Ch. 14
Alisha POV
When I got outside after school I smiled seeing Vlad waiting for me. When I got to him he grabbed me and squished me in a hug.
“Hey, how did school go?” he asked
I pulled back and smiled in his face, “Good” seeing his frown I replied, “Seriously no trouble today at all, well besides being late for class thanks to your little meeting with Brett.” I frowned, “How is he part of the gang if he’s older?”
He handed me my helmet, “Here we’ll go back to my place” nodding I got on behind him.

When we got to his place we settled in front of the television and he wrapped his arms around me.
“Man I’m tired” he groaned switching on the TV
“Well are you going to answer my question?”
He sighed “Brett was my tutorial in juvie I didn’t know he was a gang with how nice the guy was but when I told me that the gang needed a leader someone closer in age that’s when I was all in, of course I knew of the gang since I knew Tunks but Brett you could say started it all” I didn’t say anything because I knew I had my answer.
Sighing I leaned into him, “You want to play a game?” I asked
He looked over at me with a raised eyebrow, “What would that be?”
“Hmm….twenty questions?”
“Ok, I’ll go first?” he said, “Are you nervous?”
“Nervous? Um no”
“Ok you just seem nervous being alone with me”
“Well you are my first boyfriend and we are alone” before he could interrupt, “I’m not saying you’d try anything I’m only saying that it’s a little nerve wrecking for someone like me”
“Ok, your turn”
I thought about it, “Um…what’s your favorite color?”
He smiled, “Black and grey” I nodded, “What’s the worst thing you’ve ever done?”
“I cheated on a test”
He scoffed, “Seriously that’s the worst thing you’ve done?”
I nodded, “Yes, and I don’t do that” he sighed but didn’t say anything, “What’s the most embarrassing thing you’ve done?” I asked
He thought about it, “I think it would be the time that me and Tunks rode our bikes nude for a bet”
I started laughing my butt off, “Wow, you know what’s sad is that I could see you two doing that”
He pulled away but just to look at me with a smirk, “Oh really? You can picture it huh?”
I blushed, “No, I meant…I mean I meant” he laughed and hugged me to his side again,
“I know what you meant Al” I sighed thankful, “So what would be the most embarrassing thing you’ve done?”
“What you talking about I’m always embarrassing myself when I stutter out of nervousness or I just ramble”
“Yeah, I’ve noticed” I hit his shoulder smiling “I’m kidding, but seriously you are really cute when you do that” he said kissing me on my head causing me to blush, “And you’re cute when you blush” he said kissing me on my cheek, “But you’re mostly cute when you make that little whimper moan noise when I kiss you”
“Vlad!” I said exasperated
“I’m sorry but it’s true” I only ended up blushing more but from embarrassment
“God you’re such a guy” I stated
He laughed, “Hey you knew how I am before you agreed to date me”
I nodded, “True”
“I’m hungry” he said after a little bit of silence
“And I need to get home before mom worries too much” I said standing
“Yeah I guess you’re right” he said grabbing my hand and walking to the bike.

When we got to my house I was surprised to see Pearl sitting on my porch talking to my mother.
Vlad and me walked up to them and mom seeing our hands intertwined she smiled.
“So Pearl was asking me if you could go on a camping trip with the group this weekend” mom stated looking at me
I frowned, “I didn’t know anything about it” I said to Pearl and Vlad
“Well now you do, it’s for a group meeting” Pearl said
“Ooo a group meeting what for?” mom asked
“Um…mom…I mean nothing” I stuttered
Vladimir put his arm around me and tried covering up his laugh as a cough.
“I have a feeling you know something I don’t Alisha Marie” mom glared and I knew she was getting suspicious since she used my middle name
“I promise you Allison it’s nothing bad we just like to call hanging out meetings” Vlad stated toward mom
She smiled, “Oh I thought it was code for gang or something” she said relieved
‘Ding ding ding we have a winner’ I thought but instead I said
“No mom me friends with gang people nope defiantly not”
She stood, “well I’m glad to know I don’t have to worry about you. Remember church is Sunday.” Looking at Pearl she asked, “What day you coming back?”
“Sunday morning”
Mom frowned, “Well that means Alisha that you’ll be missing morning so be prepared to go to evening”
“Yes mom” I said when she went inside I turned toward Pearl glaring at her, “Thanks for the invite” I said sarcastically
She held up her hands, “Hey, you being involved rather you want to actually be in the gang or not is for your own safety”
“She’s right you know” Vlad whispered in my ear causing shivers.
‘Why does he have that effect on me just by touching me and talking in my ear?’
“Well I guess I better get inside” I said and turned to hug Vlad who returned it I looked up at him, “I’ll talk to you later”
He winked and turned getting on his bike with Pearl. Which I’m assuming didn’t’ have a ride back. I waved when they pulled out and walked in the house.
“Honey can I talk to you for a minute?” mom yelled from the living room
When I got in she was sewing in the chair.
“Yes mom” I sit down with my feet tucked under me on the couch
“Well about this weekend, is there going to be adults? I forgot to ask your friend Pearl which I didn’t like the ideal of you not telling me about her”
I sighed, “I’m sorry mom I became friends with her and the group through being friends with Vladimir, and as for adults no offense mom but we’re teenagers who is almost 18 or is already 18 heck Howie is bout to be 19”
“Well I just want you to be careful especially since you and Vlad have gotten close”
“Mom”
“So who is this group you talking about?”
“Vladimir, Pearl, me, Tunks and his brother Howie, and Tunks girlfriend Evie and then Layla who don’t like me very much” I stated
“Why?” she asked
I sighed; “Because she’s Vlad’s ex mom ok” I said getting annoyed
“Ok, what about Olivia, is she in too?”
I frowned, “No”
“Well I think you should invite her she don’t have many friends you know so I think you would be a good friend to invite her as well”
I stood, “Ok you’re right I will now I’m going to do some homework, I’ll be down for dinner” I said and made my way to my room.
When my ipod went off I looked and it was from Vlad
Vladbad 89: Hey babe.
I blushed just by the pet name.
‘Man I have it bad’
Al-girl: Hey
Vladbad 89: What I don’t get a pet name?
Al-girl: haven’t decided on one yet. I have a question.
Vladbad 89: Ok. What’s up?
Al-girl: Can Olivia come this weekend too? I know you guys don’t know each other much but she’s my friend too.
Vladbad 89: Well I’ll talk to the gang and let you know tomorrow ok? I know I won’t have a problem if you bring her but it’s just if she comes she’s going to find out about the ‘gang’ so I’ve got to talk to everyone.
Al-girl: Ok, I’m doing homework ttyl J
When I didn’t get a reply I got my homework out and begin working on it.
