Chapter 10

The phone rang for about three times before Nick picked it up and accepted the phone call.
"What, Clay. Why're you calling at 4 am?"
"Can't sleep." Clay answered like it was obvious.
"Why?"
"I fell asleep for four hours earlier."
"Why? What were you doing?"
"I was with George."
"Oh, what'd you do?"
"We went to the mall and McDonald's, then I took him to the thrift shop we found a while ago. Then we went to his house afterwards and we fell asleep.
Oh, and then I also met his parents."
"Already meeting the parents, I see."
"Oh, shut up, Nick. Shit, did I wake you up?"
"Kind of, I guess."
"Shit, sorry! I'll let you go back to sleep, but first,
can you text me George's number?"
"Sure, dude, but didn't he give it to you?"
"Nah, I didn't ask for it or anything, so,"
"Okay, then I'll text it to you."
"Thank you! Sleep well, Nick."
"Goodnight," Nick said as he ended the call, opened Clay's contact and texted him George's number,
then went back to sleep.

George laid on his bed wide awake, looking at the ceiling and thinking when a faint ping from his phone snapped him out of his thoughts.
He picked up his phone and saw a single notification from an unknown number. What? George thought to himself. I didn't give anyone my number, did I?
George thought back to what he did today.
Well there was the cashier at McDonald's, but Clay didn't let him, so that left... no one. Another ping chimed from his phone, another text from the same person. George exhaled in relief as he read it.
'It's Clay btw," it read. George smiled and sent a greeting back.

George looked into his mirror and fixed his hair as he saw an incoming FaceTime call from Clay.
Your hair looks fine, George, he convinced himself as he plugged his headphones into his phone.
"Hey, cutie," Clay said and smiled as he saw George's face, "Why aren't you asleep?"
"Might have something to do with you and falling asleep in the middle of the afternoon." George said sarcastically.
"Oh, come on, you told me to!" Clay said in a whiny tone, "You were also asleep, so you can't really say anything, my fine sir."
"Touche," George said in defeat, "But why aren't you asleep?" He asked accusingly.
"Might have something to do with me falling asleep in the middle of the afternoon. I wasn't going to, that's why I bought us the monsters."

"Talking about the monsters, they're all still here, as well as your clothes you bought earlier."
"That's what I was forgetting! Can I come back by your house tomorrow before the party and pick it up? You can bring two monsters later to school, since I guess neither of us are going to get any sleep, then after school we could get ready for the party together!" Is already Friday?
"Sure, why not. What flavour should I bring for you to school?"
"I like the white one the best but you can come with like, one white and one pink, if you'd like to try."
"Okay then." George said as he lay down on his back his bed with his phone talking with Clay.

"George, can you hear that?" George took one earbud out and listened for a second.
"Hear what? I just hear the birds-," That's when the realisation kicked in, "Shit! I need to go get ready for school! Is it really 7:15 already?" George rambled as he started to pace around his room, still wit his phone in hand. "Yes, Georgie. Now go get ready, I'll pick you up in 20!" Clay said and ended their call.
What? Does he even know how to drive? George thought to himself. Whatever. He hurried over to his closet getting out black ripped skinny jeans and a white turtleneck and grabbed one of the band t-shirt be bought the day before over the turtleneck and got white socks out of one of his drawers.
He hurried over to his bathroom, brushed his hair and teeth, washed his face and put on eyeliner.

He sat at the table eating a toast for breakfast when he heard a car honk outside his house.
He put his dish away and slipped on his black and white slip on vans, grabbed his backpack and the two monsters he put beside it and got out, closing the door carefully to not wake up his parents, like Clay hadn't already woke them up with his car honking.

"Good morning, princess," Clay said as George got into the car and handed Clay one of the cans he was holding.
"Not like we were talking literally 20 minutes ago."
Clay snickered and put the car in drive as George cracked his monster can open and took a sip.
"You look good today." Clay suddenly said.
George's head whipped to the side in shock to look at Clay as his face grew red.
"You don't look too bad yourself."George said as he looked back at the road in front of him. Clay was wearing a black hoodie with a black band t-shirt on top and black, cuffed jeans. He was wearing black platform dr. Martens and let his hair flow freely on his head.
"You can have the aux if you want." Clay said and held his hand with his phone in. George took it and took a few minutes looking for a song and shortly after an unfamiliar tone started playing in the car.
"What song is this?"
"It's called 'I miss having sex but at least I don't wanna die anymore'." George blushed lightly as he read out the title to Clay. As the song was ending Clay pulled up at the school parking lot.
"We're here!" He announced gladly and got out of the car, running to the passengers door to open it for George. George rolled his eyes and got out, grabbing his backpack and monster. Clay then ran back around the car to get his backpack from the backseat and his monster from the cup holder, then following George into the school.

A/N
Thank you so much for 500 reads! I didn't really think that anyone else than my friend would read this but this is cool. I've also got other friends but they don't understand this, one of them asked me to send them the story but then changed their mind when my other friend, not the one I'm always talking about, was making fun of me, so yeah, one of them keeps making fun of me so I almost cry.
Anyways, went to my therapist today and recently I've been feeling very good and happy and I was seeing him every other week so today he said that I was doing so good that I didn't have to come again in another 3 months, I almost cried in happiness.
Enjoyyy <3
