The Story of Us Part II

Part 2
They set forth through the pitch black night walking hurriedly to the house Danger assumed he had to be right. “I’ve seen a girl at this corner house, but it’s not four houses down. Maybe these girls just don’t know how to count” Danger told the group. The group chuckled like giddy school girls, because they were worked up about meeting new girls from their cross town rival school. “Ok guys, hold it together. We need to look cool for these girls.” Danger said in an arrogant tone while wearing his Letterman Jacket.
They arrived promptly at the corner and noticed that all the lights in the house were off. “That’s weird.” Sean said. “Are you sure this is it?”
“Yeah, I’m telling you I saw a girl here before.” Danger answered.
“Where’s the fire hydrant?” Benny questioned.
“Umm. I don’t know. It’s dark; we probably just don’t see it.” Danger replied not sounding as confident as before. They huddled together and all appeared fearful of ringing the doorbell. “Stop being wusses, let’s do this already.”
Danger lead the group straight to the front door. He rang the doorbell and waited. Nothing. He rang the doorbell again. Nothing. Then as they were turning away, “What do you want?” an old man wheezed from a crack in the door. He was wearing a bath robe and as he opened the door a strong smell of smoke and old people (bengay, medicine, and cat pee) escaped through. “Umm. Is your daughter home?” Danger muttered to the old man, losing any bit of confidence he had at the beginning of their walk and trying not to breathe.
“My daughter? I don’t have a daughter. Now get out of here, before I grab my gun!” The old man shouted. Old people tend to get upset about nothing very often. The boys sped off without even looking back trying to forget the old people smell that engulfed them at the door.
“What the hell!” Benny screamed as the boys ran farther away from the house. “Stinky, I’m going to kill you.”
Stinky whined, “I swear guys they wanted to meet us. I don’t know what happened.”
They looked at each other and finally Benny said what they were all thinking, “Maybe, they tricked us. There aren’t any girls.” The guys walked away with their heads down. They walked slowly down the street and felt the cold of the night stinging away at their skin.
“Well there wasn’t a hydrant and this was more than four houses down. Maybe it was the wrong house.” Sean thought out loud.
Danger replied, “You could be right, but then where would they be?”
“Let’s try the other corner.” Benny said. The gang got excited again and made their way in the other direction towards the other corner.
Part III coming soon...
