The air whipped past our faces as I drove sixty down Havensmill Rd. toward my friend Hallie's house. With me was my best friend Kail, who had just gone with me to a church dinner. Kail was an awesome guy. He was about 6'2 and had an amazing wrestler's body that wasn't too bulky but very toned. He also had piercing blue eyes and a smile that melted all your cares away, which matched his amazingly kind personality and gentle heart. I loved the guy liked a brother because we had been close friends since the sixth grade, so when I asked him to go to this church thing with me, of coarse he said he would. Neither of us were fans of church outings but it was free food at P.F. Changs and dessert at the Cheesecake Factory. So I put on my "I'm Straight!" personality and he acted like he was a virgin and that he and his girlfriend didn't have sex before I picked him up.
I passed the intersection of Havensmill and Grant Rd. and began to slow down now. A massive white house with a long, paved driveway dotted with lampposts came quickly into view in the twilight of the setting sun. There were also about fifty cars too. I eased onto the clutch and the break as I descended the hill and at the bottom I turned into her driveway, parking next to a massive yellow Hummer that belonged to my friend Steve, a very funny guy. Almost immediately I heard the loud sounds of splashing and laughter from behind the house. Kail and I got out and made our way through the back gate to the swimming pool where all my friends were.
The greeting Kail and I received was so loud that you would've that we were celebrities. In that, I guess you could say we were. Kail was Prom King and voted Hottest Guy in our class. I was voted Most Social and was President of the Student Council. So, yeah, we were pretty well known.
"Why hello there, handsome?" I turned to see Hallie walking towards me. Hallie was a beautifully tan girl who was about 5'9 and very lean and you always had a great time when you were with her. She came up and gave me a hug.
"How are you, hun?"
"I'm just fantastic, thanks for asking! And Kail, how are you sweetie?"
"I'm good." He also had a deep and very masculine voice.
"Good, good. Are you two going to swim?"
"I dunno, I brought my swim trunks but I don't think Kail brought his?"
"I didn't but its alright, I don't really want to swim."
"You can borrow some of Clay's if you want?" Hallie offered. Clay was her little brother, but he was just about as tall and big as Kail was.
"Alright." He said. She took his hand and followed her into the house.
"Lane!" I heard my friend Mal call from the pool. She was next to my friends Paul and Steve. She was jumping up and down in the water motioning me over.
"Hey! How are you, Mallory?"
"I'm just peachy, how are you Lane?"
"I'm peachy myself."
"Are you getting in?" It was Paul, a very lean and tan soccer player I had become good friends with my junior year.
"I think so. Hallie took Kail into the house to get him some swim trunks so I think I'm gonna get mine on and get in."
"Cool. Well, go change! It feels great in here!"
"Yeah, dog, it's awesome!"
"What's up Steve?"
"Nothin' much, bro, just chilling here man."
"Nice. Well, I'm gonna change."
"Ight. See you in a minute!"
I left them just as Kail returned with his borrowed swim trunks on.
"You getting in?"
"Yeah. I'm gonna go out to the car and change. I will be back in a sec."
I don't have the best body. I mean I lift weights and do abdominal workouts all the time but I have a slight bump to my stomach. Nothing too bad. But I'm like a girl when it comes to my body. I want my body to look like one of those Abercrombie and Fitch models. But, I won't. So, anyway, every time I go swimming, I get a little self-conscious about my body. It really isn't that bad. I have muscular arms and a firm chest and muscular legs but I dwell on my small belly. And the cheesecake I ate doesn't help my thoughts. But, its whatever. I take off my shirt and trade my khaki shorts for my swim trunk and head back for the pool.
The water felt amazing. It had to be at least 80 degrees and the water felt very clean as it moved past my body. There had to be at least fifty people in the pool. I quickly swam my way over to Mallory, Paul and Steve.
"Lane! When did you get here?" Behind me came a voice most people found annoying, but as much as I acted like I did, I loved. It belonged to a guy named Kody. He was a blond haired guy I lifted with after school with Paul. He was about 6'0 and had a beautiful soccer body that I wanted to do very bad things with. His skin was pulled tight against his shoulder, chest, and abdomen; the muscles were popping and very firm. He also had deep brown eyes and freckles across the bridge of his nose and a quirky smile that I liked. However, most people found him annoying because he said very stupid and insulting things all the time just to try and piss them off. He was also a Class A dueshbag. But he had ADHD and I knew he was really just a very hurt human being. Moving on.
"I got here a little bit ago, bud."
"Why were you so late? The party started like three hours ago!" he also tends to be very loud when he talks. God, he was cute though.
"I had a church thing."
"Oh, well, you staying for the bonfire afterward?"
"I don't know. I'm Kail's ride and I don't know how long he wants to stay."
"Then just take him home and come back."
