3-Minute Passion (BoyxBoy)

Chapter 8

Don't forget to share your thoughts. xx

The familiar sound of siren from my alarm woke me up. My heart sank when I realized that this is the first day of being the laughing stock of the school.

I am not in the mood at all. I lay on the bed for another 5 minutes.

Knock knock

"James, dear, wake up. You have school today.." my grandmother said gently.

I sighed. I can't think of an excuse. I wonder what Red is feeling right now. I got off the bed brushing my hair up. It's starting to get longer. There is a light knock again on the door and I went towards it. I opened it and smiled at my grandmother.

"Are you feeling okay, dear?"

"Yeah, I was just thinking..." I said then hugged her.

"Tea is ready and I made some brownies. I'll be out with Rey, he will pick me up later. I think he wants me to stay at his house for a day. He said he bought a new jacuzzi." she said wiping something from her hands.

I squeezed her arms.

"It's okay, Ma. It's nice that you get out of this house every now and then."

"I was hoping you'll come..."

"I don't think that that's a good idea. I have school to worry, I don't want to have an argument with my father while you are there." i cut her off. Rey, my father, left me when I was 6 years old to my grandmother. And when I turned 15, he decided to show up asking for me to live with him. The result is not good.

"Okay, there are food in the fridge if ever you get hungry... I'll just fix my things in my room." she said. She looked at me with a fake smile.

I hurried to the bathroom hoping I won't be late for school. I got off the shower and went to my closet to get a black beenie, black slim jeans and a white crew neck jumper. I head down the stairs to grab some brownies my grandmother always make every Tuesday. It's an original family recipe that I love so much.

I decided to use my mini van which my grandmother bought me when she needs a lift to do the grocery. She couldn't stand the smell of my Mustang. She is the only living person who doesn't like the smell of pizza, weird.

I parked my car to my usual spot. It's almost 7 and I not used to coming to school this late. I took my seat on the front row near the teacher. I felt a buzz in my pocket. I checked it and I have a text from Red.

Love,

How's your day so far? See you later. xx

I felt myself blushing. It feels like an ordinary day. I didn't get any stares and whispers like what happened yesterday. Maybe people don't give a shit about what happened. Rumours seem to die down fast, thank goodness.

Everything seems normal. :) xx

I texted him. I can't take the smile off my face. He really called me love. My Physics teacher came in a few seconds later. It was a very unproductive morning. I learned something about gravity and some shit in History class.

The bell rang signalling that it's lunch time. I walked to the cafeteria. I can smell the most perfect smell in the world, pizza. I closed my eyes to take in everything. I hurriedly grabbed a tray and paid for my lovely meal. I looked over the table I last saw Red. I saw him wearing a blue Superman shirt and a blue skinny jeans. The shirt is a little tight and I can see his muscle flex when he put his elbows on the table laughing at something Link, his best friend said. Link is a skinny, freckled boy wearing round eye glasses. His hair is ginger and quiffed.
