A/N: I wonder how many chapters I'm going to end up putting in this story. Hmm…I kinda want to make a long story—but not sure if I can. My last story ended at chapter 15. Hm……….
I got REVIEWS! I FEEL SO COOL YOU GUYS. :D
Faintly, I heard 'Perfume and Pillows' start playing.
I'm guessing the auditorium was in the next room over? I don't know where I am—I'm lost. Why'd this building have to be so huge?
The GINORMOUS guy standing by the black double doors, when I got there, greeted me. I just smiled and then pushed the doors open. The music was louder now that I was in the auditorium. There he was. I grinned and then started moving through the crowd. There were tons of kids there (around my age). I even saw some people that I went to school with, they said hi to me and stuff but I didn't stay and chat—I was trying to get to the front of the crowd.
Finally, I was at the front. Geeze, there's so many people in here—it's quite stuffy and friggin HOT. I had on my black (with really thin white vertical stripes) light jacket on over my hot topic shirt and a pair of Dickies. I wore my 'HUG ME OR I SHALL DISTROY YOU' shirt—I got tons of hugs the day I wore this to school. Heh.
After about six minutes he finally saw me. Sora grinned—I think he was surprised to see me there.
Yes, I blew off my 'interview thingie' with Gepetto and came to the show. Fred wouldn't let me reschedule the meeting. Whatever, I'll just get a job when I turn 16. Screw them—my best friend is WAY more important than my job. Right? Or am I a huge idiot and should now run back to Gepetto's workshop and see if I can still make if for the appointment?
I knew you'd agree with the decision I made.
Right after finishing their slower song they went right onto their next one. I can't remember the name of this song but it was awesome. Maybe it was their new one that I hadn't heard yet. Hm..but anyway it ROCKED. THEY rocked.
Oh yeah—after they were finished, another band came on and then I realized it was a 'BATTLE OF THE BANDS' thing. There really was no competition though—Scotch taped hearts WON! (obviously)
After leaving the show, we all went to celebrate at Chuck's house.
We took billions of pictures, there were bunches of friends over, lots of food and drinks (no alcohol though—unless the older people had some with them when they came in. I'm not sure; I wasn't going to have any though.)
"HEY Yuffie!" I spun around.
"HEY TIDUS!" I ran and jumped on him (we give big hugs).
He laughed, "Aerith told me you'd be here—hope I'm not crashing the party."
"No you're not—people we don't even know showed up, no one cares. It's a come-if-you-want-or-would-like-to-be-a-groupie party." I grinned.
Tidus cocked up an eyebrow, "Great—I get to be a groupie." I laughed, "So how was the show?"
My jaw dropped, just to make myself look like I was like 'OMG WHY DIDN'T GO AND SUPPORT THE BAND? YOU MEANIE!' "You mean you weren't THERE?" I yelled. Not because I was mad at him. He was yelling, too. The music was too loud and that was the only way we could hear each other.
He shook his head and his blonde hair swayed from left then to the right following his head movement. He needs a haircut—his hair was starting to almost completely cover his eyes. Not that it didn't look nice though, I'm just used to seeing him with shorter hair. "I had a blitzball tournament, sorry I couldn't make it."
Ooo. What if he shaved his head and was BALD? That'd be funny—I'd SO point and laugh at him—
"Yuff?"
I blinked and shook my head, "Wha?"
Tidus laughed and shook his head, "Is your A.D.D kicking in?"
I laughed, "Sorry." I glanced over at the band members in the other room (I saw them through the large arch doorway). "Let's go hang out with the band—you can meet the other guys."
"Ok." Tidus followed me through the crowds of teenagers towards Sora and the band members.
I glanced over at the neon clock on the brick wall, 11:34pm. Oh I'll be SO grounded. Whatever—it's worth it. This is why people came up with the excuse, "I loss track of time." It's not cause we really lost track of time—its cause we KNEW we were out past curfew but chose not to go home.
"HEEEY." Chuck greeted us as we joined them.
"HEY CHUCKIE!" I flopped down on the large futon with Josh and Sora.
Sora and Tidus did the nod-greeting thing again—I'm still wondering why they don't just wave…
"You guys know Tidus—right?" Sora asked the guys.
"Uh…we met last time at Bernie's, didn't we?" Johnny squinted tilting his head.
"Yeah—we did." Tidus smiled and sat down next to me.
It took me awhile to realize Josh, the drummer, was sucking face with some random chick. They were getting pretty wild—eventually (and thankfully) they took off to the bedroom. I really don't need to go into details with what might have happened in there. Hah ah—but that's what I call true GROUPY-ism. Hah ha hah ha. Ok…I thought that sounded funny—if you didn't laugh with me, whatever. I am just weird and sometimes laugh at un-funny things. So don't mind me.
I stepped out of the building with Sora and Tidus following behind me. Oh—and Selphie was with us as well. She was drunk as hell. Yes..turns out someone DID bring alcohol and SMART Selphie decided to drink with them. To me, that TOTALLY brings her COOLNESS LEVEL DOWN 20 percent. All the way to the hotel she was giggling and tripping over things. Finally (Shh..heh. I was kind of glad) she passed out; I caught her before she hit the floor, though. She SO OWES me one now. I offered to carry her on my back but Tidus said he'd do it, so I let him. I struggled kinda, but handed her limp body to him and he lifted her off the ground and over his shoulder (effortlessly—that show-off). I chuckled.
"What?" he asked.
"I think it'd be better if you give her a piggyback ride or something. She looks dead the way you're carrying her right now."
"Oh…Heh. OK."
I glanced around, "Where's Sora?" I asked. Tidus raised an eyebrow then turned around to look behind us, I did too. There he was—he was bent over puking behind the stoop. Ewe. "I'll go get him." I grumbled before walking over to him. Tidus just nodded and shifted Selphie, who was beginning to slide down.
"You ok, buddy?" I bent over a little and rubbed Sora's back.
He spat (I grimaced) a last time and then answered, 'No' by shaking his head.
"Well, that's what you get for drinking." He glanced up at me, I grinned. "C'mon—we gotta get outta here. It's like..THREE something in the morning." I helped pull him to his feet. He could barely walk—how much DID he drink? I had to have his arm around my shoulders just to make sure he didn't crumple down to the floor again.
Tidus chuckled, "Sora you loser."
Sora grinned. We all started towards the hotel. Halfway there, Sora had to stop and puke again. Oh that was SO gross. When we started walking again Sora was being like—beyond weird. He kept talking about like really out of the ordinary things and he kept touching my hair. I had to, like, grab his hand and pull it back down to his side. I gave him two sticks of Winter Fresh—his breath stunk, from all that puking.
On the third floor of the hotel now, Tidus held Selph up as I searched her pockets (and purse) for her keys. "Got it." I said as pulled her keys out. Yeah…that was smart. The last place I checked, her purse…
"Ok." Tidus said picking her up again, "So which key is it?"
Darn it.
Ten minutes later…
The lock clicked and I pushed the door open. I reached my hand out and felt around the wall for a light switch. Just wall. Just wall. Just wall. An outlet. Just wall. A man boob? CLICK. The lights came on and I found out I had my hand on Selphie's dad's man boob and he had just turned on the light with his left hand. In his right hand was a bat.
"Um. Hi Mr. Selphie's dad?" I said. Then remembered and quickly removed my hand from his boob. Eeewe.
He glared at me. Then he glanced over at his daughter, who was at the moment passed out DRUNK and on Tidus's back. He turned his glare back to me, "Why is my daughter unconscious?"
"Um." I looked over to the guys and then turned back to him, "She's just SLEEPING." I chuckled. I'm a good liar…sometimes.
He raised his right (super bushy) eyebrow. He should really wax those things. Not really pretty if you ask me—
"Why are you guys carrying my UNCONSCIOUS daughter into my house at 3 in the morning?" man—this guys asks a lot of questions. Like, just STOP interrogating us and just let us go home—we have our own parents to worry about lying to, too ya know.
"We were all at my house working on a sociology project on why kids should never come within 5 feet of drugs and alcohol cause it's really not good for us. AND we were discussing about plans to go help the hospital out—did you know Tidus here," I pointed to Tidus, "is President of the school's interact club?" I grinned, "Anyway—we lost track of time and before we knew it Selphie was out like a light and…we decided to bring her home."
That was a BIG and LONG lie. I smiled innocently.
He didn't look too mad anymore. YAY TO MY AWESOME 'I'm such a good kid who does nothing but school related things' performance.
"In that case I guess it's ok. It's not a school night or anything either—hope you guys get a good grade on your project." He grinned. WHEW.
"Oh thank you. I hope so, too." I smiled, "Can we take Selphie to her room?"
"Yeah sure, go ahead." He moved out of the way, "It's down the hall, three doors to the left." He directed.
I nodded and then motioned for the guys to follow. I turned the knob and then opened up the door to Selphie's room. I flicked on the light and we all froze. The place was unbelievably clean. It was scary. Selphie had a bookcase in her room? SHE READ? Wow—is she secretly a smart nerd? Her bed (with a canopy) was to the right of the room and her closet and vanity mirror were over to the left. The walls were a faded pink color with hardwood floors (I think all the rooms, except for the bathrooms, in this hotel have hardwood floors). I walked in slowly looking around at the pictures and miscellaneous items in her room. I was like—WOWed. I think the guys were too. I ran my fingers along the built-in-shelves near her bed. Then I looked at the fancy clock on her nightstand, Poop.
"Tidus, set her down—we have to go."
"What time is it?" Sora hiccupped. I glanced at him, he was leaning against the doorframe.
"Almost 4." I pulled the covers of Selphie's bed down.
Tidus set Selphie on the bed, I pulled the covers over her and then we left.
"Bye, Tidus." I said as the elevator doors opened on the second floor.
He waved to us and then the doors closed again. Tidus lived two floors above us; Selphie lived on the third floor. Heh—I guess only cool people live on the fourth floor.
I still had Sora hanging onto me. Gosh he was heavy.
"Hey Yuff…." He slurred.
"What?" I looked down at him.
He just smiled.
"…..Ok." I cocked up one eyebrow, "You really should never touch alcohol ever again." DING. The doors slid open.
I started leading Sora out into the hallway, then I tripped over his shoelaces. I always thought if your shoelaces were untied you'd trip yourself (not other people)? Cloud says I scare him sometimes…cause of these weird things that I do, on accident, that no one else seems to be doing. Since I was what Sora was putting most of his weight on, he fell with me. I pushed myself off the floor and propped myself up on my elbows. Sora was on his back; we looked at each other and then started laughing. That was weird.
Friday-entry 9
I didn't go to my meeting with Gepetto—EOC probably won't get me any more jobs…but whatever. –I had fun at the show. The after party (celebration for getting first place) was also AWESOME. Selph was like DEAD DRUNK afterwards though, that was really not fun hauling her back home. Wait—what am I talking about? Tidus carried her back…heh. I'll take the credit for getting her home safely without trouble, though. I WAS the one who had to LIE (a lot) to the parental unit.
Oh yeah—and walking Sora to his room we found out Sora lost his keys in the canal while he was puking (in it). Donald and Goofy aren't going to be in Traverse Town for another few days, so he had to bunk at my place. He's like—totally knocked out right now on my bed. I guess I get the couch tonight. How fun.
A new thing about my best friend that I just learned today: Sora doesn't snore OR sleep talk, while we're on the subject of nocturnal habits.
REMINDER: never let Selphie drink EVER AGAIN. And school's out next week.
A/N: OMG! I'm SOOOOO STOKED, tomorrows the FOURTH OF JULY. And WARPED TOUR IS FINALLY HERE! OMG I am SOOOO HAPPY. I am totally going to MOSH TIL I DROP!
And my favorite band, MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE, is going to be there! I might die of HAPPINESS!
Oh yeah—sorry I took so long to update, I've been busy.
