You Look Pretty Low

[Peyton]

Finally! School was over! Forever! We’d finished at midday and had been in Rian’s backyard with Kara ever since, drinking Long Island Ice Tea’s in our bikinis. Life was good.

“What time will the boys be back?” Trinity asked lazily, taking a drag of a cigarette

“Soon I think. All Rian said was they were going round Alex’s for a phone call or something,” Kara shrugged

“Must be an important phone call,” I snickered, draining my glass

Kara giggled, Trinity just smiling as the rays of the sun beat down on her body. I swear, she’s a sun addict! But whatever floats her boat, I guess.

“Mmm I could get used to this,” Trinity purred, finishing her cigarette

Then we heard shouts and running feet.

“Sounds like the boys are back,” Kara sighed dramatically, pushing her sunglasses on top of her head

Sure enough, all four of them burst into the backyard, big grins on their faces.

“You’ll never guess what happened!” Jack squealed

“Your sex change op has been approved?” I teased, referring to his temporary high voice

“Nooo,” Jack whined

“Rian learnt how to use a shower?” Kara offered

“Nooo,” Rian whined as well, but mocking Jack

“Asskarth came out of the closet as the flaming homosexual we all know he is?” Trinity smirked

“No, come on guys, what is the one thing we all love?” Alex sighed

“Apart from food,” Zack added

Kara, Trinity and I all looked at each other, before looking back at them.

“Your band?” I shrugged

“Yes! The phonecall was from Hopeless Records – they want to sign us! We go into a recording studio in three weeks time!” Alex said excitedly

I jumped to my feet, throwing my arms round Alex’s neck in excitement. I can’t believe it! I’m so excited for them! I didn’t need to look around to know that Trinity and Kara had their arms around Zack and Rian too. Jack just stood there, pouting with his hands on his hips, till we all merged into a group hug.

“Oh, Trin and Pey, we wondered if you wanted to be our merch girls when we go on tours? Kara’s always said she would never work for us because she’s spent so long looking after us already, but we wanted to know if you wanted to?” Jack said with a smile, breaking the hug

I leant back into Alex’s arms, considering the idea.

“It would mean that you could travel the country, like you always wanted to,” I heard Zack mumble to my sister

She told him our plans? Wow. Trinity looked over at me and shrugged. I shrugged back. Why not!

“So is that a yes?” Rian asked hesitantly

“Sure,” Trinity nodded, resting her head on Zack chest

“Alright! Party at mine!” Alex whooped

[Trinity]

I giggled as I tripped over my feet, landing on the floor on my ass. Zack just laughed at me, sitting down on the floor next to me. I smoothed down my white cami and red short shorts, before putting my red lips necklace back in the centre of my chest. With a ruffle of my ringletted hair, I grinned wildly. There, much better.

It was about 2am and the party was in full swing. All 7 of us had called absolutely everyone we knew, meaning every possible space had a body in it. It was even more packed than our party! I was wayyy past tipsy, but not quite drunk. I had no idea where anyone but Zack was, but I wasn’t too bothered. I’m sure they’re having fun.

“You alright there, baby?” Zack mused

“Mmhmm,” I breathed, looking up

I noticed then that we’re at the bottom of the stairs.

“You sure about that?” Zack snickered

I just smirked and pressed my lips against his in a short harsh kiss, leaving him a bit shocked when I pulled away. In silence I straddled his waist, liking how his hands automatically went to my hips.

“You brought me over to the stairs on purpose, didn’t you?” I drawled, raising an eyebrow

“Actually, I didn’t. I have much more class than that,” Zack snorted, rolling his eyes

“No you don’t,” I replied smoothly

“Uh, yes I do,” Zack retorted

“No you don’t,” I repeated, this time with a devilish grin

“A-And what makes you think that?” Zack gulped, noticing the look in my eyes

I smirked and unbuttoned his jeans, unzipping them before sliding my hand down, palming him through his boxers. As soon as Zack’s eyes rolled back slightly, he started panting and his head tilted to expose his throat, I pulled my hand out.

“If you had any class, you wouldn’t have let me do that,” I whispered against his lips

Zack growled and kissed me forcefully again. I moaned slightly, the alcohol lowering my inhibitions dramatically. At least the asswipe knows what he’s doing now, I guess.

“TRINITY HAYES! GIVE THE BOY SOME AIR AND TURN AROUND!”

I pulled away with reluctance, turning my head to see Peyton. Then I frowned. She looked awful. Well, not her appearance. Her baby blue dress and gold jewellery were immaculate. I meant her expression. She looked...distraught. So I moved my body to sit next to Zack’s so I could face her properly.

“What’s wrong?” Zack asked, doing his jeans up

“I can’t find Alex. Anywhere. He’s not with Jack like he usually is. And even Casey Duvont hasn’t seen him,” Peyton whimpered

“Woah, hold up...you think he’s cheating on you again?” I said angrily

“Is he with Kara and Rian?” Zack interrupted, sending me a warning look that basically said ‘calm the fuckk down’

“I don’t know...I haven’t seen them either,” Peyton replied, shaking her head

“Okay, well here’s what we’re going to do. You go and look for Rian and Kara down here, and we’ll go and look for Alex upstairs. To check that he’s not in the bedrooms with...anyone,” Zack said kindly

“Thank you so much!” Peyton said gratefully

“Any time,” I nodded

Peyton grinned and walked away. Zack stood up, chuckling as I struggled to get up too. Quick as a flash, he scooped me up in his arms and walked up the stairs, carrying me effortlessly.

“Show off,” I grumbled, elbowing him in the ribs when he set me down at the top

“A simple thank you would’ve been enough,” Zack winced, rubbing the sore spot

I rolled my eyes. Baby. Then I looked round the corner, my jaw dropping. There were at least 12 doors up here! This would take ages in my state! I’m guessing Zack saw the expression on my face, because he laughed.

“You take one side, I’ll take the other,” he offered

I just sighed and nodded, heading to the first room.

Door one. Empty bathroom. I closed the door.

Door two. Empty.

Door three. Empty.

I’m sensing a pattern here...

Door four. AHH! Captain of the football team and a cheerleader, naked and sweaty. I rapidly closed the door. Bad mental images. I’m never going to question the flexibility of cheerleaders ever again, that’s for sure.

Door five. Empty.

Door six. Hmm it’s locked. I pressed my ear to the door, but I can’t hear anything. Oh well, guess Skankskarth isn’t on this side. I turned around, watching Zack open his last door. His body went rigid as he looked in, and I frowned at the sound of a male yell and a female shriek. Obviously I couldn’t see Zack’s expression, so I walked over there, but he closed the door before I could look in.

“Who was in there?” I asked suspiciously

“Just a couple I didn’t expect,” Zack replied quickly, blinking heavily

“Was it Alex?” I asked bluntly

“No,” Zack replied with a smile

I raised an eyebrow, letting him know I didn’t believe him. Zack sighed, pulling me against his body by my hips.

“I promise you it’s not Alex, okay?” Zack said softly

“I don’t like liars. Especially not when my sister is involved,” I warned him

“I’m not lying!” Zack exasperated

I looked directly into his eyes, searching for any trace of a lie. After a couple of seconds, I looked away, not seeing anything. Then I stepped out of his arms, and headed for the stairs.

“Where are you going?” Zack asked, confused

“Back to the party,” I shrugged, although I would come back up to look in that room in a little while

“Come here,” Zack said lowly

I raised an eyebrow but walked back over to him, only to squeak as he pushed me harshly into the wall. I inhaled sharply as he pressed hot kisses into my neck, my legs turning weak as his fingers danced over the inside of my thighs.

“W-What are you doing?” I whispered

“I want you, Trinity. Right now,” Zack mumbled into my ear, nibbling the earlobe

“But we promised Peyton we’d help her look for Alex,” I protested

A moan slipped past my lips straight after as his hands cupped my ass, and I wrapped my legs round his waist out of instinct. I’m getting wayyy too turned on by this. I think I’ve finally corrupted Zack. Kara owes me $20.

“And we have looked. We looked upstairs like we said we would. I don’t think she’ll miss us if we spend a little time alone up here, do you?” Zack smirked, looking down into my eyes

“I don’t know...”

I couldn’t help but moan loudly as Zack ground his hips against mine, his hard-on pressing dangerously in just the right place. I gave into my desires and kissed him hungrily. It was a kiss of teeth, tongues and wandering hands, full of heat and desire. Dayum. When I broke away, Zack smirked at the lust in my eyes.

“Not out in the corridor,” I whispered hoarsely

Zack pulled a key out of his pocket. I let my legs drop to the floor, watching in curiosity as he opened the locked door that I couldn’t get into. I strutted into the room, raising an eyebrow at his innocent expression. Zack wasted no time in shutting the door behind himself and locking it again. I sat down on the bed, cocking my head to one side.

“Aren’t you going to join me?” I asked with a small smirk

All it took was parting my legs slightly to make Zack pounce.
