Previous Chapter Next Chapter
It was Monday finally at CHS, and there were a group of friends gathered by the statue out front of the school. Alex had pulled up on a bike he hadn't ridden in a while, it was one of the custom chopper bikes. He cut the engine, put the side stand down, and dismounted the vehicle. He walked toward the statue, taking the time to enjoy the cool fall air. He smiled.
"Hey guys! just wanted to say, I had a blast getting to know all of you. I'm glad I don't have to worry about anymore introductions." Alex said.
"Um, you do realize that there's still two of us you haven't met, right?" Soul asked. Alex stared at soul for a few moments. He dropped to his knees and raised his fists to the sky.
"Son of a bitch!" Alex shouted.
"Yeah, he should be here any moment." Cylde said. Alex got up off his knees.
"How will I know who it is-WHAT IS THAT!?" Alex shouted, he was point at a tank that was rolling down the street.
"Well, that would be him." Rivet said.
"Wait, he drives a tank!?" Alex asked.
"Yup. And he's allowed to park it here." Daemon said. The man climbed out of the tank. He was wearing a nice, black chefs uniform.
"Fancy guy." Alex said. The man approached the group.
"Hello everyone!" He cast a glance at Alex. "Ah, you must be Alex. They've been telling me about you while I was sick. Allow me to introduce myself. I'm mise en place, but you can call me mise." The man said.
"Nice to meet you. Say, how did you get sick?" Alex asked.
"Oh don't even get him started on that." An unfamiliar voice said.
"It was Artemis over there. He came into school with the flu, and I got it from him." Mise said.
"I said I was sorry!" Artemis said.
"Well, I'm just glad I got my flu shot before school." Alex said.
"Smart choice man!" Clyde said, punching Alex on the shoulder. Alex winced in pain.
"Ow! That's where I got the flu shot!" Alex shouted. Clyde chuckled nervously.
"Sorry."
"So, your name must be Artemis. Nice to meet you, my name is Alex." Alex said.
"I know, they've been telling me about you." Artemis said, pointing at the others.
"Oh really. They've neglected to tell me about you two. Tell me, why the fuck do they know me and yet I don't know them?" Alex said through clenched teeth. He slowly turned to face the group. The just scratched the back of their necks.
"Uh, we forgot?" Straight said.
"Anyway, I'm aria's boyfriend." Artemis said.
"And I am currently with Octavia." Mise said.
"Ok, that's, great. Why did I need to know this? I have a girlfriend already." Alex said. The two just shrugged. "Well, Treble and Straight are coming over to my house to meet a friend of mine, you wanna join?" Alex asked.
"Sure, why not." Artemis said.
"I'll be there." Mise said.
"Great, we'll all meet at my house after school ok?" Alex asked. The four nodded.
The four walked up to Alex's address. They gawked at the size of the house.
"DAYUM." Treble said.
"You got that right." Straight said. Alex's garage door opened, to reveal a large space, and many motorcycles.
"Ah! There you all are! Don't be shy, come on in!" Alex said. The guys walked into the garage, looking at all the bikes, and the large amount of unused space.
"Man, there are a lot of bikes here!" Treble said.
"Well, yeah I guess there is. But I don't really see it as a lot, I'm the one who owns it after all." Alex said. A large pick up truck ,with a trailer being towed behind it, pulled into Alex's driveway. "That would be Richard. Yo wassup Rich!?" Alex said. The man stepped out of the truck.
"Wassup Alex, I see you brung some friends." Richard said.
"Yeah, these two I wanted to get to know a bit better." He said, pointing to mise and Artemis. Both of which were n shock at who was before them. "And these are the two I told you about, Straight and Treble." Alex said.
"It's nice to meet you." Richard extended a hand to Straight. Straight took it and smiled.
"Nice to meet you too." He said. Rich extended his hand to Treble. Teble took his hand and shook it.
"Um, I hate to bother you mister Garret. But, can I ride your chopper?" Treble asked.
"I don't even think he brought it Treble." Alex said. In his mind he was thinking. 'Please say no, I don't want to lose this bet.'
"Of course I brung it! It's in the trailer with a few other things... And sure, you can ride it around the block." Richard said.
"Alex, you lost the bet."
"Dammit!" Alex said. He pulled a twenty out of his wallet and handed it to Treble. "Anyway, what do you have in the trailer besides your bike?" Alex asked.
"Parts to make another bike. It's going to have a softail frame and tank, but the engine will be a Sportbike's engine. Sound awesome or what?!" Richard said.
"Hell yeah it does!" Alex said. "Oh, hold on one minute!" Alex rushed off for a second. He ran back out with a camera and a tripod. "I promised my viewers I would record us building a new bike when ever we did it again. You four don't mind being on camera do you?" Alex asked.
"I'm cool with it." Straight said.
"It's fine with me." Artemis said.
"I'm alright with it." Mise said.
"I'm going to be famous!" Treble said.
Ok, then let's start!" Alex turned his camera on. "Hey guys! It's Alex, Or GradeAStreets. I'm here with Richard, as always, and my four friends, mise, Artemis, Straight, and Treble. You guys asked for this, so I hope you enjoy!" Alex said.
"Alright. first, we need to unload everything. Thank god you brung your friends Alex, things will be so much easier to lift with six of us instead of two." Richard said. Next Chapter: Time to build a bike! Day 1 Estimated time remaining: 1 Hour, 10 Minutes
