DON'T STAND SO CLOSE, GLEEKS

[bandit]

The world as of late had been full of wonders everywhere Bandit seemed to turn. She didn't really understand how she had gotten to be so lucky. After all, she knew the most amazing people in the world. Of course, she hadn't been across the world, but she assumed. Bandit was a little bit different than the kids that she surrounded herself with. Not that it was a bad thing, of course. She just didn't find interest in a lot of the things that she did was all. Gwen was clearly all caught up in Seth and likewise with him. It was all ridiculously cute and romantic and to be completely honest, Bandit could not have possibly been any happier for the both of them. Now, when it came to her friends, she had quite a few of them, but Gwen and Seth probably had to be two of her best if she had to put a label on them. They were the ones who hung around her whenever she needed people to talk to and didn’t really care that she was a little more childish than they were. She liked that the most about them. They were their own persons and they didn’t let anyone try and change them into the things they wanted them to be. They always had a way of making Bandit happy and they always had a way of making her laugh. That’s all she could have asked for, though, right? Either way, tonight was a special night because Graham was back in town. Oh, Graham. There were so many different ways of explaining him and yet she couldn’t even begin to do so. He was her confidant. Bandit literally felt like she could tell him absolutely anything that was on her mind and she knew he wouldn’t judge her or look down upon her from anything that happened to be running through her head.

Needless to say, the group was tight nit and a group outing was long past due. Graham was literally the icing on their friend cake and Bandit was going to get a big piece of it. With a few calls and a few twitter pages she had to write on earlier that day, she took the liberty of getting the gang together that evening. After all, she needed a night out on the town with the people that she cared the most about. As of late, her brother’s treatment hadn’t exactly been going as planned and anyone who knew at least a little bit about Bandit knew how close she and her brother were. After all, they were twins and twins were supposed to be close. She felt so incredibly worthless and weak when it came to Scout and his cancer. In a way, she felt like she needed to do something to make him get better, but she didn’t know what to do and it killed her inside. Of course, nobody would ever see that pain in her eyes because no one looked hard enough. That’s what Bandit was known for, her upbeat and happy personality. There was no sense in being sad, though. With her brother as an example, life was way too short to worry about silly things like being weak and not being able to change things that are inevitable. With a grin and an accomplished nod, Bandit closed the lid of her laptop and pushed herself away from her desk and skipped her way into the bathroom. There was absolutely no way she was going out in public looking the way that she did. Gwen would definitely frown upon being seen with her looking like she did and she liked it when the dark haired girl was happy.

Stepping out of the shower, she wrapped a towel around herself and made her way back into her room to sort through the clothes in her closet. Picking out her clothes, she tossed them on the bed and ventured back into the bathroom in order to blow dry her hair. The only one she had yet to call was Colton and she had that thought in the back of her mind. Colton had been found on her mind quite a bit recently. He was a really good guy that she managed to hit it off with rather fabulously. He was the latest addition to their little posse, so naturally, he was tagging along with them tonight. Well, Bandit was literally going to force him to anyway. Finally finishing up with her hair, she skipped into her bedroom and dressed herself. Afterwards, she grabbed her phone off of her nightstand and dialed Colton’s number. After managing to convince him to join them for the evening, she hung up and finished getting ready. There wasn’t a word in the dictionary that could explain how excited she was for the evening. She missed Graham rather terribly and she had a lot to discuss with him when she had a chance. Grabbing her keys off of the counter, she made her way outside and to her car. It wasn’t the most attractive looking car, but it got her from point a to point b and that’s all a car was really good for in the first place. Putting the key in the engine and turning it, she listened at it roared to life. Turning up the radio, she backed out of her driveway and made her way towards the bowling alley. Knowing Gwen, she was already their waiting on her to get there. Bandit was the late one in the group and she was more than alright with that. A five minute drive from her place was all it took and upon pulling in the parking lot she saw Gwen’s car. Of course she thought with a grin and exited her vehicle, locking it behind her. Tonight was going to be a night to remember, she was absolutely sure of it.

[gwen]

There were two things in life that Gwen loved. The first thing she loved was performing, and anybody that knew just a little about her, knew that much. She always wanted to be the center of attention everywhere she went. Which also meant that she wanted the lead role in nearly every show she auditioned and she was a pretty sore loser if she didn’t get the part she desired, but she eventually got over it and moved on, finding some other director that better appreciated her talents. In high school there were plenty of people that reminded her that acting wasn’t a real job, and the chances of her ever making it as a professional actor always in the spotlight, making a decent living, were slim. Gwen would never give up her dream, and honestly she couldn’t have cared any less about those ignorant sons of bitches. The person that had gotten her through the first two years of high school was Seth. She had introduced him to the world of acting, and soon he fully understood her ambitions. She felt bad leaving him her junior year, but if she was going to be serious about her future, she had to attend a performing arts school. Now she attends NYU and performs on stage in New York City.

Her second love? The people in her life, well the genuine ones anyways. Her mom and her dad were at the top of that list, and they always would be. Even though she was adopted, she had the most supportive parents in the world who would do anything for her. The other people that she deeply cared about she was meeting at the bowling alley tonight: Graham, Bandit, and of course, Seth. Graham she had met through work, and they had hit it off as friends. The age gap between them didn’t matter, because they ended forming a family like bond. If Graham ever witnessed Gwen getting too big of a head, he would quickly put her in check, and she never got mad at him for it. Bandit was a girl she had met, and quickly became good friends with. She seemed trustworthy enough and Bandit never seemed to mind being around her or putting up with her huge ego, which automatically meant that she was a keeper. Aside from that Gwen didn’t have very many girl friends, or close friends either. There were lots of secrets Bandit knew, and they could always confide in each other. Seth was the guy that Gwen had fallen for in high school, and she was still desperately in love with him, and not once had they ever dated or been intimate. Sure it killed her, but she was holding out for him, and as long as they hung out and stayed in contact, she always would.

Gwen was early everywhere. She had always been taught that it was important to be on time, if not fifteen to thirty minutes early everywhere, especially when it came to auditions, in case they were ready for you early or an emergency comes up with your car or whatever. When Gwen arrived at the bowling alley, she spotted no familiar cars, which she was use to. So she sat in her car, listened to music, sang along, and waited. Every time she heard a car roll over pavement she peered out the window to see if it was anyone of her friends. Gwen popped upon her car door and ran to attack Bandit. ”Bandit! I love you!” She squealed, throwing her arms around her friend. It’s not like she hadn’t seen her recently, Gwen had just been working a lot lately, and she had landed a movie roll she was preparing for, which was definitely bringing on plenty of stress that she could handle, but she needed this night to let loose for sure. She let go of Bandit, and her face drained of its color as she realized something, ”I’m pretty sure I just locked my keys in the car.” She ran over to older automobile and tugged on the handle. The key was still in the ignition too. The engine wasn’t on, but the key was turned just enough that the radio would get power. ”NO!!!!” She exclaimed, and began trying to slide the window down with her bare hands. She wasn’t strong enough. Maybe one of the boys would be of some assistance?

[seth]

seth was tired actually. he had woken quite early for no reason. something had gotten into his room through the open window and was buzzing around his head. to be honest, it wasnt even too early. it was half eleven almost, so alsmot noon. seth normally woke up at noon unless he had something to do and he didnt today. which was pretty much the reason why he was tired amd also annoyed slightly. he didnt like to miss out on his sleep, not one bit. but it was something he would have to deal with. he couldnt even blame being woken up by his flat mate, because he didnt have one anymore. up until two weeks ago seth had shared his apartment with another guy who was new in new york. he was funny and good for money, he never owed seth the rent and stuff. he knew if he did he would be good for it a few days later anyway. but their friendship had ended drastically and dramatically when seth had walked in on his flat mate with his hand on his now ex girlfriends leg and their lips locked in a fierce make out session. seth had fallen hard for this girl, the first nice girl he had met in new york, so finding his first friend making out with his girlfriend tore him apart. he had blown up, grabbing a few bags from the cupboard under the sink and throwing his ex friends clothes into them and then the full bags out of the window. his apartment was on the third floor, so the bags fell and split when they hit the ground. it made seth feel a little better, and his friend had gotten what he wanted anyway - seths girlfriend. so yeah, seth was single and alone in his apartment. but otherwise, life was good. you see, he had this really close group of friends who he seriously loved. gwen, his best friend since high school. shed moved in junior year and then hed found her again in new york. they had this bffl kind of relationship, but honestly, seth was beginning to see a different side of his long time best friend. he doubted anything would come of it though so hadnt taken anything further yet. then there was bandit, a new friend. but seth loved the pretty blonde so much already. they talked a lot, even if it was just on social network sites like twitter, but they were close. graham cooper, the father figure of the group. he was older than the rest of them but seth looked up the the guy. he trusted him and knew he would be able to depend on him should the time arise. and the colton. colton was the newbie in the group and seth hadnt spoken to him much. but he figured if he was in the group he must be a pretty cool kid. and he missed his friend group, they hadnt had a group outing in a little while. so he was happy that his phone buzzed telling him he had an @ reply on his twitter. it was from bandit, telling him they were going bowling that night. a smile crept onto seths face, he wasnt tired anymore. now, he was just excited.

when the time for going out got nearer he shut off the television he had been watching. hed been watching some show on mtv about some family with problems. didnt all families have problems? he had a small dislike for his father, his dad hadnt wanted him to pursie an acting career. at least not a theatre career anyway. and his mother was overly encouraging. he loved both of his parents but he was happy to be away from them, even if it was only one state away. it was six now, and seth needed to be at the bowling alley for seven at the latest. he wasnt one to be late, he prefered to be right on time. but he knew gwen would be early, so he figured hed try get there before the arranged time too. he liked to make some sort of an effort when he went out with his friends. yeah, it was only to the bowling alley but appearances mattered. especially for a star in the making! he had a shower, washing his short black hair before getting out, getting dressed and drying it. he grabbed a plaid shirt from his over crowded wardrobe and pulled it over his head. he didnt unbutton shirts when he took them off - it was way easier to just slip them over your head. and so they were washed fully buttoned up too. it was red and black, but not harsh red or black, just nice. he pulled on a pair of dark grey jeans too and one of his favourite pairs of leather boots. he liked to accessorise a little too, so took a peace symbol necklace off of his bed side table and hung that around his neck. he wasnt one of those hippy types who took conservation of the world too far or anything, he simply liked the necklace when he had seen it in the store near his apartment. it had been cheap too, which made it even better. he loved a bargain, he tried to get a bargain a day. his mother always said, "a bargain a day keeps the debt collectors away," and she had been right. he hadnt been in debt since he was twelve, and that was only for going over on his allowance one month. he always took a bag with him when he went out too, just in case he needed anything. in the bag he put a bottle of water and a chocolate bar aswell as his camera and spair batteries. he loved to take pictures so he would have the photos for ever, meaning he would have the memories forever. he finally picked up his wayfarer styled sunglasses and his car keys and left his building.

it was only a short drive to the place where the group were meeting so he got there pretty quickly. and it was five to seven too, so he was early, if only a little bit. there was gwens car. and bandits must have been there too as he saw the pretty blonde wrapped in his best friends arms. gwen was lovely like that. and so was bandit for tolerating her tendencies. he always tolerated her though. he knew her passion for acting and it had been her that had gotten him into actually acting, not just watching it. he parked up near to gwens car and got out to see her running back. he braced himself for one of her hugs but heard her shout that shed locked her keys in her car. that was so gwen, bless her. he smiled and walked over to his friends. "hey losers," he loved being able to insult his friends and know they would take no offence from his comments. well, he hoped they wouldnt anyway. "uh, gwen. do you need help?" he began to laugh and walked to his friend and hugged her from behind. he saw she was having no luck in opening the window so offered his services too. he had fat fingers, but managed to open the window a little. or enough for him to fit his hand through. he reached down and pulled up the cars lock and opened the door. the alarm started to kick in so he took the keys and gave them to gwen. he smiled and turned to bandit. "hey blondie." he stepped over to her and hugged her too. he loved being around friends, and honestly couldnt wait to see graham and to get to know colton. it was good to have the group altogether, being geeks like they were. gwen especially.

so i have written this post for the gleeks, i.e. gwen, bandit, graham and colton and it is now finished. there are 1322 words and seth is wearing this sexy outfit. all i have to say is im so excited for the gleek squad <3.
