Jack

The next morning I woke up feeling like something was on top of my chest. What happened yesterday? What even was yesterday? Why can't I remember shit when I first open my eyes and stare at the ceiling?

Once it came back to me, I realized it was one, Sunday now. And two, Alex was the one making it hard to breathe. I pushed him off, laughing at how he didn't even mutter a sound, completely asleep. I decided I should clean up our mess from last night, considering we both passed out during the movie last night.
Rolling out of bed, I made sure Alex had the blanket of him before turning off my t.v and grabbing our dirty plates. When I left the room, I heard the shower going and from the sound of it, it was probably Mrs. Dawson. She always hums in the shower. I continued my trek down the stairs and found Rian on the couch.

“Hey dude, how'd last night go?” He asked once he saw me pass over to the kitchen.
“Great, taught Alex how to do his fucking hair.” I called back, before walking in to join him on the sofa.
“I saw his outfit yesterday too, what exactly are you doing, Barakat?”
“Charity case.” I shrugged, leaning back.
“You mean ruining the kid's whole personality.”
“I'm just going to teach him how to have fun.”
“Then what?” Rian asked.
“Then I am going to hit that and laugh at the now dirty church boy.” I smiled, not caring.
“You're terrible.” Rian laughed. “And you know, some people are going to get jealous of you hanging around him.”
“Those whores can cool it.” I said. “Plus, he's a cool kid once you get passed the goody two shoeness of him. Maybe I'll keep.”
“Doubt it.” Rian snorted. “Anyway, what are your guy's plans today.”
“Don't know yet, why?”
“Zack wants to hang.” Rian said, getting out his phone. That gave me an idea.
“Tell him to meet us at the usual place and to bring some stuff. And that we're bringing a noobie.”
“Jack...” Rian warned.
“Hey, I won't make Alex do anything he doesn't want to do.” I laughed, getting up. “I should wake up the princess anyway.”
“Why do you call him that?”
“I like it.” Was all I said as I climbed up the stairs.

Heading to my room, I found Alex now sprawled across the mattress and blanket off him. Again. Someone's an active sleeper. Deciding to be an ass, which I usually am anyway, I jumped on the bed making Alex bounce high in the air and yelp awake.

“Jack? Why would you do that!?” He yelled, rubbing sleep from his eyes.
“Needed to wake you up somehow, Princess.”
“Is it time for church or something?” He asked, sitting up.
“Bro, we are not going to church.” I laughed. “It's nearly noon, my friend Zack wants to hang out.”
“Oh...are you taking me home then?” He asked, sounding a little disappointed.
“Um, no? You're coming with me and my friends to hang out too, Princess.” I got off the bed and offered a hand. “Rian already knows you a bit, and I'm sure Zack will warm up to you just fine.”

Alex smiled and took my hand so I could hep him up. Considering he didn't plan to stay the night, I had to dig up some older clothes of my own to let him borrow before we left. I asked if he wanted to shower, and he said he took one yesterday so I ran off to do that. I said he could go downstairs and sit with Rian, maybe get to know him as well before I left. I was quick to shower, dry off, and style my hair before getting dressed. It was then that I realized I forgot my shirt and walked back down the hall to see if I dropped it. I got all the way back to the room without finding it and looked up to be annoyed before seeing Alex there staring at me while sitting on the bed.

Of course, I just had to smirk.

“See something you like, Princess?” I asked, and Alex looked away totally blushing.
“N-no... why are you half naked?”
“Can't find my shirt.” I shrugged and just got a new one from the drawer. “Why aren't you downstairs with Ri?”
“Umm, I wasn't sure what to talk about with him and-”
“Don't be shy, Lex. Rian's nicer than me.” I laughed. “Come on.”

We both walked down and got Rian, who suggested we take his car. I pouted, since I liked riding bike for everything. Plus, it still kind of freaks Alex out and nothing beats having his arms around me tightly at the present time. As we went over, I start texting Zack making sure he had everything ready at the spot. It was just a little clearing in a wooded area, but no one else went there, so it was perfect for my friends and me. He told me he had everything ready to go and was waiting.

It only took us about five more minutes after that to get there. When Rian parked, Alex looked around confused.

“Where are we?” He asked.
“Just on some back road.” Rian answered as we all got out.
“Oh...” Alex mumbled and I threw an arm around his shoulder as we started walking.
“Don't worry, Princess. You'll have fun.” I promised, making Rian scoff. He knew what I was doing, but hey, it's not like he's stopping me.

We quickly walked through the woods, finding the clearly and Zack sitting on one of the many random chairs we brought her over time, drinking some beer. I let go of Alex to go up ahead.

“Yo, Z! Pass me a can.”
“You got it, Jay.” He threw one at me and I was quick to pop it open and take a sip. “Got that other thing?”
“Oh yeah, hey Rian.” He waved, as Alex and Rian showed up. “Who's this?”
“Zack, meet Lex. He's my new bud.” I said, winking and Zack smiled.
“Nice to meet ya, want a cold one?”
“Um..I don't think...” Alex started, and Zack tilted his head.
“Oh, you're a square. Where'd you find him, Jay?”
“Be nice, Z.” I laughed, sitting down. “He's a new kid at our school.”
“Ahh,”

We all soon started talking about random shit, and by we, I mean Rian, Zack and me. Alex awkwardly sat in the chair next to me, as we all drank and joked. Zack happened to mention how he banged a girl in a locker room at school and I slapped him for beating me to that. We were always trying to one up each other in our sex lives. Alex seemed to be getting more and more uncomfortable and finally I said.

“Z, I think Alex needs to relax.”
“You know, Jay. I was thinking the same thing.” He smiled, and got out a box from under his chair.
“Roll or pipe?”
“Better go with rolled.” I said and glanced at Alex, clearly he had no idea what was going on.

Zack got out everything he needed, and started rolling up a joint. He lit it and took a puff first, passing it to me.

“Ahh, this is a good bunch.” He sighed as I took it and inhaled.
“Mmm, that it is.” I looked to Alex. “Wanna try?”
“No.” He said, frowning.
“Oh come on. It's like, a healthier cigarette.”
“I don't smoke those either. This is wrong.”
“Princess, don't be a square.” I smirked and held out the joint. “One try.”
“I said no.” He snapped and stood up walking away.

“Aww, looks like he wasn't having fun.” Zack laughed, and Rian shook his head.
“Jack, you're being to him.” Yet, he was holding his hand out for the joint.
“Hey, kid knew how I was.” I shrugged, handing it to him. “I'll go get him.”

I stood up, and quickly ran after Alex who was stomping away furiously.

“Hey, Princess!”
