Chapter One

It wasn’t anything new to find Sammie’s room full of kids on a Friday night. The group always contained the same people. Sammie and Drake on the Queen bed, Nadia and Andrew on the spare twin bed, Nick, Alexis, Adam, and Carrie on the bean bags. Chad was usually there laying sprawled out in the middle of the floor, but tonight he had a date, with whom he would not reveal throughout the entire day to anyone.
From the corner all of the furniture was organized in everyone could see the television. The entertainment of the night as usual, was the video Chad took that day. Chad began to videotape the day’s events so they could see again from a different angle everyone’s actions throughout the day. The boys were always messing around and doing things that they later regretted. The girls on the other hand were always doing stupid little things to make the whole group laugh; they competed for attention amongst each other so they were always trying to outdo one another.
“It’s still impossible to believe that was you Sammie.” Drake said laughing as he pulled himself away from her.
“Oh like you have any room to talk Drake!” Sammie said laughing as she pulled Drake back to her.
Quickly as the video kicked on Andrew hushed the two of them and everyone began laughing as Sammie jumped on top of Carrie’s car and began dancing to ‘Low – Flo-rida’. As Sammie began dancing again on the bed Drake tackled her and she started laughing. Turning back to the screen they watched Nadia jump up on the car with Sammie. Within seconds then Drake jumped up onto the car with the girls and began dancing with Sammie. Nadia jumped down and punched Andrew for not joining them and being chicken. Instead Andrew merely kissed her and wrapped his arms around her. For the rest of the song Drake and Sammie just danced on the hood of Carrie’s car.
When the song ended the video cut to them all arriving at Adam’s house. They often just randomly showed up at Adam’s house because he was the only one with a big enough pool. His being an in ground pool that went up to 15ft deep, it was the number one hang out spot for the group. Even though the girls ALWAYS complained when Chad videotaped this part of their day they still laughed through the whole scene.
“Can we please just skip this part!?” Sammie begged.
“Yeah I don’t want to see how fat I am!” Nadia chimed in.
“Sammie for one you have no reason to want to skip this part you looked great. And Nadia, well I’ll leave that one up to Andrew.” Drake argued as he nuzzled Sammie’s neck.
“Yeah about that.” Andrew said as he growled and tackled Nadia backwards onto the bed, “How many times do I have to tell you miss skinny. You are not fat.”
As Nadia giggled and tried to crawl away from Andrew he pulled her back up into his lap and held her in place and kissed her cheek and whispered to her, “I love you just the way you are.”
Let’s go home and get stoned--
“Lexi, you want to answer it?” Sammie teased.
“Why? It’s your phone, why would someone call it for me?” Alexis asked confused.
“Oh, I just thought you’d want to answer the phone when Trent calls!” Sammie laughed as she answered the phone, “Hey Trent! What’s up?”
“Not much Sammie. Just got back from my dad’s. Wanted to know what tomorrows plans were.” Trent said as he kicked at the edge of his bed and he “cleaned” his room.
“Not sure yet. It’s supposed to rain so we were thinking maybe we’d all just chill at my place and play video games or something. You in?” Sammie asked as she took a bite out of a cookie from the pack of Oreos that Nick randomly pulled out of his bag.
He was the food man for the group, he always had the food, or the money to get the food considering he was the only one with a half decent paying job.
“Definitely. But who all is “we”?” Trent choked as he tried to push the pile of crud back under his bed.
“Me, Drake, Nadia, Andrew, Nick, Lexi, Adam, Carrie, Chad, maybe a few others not sure yet.” Sammie said with a smirk on her face as she looked over at Lexi.
“Alright, I’ll give you time to wake up then, see you guys at noon?” Trent said laughing.
“Alright, see you then. Later Trent!” Sammie hung up laughing.
Soon as Sammie hung up the phone Alexis sunk backwards into her seat once more with a deep sigh.
“He definitely likes you Lexi.” Sammie yelled over all the cat calls from the group.
“Would you guys just drop it? God you guys make it impossible to be normal around a guy!” Alexis choked out as she was still trying to get over Sammie’s comment.
“But honestly guys, doesn’t it ever get boring always picking on me?” Alexis asked hoping to get the answer she was looking for.
“Let me think about that…” Sammie said with that same little smile everyone knew too well.
Laughing everyone answered Alexis, “No!”
Groaning and pulling her sweatshirt up over her face to try to hide that she was again blushing Alexis buried herself into the bean bag chair and turned to the television screen just in time to watch the screen switch over to the skate park.
“Shh everyone! Quiet! Drake’s about to fall on his ass!” Andrew said as Drake approached the spine.
“Dude shut the hell up. Not like you landed it either.” Drake threw back in defense.
“So what I was closer than you were man.” Andrew mumbled as the camera switched to him going over the spine and bailing.
“Yeah, if you say so.” Drake mumbled back as Jack landed the spine sketchy.
“Now that kid gets some wicked air.” Nick added as Adam cleared the spine.
“What can I say?” Adam said with a shrug. He’d only been skating since he was 7.
