Chapter 82: Parties!

Parties!

As soon as i opened my eyes, my mother was staring at me in the eye like a ghost, i got startled almost losing it. I wiped my face with hands, my vision blurred then it turned normal again. I sat up immediately. She stood there smiling at my anxiety.

  "Mama! Morning!" I greeted sleepily

  "Morning hero! Did you sleep well?" She slowly folded the sheets of my body. I did not sleep well, how could my mother share the same room with me?! I muttered within. 

  "Very well, Mama! I just hope we don't share the room again!" I said almost rudely. I frowned hopping down from the bed.

  "What's that suppose to mean?" She stopped then she scoffed "l'm your mother not some ragtag girlfriend. I gave you a notable life, man. C'mon!" She reminded, always talking about achievements. I remembered my earlier plan about the party, this should be a final try before Jeff and i maske decisions. My mother is not uneducated or illiterate to not know that my sleepover preparations. I'll try regardless.

  "What are you thinking about rude boy?" She asked after observing that my attention has been drawn away. I sat on the edge of the bed while she stood next to me tightening her robes. Taking off anxiousness and bringing on guts

  "Can i ask you for something? Like....its important to me!"

  "Go on! Even if you want a blank cheque!" 

  "Sounds better! I'll be keeping that offer for another desperate time but right now this is way important....to me!" I emphasised. How could a party or sleepover be more important than a blank cheque? I thought you myself.

  "Wow Kareem, you're startling me honestly." She looked a bit worried.

  "Can i uh...can i..." My face squeezed my face, i concluded that she wouldn't buy this idea. No harm in trying, Kareem. I encouraged myself. I braced up. "Can i do a sleepover at Jeff's coupe?" I waiting patiently while her eyes wandered about in doubts. Maybe she figured that I had an extra plan, which is totally right. Father bumped in like he was searching for something, definitely my mother. I turned away in slight discontent, he interrupted me. He went to her wrapping his arms around her likewise her too then he pressed a wanting kiss on her lips also squeezing her butt cheek. 'Oh dang!' I said underneath my breath then they turned to me in unison. This is disrespectful but they wouldn't consider that because they are parents.

  "Morning Dad!" I said coldly

  'Mornin big man! You took my woman last night, i couldn't stop wishing she was close." He said jokingly while mother blushed slowly rubbing his beards.

  "He wants a sleepover at Jeff's. Should he go for it?" Mother asked father collectively. He shrugs

  "Whatever he wants. Its Jeff. Such a responsible and good kid! I think it's fine. As long as its not some crime party!" He turned to his wife kissing her again. They really want to do some thing crazy, then they should stagger to their room. I thought to myself squeezing my face slightly.

  "Thanks alot. Dad. Mom." I said with a frown

  "You just asked for a sleepover and you're getting mad for that?" Mother asked with a smile while father held into her tightly. What is wrong with this couple? I said within.

  "For crying out loud Mama, y'all are making out in my room! Am i suppose to watch y'all undress in Front of me? That's creepy!!!" I cried out almost pissed off. They turned to each other with faint smiled in guilt. Father kissed her again. I almost ran mad at the moment, what is going on with my parents for crying out loud?! I thought.

  "Can i at least have my room to myself? The room that y'all gave me right from infancy? Please?!" I asked almost taunting but politely. 

  "It pays to be nice!" Mother said as she dragged Dad by the hand as they walked out excitedly. I sighed in relief, i couldn't wait to tell Jeff about it.

I was so too excited to go to school and tell Jeff everything because communicating through the phone wouldn't be enough and Yeesha would eavesdrop and get nosy plus sneaky, she could grinch the whole thing. 

Minutes on,

After giving Yeesha a kiss on her head i headed my way still repeating same old processes, signing autographs and taking pictures. Students and staff wouldn't stop talking about the last photography that was totally unexpected and really compleax, some people were bias and others were comfortable complimenting positively. I do not care about people's thoghts or perceptions about me, all i cared about was being the best guy in possibly everything. I entered the class it was unusually empty, i wondered why and what its cause maybe. I sat on the desk instead, one attitude that i couldn't let go off; i waited patiently for Jeff's arrival taking a glimpse from my wrist watch. The next thing i saw was Lamar and Pixie walking into the class holding hands, i did not want to turn back but i had know who was coming into the class. I did not know what to think but i expected that, he must have told her something or made her feel guilty or inferior about something excruciating. I hated her for being too indecisive. I turned away still looking at my wrist. I waited for about two minutes more while Lamar and Pixie talked in a very low tone which i didn't care to know. She wouldn't stop stealing glances and getting away with it. Immediately Jeff walked in and not just that; he came forth with Zoe beside him holding hands too smiling adorable, does everyone have to remind me that im too rude to have a lovely girl as a pet?! I thought to myself. We shook hands while i rubbed snuggled Zoe's nose as she blushed, Jeff was comfortable anyway. She excused us as she walked out of the class after giving Pixie a distasteful eye contact. I turned to Jeff.

  "Really Hoodie?" I gave a questioning look of slight disappointment.

  "What?! I did not know you were coming this early, man."

  "Where were you! Why were you with Zoe, Jeff?" I asked

  "Oh That! Chill. What's wrong though? You don't care about this activist, do you!" He taunted trying to escape my question but i emphasised. Something illegal went wrong.

  "Thats not an answer? Say it already!" I ordered

He was hesitate and skeptical, his eyes wandered about then blurted. He leaned over then whispered slowly

  "She gave me head!" Then he refrained with content.

My eyes widened a bit, i expected everything but not that. I could control the smile's outburst, i gave him a rough hand shake.

  "You should've said something!!!" We laughed then i continued "You knew we had plans this morning and you used it up for a V huh?" I scolded calmly

  "I couldn't miss this opportunity. Making history before Wrapping up high school, just like you; 30 in a row." He explained then i laughed then we turned serious suddenly.

  "So what's your plan for tonight? Like right now, i got a pass for a sleepover at your house..." I blurted out.

  "...What Kareem? How could you think about a sleepover? Who's going to believe that crap? Ever since we were little, you never cared about a sleepover over or a gaming night so what changed?" He pointed out then he sat on a desk as well looking at my confused and guilty state

  "Can i not honestly want a sleepover with my best dude?! C'mon Jeff, we should not start with this right now!" Insaid defensively.

  "Cool!"

  "Don't just say cool, what's your plan?" I asked him. He shouldn't just look at me hopelessly and lost for words.

  "Its also a sleepover..." He blurted snapping, i interrupted instantly

  "...Jeez Jeff. Why did you think of a sleepover while i did?" I asked in distress

  "Why did you even choose that too? Stop asking me questions, let's sort it out and we're good." Jeff said rightly.

  "There's only one way out."

  "What's that?" He asked curiously. I whispered in his ears

  "...we're sneaking out." Jeff refrained nodding negatively

  "Not my house. We always have a family cocktail party. You know that very well.." He said in distress, it was not a nice idea but we had to improvise. 

  "Just shut up, stupid. " His face squeezed then i apologizd

and continued "We are sneaking out, bro! Ask me how and why? Instead." I requested

  "How and why?" Jeff asked me like i requested

  "Why? Coz, you can't do nothing about it and you simply have no idea. How? We'd go to my house for the intended sleepover, we'd do the security check and off we go." I stopped waiting for his opinions

  "Thats smart! I go with the cons! What if they don't fall asleep or even keep a close eye on us? What if they don't want to sleep early or something?" He asked. I thought of that actually but i have a plan for that

  "We drug them!" I blurted out

  "Jeez! Kareem, are You insane???" Jeff said almost yelling

  "No tell me if i am!" I taunted then continued "Do you have a better plan, if you do bro bring it on. Tic toc! Im waiting" i coaxed

  "That's it! I hope we don't drug no one." Jeff said patting me on the shoulder impressively

  "We would have to if we really need this party dream come true. This is our last chance to make history before graduating. Bro!!" I added reasonably. We were excited hailing each other. After a few minutes while i was trying arranged some books Jeff turned to me with cell phone showing a picture of Darkie and i, this picture of us was really an emotional one and halfway depicting intimacy and romance. Her arms wrapped wrapped around my neck while i held her waist then we looked at each other eyes directly .

  "Explain dummy!" He demanded. I rolled my eyes shoeimg how weary and uninterested i was. I scoffed

  "There's nothing going on between us. We're just close friends needing each other when it matters most!" I stopped

  "How does that make you feel? I'm really not the only benefitting from a close friend." Jeff added defensively. I smiled. He was right about that though.

  "Yours is different."

  "What makes it different?"

  "She gave you head and Darkie never did!" I made my point clear. He turned away and back again.

  "That's not a difference. You'd someday!" Jeff added indignantly. He looked at Pixie and lamar who were still discussing and even laugh inbetween. It provoked me and this forth coming party, I'd make miserable for hanging around my enemy too.

  "Could you also explain that?" Jeff asked tucking his shirt

  "Oh that! She's some piece of trash! I don't care about her." I said shrugging, i couldn't tell hom that I was a angry and jealous.

  "Nah! I'm not buying that crap. Admit that she broke your heart, after acting a saint around you then she acts like the snake again. Zoe would never do this to me, she's spectacular." He said outrightly.

  "Well, like i said i don't care about her and her nut cracker boyfriend." I snapped

  "Oh you mean The generals' son!" Jeff taunted as well both laughed hard causing attention. Lamar came forth immediately, maybe he listened our conversation. He stood like he was going to beat us up, i laughed as his stupidity.

  "Are y'all talking about me or something?" He frowned

  "What if we did, what's going to happen?" Jeff asked

  "That didn't answer my question! Yes or No?" He asked

Then i smiled turning to him instantly

  "C'mon Lamar, just say you're sorry and you desperately need us back...".  I sarcastically added as Jeff answered

  "Exactly Drill!" He concurred. Lamar stood silent getting angry at what i had said minutes ago. Jeff and i took our bags to leave then he said

  "You think i need you both, I've been great lately!"  Lamar blasted as we chuckled instead

  "That's exactly what losers say, they think they rock when they actually don't!" Jeff mocked

  "We both know you need us too bad, I mean you're the least of us in every angle way so why set up bridges over a girl we both kiss?!!" I said as we both walked out laughing at what i said. Pixie ran to her prince charming consoling him, we were quite rude but he attracted such attention to himself after all. That's one of the things i hated about her, she acts like a saint because i can't seem to understand why you should be on both sides of both enemies? I though within. We had lab practicals in chemistry, titration and its mess. Jeff and i were respected and better off without Lamar who takes everything literally and personal like girls behave. We got to the laboratory and eyes were on us then i let out that smiled that made girls drool and made want to be like me. We next to some group of boys that Jeff and i rolled with comfortably, they are rich and other were moderate but it didn't matter to us, we just blended well anyways. We talked about the party and how we wanted it to be.

  "Is Darkie coming too?!" A boy named Todd asked me. We'd never be a private.

  "I think so! She's good at this as well!" I said shrugging

  "Nice pick, bro!" Todd added.

Immediately, the professor entered the laboratory after setting up everything we needed for the two session.

I told Larry that its fine for him to take Yeesha home while i go with Jeff's ride. We drove to his house first to get some clothes like a actual sleepover preparation, all make believe. Since he was the only child, everything was a yes for him but not parties, our parents were against that. His father wouldn't stop embracing and telling us stories about his early life as a teenager and young adult.

  "C'mon boy!" He'd say "I met your mother at a strip club, when she danced for the money to put food on your Abuelo's plate!" He narrated. His grandfather Is a wealthy man now, its almost impossible to believe that he was once poor and helpless. After wasting thirty minutes of time, we were freed at last. We drove to a big designery store for shopping, we couldn't misuse this opportunity to be our selves, we got white sneakers, necklaces, shirts and denim jean denim jackets, we had same tastes so it wasn't hard to choose, no clash of interests as well. We drove to my house immediately and headed straight after sayimg hi to Bella with diverted attention.
