Fitting In - Chapter 5

I had just gotten home from my wonderful, yet exhausting night. Too tired to make it to my bedroom I headed for the closest object I could sleep on which happened to be the couch, literally "crashing" onto it and drifting off to sleep without a second thought.

IN WALLY'S DREAM

Tick tick tick 2:00 tick tick tick 2:01 so close! tick tick tick 2:05 Man was time not flying! This was the longest 15 minutes of my entire life.

It's the last day of my Junior year at Hyland High School and I can't wait until summer break.

Just thinking about the parties, beach, drinks only had my excitement growing through the roof especially the party happening tonight.

Lost in my train of thought I didn't notice the bell ring until I felt a finger poking me in the back. I turn to find Mary Yang standing behind me smiling.

Mary is and has been my best friend ever since we met in middle school and since high school started we've been closer than ever, well…except in the past few weeks.

The thing is my current situation with friends is I usually hang out with two different groups the problem with that is that they are on different sides of the popularity charts if you want to call it that. I'm always being told to ditch the other group but I don't mind it and I'm cool with everyone even if they're not cool with each other, it doesn't bug me in the slightest.

"Woah thanks Mary got a bit distracted" I said sending a smile her way.

She rolled her eyes before saying, "Cmon daydreamer lets get out of this place summer is calling our name!".

We headed out of the class, to our lockers which we emptied and left the prison called school to begin, what I liked to call.. The greatest summer to be.

See, Mary and I lived on the same street so we had plenty of time to talk on the walk home.

"Soooooo you and the guys are coming tonight right?"

"Of course we are! Jeff hasn't shut up about it since last week"

"Awesome! I'm so glad you guys are coming I wouldn't rather spend it with anyone else"

"Yeeee..about that..don't tell me you're going to spend the whole night with Smith, Stacey, Sarah, and Terry".

Those were my other group of friends "the big meat head jocks" as my other friends call them.

"Of course not! I'm just gonna peep in talk for a few minutes and then you guys have my full attention for the rest of the night I already talked to them about it too, so don't worry we're good"

"You always find a way to make thing work out don't you?" she said with a chuckle.

"They don't call me Mr Wonder for nothing" I replied with a wink.

The rest of the walk we talked about random stuff as usual, that's how we got so close, we're both so random.

A few minutes passed and we reached our houses, said our goodbyes and headed into our homes.

I opened the door to the run down home I was used to, like usual mom was cooking at this time and dad was probably in the study finishing up his work. I ignored both of them and sprinted to my room, determined to get a power nap in before the party, I had to have my beauty sleep for the babes!

A Few Hours Later

I awoke feeling fresher than ever, jumping out of bed I headed to the bathroom to shower and get ready. I had my outfit laid out on my bed which consisted of black lacoste shoes, blue jean shorts that cut of mid-knee and a black polo, perfect if I say so myself! While I put some cologne on I heard my phone buzz and went over to check it out.

"Be there in 5-Jeff"

I finished getting ready and headed downstairs, passing by the kitchen as I went.

"Where are you going? My mom asked peeking out from behind the wall.

"out, why? You gonna tell me to be safe?"

"hah as if I care"

I rolled my eyes and headed for the door where my dad stopped me and gave me a smile.

"Don't worry about your mother she's had a busy day that's all"

My dad was always so understanding, unlike mom.

"Now before I let you go I have a few questions"

"shoot"

"Who's driving? Designated driver? Where are you going? Got a ride home?"

"Jeff,Jeff, Smiths party, and yes"

"Good boy, Be safe Wally" he gave me a hug before sending me on my way.

As if on queue, Jeff pulled up in the driveway waving at my dad and I.

I hopped in the back seat with Mary and Jordan, with Jeff, obviously driving and Jessica in the passenger seat, the gang was all here.

"All right before we go I just got to say, lets make tonight the greatest start to any summer we've ever had!" Jeff's Mini speech definitely pumped us all up as Jessica turned the music up and sped off to the party.

When we got there it was a mess finding somewhere to park as the entire street was full. Really it was no surprise because the party was basically if you don't have other plans you're invited so you can bet pretty much the whole school plus more would be here tonight.

We got inside and shifted straight into the party vibe.

I excused myself for a few minutes to go say hello to my other friends just as I said I would, I wouldn't ditch them tonight like I had a few times before no, they didn't deserve that.

I found them relatively quickly and headed over to say Hi.

"Yo Smith how's it going big guy"

"Well if it isn't Mr Wonder, I'm glad you came man"

I talked with them for a bit when I was ambushed from behind as somebody had jumped up on my back.

"Hey wuh-get off! Stacy?"

There was the blonde hugging me from behind, hot blonde I might add.

"Stacy how are you?"

"I'm good but wow Wally don't you look cute tonight"

"Haha you know I like to dress to impress, especially for a beauty like you" I said with a wink.

Stacy just stared at me with this seductive look, kind of creepy actually. I must've looked a little shocked because Smith noticed and spoke up.

"Haha don't worry about her Wally she's drunk already, by the way you planning on staying with us tonight brother?"

"Nah sorry it's a night for my pals over there I promised"

"I keep telling you to just ditch them they're not good enough for you but, I can respect your decision, go on we'll talk later" Smith said as we fist bumped and I left to rejoin my friends.

At this point the party was in full swing, teenagers everywhere dancing, drinking and just having a good time. My buddies and I set up a beer pong game, Mary and I vs. Jeff and Jessica we won obviously, it was great to be here with everyone we were all enjoying ourselves and to think this was only the beginning.

A Few Hours Later

I don't understand how everyone could party this hard for so long. Four hours and the party was still going strong and had no end in sight. However, Mary and I needed a rest from all that dancing and found a nice spot on the couch to hang out.

"I'm having so much fun, what about you Wally?"

"OH YEAH! But I'm so tired right now I got to take a break"

"Word to that, here let me get us some drinks I'll be right back.

Mary got off the couch and headed off to find drinks for us but, just as her spot freed up it was instantly taken by none other than Stacy.

"Enjoying yourself Stacy?"

"I bet I'd be enjoying myself way more if you and me headed upstairs for some "special fun" what do you say?"

"Woah I can't just ditch Mary like that…"

Looking at her eyes though…it was those same seductive ones I'd seen not too long ago, and with a few drinks in my system I just couldn't resist it this time.

"Lead the way sweetheart"

Stacy smiled, took my hand and led my upstairs and into an empty guest bedroom.

"You sure Smith's going to be okay with this?"

"Less talk, more fun" as she silenced me when her lips crashed against mine.

Mary

I'd found drinks for Wally and I, figured water would be the best choice as I headed back to the couch to find him. Maybe tonight will be the night when he realizes that he loves me as much I love him. He probably had no clue however and thought we were only best friends. I sighed as I approached the couch only to discover he was no longer there.

I saw Smith close by and although I didn't like him much he'd most likely know where Wally went off too.

"Hey Smith, have you seen Wally?"

"Mary right? Wally talks about you a lot, and I'm pretty sure he headed upstairs"

Upstairs? I'm not huge on parties but I know what goes on in the bedrooms at one.

I bolted for the steps, no no no no, was all I could think as I made my way to the only room with the lights on, I refused to believe what I assumed was happening.

I reached the door, slowly creaking it open witnessing my worst fear come true, losing feeling I dropped the waters I had been holding.

Wally

I knew what I was doing was wrong on many levels but, it felt so right at this moment.

Stacy had her hands on my cheeks pulling me closer and closer into her kiss, not giving me a moment to breath. My hands were on her hips intoxicated by her presence. I wanted this moment to last unfortunately, it was interrupted by a creaking noise coming from the door, I paused for a moment checking to see where the disturbance came from and when I saw who was standing there my eyes went wide.

I pulled Stacy off of me and pushed her away, getting a full look at Mary standing at the door with a shocked, no, disgusted look on her face.

"Mary, it's not…"

No, I couldn't tell her it wasn't what it looked like, cause that is exactly what it did look like and I felt worse than I ever have in that moment.

"W-w-wally?! Y-y-you…promised" tears were welling up in her eyes.

I refused to look in her eyes for I didn't have to see them to understand how she felt and all I could do was hang my head in shame.

"I'm so sorry Mary"

I didn't blame her for what she did next as she turned around and took off down the stairs.

I sprinted after her calling her name "Mary MARY WAIT!", I followed her all the way outside.

"Get away from me, Scum", the last word stuck like a knife as I fell to the ground almost as if a knife was literally stuck in my legs and refused to let me make chase.

Our little scene had attracted plenty of attention, people started to follow out of the house to see what had occurred, among them, Stacy.

She walked over to me and put an arm around my shoulder.

'Pfft, good riddance now it's just me and you hot stuff"

In that moment all my grief was replaced by anger I'm not sure if it was the alcohol which triggered me to do what I did next but no matter what it was I regret it all the same.

I turned to face Stacy as something inside me "flipped on" as I picked her up into the air without lifting a finger.

I could hear her squealing to let her down but I didn't care, this was her fault.

I lifted her higher as the other students just stood by watching in disbelief, 5 feet, 10 feet, 15 feet.

I looked her in the eyes and saw all the terror and then…I dropped her.

CRASH!

I awoke from dream on the floor instead of the couch.

My body was sticky from sweating so much and my heart was beating faster than normal. I headed to the fridge to get a glass of water, bringing it to the couch where I sat and attempted to calm myself down. That was one memory I had never, EVER wanted to relive. I glanced at the clock: "3:45 AM" it read, I sighed as I knew I would not be going back to sleep after that traumatic dream.

I headed over to the window gazing out at the stars as me and well you know…used to do so long ago, the word "SCUM" ringing in the back of my mind.

I clutched my forehead as I went to turn the TV on.

I'm Sorry….Mary.
