Btw, Sky is made up by me, and no, she is not any of the boy's girlfriends. She's just their best friend who's a girl.

Chapter 6:

Zach's POV

I was riding through Roseville on my motorbike, having decided to meet my mates at this bar that's always open. I was smoking, of course. I just don't know how people live without it.

When I arrived, I got of my motorbike and went inside. I knew most people in here as they went to my school. My mates were sitting at our usual place; right in the middle.

I hi-fived some people I walked past. From the corner of my eyes, I could see girls checking me out. I turned to them and smirked my famous smirk at them. They giggled and blushed and hid behind their hair. I turned back as I reached our table.

Around the table was Jonas, Grant, Nick and Sky. We had all been mates for as long as I can remember.

I tapped Grant on the shoulder. He turned around and when he saw it was me, he gave me a one-arm man hug and said "Hey, Zach"

I turned to the others "hi guys"

They all said hey back.

"Why do you smoke so much?" Jonas asked, looking at the cigarette in my hand. "Do you know how harmful cigarettes are?" Jonas turning nerdy on us. Everyone either yawned or ignored him. That didn't stop him thought.

"Our bodies are not toys. We should always maintain its purity." Sky started laughing. We all looked at her but she just shook her head.

"Wonder what's wrong with lover boy." Grant said.

Lover boy was a nickname for Preston Winters because he was in 'love' with his girlfriend. Tine, I think her name is.

We all tuned to look at him. He was slumped over the bar, staring at the can of coke in his hand.

We got up and walked over to him. I sat on the bar. Preston got a sip of coke gloomily.

"Het Preston," I said. "What's wrong? Why are you looking so gloomily?"

"It's nothing, just…" He paused.

"Just what?" Sky asked.

"Tell us," Jonas urged.

"It's nothing, guys, I bet it's about his girl." Grant siad

"Tina?" Sky asked.

"Yes." Grant said. "Anyway, he promised her that he would her birthday together."

What was wrong then?

"Then what's wrong? Just go ahead and spend it with her!" Sky seemed to be thinking the same thing as me.

Preston must have decided that we'll get the whole story either the hard way or easy way. Good thing he went with easy. "Her birthday is in six days." He said.

"Okay," Jonas said. "And…"

"And in six days she'll be in Manhattan."

Okay, Now I was confused. "Manhattan? Why?" I asked.

"There's a youth conference there. And the school has selected her group to go. That's why she's going." Preston looked even gloomier as he said that.

"Then you go with her," It was simple. I lightly pounced him on the shoulder.

He glared at me. "How can I just go? The school has chosen her group, that's why she's going for free." Preston never had much money. The little amount he did have, he spend it on drinks. "If any students wants to go along ,they have to pay 50% amount." He finished.

"Is that the whole problem?" I asked and smirked, putting my cigarette in my mouth. "I'll solve that little problem, okay?"

*:*:*:*:*

"I won't do it!"

I was in the back room of the café, leaning against the wall and drinking. Grant and Jonas were sitting down and Sky and Nick were pacing up and down. The waiter, so was also our school's caretaker, was shaking his head.

"I won't do it, I won't do such a thing," Matt Wilson said again.

"You have to do this for us," I said simply, putting my head back.

"I told you, I won't do this." Matt said, yet again.

"You won't." I looked at him with my eyebrows raised.

He shook his head.

"Jonas?" I asked.

"Yes?"

"Calculate how much we owe him," I pointed at Matt.

Jonas got his phone out. "Counting what we just ate, we owe him $302.29" Matt nodded his head.

"$302.29." I had to do this for my friend, so I turned to Matt. "Look here, Matt, if you want your money back by tomorrow evening, then you will do this for us."I knew this was not fair, and I would get in series trouble for it, but it would be fun and the most awesome prank ever if we pulled it off.

I continued. "If you don't even consider, then we aren't paying you." Sky, Nick, Preston and Grant were smiling and Jonas and Matt just looked at me like I was mad.

"And if I do consider, you will pay everything back tomorrow?"

"That's what I just said." No time for playing nice.

"Fine, I'll think about it and give you an answer tomorrow. Actually, I've already decided. I will do it."

I smirked and walked out, the others following me. This was going to be fun.

There you have it? Plz review.

So what are they going to do? Any ideas? Guess!

How do you like Zach so far?
