Chapter Two
Alibi
My temples throbbed violently; each breath I took seemed to deprive me from oxygen. My heart beat engulfed my heart and I was left feeling suffocated. Excess blood rushed through my body; I wondered whether my blood cells were retaliating against me. Everything seemed to be going against me, even my own body.
We continued running, our footsteps echoed in the silent night. The velvet sky hovered above us as though they were witness to our crime.
“Hold up!” said Michael.
“What?!” barked Zak.
“You wearing gloves right ash?” questioned Michael.
“Well what do these look like to you?” I muttered.
“So….” Said Michael, an expression of calculation was fixed on his pale face.
“That means all we need to do is burn the gloves,” smirked Adam.
“That is the only possible evidence they can obtain,” agreed David.
“Dang homie, when did you start reading the dictionary, ‘obtain’? What next? Deoxyribonucleic acid?! ” joked Michael.
“Oh hush it!” snapped David.
“We were at Buzz’d, raving all night, now you all better keep your cool! It ain’t as though we have never done ****. One word and we all tumble down, you hear?!” hissed Adam. His dark brown eyes were narrowed, fear lingered in them, and this was something I had never seen in him before.
“We are cool,” I replied, my voice seemed to tremble in the still night.
“Alright, lets stay calm and not lose our cool,” suggested Zak.
“Easier said than done,” whispered Michael.
“If I can see it,
Then I can do it,
If I just believe it,
There is nothing to it!”
Adam suddenly broke into a song….his melodically toned voice echoed in the deserted road. His voice was soothing; it made us all forget our problems. Music was all that calmed my troubled heart or perhaps that is what I told myself. “Come on boys, don’t leave me hanging,” laughed Adam. We all laughed, it kind of relaxed the mood.
“If I can see it,
Then I can do it,
If I just believe it,
There is nothing to it!”
We sang…it was hard to jam to a slow music so we just walked and sang. Cats rushed out to observe the introducers of the night. Slowly lights from houses started to flick on. Curious strangers rushed to the windows to take a peek. None of us really seemed to care, we played in tune together. The latest street boy band roamed the street at 3 am causing havoc! I thought to myself. The absurd idea made me chuckle as I loathed boy bands, even their music bothered me, except boyz to men and backstreet boys; they rocked back in my days. Now they are just….lets not even go there.
“Shut up you bunch of drunken losses!” yelled a man, wearing a white vest, his beer bully hung on his front.
“Yes, hush up or we’ll call the police!” ranted another man. However, this man was slimmer than the previous one. His slim figure and pale sculptured face made him look like a vampire taken from a nightmare.
“Chill, we are shutting it!” laughed Michael.
“And now they all think we are drunk and thus we have an alibi,” grinned David. A glint of excitement glowed in his oceanic blue eyes. His naturally tanned complexion went well with his eyes, at times it seemed almost strange how he managed to obtain an all year round tan. If I didn’t know better I’d say he sneaks to have a tan top up every month!
