Romance! Episode 8

It was three that Friday afternoon and another day of school was over. The teens were elated with having a weekend free from the books and lectures.

But of course some had homework they had to squeeze in their two days of freedom.

Darin sat and waited on the hood of his Bel-Air. Since classes were over, he removed the rubber band from his ponytail and let his hair hang freely down to his shoulders.

Seventeen year old Charles Moore and Kenny Woods strutted up to Darin with grins of weekend freedom.

“Hey, Darin,” said Charles who was about the same size as Darin but with long black hair down to his shoulders. Hey, Charles and Kenny,” replied Darin.
“So, are you ready to go in a couple of weeks?’ asked Charles.

“I can’t wait to party for a week. It’s been long brutal years to finally get to this day,” said Kenny, who had long auburn hair down to his shoulder and he also had pot marks on his face, as a reminder he lost his years with battling acne.

“I’m so fucking ready to have some fun in the sun over at the beach,” said Darin.
“Is Sheryl coming to the beach?” said Kenny while he glanced with eyes widened scanning the area for her.

Yeah, she’s planning on coming along with us to party,” said Darin.

Kenny smiled thinking about seeing her in a bikini showing off her butt cheeks.
“We better go. I have to work the night shift at the gas station,” said Charles, as he hated his pumping gas into cars that wanted the full service treatment.
“Yeah, I need to get home anyway,” said Kenny who had plans of hitting his bedroom and dreaming about Sheryl.

Charles and Kenny walked away and headed over to Charles’ white with blue interior four-door 1955 Chevrolet Bel-Air.

Darin kept a watchful eye on all the other students leaving the building.
After five minutes his eyes widened with joy the second he spotted Sheryl walking his way with her blonde hair swaying in rhythm with her walk.

“Hey baby,” she said the second she got to the front of his Bel-Air. She gave Darin a quick kiss on his lips.

He opened up his driver’s door and they got in the car. She slid across the bench seat and sat next to Darin. Darin started up his Bel-Air, backed out of the parking spot, and drove of through the lot.

Sheryl turned on the radio and the song How Can You Mend a Broken Heart by the Bee Gees played on the WFIL AM station.
