I walk towards the skate park and start waving. I keep waving and walking until I reached the skate park and then made a sharp left where an abandoned hotel stood and my 2 best friends sat. So let me introduce you, my fellow readers, to my friends. First there is Jacob Conner, an average height, dark haired, blue eyed individual. We met four years ago when our teacher set us as lab partners. At first we pissed each other off all the time since we never seemed to agree on the procedure of the experiment.
One day during a chemistry lab session we had to add metals to water and acid to learn about the reactivity of metals. For some reason Jacob got confused over part of the procedure, he was a very doubtful person, and during our argument I swung my hand and dropped all of the metals as well as the bottle of acid and water. Me, being the studious type, knew that this was not a good thing. I grabbed Jacob and ran out of the lab whilst yelling “IT’S GONNA BLOW”. Everyone ran out, then we shut the door and we all headed towards the window of the class room. The metals started reacting with the acid and water forming a mixture of flames, sparks and volcano like eruptions with flames spewing out from the sides. It was so beautiful I almost cried. After that we got detention, since we couldn’t clean the class room since well it was all covered in acid and water. Me and Jason became friends that day through our love of explosions. Turns out he also thought it was the most beautiful thing he ever saw.
Next to Jacob was my other best friend, Alexandra White (although she prefers being called Alex by her friends since her parents call her Alexandra….. she doesn’t like them). We met two years ago during recess. It was the first day of school and me and Jacob went to the cafeteria to find some seats. As we were walking around the cafeteria we saw a crowd forming, and being social animals we went to check it out. We pushed through the crowd and when we made it to the front. In front of us we see two girls, one with long dark hair, brown eyes and dark clothed (thats Alex) and the other girl was dressed as if she were going to a ball or prom. From the looks of it Alex was making fun of her cause she was overdressed for school. Honestly we both agreed with what Alex had to say but we knew it was wrong so we headed over to Alex:
Jacob: “Hi there I don’t know if you noticed but you are kind of bulling another human being”
Alex: “Umm yeah kind of know what I’m doing”
Jake: “Well can you stop”
Alex: “Yeah I can, but I won’t”
Jacob: “Okay so I’m going to stop you now”
Alex: “I’d like to see you try. Just keep walking skinny”
At this point the whole cafeteria seemed to be interested.
Jake: “Ok um can I talk to you in private for a sec”
Alex looks confused and starts to walk towards me.
Jake: “Look I know you got a point and what not, I mean that is a bit too much what she is wearing. Anyways I'm assuming your having a bad time or something but you really don't need to take it out on that girl over there she is actually quite nice I'm sure she is trying to make a good impression, point is you don't seem the bullying type since well every bully picks on me at some point. So if I were you, I would apologize I'll even come with you. That sound cool?”

Jacob starts looking at me as if to tell me "ARE YOU NUTS. DO YOU WANT TO START A FIGHT". Alex on the other hand gives me a stare as if she is in shock for a few seconds. She then blinks rapidly as if coming back to reality and responds:
“Okay.... yeah.... sounds cool”
So we headed next to the girl and Alex apologized. The girl was really cool about it and accepted her apology and the crowd dissolved into nothing. Alex then turns to me and says:
“You seem alright. Want to hang out sometime?”
Jake: “Sureeeee we usually met up at the abandoned hotel next to the skatepark sometimes, Fridays at 8 for sure”
Alex: “I’ll see you then”
Jake: “Later”
She walks off leaving me and Jacob just staring.
Jacob: “I think she has a crush on you”
Jake: "Shut up"
And now you know so yeay. I go to sit next to them. I’m still waving:
Alex: “Stop it”
Jake: “L ok. So how was school?”
Alex: “I was held by my History teacher. Apparently teachers cares if you pay attention or not. Well he just let me off with some advice”
Jake: “What did he say?”
Alex: “Pay attention”
Jake: “Great advice at least he didn’t give you a 1000-word essay”
Alex: “Sucks to be you”
Jack: “Well aren’t you just a ray of sunshine”
Jacob: “More like a black hole”
Alex gives him a threatening look. Jacob's eyes widen and looks away. Here is the thing, even though they are my best friends, Jacob and Alex never really got along. It’s probably since Jake is always happy and is always acting goofy. Alex on the other hand is quite gloomy and serious. That’s why I like them they are two extremes although I’m pretty sure they both got a serious side and a goofy side.
Anyways we talked a bit more with Alex gives a few more stares at Jacob and my trying to give both of them the same amount of attention. Jacob was ranting on about how he can't wait till he can stop studying science in general including chemistry. Alex just kept reminding him he still has a while to go which just bummed Jacob. After a while Alex said:
“So I’m bored of making Jacob's life misreable. Hmmmmm you know what we should do?”
Jake: "What should we do?" Alex: "Go to a bar and get wasted" she replied with a grin forming on her face.
Jacob: “Sure let’s just turn 21 and oh wait we can’t”
Jake: “Ok yeah lets do that”
I take out three ID cards that just turned us all 21.
Alex: “Sweeaat time to get drunk”
Jacob: “Well we finally agree on something”
Jake: “Let’s go”
We head off to a bar which is just a few blocks away and as we walked towards the bar I start to think what historical figure I should do my essay about. Maybe I should do it about the guy that started selling fake ID cards. I really own him a thanks at the moment.
