The boardwalk was crowded with people. We couldn't find any open spaces in the parking lot so we had to park our bikes on the pier that was within the boardwalk. There wasn't much space left on the pier but we eventually found space next to four other motorcycles. As we parked our bikes, we all got whistles from guys that walked by. It was flattering, but none of the guys were my type. Blair, however, seemed interested in every guy that walked past. Typical Blair. I told the girls to follow me as I started to walk into the crowd. They stayed close as we went further into the crowd. We got more whistles from guys and Blair, somehow, managed to get a guy's number. She seemed pleased with herself as we walked past some small shops. I shook my head in annoyance and kept walking. Some of the shops seemed interesting. There were some souvenir shops as well as a comic book store. I thought that was cool. I loved comic books.
We walked around the boardwalk for an hour. After a while Blair started to get irritated.
"Danny? Can we please split up? We're grown up werewolves with plenty of fighting experience. We don't need to stay in a small pack here. Besides, I just saw a hunk who had my name written all over him."
I didn't think it was a good idea but Sarah said that it would be easier to look around for anything suspicious. I thought about it for a bit and then said that it was a good all agreed and decided that we would meet up by our motorcycles if anything happened. We all had our cell phones and switchblades( for when we needed them). We broke off from our group and went our separate ways for the night. I didn't know what to do so I went to check out the comic store I saw.
The comic store wasn't busy, except for the rowdy group in the back of the store. I shook my head in annoyance as I started to look at the comics. Some of the comics looked cool. One comic caught my eye so I picked it up to look through it. As I looked through the pages, I could see out of the corners of my eyes two boys who had their eyes on me. They were probably two or three years younger than me so they were definitely not old enough to be interested in dating me. They kept staring at me as I walked around the store. Finally, they had gotten on my nerves.
"Got a problem guys?" I asked them.
The younger looking one of the two replied to my question by saying, "Just scoping your civilian wardrobe."
"Pretty cool, huh?"I said.
The older looking one answered my reply by saying, "For a fashion model." From the way he said it, it didn't seem like a compliment. I shook my head and continued to look. I was looking through a few comics when one of the boys handed me a comic. I looked at the cover and saw that it was about vampires. I handed it back.
"I don't like horror comics." I told the boy.
"You'll like this one. It could save your life." The boy replied back while giving me the comic again.
I took the comic from him, thanked him and then left. I didn't leave because of the annoyance I got from the boys. I left because the rowdy group in the back of the store had run out after grabbing a handful of comics. The boys chased them and I figured I wouldn't waste anymore of my time there.
After leaving the comic store, I checked out a few more shops. One store sold cool clothes while one store was actually a tattoo shop. I got a small anarchy symbol tattooed onto my left wrist. The tattoo artist said that the tattoo suited me as I left the shop. I thanked him and continued to walk around. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do then. There were lots of other things to do. I could have played some games, gone on the rides, listened to the concert, or shopped some more. But none of those things seemed interesting to me. I then decided that I would go and ride on the carousel.
The line was a bit long when I approached the carousel, so I decided to wait a bit before I got on. As I waited, a couple came up to me and asked if I would take a picture for them. Not wanting to seem rude, I agreed and took the photo. When I gave the couple their camera back, the woman handed me a ten and said that it was because I was so kind. I thanked her and watched as they walked away into the crowd. As my eyes followed the couple, I suddenly froze. On the side of the carousel was a group of four boys. But they weren't just any boys. They were the boys from my dream.
