Chapter 1
Freddy's POV
Freddy Jones hopped off his skateboard as he reached the curb in front of his house. Wrapping his jacket more tightly around him to protect him from the chilly fall air, he picked up his board and walked up the steps to his house. He had just gotten back from one of his best friend's, Frankie, houses. He'd been best friends with Frankie since the fourth grade and now, in their second year of high-school, had earned the reputation of the bad boys on campus. With his other best friend, Zack, they pretty much ruled the lower grades of the school. Every girl wanted them and every guy wanted to be them.
"Glad I got to spend some time alone with just the guys tonight," he thought as he walked up the stairs to his huge room in the attic. Lately he'd felt like a fifth wheel whenever he hung out with Zack and Frankie. They both had steady girlfriends, Claire and Anna, and recently had started doing everything with them. Sometimes he'd bring his closest girl friend, Katie, along whenever they did stuff just so he would have someone to talk to. Everyone thought he should admit to his supposed hidden feelings for Katie and just hook up with her. Problem was he honestly didn't like her that way. He never had. Sure he loved her but it was definitely a friendship kind of love. They'd fooled around a bit before but never seriously and they both knew where their boundaries were.
What Freddy didn't know was that Katie loved Freddy too. Except her love was in a romantic sort of way. Ever since seventh grade she had wanted something more than friendship from him. They'd considered going out in eighth grade but had quickly given up the idea after a week when Freddy realised he was fooling himself into thinking he liked her that way just to have a girl. Since then he'd had plenty of flings with other girls just because he was bored and they all thought he was hot (something about being a drummer in the school's most kick-ass band probably had a lot to do with it...) but he had never had one long-term meaningful relationship that both his best friends were lucky enough to be experiencing right now. It wasn't a lack of commitment on Freddy's part. He had simply never liked any enough to pursue a relationship with them. There had never been a special connection to anyone that he knew he was supposed to feel if it was right.
Freddy pulled off his shirt and his pants so he was dressed in only his boxer shorts that had drumsticks and music notes all over them. He rolled onto his bed and was lying on his back staring calmly at the ceiling when his cell rang. Leaning over to pick it up he saw the caller was Zack.
"What's up man?" came from the other end of the phone when Freddy finally picked up.
"Nothing much here. What do you want though? I just saw you 15 minutes ago."
"Well something's come up since then. I was talking to Claire and she was saying how she noticed you'd been feeling kind of left out lately. So, she's got an idea."
"And this idea would be..."
"She wants you to hang out with us more so you guys can get to know each other better. Well we can hang out with the rest of the gang if you don't want to be all fifth wheel-ish but the point is to become friends."
"Yea I guess that sounds okay... but it better be with the gang cuz I'm sick of always being the odd one out."
"Okay fair enough. So you want to hang out with us tomorrow night?"
"Sure. We can hang here. My parents will be out all night. How many people though?"
"Um... you, me, Claire, Frankie, Anna, Leonard I guess. I think that's it. Oh Claire said something about a couple of her friends starting to feel left out since our relationship's gotten so serious. I forget their names but there's two of them. Mind if they come too?"
"Eight people? I guess that'll be alright. But it's BYOB."
"Deal. Thanks a lot dude. She was sounding pretty concerned about our friends starting to feel left out. I was getting scared was going to take drastic measures."
"No worries. I got your back. So I'll see you guys at 8pm tomorrow then?"
"For sure. Later."
"Bye."
As Freddy turned off his cell for the night he lay back on his bed. What had he gotten himself into now?! Claire and Anna were nice enough but they weren't exactly the type of person he'd choose to be friends with. They weren't into the whole punk rock scene or even sports. Hopefully their friends would be cooler than them. He'd just have to wait until tomorrow and see what they're like. With that thought in his head he drifted off into a deep sleep after his long hard day of rocking.
