Ok, so for the sake of argument, they are all in the same grade, and most (not all) of them smoke for the time being. If you can't handle that, you don't need to read it. They are all around 17 and 18 so this puts them all around year 12 (in Australia anyway so we are going off that)
The next few weeks, as it turned out, were uneventful with Outdoor Rec quickly becoming my favourite subject. Not only because the teacher was great and the content in the subject was interesting, but also because Drew, May Brock and Misty were in the class as well.
Then the first round of birthdays came up, starting with Drew's in February and Brocks in March. Knowing mum would be out of town for Drew's party and not having a licence to get from my place to his, he offered to let me crash at his place the night before and the night of his party.
When his party finally came round I already has all the stuff packed ready to take to his and being a Saturday also meant I wouldn't need to carry my books around all weekend either. So on Friday all that could be heard on the basketball court was what everyone was planning on doing at the party, during classes and at lunch. The day has started off with the boring classes, Math and English for first and second period, construction in third and lastly Information technology and Outdoor rec.
Since Drew and I shared last period we didn't have to meet up after class, so from there we decided to walk back to mine and collect my bag then go to his place. As we were walking back to mine there was a comfortable silence between us but that didn't last long as Drew looked at me with a smirk and asked "I was wondering, who do you think is going to end up making out tomorrow night?"
The question took me a while to answer, because I didn't really know how to respond, but after a few seconds I looked at him and decided to mention it. "Well if you really want to know who I think, the first two names on my list would be you and May." With a not too subtle grin that grew larger when his cheeks reddened and he looked back at the ground.
"You think so, she doesn't seem that interested in me?" he asked as we headed into my front yard. Still not looking up from that one moving spot on the ground and still blushing brightly. "Think about it, you both show up to school at the same time, she gives you the same longing looks that you give her, and you are both in each other's classes. I mean all of each other's classes. I'm surprised you two haven't gotten together long before now." I simply stated as I collected my bag, said good bye to mum and left for Drew's house. In the time it took to get to Drew's a few other couples came up including me and Misty, and Paul and Dawn.
After we got there the day went by without much more interesting things happening, just a bit of small talk with Drew's parents, a bit of gaming and going outside for the occasional smoke. Soon enough it was time to turn in for the night and get rest for the day ahead.
