Girl I Know

“What are you gonna wear?” Savannah asked as she walked into my room just as I messaged Zacky ‘Hey we’re in’.

“I don’t know, probably just jeans and a t-shirt, flip flops and a jacket,” I smiled standing up and pulling out my favorite pair of jeans that fit my ass and shaped legs perfectly. Then my favorite Bullet For My Valentine shirt that was tight across my chest.

“Awesome! I’ll probably do the same, except probably wear shorts, it’s a little warm out tonight,” Savannah gave me her cute little smile. I swear she was adorable. I shook my head knowing she’d be cold by the end of the night but didn’t argue with her.

“BITCHES YOU HOME?!” Casey’s playful voice carried through the house.

“Up here!” I called as I pulled off my sweats and slid on my jeans. I was buttoning them as she walked in my room.

“You going out?” Casey asked as she sat on my bed.

I nodded as I pulled my shirt over my head, “Those hotties you hooked me up with at the end of my shift invited Savannah and I over for a bonfire on the beach, I’m sure you could come if you’d like?” I slipped on my new shirt and fixed my hair in my mirror, combing it before fixing my make up.

“Fuck yes! That tall one with the spikey brown hair and beautiful brown eyes was gorgeous,” she smirked and bounded out of my room.

My phone buzzed, ‘Awesome. Is it just you? Or…’

I chuckled, ‘Well actually, I’m glad Brian said the more the merrier, because both my roommates are coming. They don’t want me to show up to some bonfire and be sacrificed ;)’ I teased him and laughed to myself.

‘Lol, alright cool. 8362 Huntington Way.’ Zacky replied and I chuckled. I grabbed a jacket and walked out meeting Savannah in the hallway, she had thrown her hair up in a messy bun and Casey met us at the staircase landing in a hoodie and capris with flip flops on. “Let’s rock this bitch,” Casey smiled and I laughed shaking my head.

“They cool with all of us coming?” Savannah asked as we quickly descended the stairs and made our way out to my impala.

“Yeah, Zacky said alright and gave me the address,” I smiled as we all climbed into the car. I reversed out of the driveway and we sped off down the road.

Twenty minutes later we pulled into a driveway that housed about 7 other vehicles and I shook my head laughing. “Jesus, so much for a small get together.”

“Well there were 5 of them at the strip club,” Casey laughed.

“Yeah, that’s true,” I laughed shaking my head, “but surely they don’t drive more than 1 car a piece.”

Suddenly there was a tap on the window and we all shrieked, “Fuck, erm, sorry. You guys here for the party?” Johnny stood outside the window.

“Jesus Christ, you tryin’ to give us a heart attack?” Casey asked him and he chuckled awkwardly.

“Actually, it’s Johnny Christ,” he smirked at her.

“Yeah, we’re here for the party, I’m Tennessee, I was the one that gave you a lap dance at the club Johnny,” I smiled at him. “This is Savannah,” I motioned towards her in the passenger seat, “and that’s Casey,” I pointed to the back seat behind me.

“Well come on then, we don’t bite. Party’s just getting started, Brian and Matt are getting the bonfire going, Jimmy and Zacky are getting the drinks and snacks started,” Johnny stepped back from the car and we all opened our doors and stepped out.

“You’re a fan of Bullet?” Johnny asked me tilting his head.

“Yeah, you’re into them?” I asked as Savannah joined me at my side and we linked arms.

“Yeah, we’ve met those guys a few times, they’re super cool,” Johnny smiled as he finished the Marlboro that was in his hand then flicked the butt into the street.

“Nice,” I smiled as he lead us into the house where we ran into bright eyes.

“Watch where you’re going short shit-“ Zacky started then saw us, “Well hello there.” He smiled at me.

“Hello there bright eyes,” I smiled as we all came through the door.

“Snacks and drinks are through that door way, I’ll be right back. Fire is down on the beach,” he smiled nodding his head before disappearing up the stairs.

I laughed and shook my head before following my friends through the doorway where Johnny had led us to a kitchen area. “My new beautiful friends!” Jimmy yelled slightly slurring his words.

“Hey Jimmy,” I smiled. “This is Savannah and Casey,” I pointed to each respectively.

“Ladies,” he bowed down and handed each a cup. “Jack and Coke?”

“Sounds tasty,” Savannah giggled taking the cup from him.

“Thank-you,” Casey smiled politely.

“FIRE’S LIT!” Brian yelled coming in through the door on the deck then saw we had arrived and gave us a smirk. “Girls are here.”

“Oh really? Where?” I turned around looking over my shoulders playfully.

“Smart ass,” he smirked wider turning into a smile. “Love it, who are these two?” he nodded towards the others.

“I’m Casey, and this is Savannah,” Casey said stepping forward then nodding at Savannah who smiled at him as Matt walked into Brian coming in behind him. Brian then stumbled into Casey.

“Oof, fuck Matt,” Brian chastised him as he grabbed Casey’s arms to keep her upright.

“Oops, sorry,” Matt smiled with his dimples showing, “I’m Matt,” he introduced himself, his eyes scanning over Savannah subtly.

“Savannah,” she said meekly as she took a drink of her Jack and coke.

“Casey,” Casey nodded at him, Brian’s hands still on her arms, she was slow to remove them.

Zacky came back into the room, “Everyone met?” he asked smiling.

“Think so Bright Eyes, except for you meeting Casey and Savannah,” I grinned.

“I’m Zacky,” he waved at Savannah and Casey who waved back. “So fire?”

“Let’s roll bitches!” Jimmy grinned and grabbed the drinks throwing them in the coolers and the snacks into buckets. Everyone grabbed a cooler or bucket and we made our way down to the beach where the fire was ablaze.

I smiled and sat on the beach after setting the bucket down and I smiled seeing Matt and Savannah start talking; while Casey started talking to Brian and Johnny. I took a drink of the Jack and coke that Jimmy had passed to me as Jimmy and Zacky sat next to me. “What’s up?”

“Not much, just chilling by the fire,” I replied smiling.

“Cool,” Zacky smiled.

“So do you like dancing? I love dancing,” Jimmy ranted as he pulled out his phone pulling open Spotify.

I laughed, “Nah, I’m just a stripper for the money.” I tilted my head to look at him, the sarcasm evident in my voice.

“She got ya there, Jimbo,” Zacky laughed along with me.

“Did I hear more sarcasm?” Brian laughed as he looked in our direction, away from Casey.

“Nope, must be the elves behind your ears,” I grinned widely.

Everyone laughed as Jimmy put on a classic rock playlist and instantly Def Leppard came on with “Pour Some Sugar on Me” and I was instantly on my feet dancing around the fire with Savannah to the song. “Just keep your clothes on ladies,” Matt joked.

I smacked his arm, “No stripping outside of the club I’m afraid unless it’s in a bedroom for the boyfriends.”

“You have boyfriends?” Johnny asked us as all the guys kind of froze.

Savannah, Casey, and I all looked at each other and laughed, “I love how none of you even bothered to ask before inviting us out here.” Savannah tilted her head. “No, none of us are taken.”

The night continued with drinks, laughs, dances until the morning light hit the horizon.
