The Forest That Devours [Landoscar]

꧁~𝕮𝖍𝖆𝖕𝖙𝖊𝖗 𝕺𝖓𝖊~꧂

July was finally here. Lando has waited so long for it. No more school for two months. No more early alarms, and two months of fun and parties. Yeah, the summer of his dream. With Max, George, Alex, Daniel, and the others, they have already planned their entire holidays. It will be the best summer of his life, and he couldn't wait. They are even going to meet a friend of Logan. His name is Oscar, and apparently he's from Australia. Lando always had a thing for the Australian accent. He hoped Logan's friend looked cute, it would make his holidays even better and entertaining.
Speaking of friends, his phone buzzed as he was staring at his ceiling, not quite zoning out but on the verge of it, too lazy to get up. He groaned, and picked up the call. It was Daniel. Of course it was. He was always the one to get everything ready for the hangouts and parties, since he was a year older. Lando was the youngest from the group.

"Yo Dan what's up ?"

"Hey Lan ! We're going to the beach with the team, my dad let me borrow his mini-van. You're up to come with us ?"

"The beach ?! mate it's one hour away..." complained Lando in an exaggerated sigh.

"Oh come on ! You're always up to push everyone in the sea !"

"ugh you're right. Fine, I'm in"

"Perfect. I'm at your house in five minutes-" he got interrupted by a voice, but Lando couldn't tell who it was. " Yes Pierre I did buy the beers ! Jesus. This little bitchy rat." Lando chuckled at his friend's remark, as he was already packing his stuff. "You sure your parents will let you get out though ?"

"Of course. Pretty sure they would prefer that than me staying in my room and playing video games. And especially after... last year. Logan's friend will be with us or he's coming later during the week ?"

"Uh, Logan told me he was joining us later, so I guess he'll be here yeah. Why, already in love because he's Australian ?"

"Ha ! If I was falling in love just because of a nationality, I would already be head over heels for you" Lando teased with a laugh, as he was trying to find clean clothes in the mess that was his room. One day maybe, he will clean it up.

"Wait, you're not ?" Daniel exaggerated his outrage, and Lando laughed once again.

"You're too old anyways."

"What ? hey I'm just-"

"Anyways, see ya mate, gotta finish to get ready."

"We're here in five, little bastard," Lando chuckled.

"Alright perfect !"

Lando hung up, and kept fighting with his room to find some decent and clean clothes. In the end, he gave up and chose an old grey band tee that was probably from his dad, and neon green and black swim shorts. Yeah, it'll do the job. He then put a towel in a bag with way too many key chains, and some dry clothes. With those guys ? You never know what could happen. He then went to his bathroom to brush his teeth, and didn't even try to do his hair. Curls are such a nightmare to style, he is not fighting with them today.

When he got down, he received a surprised look from his parents, who were doing some cleaning. Lando shrugged, and told them he was going out with his friends. Not knowing when he would come back. He was almost eighteen, they were more ok with him going out than last year or the year before. Daniel was here anyways, he could do anything as long as he was here. He grabbed something to eat on the table, and left his house. Daniel arrived at the same time with his mini-van, music blasting from the speakers.

Yeah, it is going to be the best summer of his life.

George opened the lateral door, and screamed at him to get in. Lando didn't wait a second, and jumped into the car. He was ready to live a chaotic day at the beach. George friendly hit his shoulder, and Lando smiled back at him. He greeted everyone, as they were driving to the beach, already screaming the music and joking. This will be their next everyday life, and people in Midtown Fall should be worried. Because they are going to make sure this will be unforgettable for everyone. All of his friends are moving away at the end of the summer for their studies, so this is even more a must.
