It's really late at night, and I can't sleep. I have been awake for a few hours while everyone else is sleeping, just thinking about what happened before with Zac and I. I can't believe I did that to him, but yet I did like it myself, and I know he liked it, so could it be a bad thing? I wonder what he thinks of it all.
I think it did bring us closer. I think we might even be a couple. I mean like we didn't declare it or anything, but we have been doing little couple things before bedtime. Like for instance, while the whole lot of us were watching Titanic before, he was holding me in his arms, and I was leaning against him. Every once in a while he would lightly kiss me on the neck, or blow in my ear. He is so sweet. I think I'm falling in love with a Hanson. I hope he feels the same about me.
I was having the weirdest dream. A purple duck was chasing me screaming "You ate my oreos!!!" I outran it, but somehow it appeared in front of me, and was about to go right for the jugular, when I woke up panting. As soon as I came back to my senses, I immediately remembered the party at Miep's house tonight. It was the first major party of the year, and everyone was gonna be there! We had to go.
I got up and spied Quaker in the corner.
"Quakes man, I just remembered about that awesome party that started an hour ago at Miep's house man, we gotta go!!!!!" I said to her in a very excited voice.
"Oh my gosh man your right! How could we of forgotten that? We must be mental. Well, what are you waiting for? Get them up!"
I ran over to Benji, and she ran over to Zac and we both proceeded to shake them until they woke up.
About a half hour later we were piled in Benji's car. Since he was 18, he had his license already, which made him the only one of us who could drive...legaly. Well anyway, Beano was in the front seat with Benji, and I was in the back with Zac, who was bombarding me with his "I'm not sure we should be doing this." statements. I kissed him to make him shut up. It worked.
"Hi guys! I didn't think you would make it!" our friend Miep said while running up to us and giving us all a hug. She stopped when she got to Zac and stared at him. "I know him from somewhere."
"You would." Benji said "He's a Hanson."
The room suddenly got quiet at the word Hanson. It was a unanimous feeling with our group of people that anything Hanson is pure evil. They think they are the children of Satan. Zac got a really scared look and buried his face in my shoulder. I pet him.
"It's okay guys, he's really cool." Benji said. Everyone gave him a weird look. Benji is the oldest one here, and I have a feeling that Zac is the youngest. Everyone here respects Benji for that, so I have a feeling that they might except Zac. At least I hope they do.
There as a murmur around the room, and then the noise started again. He's in, he's accepted. Zac smiled up at Benji, and suddenly hugged him. Benji patted him on the back and looked like he didn't know what to do.
"So he must the middle one." Miep said.
"Nah, he's the youngest. You know, the cute one." I said back to her, and Zac blushed
"But that can't be, cause the little one is tiny, and acts like an asshole, jumping around everywhere."
"Not true, he calmed down." I said
"What's his name?" she asked me
"Why don't you ask him?"
"Okay, what's your name?" she asked him
"Zac." he said very shyly, looking down at his feet. By now we were sitting on the couch in Miep's living room. Her parents were upstairs sleeping. They were the kind of parents that didn't care about a thing she did. I wish my grandparents were like that. It would make life a whole lot easier.
"Hi Zac!!!! I'm Miep. How old are you? I'm 16." Miep said suddenly in a very good mood since she found out he was a Hanson. That's what's cool about Miep. She can change her mood rather quickly, and she accepts things well.
"Um...I'm 15. Hi Miep." he said still in a shy way. I think he's intimidated by his surroundings, and I don't blame him.
"Hmmm, the booze ain't here yet, that must mean Mattress ain't here either." Benji said while looking around. Ah, our friend Mattress, the teenage lock picker. She's the one that supplies all the parties with the booze. She's not old enough to get it legally, being that she's only 17, but she can pick a lock very well, so she'll go up to the local liquor store, and knock it off. What a life!
"She's not, but she'll be here soon." Miep said, and like clockwork, Mattress came bounding in the door carrying arm loads of Budweisers. As soon as he saw her, Zac got a nervous look on his face.
"What's that matter?" I asked him softly leaning in towards him with my hand on his back.
"Nothing, just never been exposed to anything of these likes before in my life."
"Oh, don't worry." I said to him. "You'll get used to it in a while."
He winced when I said that. Gee, this should be a very interesting night.
Some people call me evil. I don't totally agree with them most of the time, but this time, I can't help but agree. This is a very evil idea that I just cooked up in my pea brain head. I wonder what it would be like to get Zac drunk. I mean, I like him and all, but it would all be in fun. What harm could come of it? I don't mean too drunk, just enough to loosen him up a bit. He is really timid for a boy of his age. I think he has to learn to go with the flow. Your only young once! I say live it up the best you can, while you still have your liver, because by the time we hit 30, most of us won't have one anymore.
I watched as Quaker opened a can of beer and took a drink of it while handing me one. I didn't know what to do. Everyone else here was doing it, so why shouldn't I? They already thought I was a wuss for being in Hanson, so I'm not about to let them think I'm a total wuss. I popped the top and drank it.
About a half hour later (and five beers later on Zac's part), I was restraining a teenage boy with long blonde hair, from jumping up on the coffee table and doing the hula. I had stuffed about three beers down my throat, but I knew when to stop. Zac didn't.
I don't know how I could let him get this out of hand. I think it was an evil plot by the other people here, for their own amusement.
I suddenly lost grip of him, and he jumped on the table and started doing a weird jig.
"Get down here right now Zac!" I hissed at him while pulling on his leg.
"No silly, I'm showing everyone my pretty pretty dancing." he said in a far away voice while almost stumbling right off the table.
"Zacy, if you come down here, I'll give you a special suprise."
"Oooo mommy, I love suprises!" he said while jumping off the table and landing on the couch, inches away from me.
"Okay, go over there and look behind the curtain. You'll see a lot of pretty lights." I said to him while pointing him to the window that faced outside. If he went to go look at the street lights, then he couldn't get into any trouble.
"Okay mommy." He said while stumbling off to the window.
I turned to Mattress.
"Hey, how did you get out of juvie?" I asked her. She was arrested a couple months ago for possession of alcohol.
"Oh, it's easy. I just bribed my guard."
"But I thought you weren't allowed to have any possessions in jail."
"I didn't, I bribed him in a different way." she said while snickering to herself.
"Dude, that's really sick man!"
"It's all in a days work. They don't call me Mattress for nothing."
"Mattress, that's sick."
"I know."
Just then, Benji came up to me.
"Hey dude, we better get going. It's getting late, and we still gotta wake sleeping beauty over there up and get him home before his mommy and daddy start to worry." he said to me while pointing towards Zac who was now passed out in the corner of the room. Great...
We were all sitting in my car on the ride home. well, that is Quaker and I were sitting, Zac and Beano were both kinda laying on either one of us. Quaker was starring off into space and I was concentrating on the road. Quaker sighed and slouched down in her seat.
"What's the matter?" I asked her.
"Nothing. I'm fine. I was just.... thinking." she replied
"About Zac?"
"How did you know?"
"Dude, you can just tell it by the way you two have been acting all night."
"Benji, can I tell you a secret?" she asked me with big eyes.
"Tell me anything man, I'm good at keeping secrets."
She took a really deep breath and looked me right in the eyes. Well, as much as she could, because I was driving.
"Ben, I think I'm falling in love with Zac."
Woah, I didn't expect that. I mean Zac is a great guy, but I would never think he was Quaker's type. I always thought she would fall for the bad type that cuss, have tattoos, and ride motorcycles, not the teenage boy band type. Well, Zac did mention to me that he did have a motorcycle, but I couldn't picture that.
"Do you think he feels the same way about me? You can usually tell these things Benji." she asked me.
"I really don't know man. I can't tell these things."
"Well how did you and Beano know when you loved each other?"
Ah Beano, how I love her so. I really do. She says she loves me too, but I'm still not sure if I should believe her or not. I mean she has been flirting with Zac a whole lot. It may not seem like it, but she really is. Only I can tell. Her way of flirting is acting stupid, and that she has been doing a lot for him. Hence Hanson boy. It really really hurts me when she does that. I need her, but she doesn't do anything to show me that she needs me too. I wish she did.
"Well," I responded to her. "Beans said she knew I loved her when I was passed out at the last rave we went to with Miep and Mattress, and they dared her to kiss me. She said she did, and I smiled while I was passed out."
"Hmmm, do you think I should try it?" she asked me.
"Hey, what could it hurt? This is your golden opportunity, go for it now, while you have the chance."
I looked down at the sleeping boy that was leaning on my leg. He looked so cute. He had his eyes lightly closed, and his lips lightly parted. His hair was spread out all over his face in many differnt directions, so I pushed it away, so I could see his whole face. His hair was so soft compared to my own. It was very thick, yet not heavy, just silky.
I leaned over ever so carefully as to not wake him up (even though I knew well enough that he wasn't waking up any time soon) and pressed my lips against his. It only lasted a few seconds, but it seemed like an eternity to me, which was a very good feeling.
I looked at him, and where his lips were parted, a slight smile now shown. He really did love me back! I feel so special!
I sprawled out with him in the back seat, and put my head on his chest. I lay there for the rest of the ride like that, just enjoying being there with Zac, and my new little secret. I love being in love!
