David and Ed arrive

“Holy shit,” David mumbled.

They had just arrived at the Lake house and he couldn’t believe just how expensive and big everything here looked. It couldn’t be located any better, so close to the water, a jetty at the side of the late, jet skis and a boat ready to go. It was incredible.

As the SUV pulled up on the gravel just outside the house, the two high school graduates were greeted by a stocky well-built guy standing out the front. His blonde hair blew slightly in the wind, he grinned nicely as he heard the sound of the car doors opening up.

“Derek!” Ed called out as he shut the car door.

“Batesy! What’s happening my man!” he replied, referring to Ed’s last name. They hugged each other, Derek giving him a nice hard pat on the back as he did so.

Derek then turned to see the more quiet David approaching them. He politely smiled as Derek put out his hand offering him a handshake.

“It’s David, isn’t it?” he said as they shook hands, “Sorry, probably didn’t look much outside of the cliques at High school.”

It was true, before his dramatic exit from the football team, Derek had no time for anyone below him socially. It would be fair to say that he came off as a quite a bully, not someone that David expected to be spending a week with not long after graduation.

“It’s cool, I get it,” David said, forcing a smile.

As he said that, the sound of footsteps and the front door opening was heard by everyone. Out came Michael and Wally. Michael, the short Italian born boy was a bit of an outcast in a different way. Outspoken, loud and opinionated, he hated sports but loved to drink. Behind him, Wally and his curly brown hair came out of the house, tripping slightly on the front step. He had the biggest smile on his face, shocked still that Derek actually gave in and said he could come.

“Hey guys! You gotta see this place, even just the front door is more expensive that my entire house,” Wally said as they all said their hellos.

Michael was more concerned about the lack of girls at this stage. “So where are the chicks? You said there would be at least four or five of them?” he asked Derek impatiently.

“Yeah yeah yeah, they’re coming, keep your pants on,” he said, shushing him up. “Anyways, let’s get you boys inside, got the replay of the Super Bowl on the big screen, just for you Ed.”

They gathered their stuff up from the car and made their way inside. If outside of the house looked nice, then the inside looked indescribable. Everything made of the most expensive panels and designs of wood. Carved objects and expensive paintings surrounded the walls, this was a dream place to be living it.

“So what’s the bedroom situation?” Ed asked as he took a seat on the leather couch in front of the TV.

Derek who was by the fridge, cracking open five beers, spoke loud enough that Ed could hear him from in front of the television. “Five bedrooms, Ten people, you do the math Ed.”

David gulped hearing that, he figured they may get their own rooms to themselves. They were now going to be **** to partner up with someone. “Do we get to choose?” He asked straight away as Derek gave everyone a beer.

“Nahh, fuck that, we’re going to do it old school, names out of a hat,” Derek said, plonking himself down on the couch.

“So we could end up with a chick in our room??” Wally suddenly said, his ears perking up as he heard that.

They all looked at him with a bit of hesitation, he was a little creepy and if one of the girls got stuck with him, they may rather pack up their stuff and leave rather than sleep in the same room as him.

“Yeah... potentially,” Derek said, already regretting the fact that he let him come here.

“Oh yeah baby! Wooooh! Major chance to score!” he cheered as he took a sip from his beer.

David from the side, just stayed quiet. He had never had any real action with a girl before. The thought of maybe sharing a room with one was something that both excited him and made him nervous.

Thinking about the girls, David wasn’t the only one who was wondering how far away they were.
