"He's never gonna call YOU"(part II)

My last post was taken from summer in the late 80's. I want to start this one fall of 1989!
One night my friend, Tina and I were at the mall waiting on her stepdad to pick us up. Tina's boyfriend was at the mall, I didn't have a boyfriend. Josh (he was also my brother's best friend) and Tina made me sick because they had been together for 1 1/2 yrs and could never be apart. They acted out this totally dramatic adult romance that was usually way too intense for me. This night he was going to sneak over as usual, even though I would be there! So-we decided to "sneak a party" into Tina's room. The plan was to ask Harry (the stepdad) to drop everyone off at Anthony's house , which was close to Tina's. So about 4 boys were dropped off at "Anthony's" while Tina and I went to her house. By the time they got to Tina's they had another 4 people with them! Now Tina's family had a relatively small house and her room was maybe 15'x15' and we snuck like 10 people in the room while her parents were in the other room! Let me just say first that the parents were either really stupid, or didn't care. On this night there was a fist fight, sex(2 couples ventured into another room, at separate times), drinking, the window broke, Josh carved Tina's name in his chest because they 2 got in a fight, OH and I STEPPED ON THE RAZOR-I sliced my big toe almost in half!!!(I'll show u the scar...) IT was total chaos and everyone wanted more md 20/20(the only drink we could score at that time) and left to go get it. Well all except Tina & Josh who were still fighting, me-bleeding and trying to elevate my foot, and blast from the summer-quiet LEITH. We briefly chit chatted about Gonz and the summer, the crazy night, and when everyone got back-everyone (including Leith-but not JOSH) left!

During that school year I still hung out with my skater friends, but a lot happened in my life! I had two new brothers, they were twins. I also came into my own a little bit- I still hung out with my skater friends, but now I drug someone new into the group. Meghan was from a rich part of town, her parents owned a pub and liquor store (still do), she was pretty and she was PREPPIE!! I learned from her that I could still be different and my self while caring what I look like and putting an effort into my appearance. No more skater t-shirts, I was ALL about the Gap! But, you know, it worked, ok? She and I had some crazy times! We would push her mom's Mercedes out after they all went to bed, steal it and come home at 2am. We would throw huge parties that resulted in destruction of furniture, artwork, and the lanai getting a huge hole in it! Not bad for a couple of 15yr olds, huh? One night Meghan was actually grounded-but we made plans anyhow that our friends Tim, Clayton, and some other dude were gonna pick her up and then me and we'd go to a party. It was time for them to come, no show. 1 hr later Tim calls me, Meghan couldn't get out so they wanted directions to my house to get me. I gave it to them, and waited. 15 min later there is some van next door that looks like their van. A few min later they bang at my door and tell me to get in the van-they peal out. So the jackasses walked right into my next door neighbors house and were screaming for me, running all over their house when they realized that I was next door! We get to the party, which is at a new condo development that isn't even 100% done yet-it just looks weird. We pull up and these people run up to the van and tell us to leave. We tell them we were invited to the party and they tell us there are too many people and we have to go. Just then Jason from my geometry class runs up. He knows all the guys in the van but says only I can go in, so the guys leave and I stay. I realize that was stupid about 30 min later when Jason won't leave me alone. Everyone sits around playing drinking games and Jason still kept bugging me. I tried to go into another room and see someone passed out-it's hard to see who because we only have candles-no lights. I get a closer look and who is it? My old friend Leith. I try to leave the room and I hear, "How's your toe?" I look at him and he is laying in a pile of PUKE!! He was "pre-celebrating" his 17th birthday. We hung out all night and he kept me safe from Jason. Everyone went into the hot tub(which did work). I guess everyone had money in their shorts and tried to use the dryer, which didn't work. See I called it the "magic dryer" because all night long I kept opening it up and there was more and more money in it. I guess I was wasted too. We all got hungry and went to the convenient store. Leith wasn't getting anything, I asked why. He said he had no money-I said I'd buy him whatever he wanted!!(magic dryer) He went on and on all night about how nice I was. (he still knows nothing of the magic dryer) At dusk mostly everyone had left, except for the 3 guys who had the party, Leith, me and JASON. We decided to go to breakfast and just left Jason. After breakfast they dropped me off, and in the car I said, "If any of you want to call me my # is 774-xxxx!" Of course this was only intended for Leith but I was too scared to give it to him. I thought this way he had no pressure and would call me if he wants. I walked into my house and was on complete cloud 9 after my night!! Leith and I just got along so well and just talked all night. He was so funny and we were constantly laughing at each other-we were both somewhat shy. (him way more than me) I went into my brother's room and Josh was over. I told them about my night,what I had done in the car and why. They both said, "Leith was HERE??" (remember awesome skaters vs sucky, wanna-be-awesome-skaters-friends' skaters?) I said yeah. They went on and on about how Leith would never call me, he was too cool for me, etc etc etc...They were still ragging on me 10 min later when the phone rang. It was LEITH>>>!!!!!!!!!!
