"Can you believe it?" Claire began "Just a couple of days left, and we're graduating"
"I can't believe that, after years of friendship— since 6th grade, btw— and this is the only time we're actually gonna be separated from each other" Kenzie said as she looked at us and pouted her lips. Me, Claire, and Kenzie gushed and began hugging each other.
"There's still the graduation party. We're gonna drink our asses off and get so drunk, and it's just gonna be the four of us like it always has been, and we're gonna enjoy the last moments as seniors together" Mitch said before she grabbed each of our faces and kissed our cheeks, earning some hoots from guys who were passing by.
"So tonight?" I asked
"Tonight" Mitch said.
And we partied that night. And got drunk. And so fucking wasted, we had no idea how we were gonna get home. Or how we got home.
Because by morning, I had woken up woozy, and yet I was already in my room.
The first thing that came to my mind was my phone, and as I looked at my bedside table, my phone was there, making me mumble a 'whatthefuck'.
I took my phone and scrolled through my messages, and sure enough, my conversation with Luke was open, with me drunk texting him at 5am, telling him I was drunk af.
Well, that explains how I got home then.
I took a deep breath and went back to sleep. And by the time I woke up again, it was already 4pm.
I headed downstairs and saw Luke in his pjs, eating cereal as he watched TV.
"I took you home last night. You and your friends. You were hella drunk" Luke said, not even bothering to look up as I passed by.
"Hmm" was all I could say before I headed towards the kitchen and began looking for food.
I know. You're probably wondering why I'm not looking for aspirin or why I'm not hungover.
Well, that is because I've been so used to drinking shit ton amounts of alcohol that I already have high alcohol tolerance.
"Whatcha looking for?" Luke asked
"Food" I answered as I went through the cupboards. "Where's mom and Dave, by the way?"
"I honestly don't know" Luke answered "I just woke up and they weren't here"
I sighed and just grabbed my cereal box, grabbed a bowl and the milk carton from the fridge, dug its contents in the bowl and headed towards the breakfast bar.
"You okay? Or hungover?" Luke asked as he sat down beside me.
"Yeah. I'm fine. Not hungover" I answered as I put a spoonful of cereal inside my mouth.
"You don't look fine, Kyls" Luke asked. I looked at Luke and sighed.
"Justin and I... we had a fight last night" I answered
"Why? What happened?" He asked as he scooted closer to me and faced me.
"It's about college" I answered "I told him I still don't know what I was supposed to do, and told him I was planning on not going to college for a semester, then he got pissed— like really pissed. I got pissed and broke up with him, and we haven't talked since then"
Luke pursed his lips and looked away for a while.
"Look, Kyls" he began "Yesterday was just, a really bad day for him. His car got scratched, his dad got mad at him for something small..."
"Well, no wonder" I said "That still doesn't excuse him for being such an ass"
"Yes. I know" Luke said "It'll be fine" he added as he began stroking my back and we sat there in silence.
That is, until he opened his big mouth.
"So. You guys are over, huh" oh boy. Here we go.
"Luke. Just because we broke up doesn't mean I get to sleep with you again" I answered so fast it was as if those words naturally rolled out of my mouth.
"Come on" Luke whined "One last time"
"Luke! No!" I answered "Wouldn't that be gross? It would be like you're sleeping with Justin."
Luke pursed his lips and began tapping his chin
"You know, now that I think about it, I still really don't care" Luke said, making me groan.
"Still no" I answered sternly
"Oh come on!" Luke whined "I mean, what else are we supposed to do then?"
I pursed my lips, before an idea popped into my head and a smile formed on my mouth.
"Come on" I said as I grabbed Luke's arm and pulled him back to the kitchen.
"Oooh. Kitchen sex. Kinky" he said as he let me drag him towards the kitchen
"Still not fucking you buddy" I said, before I hear him mumble a 'dammit'.
"So. What do you have in mind then?" He asked as he leaned on the doorframe. I looked around until I spotted the oven tray and took it out.
"Let's make pizza" I said as I held the tray on top of my hands and flashed Luke an innocent smile.
Luke just cocked his eyebrow up in amusement.
"You want us to make pizza?" He asked
"Yeah" I answered sarcastically
"You know, there's this thing called pizza delivery. It's where you call a pizza place, place your order in, and in 30 minutes, your pizza's here." Luke said, making me roll my eyes "That's like, a thing, so why don't we do that instead?"
"Because, you idiot" I began "Not only are we gonna save money making our own pizza, but also we're bored as fuck right now. So unless you have an idea as to what we could do, besides fucking, then I suggest you start taking out the flour and all the ingredients and put this on" I said before throwing him an apron then winked at him.
We soon began making the pizza. I made the dough, and as soon as that was done, we both began putting in our desired toppings. Of course flour was thrown occasionally at each other that as soon as we had placed the pan inside the oven, we were both half covered in flour.
As soon as the timer dinged, Luke took the hot tray out of the oven and long story short, we were both munching on pizza on the island while we waited for the other batch to cook. That was how hungry and bored we were.
"So" I began as I took a bite out of my pizza "Any plans for college?"
