Higher Stakes [Strings: Part 1]

Chapter 5: A little bit of fun

Playing random songs on the radio, she pushed the next button for the 7th time that night and they were listening to Lady Gaga’s Just Dance. “I love this song, perfect for a little dancing.” Selena said swaying her shoulders a bit but keep her hands on the steering wheel.

“Keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road please.” Demi said. She was surely not in the mood for a little dancing. She sighed. “Where are we going anyway? Thought us just going to stay at home and hang out.”

“Not anymore.” Her best friend replied, turning the wheel to the left driving to the corner of the road. “We are going out and enjoy life. That is what we will do.”

Demi leaned back in the passenger seat and sighed some more. “But I don’t want to enjoy myself, especially right now. Just turn back and go home.”

“No!” Selena protested. “We are going to have fun whether you like it or not.” Turning to another corner. “Please Demi, lighten up will you?” Breathing out. “It is not the end of the world.”

“In my world, it is.”

“Strike!! Ah ha!”

A loud roar filled up and echoed the bowling alley which make all heads turned and curious to find out what had happened that cause the holler. At the furthest lane of the Bowling Alley, heads were turning over to where a young man jumping up and down and doing the ‘sprinkler’ followed by the ‘running man’.

He was jumping from the plastic chairs, rising up his arms in the air swinging them around his head and then jumped back down literally shaking his booty.

Unlike him, the others were turning their heads away. They were trying to get connected to the embarrassment done by David Henrie. “Beat that now suckas!”

The girls rolled their eyes. One of them sat next to Bradley once again and said, “Damn you and your-“

“I get it!” he replied, quite annoyed by the whole game now. “Don’t waste your breath.” Sighing, he stood up and walked away from the group for a while, only to be followed by Nicole in the process.

 “Bradley.” She called, grabbing his arm; she pulled him around and added, “Didn’t mean it like that, I’m sorry.”

Interrupted again with another cheers from the team guys’ captain and adding heat to the mess, another routines of silly dances; David emerged victorious with 3 strikes to zero.

“He’s really getting on my freaking nerve. Please make him stop for God sake.” Nicole begged. “This supposed to be fun and I’m not getting any.”

“Taking fun from him is like taking a candy from a baby, he’ll cry like one too.” He said. No humor intended there. Sighing, he continued, “let him have all the fun.”

Nicole crossed her arms, not liking the idea. She turned her head over to their lane and back to him. “Still not liking it.”

He shrugged. “It’s out of my control.” Nicole sighed and let her shoulder fall. But suddenly lifted up again when she heard those exciting words coming out of Tiffany’s mouth.

“Selena and Demi are joining us! We’re a whole now and we are so kicking their butt!” the blonde young woman cried out, can’t help herself jumping in excitement.  She quickly grabbed Nicole’s arm and pulled her back to their lane to carry on with their bowling match.

Bradley stood there and thought, “I thought Selly got that dinner? Hmm.” Few blinks later, two teen girls joined the girls’ group. They were welcomed just fine by the girls and they were planning out simple yet evil plans to beat out the guys.

Moving in close back to their lane, Bradley keep his eyes on his best friend, Selena, who had her arm around Demi’s shoulder while contemplating devious plan of victory. He admired her look for tonight; simple loose fit blouse and a pair of black jeans and high heels swinging on her shoulder. Her long wavy brown hair compliments her complexion.

However, another sight set him froze. The person next to his best friend was the girl who had his boyfriend on rampage threatening to set an innocent guitar on fire.

She was wearing something was different than what Selena was wearing. Her hair was halfway curtaining her pale looking face. Black blouse with long pair of jeans, she holds herself perfectly. Standing there with one hand clasped against her left arm, she looked away from her group for a moment and let her eyes roamed the place.

Bradley froze when she was looking straight at him with nothing shown on her face. He doesn’t know what to do or how to react so he just does the generic wave and an awkward smile. That was weird.

But… she smiled and waved back. Her face seems to light up a bit.

He was flipping there for a second. Wow.
