Ch27 Party Workers

As excited people, who love parties and are in desperate need of a break from studies, we woke up early and pedaled our way through the empty streets of early morning town. But what awaited us was something we should have seen coming from miles away. Of course, even in the basketball camp we had to work non-stop, we weren't even volunteers.

Now standing here, carrying boxes heavier than ourselves, did we realize why Mr. Cruz warned us of volunteering. We had to set up tables, carry boxes and chairs, hang on odd places to set up decorations, and blow balloons, the work seemed endless.

"At this rate, studying would have been better, at least I could have annoyed Luke," whined Nathan.

"Yeah, Luke dragging us to study would have been more fun than this." Joined Ben whining.

"If I remember correctly, I did tell you the same thing before. 'Ben, Nathan it will be a lot of work, are you sure you could do it?' and you guys clearly said, in your words, 'At least it will be better than your constant nagging for study.' Didn't you?" Asked Luke sassily.

"It's not that bad, at least we will be able to enjoy later." I supplied, trying to keep the mood light.

"Yeah enjoy, they will be making us waiters, I am sure. Why did I even agree to this?" groaned Noah.

"Hey kids, what are you doing crowding here?" asked Mr Davis, coming to us with long strides, looking even busier than us. His hands had at least 10 things hanging from every finger.

"No sir, we just bumped into each other, we are constantly working." babbled Nathan, picking up a random rag and cleaning the already clean table near us.

"Oh I see, five friends randomly bumped into each other while working hard. That seems quite a possible situation," said Mr. Davis laughing. "Now if you guys are done bumping, give me a hand with the food." 

We took half the things from his hands and followed him to his car where there were even more boxes waiting for us. 

"I really thought more kids would come, but it's just you five, and four other juniors." said Mr. Davis leading us back inside with the boxes.

"If we had any idea we'd be doing this, we wouldn't have come too." whispered Nathan.

"You said something?" asked Mr. Davis but he just cheekily shrugged, of course, we have to pretend that we are having the time of our lives.

"Hey, why are you carrying the boxes? I told you I'll do that, you just go inside." said Mr. Cruz, running to take the boxes from Mr. Davis's hand.

"It's fine, I can do that and kids are helping me as well, don't worry." Mr. Davis said as the boxes were ripped away from him.

"Look kids, your Mr. Davis is not well today, if you see him working take that away from him and call me, ok?" announced Mr. Cruz as he took the boxes inside.

"They are so cute together, I wish I had someone who would do that for me." Nathan said pouting.

"You are perfectly well, you even came here riding on my motorbike behind me." huffed Noah.

"But isn't Mr. Cruz the perfect boyfriend, he takes care of Mr. Davis so much." said Ben as we made another trip with the remaining boxes.

"Yes, he is." I agreed,

"I don't know how anyone else hasn't noticed them yet. How can they both not notice it themselves, they are made for each other," said Luke thinking hard.

"Don't you think it's like God's signal, he is trying to tell us that it's us who have to bring our teachers together," said Ben dreamily.

"First of all, I am an atheist. And secondly, stop spewing nonsense, don't you remember what happened last time when we tried to do that." answered Luke.

"What are you guys talking about?" came the strict voice of Mr. Cruz making us all jump apart.

"Nothing sir, we just bumped each other while working hard." said Nathan immediately as he bent to clean the already clean table near us with his leave.

Mr. Cruz just raised his brow, looking far more intimidating than Mr. Davis looks even scolding us. "If you are finished bumping into each other, follow me, we still have a lot to do." He said looking like Hitler.

"Right away sir," Nathan shouted giving a military salute but watching Mr. Cruz's glare he ran away first.

Rest of the work went without any conversations under Mr. Cruz's watchful eyes. Before we knew it, we were dancing on the makeshift stage with loud music and teachers hyping us. To them we were good entertainment, as Nathan was doing a very bad imitation of break dancing and Ben did some kind of rusty robotics. I also helped them with my better dancing skills, at least better than them. Even Luke and Noah were doing some kind of locking-popping thing.

With artificial colorful lights, we danced a lot, forgetting all of our aches from working. Our music teacher who was on DJ even played our requested music. Teachers joined and left but Nathan was constantly in the middle dancing like no tomorrow. Noah tried to stop him from embarrassing himself but Nathan just dragged him to dance with him.

But of course, the highlight of the night is captured in Ben's Druz folder, of Mr. Cruz and Mr. Davis dancing together. Which was more like Mr. Davis dancing crazily and Mr. Cruz laughing and awkwardly trying to match his energy, but they still looked cute together. 

And when the food was added, the night got even better. Nathan looked drunk on coke, he talked with teachers here and there, and the teachers were actually drunk making the conversation ten times more hilarious.

"Damn this night feels even better than studying," said Luke to everyone's surprise.

"Who are you? And what did you do to our nerd Luke?" teased Noah.

"Hey, I enjoy parties too." defended Luke.

But before we could tease him further, a running Ben came frantically asking to follow him, we ran with worry behind him just to see something very, very unexpected.

MR. DAVIS AND MR. CRUZ WERE HUGGING!!!!!!!!
