I fucking hate you guys..”[/color] Tongue gliding over his teeth; it was more than clear by the boys expression that he just simply wasn’t in the mood. And hand lifting from where it had been resting lazily over his lap, Jason ran his fingers roughly through his dark locks. Forcing them from his face. The deep oceanic hues of his eyes wandering- trailing until he was staring, unfocused, out the back passenger window of his truck. Yeah.. It was fucking typical. Not only had the pricks gone and forcefully uprooted him from the peaceful solace that was his bedroom without warning; but on top of it they’d hijacked his damn truck too, just to add insult to injury. Elbow hitting the inside of the door beside him; Jace slid further down in his seat. Head tilting until it hit his fingers, and after another moment, he was rubbing at his forehead. He was annoyed- he didn’t want to go to some stupid party. Okay. Correction: [i]he’d told them[/i] he didn’t want to go. But did the dicks listen..? [i]No.[/i] When in hell did they ever. Really, at this point he shouldn’t have been surprised. The fact that he was, that was on him. One-hundred percent. He should have expected a stunt like this. Free hand delving into the confines of his jacket pocket, it wasn’t long before he’d retrieved what he was looking for. And lifting the vape to his lip, he took a drag.The cab of the truck soon filling with the smell of a caffè mocha as the smoke billowed from his nostrils. And sitting back up in his seat, he turned his gaze back over to his, for lack of better words, kidnappers, [color=#827578]“.. Remind me again why you two are so damn adamant I go to this thing..? If I wanted to get fucking wasted, I coulda done that at home. [i]Alone[/i].”[/color] [color=#2D8B78]“You don’t hate us and you know it.”[/color] Pierce said from the driver’s seat of his friend’s truck as he looked back at him in the rear view mirror. Sure he and Julian had basically abducted Jace but it was for his own good. They couldn’t have him sitting in his room sulking when they are all going to a party. [color=#2D8B78]“We just finished the first day of our senior year. Everyone is going out to celebrate and you want to sit at home? We obviously couldn't have that.”[/color] Pierce focused back on the road [color=#2D8B78]”And we stole your truck cuz it will be easier for me to put your wasted asses back in here than it would be mine or Julian’s cars.”[/color] He added knowing that would likely be the next question out of Jace’s mouth, or at least one of them. Pierce and Julian had decided sometime during the day that Jace would not be staying home tonight, they would get him to the party if they had to drag him there, which ended up being what they needed to do more or less. Though taking his truck hadn’t been a part of the original plan, that had been a last minute decision knowing he would be the one bringing the other two home. Sitting so that he could observe himself in the rearview mirror, Julian was still fidgeting with his hair and shirt collar. Having to wrestle Jace into the car had proven to be an eventful start to the evening - even if it did damn near ruin his outfit and make him want to scream. Being a decent friend was hard work, especially when the person you were trying to be a good friend to was kicking and screaming like you were trying to send him off to a wilderness camp. [color=#FF3C31]”Because you’re focused on wanting to be miserable right now, and what better way to be miserable than to do something you don’t wanna do?”[/color] the young man questioned, nudging Jace on the shoulder. [color=#FF3C31]”It’s the first party of the year man,”[/color] he continued to explain, shaking his head. [color=#FF3C31]”No way I’m letting you miss out on it, even if you do want to stand in a corner all night.”[/color] .. Okay, so [i]maybe[/i] Julian had a point. There was no better way to be miserable than to do shit you didn’t actually want to do. But there was no way in hell Jason was going to give the dick the satisfaction he was fishing for by admitting that out loud. And he wasn’t even about to touch on the subject of his truck. [color=#827578]“.. Yeah. [i]First party[/i].”[/color] Deadpanning it; Jason met and held his best friends eyes through the rearview mirror. Though.. at this point, Julian was more of a brother to him than anything. The two of them had been thick as thieves since childhood. Simply clicking from the moment they’d met. Shit just made sense when they were together, [color=#827578]“First. Meaning there’s gonna be plenty more for me to go to later on in the year. Besides; I’m supposed to be on the night shift tonight, guys. And both of you know there’s no fucking chance that Evelyn’ll cover my shift for me.”[/color] The dark haired boy huffed, leaning back in the seat now that he was somewhat happy with his appearance. He mocked his best friend unintelligibly while fighting the urge to smack him on the back of his head. Of course there would be other parties, but the first and last were always the best of the year. Everyone knew it. The fact that Jace couldn’t just get excited for free booze honestly hurt a little. [color=#FF3C31]”You worry too much man. Evelyn’s gotcha covered. I made sure of it. Animals are fed, temperatures monitored on the tanks and all that other geeky stuff you’re always goin’ on about. Now can you [i]please[/i] stop grumbling.”[/color] Pierce rolled his eyes at the two bickering. He knew it was all friendly banter. [color=#2D8B78]“Besides, we always go to the first party together, you wouldn’t want to break tradition just because you are being mister grumpy pants.”[/color] He made puppy dog eyes and stuck out his lip a little as he spoke to seem all the more pathetic. [color=#2D8B78]“That or I can go the ‘My therapist told me consistency is key’ route but that one isn’t as fun and I don’t get to call you mister grumpy pants on that route.”[/color] Pierce took another glance into the back seat just to check if Jace was still making the grumpy face he had been putting on since they “kidnapped” him. He seemed less annoyed but still a little bit. [color=#2D8B78]“Also, if it makes you feel better I heard through the grapevine that MJ is also getting dragged to this party so you and your silent buddy have things to silently stew about.”[/color] He teased a little as his attention went back to the road. [color=#827578]“Right. Of course. Because spending the entire night sat stewing in silence beside my ex-girlfriend, who also doesn’t want to be there, is the remedy. Stupid me. Now why hadn’t I thought of that..?”[/color] Not even bothering to refrain, Jason rolled his eyes. His head giving a light shake as his gaze wandered. Returning to the window beside him for only a brief moment before he brought it back to the others. Eventually letting his blues settle on Julian as, lifting his hand, he loosely pointed towards the guy sat beside him, [color=#827578]“Admit it - tradition aside, you only want to go to this thing tonight because it’s being held at Kassie’s place, and you wanna shoot your shot.”[/color] [color=#FF3C31]”Well duh,”[/color] Julian scoffed, folding his arms across his chest. [color=#FF3C31]”I wouldn’t say it was the [i]only[/i] reason, but it was the first. Second was getting you out of that indent you’ve made on the couch.”[/color] [color=#827578]“I have [i]not[/i] left an indent on my couch..”[/color] Once again giving a light shake of his head, Jason let his gaze drop to the vape in his hand. Doing everything in his power to keep the stupid grin he could feel tugging at the corners of his lips from showing, [color=#827578]“.. asshole.”[/color] A small rush of air escaped his nose and Julain silently laughed. Beginning to scroll through his social media notifications, the Italian boy rolled his eyes. [color=#FF3C31]”So many people are already posting about this thing. I hope there’s not a shit-ton of underclassmen there.”[/color] [color=#2D8B78]“Girls girls you're both pretty.”[/color] Pierce teased as the two of them bickered behind him. [color=#2D8B78]“I don’t think there will be too many underclassmen, most of them don’t get into our bad habits until at [i]least[/i] junior year. Prolly a few outliers of course though.”[/color] [color=#827578]“.. Pretty sure we can expect the juniors. Some of them at least. Doubt the other seniors are gonna put up with sophomores and freshman crashing though.”[/color] A defeated sigh passing from his lips, Jason fell back against the seat. Not so much as bothering to fight his current situation anymore, because really, even he knew there was no point. These two were gonna do what they were gonna do whether he liked it or not. Chuckling softly, the grin he’d been suppressing hitting his lips despite all his attempts, Jace shot a glance between the two of them, [color=#827578]“I mean, come on.. isn’t getting your ass kicked out of a senior party also tradition..? I remember our first time trying to sneak into one..”[/color] The smile Pierce had been looking for finally showed itself. Pierce knew Jace had been forcing himself not to show it, but the sight of it gave some sense of relief to the brunette. [color=#2D8B78]“I mean sure, after all, we all thought we were cool enough to attend one of these when we were freshies. I still stand by the fact that we definitely were, but the seniors had other ideas.”[/color] He flashed the two of them a grin at the memory. Returning the smile, Julian threw in his own opinions once more. [color=#FF3C31]”It’s not so much the juniors I’m worried about,”[/color] he began. [color=#FF3C31]”More so the freshmen. [i]We[/i] were cool little badasses. This next generation? Not so much. But the Italian in me can’t disrespect tradition, so if someone needs hazing tonight - I’m you’re guy.”[/color] The rest of the drive was spent with the three of them bantering back and forth as they usually did. The trio in Jace’s truck pulled up to the party and Pierce looked back at the two of them as he put the truck in park. [color=#2D8B78]“Ladies and gentlemen this is the part where I would normally ask for your keys but seeing as we stole Jace’s truck and I am in possession of the keys that step is now unnecessary. With that your designated driver would like to wish you a happy party, may you get as wasted as you want and party hard.”[/color] He said in his most captainy voice, grinning at the other two. [color=#2D8B78]“Oh and if you are worried about losing your phones when slash if you get wasted you should probably leave them with me, or in here.”[/color] And with that Pierce swung open the door to the vehicle and headed toward the party propper.
