As the bell rang and the class ended, I stood up from my seat at the back, the last bench
I grabbed my bag quickly and ran toward the exit
Today was a special day,March 25th, the day I finished high school and my birthday,a party was waiting for me
Running toward the school grounds, I remembered something,I stopped in front of a classroom and peeked inside,he was there, also hurrying to leave
"Kael, are you ready?"
He answered
"Yeah"
"Zeven, we'll be late" he said, looking at his watch
"Let's race, whoever gets to the car first must give the loser a challenge that he can't..."
I stopped mid sentence and ran before he could even respond
"Hahaha!"
It wasn't the first time we did something like that, I once made him score an own goal in a football match,I still remember how everyone was furious, throwing everything they had at him, some even ran after him, but the bastard is fast, they couldn't catch him, after the chaos ended, as revenge he made me run around the school in only my boxers.
"Haha"
I was laughing while running, thinking about the good memories
After some minutes, I arrived at the parking lot in front of the school,I stopped in front of a black Mustang and sat on it while waiting for Kael
After one minute he arrived,a little angry
"You ran before explaining the challenge, you bastard!"
He said in a loud, defeated voice, still trying to catch his breath
"But I did…" I said, trying not to die from laughing
"Anyway,where are the others?" he asked, now serious
"Hm, I don't know,I'll call Matthew"
I took my phone out of my pocket and scrolled quickly through my contacts
I called him and he answered after few seconds
"Where are you, Matthew?"
After a few moments, the call ended
"He's waiting for us at Raven's with Dak and Ozias"
"Do you want to change before heading there?"
"Yeah, I think I'll melt if I stay a little longer in these clothes on me" Kael said, making a fake scary face
"Heh,as if the sun can melt that brain that's already ash" I said, opening the car door
"This bastard..." he muttered, staring at me like he could kill me with his eyes,then he sat beside me in the front seat
Vroom
I sped up fast
We arrived at his house, which was ten minutes away from mine, I didn't leave, it would take too long to drive away and return before heading to Raven's
After a while he came back down, ready, and we drove toward my house
When we arrived, I waited a minute until the garage door opened, I parked the car inside and got out
"Bang"
I closed the car door
"Come, Kael"
We went inside, Kael went straight to the fridge, took a beer, and drank
"Gulp"
"Be fast" he said afterward
"I know" I replied, then headed upstairs
In front of my room's door, I opened it and entered
Everything in my room was black,I don't like flashy colors.
To the right side was my bed, big enough for two, he bedsheets were also black, on the left was a door to the bathroom, next to it was my closet, not too big, not too small, in the corner between the closet and the window on the opposite wall was a large mirror, In front of the window there was a big table with nothing on it
I went into the bathroom, washed myself, and after a few minutes came out to choose what to wear
"What to wear today?"
"Hmm"
I looked through my clothes for a minute, then chose a black sleeveless t-shirt and long black jeans, not too tight, not too loose, i grabbed a normal pair of boxers and a white pair of sneakers.
After dressing up, i looked at myself in the mirror, thinking again how perfect I am, 190 cm tall, hair black as the night tied in a man bun, a muscular body like a greek god's,on my right arm I had a flame tattoo that reached the right wing on my chest, burning part of it, the tattoos were black as coal, my eyes were a deep blue, like two sapphires
"Perfect"
I smirked, then headed toward the door
"Oh, I forgot the most important part"
I returned to my closet, took a black bottle of perfume, and sprayed once on my neck and once on my shirt
When I finally finished getting ready, I left my room and went downstairs
"Gulp"
"So fresh" I said, looking at my beer,then I saw Zeven on the stairs, coming
"You finished?"
"Yeah"
"Do you want to do something before leaving?"
I asked Zeven
"No, let's go" he said
I grabbed another beer from the fridge, drank it all, and we went to the garage and got inside the car
After half an hour, we arrived at Raven's
Raven's is a big place,a pub with a large parking lot on the building's left side
We got out of the car and headed inside
There was a pleasant atmosphere and beautiful view, round black tables, lamps on the ceiling, red everywhere, giving the place a seductive vibe, in the back was a pool table and a door next to it, the bathroom, on the right side were seating arrangements with sofas against the wall and a table in the middle, on the left side was the bar with the barman and several high chairs
I looked around searching for them, but Kael saw them before me
"There they are!" he said, pointing to the last seats at the back, right beside the pool table
We went to them
"Happy birthday!"
"Brother" Matthew congratulated me as he hugged me
"Thank you, brother" I replied, putting my arm around his neck, smiling
"How are you, Ozias?"
"Good,just bored"
"No problem, brother,tonight is gonna be fun" I said, smiling like a mischievous child
"I bet on that" he said back
"Happy birthday"
"Yes, happy birthday!" said Dak, jumping onto my back
"Ugh"
"Hahaha!"
We all started laughing
"Thank you again, guys"
"Hey, there's no need for thanks between us brothers"
"Let's sit down"
"What, you already want to drink, Kael?"
"No, Ozias"
"But I'm tired" he complained, then sat on the sofa
"What? Did Zeven make you do something again?" Matthew asked, raising a brow while smirking
"Yeah, this bastard made me race with him,whoever loses must accept a challenge from the winner"
"What was the challenge?" asked Ozias, Kael, and Dak at the same time
"Hahaha!"
Matthew and I started laughing with tears in our eyes at their reaction
After a minute I calmed down and said
"Oh, right, i forgot about it"
I saw a sweat drop fall from Kael's face
Please, not here, not this time,he thought, looking at me and I understood
"Okay, I'll let you go this time" i said
"Yes! Yes!" he replied happily in a loud voice, but not too loud
'Just you wait, It'll be fun later'
He will do it, I told Matthew and Ozias with my eyes
They understood and nodded
"Anyway, Matthew, let's go buy some drinks"
"What do you guys want to drink?" Matthew asked
"You choose" Dak said
"Yeah" Kael and Ozias agreed
"Alright" I said, then went with Matthew to the bar.
