superpowers. Check to see if you can fly."
I need to laugh a bit at her comment.
"I don't think superpowers would make my life easier. With great power comes great bullshit." "I don't know. It would be pretty kick-ass to battle super-villians over Arcadia Bay." "Well the night is still young, Brooke." "And so are we, Max. So let's plan a drone date next week." "Sure that would be awesome. See you then Brooke. And Hi Daniel." "Yes! Max makes an entrance. I only came to the party because of you."
"I'm glad to see you out and about. By the way, have you seen Nathan Prescott tonight?" "No I've been hanging with Brooke since i got here. Max are you okay? Your face looks so ... serious." "Oh. It's nothing. Just residue from all the Blackwell drama." "It seems like it never ends, huh." "This is where it's going to end ... for Rachel's sake." "Oh, Max. You need a Blackwell break. I'm taking Brooke to a Miyasaki show in Portland. If you want to come along. The more the merrier." "Thank's Daniel. I have to stay on my mission, now. I hope you stay on yours and become a great artist." "We'll be celebrating someday in a museum Max. With Brooke I'll be the flying artist. See yah Max." "Bye, Daniel."
I looked at Brooke and she smiled at me toothy. "With me you'll be the flying artist. how should I understand this?" "Uhm I think with your drone we can create super awesome art togehter, is not it?" "Hmm... yeah that could work." "As i said." I took out my cell phone out of my pocket too look at the time and see that it is near midnight. "God I think I'm going back to my dorm and sleep a bit until the classes start tomorrow, if you excuse me." "Wait Daniel. I'm going with you. I'm tired too. Let's go together." "Sure."
As we walked to the exit Mr. Jefferson began to announce the winner of the Everyday Heroes contest. "And the winner is... oh what a suprise Victoria Chase."
"Oh yeah what a suprise." I murmured. And then Brooke yelled through the crowd "VICTORIA YOU SUCK!" Then she giggled took my hand and began to ran to the exit. We entered the cloakroom. I took my jacket from Stella and joined Brooke outside. "Come on slowpoke." She held out her hand and i took it. Then we walked slowly to our dorms our fingers were intervened. god she is so cute right now. good that she is over Warren.
We reached the dorms faster than I would like. At the entrance she released my hand hugged me and snuggled her head in my shoulder. I hugged her back and we stood so for a few moments then she lifted her head and gave me another kiss on my cheek. "Today was awesome. Thank you. Sleep well, Daniel. Let's meet tomorrow to plan our museum tour, okay?" "After our last class in the courtyard?" "Definitely! Bye." She entered the dormitory and I took a deep breath.
WoW, Daniel, that was the best day since I do not know. I entered the boys dormitory went into my room and kicked off my shoes. I sat on my bet took of my jacket, t-shirt and jeans let them lie on the ground. I'm too tired to clear away. I lay down in my bed and threw the blanket over me and drifted fast into a deep slumber...
