The final bell struck in a beautiful harmonious tone. Smiles cracked and everyone left their final classes. It was only nearing noon, such an over exaggerated day it had seem. The gang was to meet by Lars' car if they wanted to go home, but they could just grab their boards and jet if they would rather do that. Twister, Sam, and Otto retrieved their boards and took off for the pier.

Slowly down the hallway Lars went off to his car, "Hi Lars," Catie chimed walking next to the cheerleader from earlier.

"Hi Catie," He replied turning his head towards her. Fear catapulted into her heart. This was not a normal boy, "What's up?"

"Er… well nothing, I just wanted to talk to you." She began to blush slightly.

"Yeah? What about."

"Do you like Reggie? The girls didn't tell me to ask I just, well wanted to know." A smile creaked onto her face.

"A little I suppose, but I know Otto's not down with me so I wouldn't try anything with their family I hold them at high regards and show my respect." Lars replied without hesitation to her odd question.

"Oh, why do you hold so much respect for them?"

"I've known their family for close to fourteen years and their mom helped me with a lot, my English was very poor when I came here and she helped me a lot, and I was always really shy she helped me over that. Then when their mother passed away I stopped talking to their family mostly and came extremely secluded." He rubbed the back of his neck and smiled a little.

"But you are pretty much best friends with Reggie." She said with a questioning look in her eyes.

"Over the last month or so we've gotten really close she's helped me so much with everything." Looking up he saw Reggie standing a few paces away at a locker, just toying with the lock.

"I'm off now, I'll see you tomorrow." She said leaving for the door.

"Hey Reg." Lars said to her.

"Hi." She murmured turning towards him.

"Come on." He said holding out his hand for her to take. Slowly she grabbed his hand unsure of what he was doing. His fingers were laced with hers as they left the school heading to his car. Reggie smiled at him and wandered to his car.

"Where are we going?" She asked stepping inside the car. Lars had opened the door for her grinning. He had been tempted to say something corny but kept it to himself chuckling a little.

"I haven't really decided maybe just on a hike, you want to eat first?"

"I, well yeah. I can't hike in these shoes, or this skirt."

"Hang on." Lars replied as he went to the trunk. Finally he had conjured a pair of shorts and shoes. "Here," He said handing them over. "The shorts are mine, and the shoes are Cleo's she left them in my car about two months ago when she stayed down here."

"Thanks." Pulling on the shorts and slipping on the shoes she peered over at Lars. "Hey, don't look!"

"I'm not, I wasn't." He replied without turning his, he stared out the window at the cars in the parking lot. Finally, she had tossed her skirt and shoes on the back seat, "You ready?" He questioned without turning his head back.

"Mhm, thank you."

"Alright, let's jet." He said starting the ignition. "We eating first?" He asked as he pulled to the end of the parking lot.

"What about McDonalds?" She asked thinking of the one just down the road.

"Yeah, that's fine." He replied giving her a smile. His car disappeared down the road and pulled into a McDonalds. They slipped inside smelling the grease and fat, it tempted their nostrils and burned their throats that were aching for the perturbing goodness. The cashier asked what they had wanted, quickly responding.

"A big mac and a medium fry." Lars said first.

"A double cheese burger and two medium fries." Reggie replied next.

"Alright, four dollars." The cashier replied, Lars handed over the money. Quietly they waited aside; this was what seemed to be an awkward moment for him but not for Reggie. Her eyes seemed to lie about the excitement she experienced when they had left the parking lot, and they lied now about wanting to be here, with him. The food came and without hesitance Lars grabbed it and headed to the car. 'The Drive-thru would've been easier', He thought quietly to himself. Still he was glad he could be with Reggie and be near her. The tunes were cranked in his ninety-six Trans Am and the t-tops were off. The aroma of sweet flowers sailed slowly into the car and it stung their noses. Quickly they ate ready to go, ready to leave. Lars tossed his wrappers in the backseat, he'd get it later. Now they headed for the mountain he wished to take her to as she finished her fries. The scenery was gorgeous, totally not what she was used to, except when she looked at the house across the street and saw Twister mowing the lawn or sitting on his roof. Twister was really gorgeous, so was Lars. Why was she here, torturing both brothers' in a way. This wasn't like her.

"Hey Otto I've got to go clean my room, mom's tweaking on me, Lars can't really cover for me with that one." Twister said looking at the gate to enter or leave MadTown.

"Alright, bro. I'll catch you later." Quickly they did their 'best bro' handshake and off Twister went heading in the direction of his home, but turning a street to early, purposefully.

"Pi, Sputz. Where's Animal?" Twister said reaching a bronze colored house with a somewhat decent looking yard. Two boys sat there laughing hysterically at a joke one had told.

"He's holding he'll be here soon. Isn't Lars going to kill you, kill us?" Pi asked ruffling his own short hair a little.

"Nah, he's straight I already talked to him about it."

"YO, Animal!" Sputz hollered as he saw the stout boy approaching.

"Hey boys. Twist?" He said with a raised eyebrow.

"He's cool." Pi said laughing a little. Him saying Twist was cool was amusing to everyone, he hadn't meant it in a literal sense, just to say he's safe.

"Alright boys, best shit I could get from the dealer." He said a bag full of green 'leaves' on the ground.

"I'll be back." Pi said disappearing into his house. He checked everyone room, everyone was gone, good. "Clear!" He howled from his own room where a bong was conveniently placed under his bed. Animal and Sputz walked into the house, Twist following close behind, he'd only been here once to pick them up with his brother and that was probably two years ago. Animal sat next to Pi's bed, Sputz next to him and Pi lying on the ground. Twister filled in the gap between Pi and Animal.

Quickly Animal stuffed the bong full, "Can anyone roll?" He asked thinking a joint could be some fun too.

"I've seen Lars do it, I can try." Twister said. Animal passed over weed and rolling papers. Twist did his best effort and it wasn't horrible, definitely smoke able.

"We smoking this first?" Twist asked eyeing it with impatience.

"Sure boy." Pi tossed him a lighter. The joint rested between his teeth, he drew his breath and lit it. Taking a long drawl he passed it on to Pi. His veins were laced with THC and he couldn't help but smile. Why was he betraying his brother, he wasn't even sure. The second time he took two decent puffs and passed like he'd seen the other boys do, actually Animal had taken a long drawl too, and he supposed it didn't matter.

Feeling light headed already, he took his third round hit. It was gone when the fourth round came. Now came the bong. The delicate blue bong that looked so irresistible. Sputz started this time inhaling the bitter sweet taste. Pi hit it next, then Twister. The taste filled his mouth and he started cracking up. Here was the high the sugary high. Passing it to Animal he realized there was music on, how it ended up on he didn't remember.

The other three boys were hardly feeling the buzz but Twister was completely high already. Still he continued seven more rounds, his head now pulsating with the high and he laughed and giggled like a little boy. The other boys were now laughing at everything, the bong was done and sitting under Pi's bed.

Continuously they talked and laughed, that's when Pi's sister opened the front door. The boys snuck out the window with Pi in their toll. Twister grabbed his board before stumbling onto the bare, cold, cement. Now he'd be fucked he couldn't even walk straight and definitely couldn't ride a board.

"Fuck Sputz, call Fred have him come get us." Pi said and laughed again. Fred apparently was their 'designated Dave'. The numbers dialed on the phone, Sputz and Fred talked for two or three minutes and he was on his way. Sitting on the curb for about five minutes and there was an Al Camino pulling up, that must be Fred.

They all clamored into his car. "Who is the recruit?" He asked eyeing Twister.

"Twister Rodriguez." Pi said laughing a little.

"You dropped Lars for his little brother?" Fred asked. The boys hair was all over, he somewhat remembered seeing him at school that day.

"No, man he wanted some weed and Lars is done 'cause of the little Reggie Rocket." Sputz said almost completely serious, but he laughed.

"Reggie, that babe? What's she want with Lars." Fred laughed a little.

"Reggie is a babe she's like my fucking sister though." He laughed a little thinking of his main man Otto.

"Let's fucking go man!" Animal cried laughing a little too hard. Jimi Hendrix was playing in the background and no one could sing the words but they tried anyways.

"Dude fuck drop me at MadTown." Twister said seeing the park, he knew Otto was still there.

Fred stopped and out went Twister staggering a little to get to the park. "Hey O-Man, I'm back!" Otto gave him a concerned look as if he knew something was up.

"Hi Twist." Replying a little shyly, his best bud was higher then a fucking kite and he could tell from that glazed look in his eyes. "What are you doing to yourself?"

"I… uh nothing stupid we should get some grindage." Twister said looking towards the shack. Otto almost laughed, the munchies.

"Okay dude." He said. Twister staggered his way up the board walk.

"Fish taco, Ray!" He yelled walking in. What he wished was tossed his way. Otto just had fries.

They had made their way up the mountain laughing a little and talking about anything they could think of. A few times Lars has kissed her it always made her smile but she wasn't sure if she liked Lars anymore, actually, she knew she did but she didn't exactly want to. A pang hit Lars' stomach. Not just a normal hunger pang or getting punched, it was like a horrible thriving pang. He clutched at his stomach.

"We've got to go back," He said already turning and running down hill, it was Twist and he knew it.

Reggie looked at him wide eyed like a deer in headlights. "What is it?" She asked chasing after him. Lars literally was going twenty miles over the speed limit and wouldn't slow down until he got to Ocean Shores. He slowed down to thirty like the sign said. He parked his car and flew out.

"CONROY! Where is Twist?" He yelled speeding into MadTown.

"He just left with Otto to the shack." Conroy said looking at the boy with the same look Reggie had. Lars sprinted to the Shore Shack not even thinking of his lungs and the pain. Reggie was now close behind.

"Oh jeezus Twist!" Lars howled hugging his little brother. He looked okay except his glazed eyes.

"What is it kook?" Twist asked looking confused.

"You didn't." Lars hissed at his little brother, but he had. Looking at Otto he realized Otto was definitely fine and not high at all.

"Exactlyyyy." Twister said looking confused still.

"We're going home, now." Fury was hidden under a voiced filled with sadness slightly laced with hatred. He didn't let Twister speak at all he dragged his brother down the boardwalk into the car. Reggie stared in awe and confusion what exactly had happened.

Ray and Otto looked on as Lars' car disappeared they definitely were not heading up towards the cul-de-sac. Everyone was uncertain of where they were now off to.

"What happened?" Reggie asked with disdain in her voice.

"Twist got high, with who I don't know." He said thinking of losing his best bro to sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll. It was a horrible thought but he shook it from his head.

"Oh jeez, Lars is gunna whomp him." Reggie replied looking at her father and brother.
