Brick was chilling in some living room, having a few sips of beer since he was at a party for one of his friends, while Millie was chatting with some random girls that she knew, hearing that Jeremy and Lauren have arrived too- she knew that poor Brick had a thing for the bratty soc.

“Eh, I knew I’d feel bad about it if I didn’t, so I did. Don’t worry about it.” Jeremy took a bite of the sandwich he made for himself prior to calling Brick. To be honest, though, he didn’t exactly know why he called Brick. He wanted to call Brick because.. Well, he wanted to. He’d never tell him that, though. Ever. He didn’t want to open that can of worms and face what that would mean.

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

“Alright then. Wish you were here right now, it’s lonely in my household.” Brick said, chuckling a bit and was shirtless, wearing pj pants with socks on. He imagined that Jeremy was snuggling with him, laying on his chest while Brick was staring at the window, enjoying the view. He wanted him bad, he didn’t want the ladies, he wanted his soc enemy with him.

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

Jeremy tried to ignore how the words made his stomach do a somersault in the best way possible. “Don’t say shit like that.. Jesus.” He grumbled.

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

“Awe, did I make blondie flustered? I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to..” Brick said in a teasing tone, deep chuckling a bit. His stomach felt like he had fireworks inside in the best way of the world, his heart was pounding a bit like a drum. He bites his lip softly due to nerves.

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

“Shut up, I’m not flustered.” Jeremy snapped weakly. The weakness was mainly because his cheeks felt like they were on fire.. So yeah, he was flustered.

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

“Blondie, I can feel your cheeks are on fire right now. I’ll stare at the window until you notice me staring at you and you think to yourself, oh I want him bad.” Brick said in a teasing tone, suddenly starting at the window, having the phone against his shoulder while smiling softly. His stomach was basically having butterflies in his stomach in a smiling way.

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

Jeremy rolled his eyes, despite Brick not being able to see it. “Go to hell, Miller.”

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

“I’ll be happy to-“ Brick said in a sarcastic tone, deep chuckling. “Feel free to say it towards my face whenever I could kiss you to shut up and you would like it very much, Cooper. Oh, by the way, I love it when you get angry..”

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

Jeremy balled up his fists, his cheeks even redder if that was even possible. “I’ll hang up on you, Miller, I mean it! Shut up!”

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

“Oh. I’ll do that for you.” Brick said, suddenly hanging up the phone, putting the phone back and suddenly deciding to sleep, breathing in and out of his nose softly as he’s cuddling with his plush Raccoon.

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

Jeremy was stupefied, to say the least. The fucking gall!

“That asshole!” Jeremy slammed the phone receiver back on its hook and stormed back up the stairs to his room.

Why he even bothered to spend time with that jerk, he would never understand.

And yet he knew it wouldn’t be the last time. It never was, no matter how much he said it.

Jeremy went to bed, and as he fell asleep, all he could think about was Brick Miller’s stupidly handsome face. Like every other night.

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

*time skip towards the morning*

Brick was awake, it was around 11 in the morning and he groaned softly due to the sun in his eyes. He decided to get up, get dressed to look himself more cool with a mix of greaser in it, and he was finished getting ready. He decided to head towards his lovely black motorcycle with a cool design of a flame, deciding to get out of the driveway of his adopted home and decided on heading towards the movie theater to see a new horror film. He had sunglasses on with a Mickey Mouse tank top that he got from Two-Bit with jeans that were a bit baggy and ripped with a nice blue color, had a hanging chain on it with wearing some cowboy boots underneath the jeans, mixed with a belt.

“Blondie, I can feel your cheeks are on fire right now. I’ll stare at the window until you notice me staring at you and you think to yourself, oh I want him bad.” Brick said in a teasing tone, suddenly starting at the window, having the phone against his shoulder while smiling softly.

| @tulsas-nameless-faces |

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

Jeremy and Lauren walked into the party, looking way too nice to be there. Jeremy had on a tan sweater and a white button down underneath, with beige slacks and brown dress shoes.

Lauren was wearing a red blouse with a matching miniskirt, and black heels that looked painful to walk in, but she strutted in them like a model anyway.

The two of them looked around and Lauren scoffed. “Remind me why we’re in this greasy pit, Cooper?”

Jeremy only looked at her. “Free beer, I guess?” He looked around the party, music blasting and teens crashing into each other while dancing. “I don’t know why we came either, honestly. This place is a dump..”

Lauren rolled her eyes and a greaser boy slowly approached her. Before he could even open his mouth, however, she noticed him and gave him a glare sharp enough to kill. “As if, you goddamn slime ball. Move along.” She barked, and he widened his eyes in shock and slinked away to find a less terrifying girl..

Jeremy only chuckled. When will these idiots learn?

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

Millie suddenly saw the two, walking over to them and said “hey gals, welcome to hell— if you’re wondering where the Brick head is, he’s chilling in some living room and drinking..” she was checking her nails, noticing the chaos that was happening in this two time loser party that one of Brick’s rich greaser friends are hosting, feeling amused.

Meanwhile Brick decided to get his loser ass up, walking upstairs to go use the restroom, not noticing that some random greaser girl is following him. He mumbled “I’m not interested in hooking up, please leave me alone while I go clear my horrible head..” making the random greaser girl not follow him anymore, making him walk inside the bathroom that smelled a bit bad, locking the door and doing his business. Once he was done in the restroom after washing his hands, he opened the door and just started walking in the hallway.

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

Meanwhile downstairs, Jeremy was standing in the kitchen, completely uninterested and plastic cup in hand, not doing much except drinking the cheap booze offered at the party. Lauren refused to drink it, saying she was “above that shit.”

Lauren looked around the party, punch in hand (that had probably been spiked), equally as unimpressed by the classless behavior surrounding here. “I seriously wanna ditch this place..” She muttered, looking up at Jeremy. “How about you? You sick of this dump yet?”

Jeremy looked down at her, shrugging. “I’ll miss the shitty beer, but I could leave.” To emphasize, he took a sip of the beer in his cup. It tasted like it came from a corner store, which it probably did. Probably wasn’t actually bought either. But Jeremy could feel he was starting to get buzzed, so he didn’t care as much as he usually would have.

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

Until Brick himself had enough of the hallway and walked downstairs, one of Brick’s friends who we will call Joe came over to him and said “hey Brick, you feel like doing some drugs?.. maybe some weed to wake yourself up and clear your headache?..” Brick said in a bit mood tone “no Joe, I don’t wanna get high—.. I’m not risking myself getting in trouble. You know this shit by now.” He managed to walk away from Joe before he could peer pressure him into more about doing drugs with him.

He suddenly walked into the kitchen where he could see Jeremy and the gals here, not wanting to socialize with them, he decided to walk outside towards the backyard and sit underneath a tree while gazing towards the stars. Millie could notice something was off with Brick as he was walking past them and said “guess Joe got into his head again with the weed shit—.. any of you want a backstory?..” she asked towards the two.

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

Jeremy and Lauren looked at each other.

Lauren looked at Millie. “I don’t give a shit what that was about.” She said flatly, then she looked at Jeremy. “Seems you might, though.”

Jeremy looked at her, scowling (mainly at her very correct observation). “Well excuse me that I heard ‘weed’ and wanted to know what the hell was going on.” He looked at Millie. “..But, that *was* kind of weird. The hell was going on there?”

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

Millie said “Brick and Joe used to be tight when they were young kids, staying out of trouble and so forth—.. well until they got into their early teens, Joe started to sell ‘weed’ around outside of school, trying to get the youngsters high as a doorknob. Brick didn’t like this because he was afraid that Joe was gonna sell weed towards his younger brother, so Brick decided to confront him about this and told him to stop. It unfortunately didn’t work, so Joe had some back up, getting his gang to rough house with Brick until they held him down and Joe forced him to take some, basically peer pressuring him into taking some. Once Brick managed to fight them off, he ran away, getting away from Joe and his gang as fast as possible.. Brick doesn’t really interact with Joe as you can see from their interaction.” She sighed softly as she watches Brick by the window.

Meanwhile Brick was lighting a cigarette and having a hanged cigarette on his mouth while still glazing towards the stars.

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

Jeremy was stunned silent. He vaguely remembered Joe from when him and Brick were children. He never spoke to him a lot, as he was more Brick’s friend than Jeremy’s, but he’d heard Brick mention him from time to time. After he broke off the friendship, he barely ever saw Brick, so he pretty much forgot Joe existed. “Wow.. Never knew about that.” Was all he could manage out. He followed Millie’s gaze out the window and saw Brick. His jaw tightened slightly.

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

“I wouldn’t suggest beating up Joe, it’s not worth it— I can hire some pranksters to prank Joe for revenge. However, you should talk to Brick- he doesn’t really seem happy to be here.” Millie said, mumbling that towards Jeremy and feeling worried for Brick, even if she didn’t like him at times.

Joe was chatting with some buddies of his while laughing and smoking some cigarettes that he stole.

Brick blew some smoke from his mouth, softly singing a song to himself while humming to it. He could feel eyes on him but he chose to ignore it since he didn’t care at all.

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

Jeremy pursed his lips for a moment. He looked at Lauren.

Lauren gave him a deadpan look. “What, are you trying to ask my permission or something? If you wanna talk to him, go talk to him.” She rolled her eyes, finishing off her cup of punch and checking her nails. She gave him a sideways glance. Almost encouraging him to do so, albeit silently.

Jeremy was quiet for a moment. Then he groaned. “Aw, to hell with it.” He downed the last of his beer, grimaced at the taste of the cheap alcohol and placed the cup on the counter. “I’ll go talk to the asshole.” He fixed the collar of his button-down and walked past Millie to head to the backyard to check on Brick.

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

Millie smiled softly and suddenly looked at Lauren, she said “I know he secretly doesn’t hate him, he just doesn’t wanna admit it—..” while giggling softly.

Brick heard a voice, he opened his eyes to see Jeremy next to him and said “guess Millie told you? I’m not surprised, the girlie can’t keep her mouth shut—.. I hate to say it but it’s nice to see you blondie.” His tone was somewhat soft, continuing to smoke his half smoked cigarette bud before settling it off against the grass.

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

Jeremy chuckled. “Tell me about it.” He sat down next to Brick, smoothing out his slacks internally cringing at the dirt stains that were going to be on the backs of his legs after. He stayed silent after that last part, though. Deep down, he felt the same way. But he’d never say it, not out loud. His pride would never let him.

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

“As Millie said— it’s hell. It’s fucking horrible. Especially since Joe became a huge weed dealer in Tulsa, I can’t stand him.” Brick said, having a bit of a headache and sighing softly, suddenly looking at Jeremy with an upset look in his eyes. He suddenly smiled a bit and said “I’ll take you over Joe any day, screw him- heard that man almost got caught selling weed in the alleyways.” He chuckled a bit but deep down, he knew that he couldn’t have Jeremy due to their differences but Brick didn’t care, he wanted Jeremy to himself without nobody watching them.

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

Jeremy let out a low whistle. “Damn you must really hate that guy to prefer hanging out with *me*, huh?” He joked.

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

“Oh absolutely. I can take you home if you can’t stand this fucked up party, I wanna leave. A greaser girl almost wanted to hook up with me but I said no.” Brick said, standing up, looking down at Jeremy and held out his hand towards him.

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

Jeremy looked at his hand, but opted to stand up himself. He dusted off his slacks and straightened up. “Yeah, let’s get out of this shithole.” He tried not to think about how the mention of the greaser girl trying to hook up with Brick felt like sulfuric acid burning through his stomach. That would just lead to more problems.

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

“Lucky for you, I know a short cut. Follow me.” Brick said, seeing a gate and running a bit towards it, he manages to unlock it due to knowing the code. He opens the door, letting himself out and being a gentleman of letting Jeremy out of the shit show party. He walked towards his car aka cherry red chevy impala, he unlocks it, getting into the drivers seat. He asked “shouldn’t we get the girls? pretty sure Millie doesn’t have a ride.” While sitting in the drivers seat.

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

Jeremy crossed his arms. “You know I drove here right? I’m not just gonna leave my car here.”

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

“No? Pretty sure nobody told me, I gotta get home anyway.” Brick said, starting his car, putting on his seatbelt, checking his mirrors and such.

We see Millie and Lauren rush out the front door, making Brick confused as hell and blinking softly to himself and said “guess they escaped or something—“ The two girls were already waiting by Jeremy’s car, out of breath. Brick suddenly said “call me tomorrow whenever you feel like it Jeremy, I miss our phone conversations.” He suddenly smiled softly, before rolling up his window, managing to get out of the driveway and driving himself back home.

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

Jeremy stared at Brick’s car as he drove away. “Maybe I will..” He muttered to himself. And he might just be telling the truth.

Lauren called out to him from next to his car, extremely impatient to leave. “Jeremy! Get me the hell out of this cesspool!”

Jeremy rolled his eyes, walking over to the car and fishing in his pockets for his keys. “I’m coming, I’m coming.”

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

Millie said “somebody almost threw up on me, disgusting asshole—“ while annoyed a bit, fixing her blond hair while sighing in relief.

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

“Everyone in there is lacking in class so much, it’s sickening.” Lauren scoffed.

Jeremy found his keys and unlocked his car, opening the driver-side door, getting into the driver’s seat. “I still have no clue why we wanted to come. It’s not our scene anyway.” He turned the car engine over and the engine of the navy blue chevy roared to life.

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

Millie said “pretty sure Brick was forced to go and I unfortunately got an invite too— I didn’t wanna go but sadly had no choice.” She got in the back of Jeremy’s navy blue chevy and putted her seatbelt on.

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

Lauren got in on the opposite side and also buckled her seatbelt. “I would’ve just said no and told the person to go to hell.”

Jeremy scoffed from the driver’s seat as he started to back out of the driveway. “*That’s* because you’re you.”

Lauren shrugged. “I just don’t do things I don’t wanna do.”

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

Millie smiled softly and “of course, not everybody wants to do it- he’ll, I rather go on vacation and sip on a mocktail.”

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

Lauren hummed in agreement. “Thats the dream, right there.”

Jeremy looked Millie through his rearview mirror. “Alright, where do you live, Diamond?” He asked, wanting to know where he had to drop her off at. He knew where Lauren lived, he was the one who drove her to the party, but he wasn’t sure about Millie.

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

Millie said “few blocks from Lauren’s place and by the way, Lauren you’re coming with me on vacation. No arguments hehe.” She smiled softly while clapping a bit.

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

Lauren rolled her eyes, but there was no actual annoyance behind it for once. “Alright, I guess.”

After a few minutes, Jeremy pulled up in the Richards’ family driveway, and Lauren let herself out of the car. She was halfway up the driveway when she looked at Jeremy in the driver’s window “Next time I’m picking the party.” She pointed at him for emphasis. “I don’t trust you anymore.” She then walked the rest of the way up her house’s front steps, and disappeared inside for the night.

Jeremy rolled his eyes at that and started to back the car out of the driveway. He looked at Millie in the rearview window again. “Isn’t she a delight?” He asked, his voice dripping with sarcasm and his question clearly rhetorical. His next question was a genuine one, though. “You said you live a few blocks over, which street?”

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

Millie said “somewhere around fifth street-“ she yawned a bit, sighing in relief and blinking a bit but is staying awake.

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

“Alright.” Jeremy nodded and put his eyes back on the street, driving in the direction of Fifth Street.

When they arrived at Millie’s house, he pulled up in the driveway and stopped the car. “Alright, you’re home.” He announced quietly, knowing that Millie was tired and ready to just go straight to bed.

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

“Good night Jeremy, thanks for the ride. Ciao.” Millie said while unbuckling her seatbelt, leaving Jeremy’s car and closing the car door. She waved at Jeremy in the drivers seat before heading inside her house to go straight to bed.

Meanwhile, Brick was home, laying awake and had a bit of eye bags underneath his eyes. He was having mixed emotions in his mind, his thoughts running back to what Joe said to him, about weed and such but Brick didn’t care, he didn’t want to deal with that madness again, not ever in his mind. He was waiting for Jeremy to call him, he needed somebody to talk too— he couldn’t talk to his adoptive mom or dad since he was choosing not to and Rae, Rex were asleep in their rooms.

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

After about half an hour, the phone began to ring. When Brick picked up the receiver, before he could even ask who it was, he heard a familiar voice on the other end. “..I cannot *believe* I actually called you.”

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

Brick chuckled a bit quietly and said “I’m surprised that you took my offer, you would’ve went to bed by now- I can’t sleep, the stuff that Joe said can’t leave my mind.” He sighed a bit, laying his head against the pillow.

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

“Yeah, Millie told me about that.” Jeremy said quietly. His voice was unusually soft. Maybe it was just because he was tired, but Brick liked to think otherwise. “..Sorry that happened to you.”

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

“It’s alright, it’s not your fault— I blame Joe for this.” Brick said, cuddling his raccoon plushie as he was listening to Jeremy talk. “I appreciate you for calling me this late at night, you really shouldn’t have-“

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

Brick was chilling in some living room, having a few sips of beer since he was at a party for one of his friends, while Millie was chatting with some random girls that she knew, hearing that Jeremy and Lauren have arrived too- she knew that poor Brick had a thing for the bratty soc.

| @tulsas-nameless-faces |

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

Jeremy and Lauren walked into the party, looking way too nice to be there. Jeremy had on a tan sweater and a white button down underneath, with beige slacks and brown dress shoes.

Lauren was wearing a red blouse with a matching miniskirt, and black heels that looked painful to walk in, but she strutted in them like a model anyway.

The two of them looked around and Lauren scoffed. “Remind me why we’re in this greasy pit, Cooper?”

Jeremy only looked at her. “Free beer, I guess?” He looked around the party, music blasting and teens crashing into each other while dancing. “I don’t know why we came either, honestly. This place is a dump..”

Lauren rolled her eyes and a greaser boy slowly approached her. Before he could even open his mouth, however, she noticed him and gave him a glare sharp enough to kill. “As if, you goddamn slime ball. Move along.” She barked, and he widened his eyes in shock and slinked away to find a less terrifying girl..

Jeremy only chuckled. When will these idiots learn?

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

Millie suddenly saw the two, walking over to them and said “hey gals, welcome to hell— if you’re wondering where the Brick head is, he’s chilling in some living room and drinking..” she was checking her nails, noticing the chaos that was happening in this two time loser party that one of Brick’s rich greaser friends are hosting, feeling amused.

Meanwhile Brick decided to get his loser ass up, walking upstairs to go use the restroom, not noticing that some random greaser girl is following him. He mumbled “I’m not interested in hooking up, please leave me alone while I go clear my horrible head..” making the random greaser girl not follow him anymore, making him walk inside the bathroom that smelled a bit bad, locking the door and doing his business. Once he was done in the restroom after washing his hands, he opened the door and just started walking in the hallway.

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

Meanwhile downstairs, Jeremy was standing in the kitchen, completely uninterested and plastic cup in hand, not doing much except drinking the cheap booze offered at the party. Lauren refused to drink it, saying she was “above that shit.”

Lauren looked around the party, punch in hand (that had probably been spiked), equally as unimpressed by the classless behavior surrounding here. “I seriously wanna ditch this place..” She muttered, looking up at Jeremy. “How about you? You sick of this dump yet?”

Jeremy looked down at her, shrugging. “I’ll miss the shitty beer, but I could leave.” To emphasize, he took a sip of the beer in his cup. It tasted like it came from a corner store, which it probably did. Probably wasn’t actually bought either. But Jeremy could feel he was starting to get buzzed, so he didn’t care as much as he usually would have.

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

Until Brick himself had enough of the hallway and walked downstairs, one of Brick’s friends who we will call Joe came over to him and said “hey Brick, you feel like doing some drugs?.. maybe some weed to wake yourself up and clear your headache?..” Brick said in a bit mood tone “no Joe, I don’t wanna get high—.. I’m not risking myself getting in trouble. You know this shit by now.” He managed to walk away from Joe before he could peer pressure him into more about doing drugs with him.

He suddenly walked into the kitchen where he could see Jeremy and the gals here, not wanting to socialize with them, he decided to walk outside towards the backyard and sit underneath a tree while gazing towards the stars. Millie could notice something was off with Brick as he was walking past them and said “guess Joe got into his head again with the weed shit—.. any of you want a backstory?..” she asked towards the two.

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

Jeremy and Lauren looked at each other.

Lauren looked at Millie. “I don’t give a shit what that was about.” She said flatly, then she looked at Jeremy. “Seems you might, though.”

Jeremy looked at her, scowling (mainly at her very correct observation). “Well excuse me that I heard ‘weed’ and wanted to know what the hell was going on.” He looked at Millie. “..But, that *was* kind of weird. The hell was going on there?”

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

Millie said “Brick and Joe used to be tight when they were young kids, staying out of trouble and so forth—.. well until they got into their early teens, Joe started to sell ‘weed’ around outside of school, trying to get the youngsters high as a doorknob. Brick didn’t like this because he was afraid that Joe was gonna sell weed towards his younger brother, so Brick decided to confront him about this and told him to stop. It unfortunately didn’t work, so Joe had some back up, getting his gang to rough house with Brick until they held him down and Joe forced him to take some, basically peer pressuring him into taking some. Once Brick managed to fight them off, he ran away, getting away from Joe and his gang as fast as possible.. Brick doesn’t really interact with Joe as you can see from their interaction.” She sighed softly as she watches Brick by the window.

Meanwhile Brick was lighting a cigarette and having a hanged cigarette on his mouth while still glazing towards the stars.

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

Jeremy was stunned silent. He vaguely remembered Joe from when him and Brick were children. He never spoke to him a lot, as he was more Brick’s friend than Jeremy’s, but he’d heard Brick mention him from time to time. After he broke off the friendship, he barely ever saw Brick, so he pretty much forgot Joe existed. “Wow.. Never knew about that.” Was all he could manage out. He followed Millie’s gaze out the window and saw Brick. His jaw tightened slightly.

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

“I wouldn’t suggest beating up Joe, it’s not worth it— I can hire some pranksters to prank Joe for revenge. However, you should talk to Brick- he doesn’t really seem happy to be here.” Millie said, mumbling that towards Jeremy and feeling worried for Brick, even if she didn’t like him at times.

Joe was chatting with some buddies of his while laughing and smoking some cigarettes that he stole.

Brick blew some smoke from his mouth, softly singing a song to himself while humming to it. He could feel eyes on him but he chose to ignore it since he didn’t care at all.

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

Jeremy pursed his lips for a moment. He looked at Lauren.

Lauren gave him a deadpan look. “What, are you trying to ask my permission or something? If you wanna talk to him, go talk to him.” She rolled her eyes, finishing off her cup of punch and checking her nails. She gave him a sideways glance. Almost encouraging him to do so, albeit silently.

Jeremy was quiet for a moment. Then he groaned. “Aw, to hell with it.” He downed the last of his beer, grimaced at the taste of the cheap alcohol and placed the cup on the counter. “I’ll go talk to the asshole.” He fixed the collar of his button-down and walked past Millie to head to the backyard to check on Brick.

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

Millie smiled softly and suddenly looked at Lauren, she said “I know he secretly doesn’t hate him, he just doesn’t wanna admit it—..” while giggling softly.

Brick heard a voice, he opened his eyes to see Jeremy next to him and said “guess Millie told you? I’m not surprised, the girlie can’t keep her mouth shut—.. I hate to say it but it’s nice to see you blondie.” His tone was somewhat soft, continuing to smoke his half smoked cigarette bud before settling it off against the grass.

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

Jeremy chuckled. “Tell me about it.” He sat down next to Brick, smoothing out his slacks internally cringing at the dirt stains that were going to be on the backs of his legs after. He stayed silent after that last part, though. Deep down, he felt the same way. But he’d never say it, not out loud. His pride would never let him.

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

“As Millie said— it’s hell. It’s fucking horrible. Especially since Joe became a huge weed dealer in Tulsa, I can’t stand him.” Brick said, having a bit of a headache and sighing softly, suddenly looking at Jeremy with an upset look in his eyes. He suddenly smiled a bit and said “I’ll take you over Joe any day, screw him- heard that man almost got caught selling weed in the alleyways.” He chuckled a bit but deep down, he knew that he couldn’t have Jeremy due to their differences but Brick didn’t care, he wanted Jeremy to himself without nobody watching them.

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

Jeremy let out a low whistle. “Damn you must really hate that guy to prefer hanging out with *me*, huh?” He joked.

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

“Oh absolutely. I can take you home if you can’t stand this fucked up party, I wanna leave. A greaser girl almost wanted to hook up with me but I said no.” Brick said, standing up, looking down at Jeremy and held out his hand towards him.

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

Jeremy looked at his hand, but opted to stand up himself. He dusted off his slacks and straightened up. “Yeah, let’s get out of this shithole.” He tried not to think about how the mention of the greaser girl trying to hook up with Brick felt like sulfuric acid burning through his stomach. That would just lead to more problems.

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

“Lucky for you, I know a short cut. Follow me.” Brick said, seeing a gate and running a bit towards it, he manages to unlock it due to knowing the code. He opens the door, letting himself out and being a gentleman of letting Jeremy out of the shit show party. He walked towards his car aka cherry red chevy impala, he unlocks it, getting into the drivers seat. He asked “shouldn’t we get the girls? pretty sure Millie doesn’t have a ride.” While sitting in the drivers seat.

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

Jeremy crossed his arms. “You know I drove here right? I’m not just gonna leave my car here.”

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

“No? Pretty sure nobody told me, I gotta get home anyway.” Brick said, starting his car, putting on his seatbelt, checking his mirrors and such.

We see Millie and Lauren rush out the front door, making Brick confused as hell and blinking softly to himself and said “guess they escaped or something—“ The two girls were already waiting by Jeremy’s car, out of breath. Brick suddenly said “call me tomorrow whenever you feel like it Jeremy, I miss our phone conversations.” He suddenly smiled softly, before rolling up his window, managing to get out of the driveway and driving himself back home.

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

Jeremy stared at Brick’s car as he drove away. “Maybe I will..” He muttered to himself. And he might just be telling the truth.

Lauren called out to him from next to his car, extremely impatient to leave. “Jeremy! Get me the hell out of this cesspool!”

Jeremy rolled his eyes, walking over to the car and fishing in his pockets for his keys. “I’m coming, I’m coming.”

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

Millie said “somebody almost threw up on me, disgusting asshole—“ while annoyed a bit, fixing her blond hair while sighing in relief.

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

“Everyone in there is lacking in class so much, it’s sickening.” Lauren scoffed.

Jeremy found his keys and unlocked his car, opening the driver-side door, getting into the driver’s seat. “I still have no clue why we wanted to come. It’s not our scene anyway.” He turned the car engine over and the engine of the navy blue chevy roared to life.

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

Millie said “pretty sure Brick was forced to go and I unfortunately got an invite too— I didn’t wanna go but sadly had no choice.” She got in the back of Jeremy’s navy blue chevy and putted her seatbelt on.

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

Lauren got in on the opposite side and also buckled her seatbelt. “I would’ve just said no and told the person to go to hell.”

Jeremy scoffed from the driver’s seat as he started to back out of the driveway. “*That’s* because you’re you.”

Lauren shrugged. “I just don’t do things I don’t wanna do.”

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

Millie smiled softly and “of course, not everybody wants to do it- he’ll, I rather go on vacation and sip on a mocktail.”

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

Lauren hummed in agreement. “Thats the dream, right there.”

Jeremy looked Millie through his rearview mirror. “Alright, where do you live, Diamond?” He asked, wanting to know where he had to drop her off at. He knew where Lauren lived, he was the one who drove her to the party, but he wasn’t sure about Millie.

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

Millie said “few blocks from Lauren’s place and by the way, Lauren you’re coming with me on vacation. No arguments hehe.” She smiled softly while clapping a bit.

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

Lauren rolled her eyes, but there was no actual annoyance behind it for once. “Alright, I guess.”

After a few minutes, Jeremy pulled up in the Richards’ family driveway, and Lauren let herself out of the car. She was halfway up the driveway when she looked at Jeremy in the driver’s window “Next time I’m picking the party.” She pointed at him for emphasis. “I don’t trust you anymore.” She then walked the rest of the way up her house’s front steps, and disappeared inside for the night.

Jeremy rolled his eyes at that and started to back the car out of the driveway. He looked at Millie in the rearview window again. “Isn’t she a delight?” He asked, his voice dripping with sarcasm and his question clearly rhetorical. His next question was a genuine one, though. “You said you live a few blocks over, which street?”

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

Millie said “somewhere around fifth street-“ she yawned a bit, sighing in relief and blinking a bit but is staying awake.

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

“Alright.” Jeremy nodded and put his eyes back on the street, driving in the direction of Fifth Street.

When they arrived at Millie’s house, he pulled up in the driveway and stopped the car. “Alright, you’re home.” He announced quietly, knowing that Millie was tired and ready to just go straight to bed.

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

“Good night Jeremy, thanks for the ride. Ciao.” Millie said while unbuckling her seatbelt, leaving Jeremy’s car and closing the car door. She waved at Jeremy in the drivers seat before heading inside her house to go straight to bed.

Meanwhile, Brick was home, laying awake and had a bit of eye bags underneath his eyes. He was having mixed emotions in his mind, his thoughts running back to what Joe said to him, about weed and such but Brick didn’t care, he didn’t want to deal with that madness again, not ever in his mind. He was waiting for Jeremy to call him, he needed somebody to talk too— he couldn’t talk to his adoptive mom or dad since he was choosing not to and Rae, Rex were asleep in their rooms.

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

After about half an hour, the phone began to ring. When Brick picked up the receiver, before he could even ask who it was, he heard a familiar voice on the other end. “..I cannot *believe* I actually called you.”

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

Brick chuckled a bit quietly and said “I’m surprised that you took my offer, you would’ve went to bed by now- I can’t sleep, the stuff that Joe said can’t leave my mind.” He sighed a bit, laying his head against the pillow.

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

Brick was chilling in some living room, having a few sips of beer since he was at a party for one of his friends, while Millie was chatting with some random girls that she knew, hearing that Jeremy and Lauren have arrived too- she knew that poor Brick had a thing for the bratty soc.

Millie suddenly saw the two, walking over to them and said “hey gals, welcome to hell— if you’re wondering where the Brick head is, he’s chilling in some living room and drinking..” she was checking her nails, noticing the chaos that was happening in this two time loser party that one of Brick’s rich greaser friends are hosting, feeling amused.

Meanwhile Brick decided to get his loser ass up, walking upstairs to go use the restroom, not noticing that some random greaser girl is following him. He mumbled “I’m not interested in hooking up, please leave me alone while I go clear my horrible head..” making the random greaser girl not follow him anymore, making him walk inside the bathroom that smelled a bit bad, locking the door and doing his business. Once he was done in the restroom after washing his hands, he opened the door and just started walking in the hallway.

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

Meanwhile downstairs, Jeremy was standing in the kitchen, completely uninterested and plastic cup in hand, not doing much except drinking the cheap booze offered at the party. Lauren refused to drink it, saying she was “above that shit.”

Lauren looked around the party, punch in hand (that had probably been spiked), equally as unimpressed by the classless behavior surrounding here. “I seriously wanna ditch this place..” She muttered, looking up at Jeremy. “How about you? You sick of this dump yet?”

Jeremy looked down at her, shrugging. “I’ll miss the shitty beer, but I could leave.” To emphasize, he took a sip of the beer in his cup. It tasted like it came from a corner store, which it probably did. Probably wasn’t actually bought either. But Jeremy could feel he was starting to get buzzed, so he didn’t care as much as he usually would have.

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

Until Brick himself had enough of the hallway and walked downstairs, one of Brick’s friends who we will call Joe came over to him and said “hey Brick, you feel like doing some drugs?.. maybe some weed to wake yourself up and clear your headache?..” Brick said in a bit mood tone “no Joe, I don’t wanna get high—.. I’m not risking myself getting in trouble. You know this shit by now.” He managed to walk away from Joe before he could peer pressure him into more about doing drugs with him.

He suddenly walked into the kitchen where he could see Jeremy and the gals here, not wanting to socialize with them, he decided to walk outside towards the backyard and sit underneath a tree while gazing towards the stars. Millie could notice something was off with Brick as he was walking past them and said “guess Joe got into his head again with the weed shit—.. any of you want a backstory?..” she asked towards the two.

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

Jeremy and Lauren looked at each other.

Lauren looked at Millie. “I don’t give a shit what that was about.” She said flatly, then she looked at Jeremy. “Seems you might, though.”

Jeremy looked at her, scowling (mainly at her very correct observation). “Well excuse me that I heard ‘weed’ and wanted to know what the hell was going on.” He looked at Millie. “..But, that *was* kind of weird. The hell was going on there?”

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

Millie said “Brick and Joe used to be tight when they were young kids, staying out of trouble and so forth—.. well until they got into their early teens, Joe started to sell ‘weed’ around outside of school, trying to get the youngsters high as a doorknob. Brick didn’t like this because he was afraid that Joe was gonna sell weed towards his younger brother, so Brick decided to confront him about this and told him to stop. It unfortunately didn’t work, so Joe had some back up, getting his gang to rough house with Brick until they held him down and Joe forced him to take some, basically peer pressuring him into taking some. Once Brick managed to fight them off, he ran away, getting away from Joe and his gang as fast as possible.. Brick doesn’t really interact with Joe as you can see from their interaction.” She sighed softly as she watches Brick by the window.

Meanwhile Brick was lighting a cigarette and having a hanged cigarette on his mouth while still glazing towards the stars.

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

Jeremy was stunned silent. He vaguely remembered Joe from when him and Brick were children. He never spoke to him a lot, as he was more Brick’s friend than Jeremy’s, but he’d heard Brick mention him from time to time. After he broke off the friendship, he barely ever saw Brick, so he pretty much forgot Joe existed. “Wow.. Never knew about that.” Was all he could manage out. He followed Millie’s gaze out the window and saw Brick. His jaw tightened slightly.

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

“I wouldn’t suggest beating up Joe, it’s not worth it— I can hire some pranksters to prank Joe for revenge. However, you should talk to Brick- he doesn’t really seem happy to be here.” Millie said, mumbling that towards Jeremy and feeling worried for Brick, even if she didn’t like him at times.

Joe was chatting with some buddies of his while laughing and smoking some cigarettes that he stole.

Brick blew some smoke from his mouth, softly singing a song to himself while humming to it. He could feel eyes on him but he chose to ignore it since he didn’t care at all.

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

Jeremy pursed his lips for a moment. He looked at Lauren.

Lauren gave him a deadpan look. “What, are you trying to ask my permission or something? If you wanna talk to him, go talk to him.” She rolled her eyes, finishing off her cup of punch and checking her nails. She gave him a sideways glance. Almost encouraging him to do so, albeit silently.

Jeremy was quiet for a moment. Then he groaned. “Aw, to hell with it.” He downed the last of his beer, grimaced at the taste of the cheap alcohol and placed the cup on the counter. “I’ll go talk to the asshole.” He fixed the collar of his button-down and walked past Millie to head to the backyard to check on Brick.

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

Millie smiled softly and suddenly looked at Lauren, she said “I know he secretly doesn’t hate him, he just doesn’t wanna admit it—..” while giggling softly.

Brick heard a voice, he opened his eyes to see Jeremy next to him and said “guess Millie told you? I’m not surprised, the girlie can’t keep her mouth shut—.. I hate to say it but it’s nice to see you blondie.” His tone was somewhat soft, continuing to smoke his half smoked cigarette bud before settling it off against the grass.

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

Jeremy chuckled. “Tell me about it.” He sat down next to Brick, smoothing out his slacks internally cringing at the dirt stains that were going to be on the backs of his legs after. He stayed silent after that last part, though. Deep down, he felt the same way. But he’d never say it, not out loud. His pride would never let him.

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

“As Millie said— it’s hell. It’s fucking horrible. Especially since Joe became a huge weed dealer in Tulsa, I can’t stand him.” Brick said, having a bit of a headache and sighing softly, suddenly looking at Jeremy with an upset look in his eyes. He suddenly smiled a bit and said “I’ll take you over Joe any day, screw him- heard that man almost got caught selling weed in the alleyways.” He chuckled a bit but deep down, he knew that he couldn’t have Jeremy due to their differences but Brick didn’t care, he wanted Jeremy to himself without nobody watching them.

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

Jeremy let out a low whistle. “Damn you must really hate that guy to prefer hanging out with *me*, huh?” He joked.

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

“Oh absolutely. I can take you home if you can’t stand this fucked up party, I wanna leave. A greaser girl almost wanted to hook up with me but I said no.” Brick said, standing up, looking down at Jeremy and held out his hand towards him.

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

Jeremy looked at his hand, but opted to stand up himself. He dusted off his slacks and straightened up. “Yeah, let’s get out of this shithole.” He tried not to think about how the mention of the greaser girl trying to hook up with Brick felt like sulfuric acid burning through his stomach. That would just lead to more problems.

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

“Lucky for you, I know a short cut. Follow me.” Brick said, seeing a gate and running a bit towards it, he manages to unlock it due to knowing the code. He opens the door, letting himself out and being a gentleman of letting Jeremy out of the shit show party. He walked towards his car aka cherry red chevy impala, he unlocks it, getting into the drivers seat. He asked “shouldn’t we get the girls? pretty sure Millie doesn’t have a ride.” While sitting in the drivers seat.

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

Jeremy crossed his arms. “You know I drove here right? I’m not just gonna leave my car here.”

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

“No? Pretty sure nobody told me, I gotta get home anyway.” Brick said, starting his car, putting on his seatbelt, checking his mirrors and such.

We see Millie and Lauren rush out the front door, making Brick confused as hell and blinking softly to himself and said “guess they escaped or something—“ The two girls were already waiting by Jeremy’s car, out of breath. Brick suddenly said “call me tomorrow whenever you feel like it Jeremy, I miss our phone conversations.” He suddenly smiled softly, before rolling up his window, managing to get out of the driveway and driving himself back home.

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

Jeremy stared at Brick’s car as he drove away. “Maybe I will..” He muttered to himself. And he might just be telling the truth.

Lauren called out to him from next to his car, extremely impatient to leave. “Jeremy! Get me the hell out of this cesspool!”

Jeremy rolled his eyes, walking over to the car and fishing in his pockets for his keys. “I’m coming, I’m coming.”

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

Millie said “somebody almost threw up on me, disgusting asshole—“ while annoyed a bit, fixing her blond hair while sighing in relief.

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

“Everyone in there is lacking in class so much, it’s sickening.” Lauren scoffed.

Jeremy found his keys and unlocked his car, opening the driver-side door, getting into the driver’s seat. “I still have no clue why we wanted to come. It’s not our scene anyway.” He turned the car engine over and the engine of the navy blue chevy roared to life.

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

Millie said “pretty sure Brick was forced to go and I unfortunately got an invite too— I didn’t wanna go but sadly had no choice.” She got in the back of Jeremy’s navy blue chevy and putted her seatbelt on.

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

Lauren got in on the opposite side and also buckled her seatbelt. “I would’ve just said no and told the person to go to hell.”

Jeremy scoffed from the driver’s seat as he started to back out of the driveway. “*That’s* because you’re you.”

Lauren shrugged. “I just don’t do things I don’t wanna do.”

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

Millie smiled softly and “of course, not everybody wants to do it- he’ll, I rather go on vacation and sip on a mocktail.”

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

Lauren hummed in agreement. “Thats the dream, right there.”

Jeremy looked Millie through his rearview mirror. “Alright, where do you live, Diamond?” He asked, wanting to know where he had to drop her off at. He knew where Lauren lived, he was the one who drove her to the party, but he wasn’t sure about Millie.

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

Millie said “few blocks from Lauren’s place and by the way, Lauren you’re coming with me on vacation. No arguments hehe.” She smiled softly while clapping a bit.

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

Lauren rolled her eyes, but there was no actual annoyance behind it for once. “Alright, I guess.”

After a few minutes, Jeremy pulled up in the Richards’ family driveway, and Lauren let herself out of the car. She was halfway up the driveway when she looked at Jeremy in the driver’s window “Next time I’m picking the party.” She pointed at him for emphasis. “I don’t trust you anymore.” She then walked the rest of the way up her house’s front steps, and disappeared inside for the night.

Jeremy rolled his eyes at that and started to back the car out of the driveway. He looked at Millie in the rearview window again. “Isn’t she a delight?” He asked, his voice dripping with sarcasm and his question clearly rhetorical. His next question was a genuine one, though. “You said you live a few blocks over, which street?”

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

Millie said “somewhere around fifth street-“ she yawned a bit, sighing in relief and blinking a bit but is staying awake.

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

Brick was chilling in some living room, having a few sips of beer since he was at a party for one of his friends, while Millie was chatting with some random girls that she knew, hearing that Jeremy and Lauren have arrived too- she knew that poor Brick had a thing for the bratty soc.

| @tulsas-nameless-faces |

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

Jeremy and Lauren walked into the party, looking way too nice to be there. Jeremy had on a tan sweater and a white button down underneath, with beige slacks and brown dress shoes.

Lauren was wearing a red blouse with a matching miniskirt, and black heels that looked painful to walk in, but she strutted in them like a model anyway.

The two of them looked around and Lauren scoffed. “Remind me why we’re in this greasy pit, Cooper?”

Jeremy only looked at her. “Free beer, I guess?” He looked around the party, music blasting and teens crashing into each other while dancing. “I don’t know why we came either, honestly. This place is a dump..”

Lauren rolled her eyes and a greaser boy slowly approached her. Before he could even open his mouth, however, she noticed him and gave him a glare sharp enough to kill. “As if, you goddamn slime ball. Move along.” She barked, and he widened his eyes in shock and slinked away to find a less terrifying girl..

Jeremy only chuckled. When will these idiots learn?

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

Millie suddenly saw the two, walking over to them and said “hey gals, welcome to hell— if you’re wondering where the Brick head is, he’s chilling in some living room and drinking..” she was checking her nails, noticing the chaos that was happening in this two time loser party that one of Brick’s rich greaser friends are hosting, feeling amused.

It tasted like it came from a corner store, which it probably did. Probably wasn’t actually bought either. But Jeremy could feel he was starting to get buzzed, so he didn’t care as much as he usually would have.

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

Until Brick himself had enough of the hallway and walked downstairs, one of Brick’s friends who we will call Joe came over to him and said “hey Brick, you feel like doing some drugs?.. maybe some weed to wake yourself up and clear your headache?..” Brick said in a bit mood tone “no Joe, I don’t wanna get high—.. I’m not risking myself getting in trouble. You know this shit by now.” He managed to walk away from Joe before he could peer pressure him into more about doing drugs with him.

Then he groaned. “Aw, to hell with it.” He downed the last of his beer, grimaced at the taste of the cheap alcohol and placed the cup on the counter. “I’ll go talk to the asshole.” He fixed the collar of his button-down and walked past Millie to head to the backyard to check on Brick.

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

Millie smiled softly and suddenly looked at Lauren, she said “I know he secretly doesn’t hate him, he just doesn’t wanna admit it—..” while giggling softly.

Brick heard a voice, he opened his eyes to see Jeremy next to him and said “guess Millie told you? I’m not surprised, the girlie can’t keep her mouth shut—.. I hate to say it but it’s nice to see you blondie.” His tone was somewhat soft, continuing to smoke his half smoked cigarette bud before settling it off against the grass.

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

Jeremy chuckled. “Tell me about it.” He sat down next to Brick, smoothing out his slacks internally cringing at the dirt stains that were going to be on the backs of his legs after. He stayed silent after that last part, though. Deep down, he felt the same way. But he’d never say it, not out loud. His pride would never let him.

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

“As Millie said— it’s hell. It’s fucking horrible. Especially since Joe became a huge weed dealer in Tulsa, I can’t stand him.” Brick said, having a bit of a headache and sighing softly, suddenly looking at Jeremy with an upset look in his eyes. He suddenly smiled a bit and said “I’ll take you over Joe any day, screw him- heard that man almost got caught selling weed in the alleyways.” He chuckled a bit but deep down, he knew that he couldn’t have Jeremy due to their differences but Brick didn’t care, he wanted Jeremy to himself without nobody watching them.

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

Jeremy let out a low whistle. “Damn you must really hate that guy to prefer hanging out with *me*, huh?” He joked.

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

“Oh absolutely. I can take you home if you can’t stand this fucked up party, I wanna leave. A greaser girl almost wanted to hook up with me but I said no.” Brick said, standing up, looking down at Jeremy and held out his hand towards him.

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

Jeremy looked at his hand, but opted to stand up himself. He dusted off his slacks and straightened up. “Yeah, let’s get out of this shithole.” He tried not to think about how the mention of the greaser girl trying to hook up with Brick felt like sulfuric acid burning through his stomach. That would just lead to more problems.

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

“Lucky for you, I know a short cut. Follow me.” Brick said, seeing a gate and running a bit towards it, he manages to unlock it due to knowing the code. He opens the door, letting himself out and being a gentleman of letting Jeremy out of the shit show party. He walked towards his car aka cherry red chevy impala, he unlocks it, getting into the drivers seat. He asked “shouldn’t we get the girls? pretty sure Millie doesn’t have a ride.” While sitting in the drivers seat.

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

Jeremy crossed his arms. “You know I drove here right? I’m not just gonna leave my car here.”

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

“No? Pretty sure nobody told me, I gotta get home anyway.” Brick said, starting his car, putting on his seatbelt, checking his mirrors and such.

We see Millie and Lauren rush out the front door, making Brick confused as hell and blinking softly to himself and said “guess they escaped or something—“ The two girls were already waiting by Jeremy’s car, out of breath. Brick suddenly said “call me tomorrow whenever you feel like it Jeremy, I miss our phone conversations.” He suddenly smiled softly, before rolling up his window, managing to get out of the driveway and driving himself back home.

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

Jeremy stared at Brick’s car as he drove away. “Maybe I will..” He muttered to himself. And he might just be telling the truth.

Lauren called out to him from next to his car, extremely impatient to leave. “Jeremy! Get me the hell out of this cesspool!”

Jeremy rolled his eyes, walking over to the car and fishing in his pockets for his keys. “I’m coming, I’m coming.”

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

Millie said “somebody almost threw up on me, disgusting asshole—“ while annoyed a bit, fixing her blond hair while sighing in relief.

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

“Everyone in there is lacking in class so much, it’s sickening.” Lauren scoffed.

Jeremy found his keys and unlocked his car, opening the driver-side door, getting into the driver’s seat. “I still have no clue why we wanted to come. It’s not our scene anyway.” He turned the car engine over and the engine of the navy blue chevy roared to life.

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

Millie said “pretty sure Brick was forced to go and I unfortunately got an invite too— I didn’t wanna go but sadly had no choice.” She got in the back of Jeremy’s navy blue chevy and putted her seatbelt on.

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

Lauren got in on the opposite side and also buckled her seatbelt. “I would’ve just said no and told the person to go to hell.”

Jeremy scoffed from the driver’s seat as he started to back out of the driveway. “*That’s* because you’re you.”

Lauren shrugged. “I just don’t do things I don’t wanna do.”

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

Millie smiled softly and “of course, not everybody wants to do it- he’ll, I rather go on vacation and sip on a mocktail.”

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

Brick was chilling in some living room, having a few sips of beer since he was at a party for one of his friends, while Millie was chatting with some random girls that she knew, hearing that Jeremy and Lauren have arrived too- she knew that poor Brick had a thing for the bratty soc.

| @tulsas-nameless-faces |

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

Jeremy and Lauren walked into the party, looking way too nice to be there. Jeremy had on a tan sweater and a white button down underneath, with beige slacks and brown dress shoes.

Lauren was wearing a red blouse with a matching miniskirt, and black heels that looked painful to walk in, but she strutted in them like a model anyway.

The two of them looked around and Lauren scoffed. “Remind me why we’re in this greasy pit, Cooper?”

Jeremy only looked at her. “Free beer, I guess?” He looked around the party, music blasting and teens crashing into each other while dancing. “I don’t know why we came either, honestly. This place is a dump..”

Lauren rolled her eyes and a greaser boy slowly approached her. Before he could even open his mouth, however, she noticed him and gave him a glare sharp enough to kill. “As if, you goddamn slime ball. Move along.” She barked, and he widened his eyes in shock and slinked away to find a less terrifying girl..

Jeremy only chuckled. When will these idiots learn?

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

Millie suddenly saw the two, walking over to them and said “hey gals, welcome to hell— if you’re wondering where the Brick head is, he’s chilling in some living room and drinking..” she was checking her nails, noticing the chaos that was happening in this two time loser party that one of Brick’s rich greaser friends are hosting, feeling amused.

Meanwhile Brick decided to get his loser ass up, walking upstairs to go use the restroom, not noticing that some random greaser girl is following him. He mumbled “I’m not interested in hooking up, please leave me alone while I go clear my horrible head..” making the random greaser girl not follow him anymore, making him walk inside the bathroom that smelled a bit bad, locking the door and doing his business. Once he was done in the restroom after washing his hands, he opened the door and just started walking in the hallway.

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

Meanwhile downstairs, Jeremy was standing in the kitchen, completely uninterested and plastic cup in hand, not doing much except drinking the cheap booze offered at the party. Lauren refused to drink it, saying she was “above that shit.”

Lauren looked around the party, punch in hand (that had probably been spiked), equally as unimpressed by the classless behavior surrounding here. “I seriously wanna ditch this place..” She muttered, looking up at Jeremy. “How about you? You sick of this dump yet?”

Jeremy looked down at her, shrugging. “I’ll miss the shitty beer, but I could leave.” To emphasize, he took a sip of the beer in his cup. It tasted like it came from a corner store, which it probably did. Probably wasn’t actually bought either. But Jeremy could feel he was starting to get buzzed, so he didn’t care as much as he usually would have.

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

Until Brick himself had enough of the hallway and walked downstairs, one of Brick’s friends who we will call Joe came over to him and said “hey Brick, you feel like doing some drugs?.. maybe some weed to wake yourself up and clear your headache?..” Brick said in a bit mood tone “no Joe, I don’t wanna get high—.. I’m not risking myself getting in trouble. You know this shit by now.” He managed to walk away from Joe before he could peer pressure him into more about doing drugs with him.

He suddenly walked into the kitchen where he could see Jeremy and the gals here, not wanting to socialize with them, he decided to walk outside towards the backyard and sit underneath a tree while gazing towards the stars. Millie could notice something was off with Brick as he was walking past them and said “guess Joe got into his head again with the weed shit—.. any of you want a backstory?..” she asked towards the two.

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

Jeremy and Lauren looked at each other.

Lauren looked at Millie. “I don’t give a shit what that was about.” She said flatly, then she looked at Jeremy. “Seems you might, though.”

Jeremy looked at her, scowling (mainly at her very correct observation). “Well excuse me that I heard ‘weed’ and wanted to know what the hell was going on.” He looked at Millie. “..But, that *was* kind of weird. The hell was going on there?”

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

Millie said “Brick and Joe used to be tight when they were young kids, staying out of trouble and so forth—.. well until they got into their early teens, Joe started to sell ‘weed’ around outside of school, trying to get the youngsters high as a doorknob. Brick didn’t like this because he was afraid that Joe was gonna sell weed towards his younger brother, so Brick decided to confront him about this and told him to stop. It unfortunately didn’t work, so Joe had some back up, getting his gang to rough house with Brick until they held him down and Joe forced him to take some, basically peer pressuring him into taking some. Once Brick managed to fight them off, he ran away, getting away from Joe and his gang as fast as possible.. Brick doesn’t really interact with Joe as you can see from their interaction.” She sighed softly as she watches Brick by the window.

Meanwhile Brick was lighting a cigarette and having a hanged cigarette on his mouth while still glazing towards the stars.

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

Jeremy was stunned silent. He vaguely remembered Joe from when him and Brick were children. He never spoke to him a lot, as he was more Brick’s friend than Jeremy’s, but he’d heard Brick mention him from time to time. After he broke off the friendship, he barely ever saw Brick, so he pretty much forgot Joe existed. “Wow.. Never knew about that.” Was all he could manage out. He followed Millie’s gaze out the window and saw Brick. His jaw tightened slightly.

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

“I wouldn’t suggest beating up Joe, it’s not worth it— I can hire some pranksters to prank Joe for revenge. However, you should talk to Brick- he doesn’t really seem happy to be here.” Millie said, mumbling that towards Jeremy and feeling worried for Brick, even if she didn’t like him at times.

Joe was chatting with some buddies of his while laughing and smoking some cigarettes that he stole.

Brick blew some smoke from his mouth, softly singing a song to himself while humming to it. He could feel eyes on him but he chose to ignore it since he didn’t care at all.

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

Jeremy pursed his lips for a moment. He looked at Lauren.

Lauren gave him a deadpan look. “What, are you trying to ask my permission or something? If you wanna talk to him, go talk to him.” She rolled her eyes, finishing off her cup of punch and checking her nails. She gave him a sideways glance. Almost encouraging him to do so, albeit silently.

He suddenly walked into the kitchen where he could see Jeremy and the gals here, not wanting to socialize with them, he decided to walk outside towards the backyard and sit underneath a tree while gazing towards the stars. Millie could notice something was off with Brick as he was walking past them and said “guess Joe got into his head again with the weed shit—.. any of you want a backstory?..” she asked towards the two.

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

Jeremy and Lauren looked at each other.

Lauren looked at Millie. “I don’t give a shit what that was about.” She said flatly, then she looked at Jeremy. “Seems you might, though.”

Jeremy looked at her, scowling (mainly at her very correct observation). “Well excuse me that I heard ‘weed’ and wanted to know what the hell was going on.” He looked at Millie. “..But, that *was* kind of weird. The hell was going on there?”

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

Millie said “Brick and Joe used to be tight when they were young kids, staying out of trouble and so forth—.. well until they got into their early teens, Joe started to sell ‘weed’ around outside of school, trying to get the youngsters high as a doorknob. Brick didn’t like this because he was afraid that Joe was gonna sell weed towards his younger brother, so Brick decided to confront him about this and told him to stop. It unfortunately didn’t work, so Joe had some back up, getting his gang to rough house with Brick until they held him down and Joe forced him to take some, basically peer pressuring him into taking some. Once Brick managed to fight them off, he ran away, getting away from Joe and his gang as fast as possible.. Brick doesn’t really interact with Joe as you can see from their interaction.” She sighed softly as she watches Brick by the window.

Meanwhile Brick was lighting a cigarette and having a hanged cigarette on his mouth while still glazing towards the stars.

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

Jeremy was stunned silent. He vaguely remembered Joe from when him and Brick were children. He never spoke to him a lot, as he was more Brick’s friend than Jeremy’s, but he’d heard Brick mention him from time to time. After he broke off the friendship, he barely ever saw Brick, so he pretty much forgot Joe existed. “Wow.. Never knew about that.” Was all he could manage out. He followed Millie’s gaze out the window and saw Brick. His jaw tightened slightly.

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

“I wouldn’t suggest beating up Joe, it’s not worth it— I can hire some pranksters to prank Joe for revenge. However, you should talk to Brick- he doesn’t really seem happy to be here.” Millie said, mumbling that towards Jeremy and feeling worried for Brick, even if she didn’t like him at times.

Joe was chatting with some buddies of his while laughing and smoking some cigarettes that he stole.

Brick blew some smoke from his mouth, softly singing a song to himself while humming to it. He could feel eyes on him but he chose to ignore it since he didn’t care at all.

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

Jeremy pursed his lips for a moment. He looked at Lauren.

Lauren gave him a deadpan look. “What, are you trying to ask my permission or something? If you wanna talk to him, go talk to him.” She rolled her eyes, finishing off her cup of punch and checking her nails. She gave him a sideways glance. Almost encouraging him to do so, albeit silently.

Jeremy was quiet for a moment. Then he groaned. “Aw, to hell with it.” He downed the last of his beer, grimaced at the taste of the cheap alcohol and placed the cup on the counter. “I’ll go talk to the asshole.” He fixed the collar of his button-down and walked past Millie to head to the backyard to check on Brick.

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

Millie smiled softly and suddenly looked at Lauren, she said “I know he secretly doesn’t hate him, he just doesn’t wanna admit it—..” while giggling softly.

Brick heard a voice, he opened his eyes to see Jeremy next to him and said “guess Millie told you? I’m not surprised, the girlie can’t keep her mouth shut—.. I hate to say it but it’s nice to see you blondie.” His tone was somewhat soft, continuing to smoke his half smoked cigarette bud before settling it off against the grass.

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

Jeremy chuckled. “Tell me about it.” He sat down next to Brick, smoothing out his slacks internally cringing at the dirt stains that were going to be on the backs of his legs after. He stayed silent after that last part, though. Deep down, he felt the same way. But he’d never say it, not out loud. His pride would never let him.

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

“As Millie said— it’s hell. It’s fucking horrible. Especially since Joe became a huge weed dealer in Tulsa, I can’t stand him.” Brick said, having a bit of a headache and sighing softly, suddenly looking at Jeremy with an upset look in his eyes. He suddenly smiled a bit and said “I’ll take you over Joe any day, screw him- heard that man almost got caught selling weed in the alleyways.” He chuckled a bit but deep down, he knew that he couldn’t have Jeremy due to their differences but Brick didn’t care, he wanted Jeremy to himself without nobody watching them.

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

Jeremy let out a low whistle. “Damn you must really hate that guy to prefer hanging out with *me*, huh?” He joked.

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

“Oh absolutely. I can take you home if you can’t stand this fucked up party, I wanna leave. A greaser girl almost wanted to hook up with me but I said no.” Brick said, standing up, looking down at Jeremy and held out his hand towards him.

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

Jeremy looked at his hand, but opted to stand up himself. He dusted off his slacks and straightened up. “Yeah, let’s get out of this shithole.” He tried not to think about how the mention of the greaser girl trying to hook up with Brick felt like sulfuric acid burning through his stomach. That would just lead to more problems.

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

“Lucky for you, I know a short cut. Follow me.” Brick said, seeing a gate and running a bit towards it, he manages to unlock it due to knowing the code. He opens the door, letting himself out and being a gentleman of letting Jeremy out of the shit show party. He walked towards his car aka cherry red chevy impala, he unlocks it, getting into the drivers seat. He asked “shouldn’t we get the girls? pretty sure Millie doesn’t have a ride.” While sitting in the drivers seat.

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

Jeremy crossed his arms. “You know I drove here right? I’m not just gonna leave my car here.”

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

“No? Pretty sure nobody told me, I gotta get home anyway.” Brick said, starting his car, putting on his seatbelt, checking his mirrors and such.

We see Millie and Lauren rush out the front door, making Brick confused as hell and blinking softly to himself and said “guess they escaped or something—“ The two girls were already waiting by Jeremy’s car, out of breath. Brick suddenly said “call me tomorrow whenever you feel like it Jeremy, I miss our phone conversations.” He suddenly smiled softly, before rolling up his window, managing to get out of the driveway and driving himself back home.

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

Brick was chilling in some living room, having a few sips of beer since he was at a party for one of his friends, while Millie was chatting with some random girls that she knew, hearing that Jeremy and Lauren have arrived too- she knew that poor Brick had a thing for the bratty soc.

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

Jeremy and Lauren walked into the party, looking way too nice to be there. Jeremy had on a tan sweater and a white button down underneath, with beige slacks and brown dress shoes.

Lauren was wearing a red blouse with a matching miniskirt, and black heels that looked painful to walk in, but she strutted in them like a model anyway.

The two of them looked around and Lauren scoffed. “Remind me why we’re in this greasy pit, Cooper?”

Jeremy only looked at her. “Free beer, I guess?” He looked around the party, music blasting and teens crashing into each other while dancing. “I don’t know why we came either, honestly. This place is a dump..”

Lauren rolled her eyes and a greaser boy slowly approached her. Before he could even open his mouth, however, she noticed him and gave him a glare sharp enough to kill. “As if, you goddamn slime ball. Move along.” She barked, and he widened his eyes in shock and slinked away to find a less terrifying girl..

Jeremy only chuckled. When will these idiots learn?

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

Millie suddenly saw the two, walking over to them and said “hey gals, welcome to hell— if you’re wondering where the Brick head is, he’s chilling in some living room and drinking..” she was checking her nails, noticing the chaos that was happening in this two time loser party that one of Brick’s rich greaser friends are hosting, feeling amused.

Meanwhile Brick decided to get his loser ass up, walking upstairs to go use the restroom, not noticing that some random greaser girl is following him. He mumbled “I’m not interested in hooking up, please leave me alone while I go clear my horrible head..” making the random greaser girl not follow him anymore, making him walk inside the bathroom that smelled a bit bad, locking the door and doing his business. Once he was done in the restroom after washing his hands, he opened the door and just started walking in the hallway.

[tulsas-nameless-faces]

Meanwhile downstairs, Jeremy was standing in the kitchen, completely uninterested and plastic cup in hand, not doing much except drinking the cheap booze offered at the party. Lauren refused to drink it, saying she was “above that shit.”

Lauren looked around the party, punch in hand (that had probably been spiked), equally as unimpressed by the classless behavior surrounding here. “I seriously wanna ditch this place..” She muttered, looking up at Jeremy. “How about you? You sick of this dump yet?”

Jeremy looked down at her, shrugging. “I’ll miss the shitty beer, but I could leave.” To emphasize, he took a sip of the beer in his cup. It tasted like it came from a corner store, which it probably did. Probably wasn’t actually bought either. But Jeremy could feel he was starting to get buzzed, so he didn’t care as much as he usually would have.

[askan0nsoutsider0css]

Until Brick himself had enough of the hallway and walked downstairs, one of Brick’s friends who we will call Joe came over to him and said “hey Brick, you feel like doing some drugs?.. maybe some weed to wake yourself up and clear your headache?..” Brick said in a bit mood tone “no Joe, I don’t wanna get high—..
