afternoon delight

"What up!" Adam was trying to sound cool when he met up with Eli after school. He was about to get into his old black death machine.

"You know, rock'n my world one study hall at a time." He took his earbuds out of his ears. "So you're looking chipper. I guess." He winced.

"Just waiting to see you." Adam grinned.

"What? You going gay on me?" Adam winced. They got in the black tank. Eli started it up on the third try.

"No." Adam winced. They were best buds. He didn't have to share everything with him. Besides, Adam wanted to see this through with Clare. Maybe they'd be more than friends. Maybe she could see who the best boyfriend would be. And it would be Adam, hands down.

"So, you bring some cash?" Usually, Eli had the goods on him already. Adam had never actually seen Eli's drug buddy. Just then he turned in to the mall and they strolled in to the cinemaplex. Soon enough, good old B showed up. And she was making a total connection with Eli.

Adam winced hard. She would be the one selling the pot or whatever. Why didn't he know this, already?

"Do you really trust her?" Adam couldn't help but ask when Eli came back.

"Relax, honey." Eli almost laughed at him.

"What if its total shit? You know." Adam did not trust B.

"I'm not saying she's my honeybunny, but she knows her stuff, and she wants to keep her customers happy and coming back for more. She's a really fruit machine, you know what I mean?

"No." Adam shook his head, but Eli hung on to him as if they were best buds. It wasn't long until they made it down by the rocks by the river.

Eli found a spot on the grassy knoll. He sttreched out with the lit little cigarette. He was getting high already while Eli was trying to sit Indian style.

"Look, just take that shitty bandaid of yours off and breath in some this heavenly shit." He told him while he took another hit. "Can't you just be free, man?"

Adam pressed his lips tight. It would be liberating to let her boobs out of this contraption, but she kept hoping one of these days, she'd take the wrap off and she'd have accomplished what she'd started. There would be nothing there but man tits.

"Why does it bother you?" Adam asked after taking a hit.

"It doesn't." He gave her a stare. "You just can't be you, can you? You'll always be hiding, won't you."

"What's that suppose to mean?" Adam swelled a frown.

"Just an observation, my friend. Just an observation." He handed back the little cigarette of weed.
