When we reach the club, I see Troy doesn't look like he's going to park because he is flying over every parking space.

He flies straight to the entrance and stops in front of the sidewalk which makes traffic. He signals me to get out.

I get out and try to make the entrance as dramatic as possible because it's not every day that you see a flying car.

I do everything right, but when I see Troy, I stop in my tracks. With my mouth open, I stare at Troy who looks like a celebrity. 

He does everything better than me, he had the flying car fly away, making the dust float in the air which made it look like a scene from a movie. He also had three gold chains around his neck, I don't know when he put them on, but they clean as hell.  

I leave my trance and try to continue my cool guy act.

 When we get close to the door, I look at Troy and he still looks like someone from a movie.  

Me, I love the attention we're getting, especially from the girls. I feel like a player because of the smiles I'm receiving. I stop and wave, but Troy grabs my arm and says "Come on"   

After that, he dragged me through the door. When we entered the club, I snatched my arm back and said "Why’d you grab my arm. Just because you're used to this doesn't mean I am."

He looks at me, then says "I'm sorry, but you looked like an idiot."

A little hurt I say "What, the ladies were waving at me."

"Haha, if that’s what you think."

Under my breath, I say "cool ass."

"What, what'd you say."

"Nothing."

We stop talking, and I follow him to the table.

~~~~~

We finally reach the table, and the two people there must’ve been the people Troy Invited.

Troy Introduced me to them and the two men are named Kweet and Roomy. Kweet was a Black man that is 6 feet tall. He was wearing some clean metallic 5s, but everything else looked like it came from a low-end thrift store.

Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel.

The other man, named Roomy, was a light skin who wore a dark blue suit. The girls were looking at him, so he must have been handsome.

I reach out my hand, and say "I'm Tyreek."

Roomy shakes my hand first and says "Hey."

Kweet does it second and says "Nice to meet you."

I let Troy sit at the booth first, and he sits by Roomy, so I sit next to Kweet.

“How long have you guys been here,” said Troy

“Fucking with you made us wait here for almost half an hour,” said Kweet angrily  

Troy puts his hands up and says "I’m sorry, we got a little sidetracked on the way here"

I support Troy "Yes, there was a lot of traffic"

Roomy gets up and says "I'm going to the bar. What do you guys want"

Troy replies for all of us and says "We getting drunk tonight, so get us something strong"

Roomy looks around and sees that there are no problems, so he leaves to get the drinks.

We keep talking until Roomy comes back

Roomy comes back with four shot glasses and a bottle of some unknown alcohol.

Kweet says "What the fuck is that."

Roomy puts the glasses down "It's going to get us drunk."

I wait for Roomy to pour my cup, but he never does.

I say "Are you going to pour it for me."

Roomy looks at me funny and says "Okay, here you go."

He pours my cup, and everyone else's. When he finishes, I put my cup in the air, so we can say cheers.

Nobody raises their cup, so I ask "Are you guys going to join."

They look at each other and shrug.  

With everyone’s cups in the air, I say "Cheers."

With that, we start drinking.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Hey, Tyreek you wanna (hiccup) Go home now,” says Troy

“Yea, (hiccup) but who gonna….. Take us.”

"I will  (hiccup)."  

I hit him and say “ How, your drunk.”

"I'm not, and we could put the car on self-driving mode" he then looks at Roomy and Kweet "Do you guys need a ride," with a slur

Kweet says "Yes;" while leaning side to side.  

"Okay, come on," said Troy.

When I try to get up the world starts spinning, and I end up on the floor. Troy starts throwing up, Kweet just sits there dazed, and the only one who still has some control is Roomy. I don’t know how, but he helps all of us up. And we finally start moving towards the exit.

~~~~~~~

At the car, Troy unlocks the door for us and puts the car on autopilot while we all go to sleep.

I wake up and I see the car crashing into a building. I black out, and when I wake back up, I see Roomy screaming, Kweet on the floor with his eyes closed. When I look down at his body, I see a whole in his chest. That put me into shock which leaves my body numb.

When I see Troy, his body is disfigured, I look to the left and see that Roomy has pieces of glass in him and when he tries to take them out blood just pours out his body like a fountain and then he passes out. While all this was happening I knew this was the end because I just couldn’t stay awake anymore.
