Fostering a New Me

Chapter 4

Adams POV

Adam was sad Reese was going away for the weekend. There was something about her that was different than the other girls at school. He had known most of the others since elementary school, and was quite frankly tired of the drama they always caused. He had noticed Lexi becoming more bold with her advances. While she was a pretty girl, she could be a real witch a lot of the time. When Reese moved here, she immediately caught Adam’s attention. She was not only beautiful, but she had this mysterious quality about her. She wasn’t like the other girls. She didn’t like to get involved with their drama; in fact she avoided the girls all together. She also didn’t look at Adam like he was a piece of meat. When she talked to him, she was interested in what he had to say. He felt like he could let down his guard and really be himself around Reese.

Adam got to the party a little after 8:00 pm that night. The bonfire had just started to get good and hot, and about 20 people had showed up so far. Adam didn’t drink often, but he had scored a pack of Miller Lite from his older brother and figured he would have a little fun. About 5 beers in Lexi showed up to the party with her squad, Chrissy and Jessa. She had already been drinking and immediately found Adam. He could tell she had planned on torturing him all evening, so he grabbed another beer and headed over to talk with some of the guys across the fire.

As the night went on the drinking games began. The party had grown, and there were at least 150 people now. Adam didn’t do well with Vodka, but that was the drink placed in front of him if he did not make the last shot.

“This should be an easy shot for a basketball star,” a boy in the background shouted out. Adam missed. The next thing he remembered was waking up in the bed of his truck and flashes of a blonde next to him. Things went dark again. When he awoke it was morning, and there was no sign of any girls. He assumed he had imagined it and drove home. That afternoon he got a text on his phone, and his heart sank.

“Thanks for the good time, lover boy!” Lexi attached a pic of the two in full lip lock. He had to make sure Reese never found out.
