I think I had fucked up. Avery hadn't called or texted me back since our date three days ago. My phone buzzed in my pocket and threw a glance to the teacher up front. I took it out to find a text from Mirranda, the waitress from Red Lobster. We had been texting non-stop since I met her while I was waiting for Avery to get back from the bathroom.
Mirrandað - hey, cute ass
Joshuað ð¦ - hey little lady
Mirrandað - so you know that artist i told you to listen to? G-Eazy?
Joshuað ð¦- yeahhhh..., he's good, btw, ya know, if you're into that type of shit, even tho i don't really like R&B like that
Mirrandað - IT'S RAP!!!! Omfg, you're hopeless
Mirrandað - either way, he's coming to NC!!!!!!
Joshuað ð¦- lit, when??
Mirrandað - the 27th of this month
Joshuað ð¦ - $$$ ??
Mirrandað - depending where ya @ but the ones we should get are kinda close, so it'd be like $500
I go to the TicketMaster website and I find the concert she was talking about. "When It's Dark Out". I buy two tickets, ending up closer than the one's Mirranda was talking about. $1,600 for both of us. I screenshot the ticket confirmation and send it to her.
Joshuað ð¦ - i gotchu ;)))))))))))
Mirrandað - *SCREAMS* OMFG YOU DID NOT!!!!! ILY ILY ILY â¤â¤â¤
Joshuað ð¦ - ily2, can't wait for our date then ;)

Joshuað ð¦ - k qt
Mirrandað - shit, g2g g2g g2g, teacher alert
I pocket my phone and turn to look at Marco. Maybe he's seen or heard from Avery.
"Yo, have you seen Avery?" I ask him and he shakes his head.
"Nah, but Emma said something about a family emergency or something." Marco shrugs.
"Hmm, weird." I mumble.
For the rest of English IV honors, I'm not able to pay attention, even more than usual and I'm relieved when the hell rings to dismiss us. The rest of the day passes by in a blue and then the bell for 2nd lunch, my lunch, finally rings. I head down to the cafeteria, expecting to see Avery's familiar brown hair but nothing. I sigh, collapsing onto one of the red plastic seats.
"I just bought two boxes of pizza so be eternally grateful." Ryder says, plopping himself and two Papa John's boxes down on the table.
"What'd ya get?" I ask him.
"Regular pepperoni and Canadian bacon with pineapple." Ryder says.
"Lit, now please pass the CBP." I say. I take a slice from the box and take a bite. "Has anyone seen Avery?" I ask.
"She and her mom are down in Florida, for a family matter." Alexia says and then her face has a quick flash of pain before a scowl sets on her face. Emma bites down on her sausage pizza, trying to hide the look of smugness on her face. Well, that's interesting...
Avery ð - I miss you, baby girl, hope FL ain't that fun and you come back home soon #lonelybackhome :(
/|\
It's been almost two weeks since Alexia let it slip that Avery was on Florida and there was still no sign from her. Tonight was finally the night of the concert and to be honest, I was excited. I hadn't been to a concert since Vans Warped Tour 2015 in the summer. My phone buzzes and it's a text from Mirranda.
Mirrandaðð - ready for G-Eazy?!?!? stg, still can't believe we're actually going
Joshua ð¥ð - hell yeah, tbh && i swear, me either
Mirrandaðð - 2 hours of daddy, like, dayum ð»
Joshuað¥ð - i thought I was daddyð¤
Mirrandaðð - maybe, maybe not ð lol
Joshuað¥ð - see ya there, qt
I slip on a pair of black jeans, white t shirt and a black and white checkered flannel, paired with black Vans. I grab my keys and head down the stairs, finding James and Will in the kitchen. "Hey, I'm going to a concert so don't be up by the time I get back, alright?" I warn them and James salutes me.
"Out of curiosity, what time would you be back?" Will asks me and I shrug.
"I dunno. Late, maybe 3." I say and take a handful of popcorn. "Okay, bye." I add and ruffle James's hair.
"Stop doing that." James sighs, trying to fix his hair.
I laugh as I exit the house and turn on my car. Once inside, I hook up my phone and press on the G-Eazy playlist. The first song that pops up is 'Some Kind Of Drug'. I turn up the volume and really listen to the lyrics this time.
Wake up this morning I'm shaking I can't be still girl
Too many images running through my mind
Soon as I hit it, I can't get it out of my system
Even my brother he asked me what you want
I'm on some kind of drug
Can't explain all the ways you get me high
I'm on some kind of drug
Can't explain, don't keep me waiting all night
Girl come through, that bath water running
Fire be burning in my hotel room
Come through, champagne be popping
System be knocking in my hotel room
Ever since I met you, you got me changing my schedule
If you ain't know, that shits eventful
And losing this money is dreadful, but
Believe me, that pussy is special
You wanted me moms, I might let you
Rollie is soo presidential, keep it on while we fuck that's cause I meant to, yeah
Fuck you twice, we take a nap, soon as you're awake, get back
Go for three it takes a knack
I'm taking you to places that
You ain't been girl, face the fact, meant it, I can't take it back
Whisky straight, ain't chasing that, I'll taste the cat, yeah
Yeah, you told me I own that pearl, yeah, that's cause I bone you girl
You should be my only girl, when I hit it, you feel like you own the world
I'm on some kind of drug
Can't explain all the ways you get me high
I'm on some kind of drug
Can't explain, don't keep me waiting all night
Girl come through, that bath water running
Fire be burning in my hotel room
Come through, champagne be popping
System be knocking in my hotel room
Since the last time we had sex, honestly, I've been a mess, well
Fienin cause you got the best, borderline kind of obsessed and yeah
I'm on some kind of drug, I've been addicted and I cannot find enough
I call you, I'm tryna fuck, I'm in room 921, come on up
And we could put up the "please do not disturb"
I got the drink, I got the herb, I'm tweakin', now I must be cured
The only way I rest assured is if... I get my fix
I love the way your dress just slips right off your waist, right down your hips
Technique's the best, she knows some tricks and yeah
I need you now, I need you bad
You and me both been fienin' bad, I guess what I really mean is that... yeah
I'm on some kind of drug
Can't explain all the ways you get me high
I'm on some kind of drug
Can't explain, don't keep me waiting all night
Girl come through, that bath water running
Fire be burning in my hotel room
Come through, champagne be popping
System be knocking in my hotel room
I finally get to the Greensboro Coliseum and get in line to receive my tickets. After waiting for what feels like forever, I hold the tickets in my hand and I spot Mirranda's familiar red hair. She has it loose and curled with a black leather skirt and a Mickey Mouse t-shirt paired with high-heeled combat boots.
"Hey cutie," I call to her and she turns around. Her face breaks out into a smile and then a smirk.
"Are you ready for this pure awesomeness," She asks me and I nodd.
"Of course, girl. Whatchu think," I say and she laughs.
We head inside and I sniff the air a the same time Mirranda does. "It smells like weed in here," She says, wrinkling her nose.
"Is that bad," I ask her and she nods.
"Duh, why would anyone want to do that to their body," Mirranda points out and I shrug.
"Maybe it relaxes them," I point out.
"There are other ways to relax, Josh. Drugs aren't the only way," Mirranda tells me and I shrug.
Somewhere deep inside of me, I knew she had a point but I couldn't help but think "Avery's not like this."
The lights start to fade and the beat starts and we start cheering. As we jump up and down and side to side and scream along to the music, I feel adrenaline going through me and a sense of belonging.
"I feel like crying, tbh," Mirranda tells me and IÂ laugh.
"I'm for real, Josh. This is one of the greatest moments of my life and I honestly feel like crying. Gerald was literally a god, no lie," Mirranda exclaims as we head out the door.
I suddenly get the feeling that someone is staring at me and I turn around to find Avery and Emma, both wearing the same look on their face. Shock, disappointment and betrayal.
I was seriously fucked.
