The Un-Named
Chapter 1 Part 8.5
Soon enough we were walking down the fire escape and running towards the woods, until one of the girls fell and someone behind us started to giggle. I hear Kenzie shushing and scolding them all. The girls quiet down and we keep going, entering the woods and walking towards the very faint scent of burning wood.
"Khloe!" Rissa said, waving me over to her.
I run back over to her left side and fall into step with her and Georgina, who's on her right side. "This way towards The Ruins, the other way to where we catch the limo. Yes?"
"Yes," Rissa and Georgie said in unison. The three of us kept walking with a group of some girls I don't recognize and guys I don't remember coming with.
"Khloe, right over there." Georgie said, pointing a little farther up. The three of us smiled at the sight of the flames from the fire pit, then we all quickened out pace from walk to run to get to The Ruins.
"Girls!" Brett sang from one side of the fire. He's standing on a log, motioning for Rissa, Georgie and I to walk faster. When we made it over to him, he handed the three of us Coronas. "Over there," He pointed to another side of the sunk in land where a group of large, muscular guys were hanging out and cheering. "There's a keg stand. I don't like them, personally, but my football team does. Khloe, you need anything just tell me,"
"Oh back off, Brett," Georgie said laughing, me joining her.
"Khloe look to the back," Rissa nodded towards a group of guys I can barely see through the flames. The I realize it's Timmy, Josh and Dash.
Brett noticed where we were looking, "Yeah, I'll be back there in a bit. You three run along and I'll catch up in a bit. Cool?" He walked away before we could answer and went on to some girls in very low cut shirts and short shorts.
"They are a group of girls who like to dress slutty. And they try to steal everyone's boyfriend's. But we have our own deal with them; we avoid them, they avoid us. Simple." Rissa explained as we walked over to the guys.
"Evening ladies," Dash greeted us. "Anyone know where Kenzie is?"
"Calm down, babe. I'm always close." Kenzie said, walking up from behind us. She walked over with Charlotte and sat down next to Dash. Charlotte sat next to Kenzie and Timmy, who's been smiling at me since I walked over. Rissa shoved me towards Timmy and I sat down next to him.
"Khloe, Khloe, Khloe," Timmy said smiling. I smiled with him, realizing how nice his voice sounds when he says my name. "How are you on this fine evening? I'm guessing pretty good since there's a bit of sparkle in your eyes."
"Yeah, well I'm doing pretty good. It's a nice night with my classmates by a fire and some alcohol. Yup, this is definitely normal for me."
"Even fire?" He asked, sounding surprised.
"Oh yeah," I laughed to myself thinking of some old memories. "Even though it was New York City we still had some fires. Fireplaces all the time and then bon fires on the beaches in the Hamptons. Always a good time."
"So does that mean there's some crazy nights tonight needs to live up to?" Timmy asked.
"Oh yeah. But anything could happen and make it memorable on it's own."
"You do have a point. Something like getting caught out here would be memorable but bad. We can't be known as the class who blew the cover of generations who partied out here."
"Very true. Now what normally goes on out here?" I asked.
"Well, it's a bit like Vegas, partly because the superiors can't know. What happens at The Ruins, stays at The Ruins. It does get crazy."
"Has anyone fallen into the fire?" I asked jokingly.
"No. Not yet. Hope not. That would be really bad." Timmy told me. "People do hook up. Then afterwards for them it's awkward."
"Speaking from experience?"
"No. Not yet. And I hope it wouldn't be awkward after." He said, looking directly at me. Then he laughed. "I'm totally joking. I'm not like that at all."
"That's good. But if I do remember correctly you owe me."
"Oh do I?" He asked.
"Yes, you said you would tell me about yourself and you never have."
"I apologize for making you wait," He smiled, "Well, I play lacrosse and I'm an Eagles fan,"
