∴ HERE'S TO THE FAST TIMES

       “You don’t remember good ole’ Lincoln?” She posed the question with a small smile playing on her lips. Though she didn’t have all her memories she did remember that part of high school. How no one could ever be true to anyone. “Just go out those two doors and keep going straight and when you hear everyone screaming or talking excessively – well that is the gym. There was nothing wrong with Potter world was there?”

“Not really.” He admitted with a shrug. It wasn’t that Max had blotted it entirely out, it was just easier to forget some things. It’d been twenty years, hadn’t it? But he found it much easier to let some things go. “Nah, I like Harry Potter, just a little silly sometimes.”

He leans forward in his seat, “Both lets do both” he says now, pointing to both of the bottles.  There was no time, as the present. And Jos, was not wasting any moment of it. Not this time around. 

“Both it is.” Max handed one of the bottles over to Jos, figuring he wasn’t too picky about which one he wanted. As he popped the lid off of the other, he took a quick swig of it. He tried not to wince at the bitter taste. “Cheers.”

         “Hey now you were the one that brought up the story in the first place. We’re not going to go down memory lane?”

“What can I say, I prefer to live in the present.”

“Yeah but being an adult comes with all those shitty rules. Things we don’t have to worry about right now. “ which was right, he didn’t have to worry about anything. Not right now anyways. Or well, he just needed to stay away from his brother, but so far he was doing fine, “More things we don’t have to worry about. Is there any alcohol still around?”

“Uh—yeah, I guess that’s true, too.” Max shrugged, looking around. “Yeah, hold on. I know I hid some last night...” Turning around, he spotted the bottles of liquor. “Take your pick,” He held them both up. “Whiskey or vodka? Or both?”

“You’re right man, no complaints here either. I mean think of all the shit we couldn’t do because it just wasn’t proper?” thought that never stopped Josiah when they where in their thirties, but still. 

“Fuck being proper, I’m always down for anything. Besides, so many people bitch and moan ‘cause they feel like they wasted their youth. We’re getting a second shot. I’m all about positivity and karma, man. You get back what you give into the world.”

       “You have to give me more than just that – cause I swear I can’t remember high school.” That was probably cause Elijah had always been pulling pranks and paying little to no attention in school. If he was honest those four years were just a huge blur with him – with the drinking, parties and drugs. They truly were the best years of his life – well a couple of them. He didn’t have a tragic sad story attached to him.

“If you don’t remember, then maybe it wasn’t that awesome.” Max said with a short scoff, not daring to elaborate further.

        “Well the gym is filled with people demanding answers and saying they want to get back with their lives mixed with small orgies here and there – then you have the pool where Satan currently resides.” Eliza explained as her index finger moved up and down before she dropped her hands besides her. “That’s easy get a witch and make him or her to give you an invisible blanket.”

“Orgies, huh?” Max couldn’t help but quirk an eyebrow, clearly intrigued. “Care to tell me which way it is to the gym?” He asked, laughing loudly—although, yeah. That did sound like a damn good time. “That is a little bit too Harry Potter-y for me. Can’t they make something invisible that’s fashionable?”

        Eliza was drying her hair with a towel before she ran into the male in front of her. “Right – um – well I am glad someone is looking at the bright side to all of this. Avoid the gym and the pool – cause they will be serious mood killers – not even kidding. Perhaps just avoid this whole town.”

“That bad, huh?” He asks at a glance, watching her carefully moment. He returns to his own reflection—briefly, deciding that maybe he’s stared at himself enough. For today anyways. “The first two sound easy, not sure how I can avoid the entire place without leaving, though.”
