The Story Beneath The Shirt

Sidekick 1 and baby momma drama

I wake up noticing the light pouring in through my window, i look at my phone, 8:45, wednesday, september 23. I shoot up. I run to nathans room where he is sleeping.

"Nathan wake up we are late!" I yell at him.

He sits up rubbing his eyes, "What are you talking about?" he looked at his phone, "they had a delayed start you dont wake up till 9, go back to bed". He said plopping backwards.

I went back to my room and decided to get ready early. I wanted to look nice for today. I had my hair in twists today so that it looked wavy. I still had it in my face but it looked different that the normal straight hair.

Nathan came into my room at 9 while i was finishing putting on my shoes, he looked at me, mumbled a good morning and then went down stairs. I wonder what was wrong with him, he normally is always happy in the mornings, a little tired but never like this.

I finished what i was doing, grabbed my stuff, and headed to the kitchen. I asked the chef for some fruity pebbles. I walked to the fridge grabbing both my monsters, my cod sandwich and some chips throwing it in my lunch sack. I sat back down and ate my breakfast. When nathan finally came from the bathroom he was in sweatpants and a baggy t-shirt, his hair all over the place.

"Good morning sunshine how are you this wonderful morning." I joked with him. He pulled a thermometer from his armpit looking at the number.

"I'm sick and running a fever, after i drop you off i'm heading to the adult walk-in clinic to see what i have, unless you just want to drive yourself, you can still grab your CD I won't be leaving till 10." He said with a big sneeze after. I figured i would drive my car to school and let nathan rest till he had to leave, i also wonder what has him so sick, im fine, and so is everyone else i've seen today. Maybe its a bug he caught. Before he left he asked the chef if he could make some soup and have either a butler or maid bring it up.

I looked at the time 9:35. I figured i might as well leave now so i can get a good parking spot at school. I thanked the chef for breakfast and walked out grabbing my CD from nathan's car and then sliding into my little car. I put my CD in and hooked a phone holder to my dash, putting in the schools address on google maps i followed where it told me to go.

Finally lunch time. I grabbed a clean empty tray, asked for a cup of tartar sauce and walked into the halls. I went to my usual stairs and climbed up the first flight to the middle landing. As i was about to sit down i heard someone complaining.

"Listen i don't know anymore okay?! I cant keep doing this constant shit. You keep pulling the fake pregnancies on me and this time i'm done." there was a pause. "Look Teressa im done! Goodbye!" i heard a large slam. I set my tray down quietly by my stuff and walked up, is that someone crying? I peeked around the corner to see one of axels friends crying.

I walked over and softly tapped his shoulder stepping back incase they had a fight instinct when getting scared. He jumped looking at me and quickly wiping away his tears like he wasn't crying.

"Its okay your crying secret is safe with me but i kind of heard everything from down stairs; but don't worry, no one else was around. Everyone else is eating in other areas i just come here for the quietness." i said picking his phone up. It was cracked to all hell there was noway this thing was turning back on. "You wanna talk about it." i placed his phone down and slid down sitting beside him; since i could tell he was in distress.

"No, i'm just tired of her bullshit, you know. It's like she keeps telling me that i'm going to be a dad; and that's a big deal for me. I really want to be a daddy and not just in the bed if you know what i mean," He says lightly elbowing my side. I softly wince as i still had a couple bruises from the beating. "Oh, crap sorry, ummm im sorry for axel's actions. He's got a bad reputation here with fighting and being the big dog." he rubbed his elbows.

"Its fine, i mean i haven't had my daily stair rolls lately so i needed that." i joked with him as he chuckled.

"You know, your really aint that bad of a person, even if you did insult us all that day. I smiled.

" Yea its a habit i picked up from birth, i came out and the doctors where like ' congratualations you got a sarcastic ass hole.' My parents where thrilled." we both laughed for a good minute. Before i finally asked "So whats yalls names, like i know axles but i heard the principal say 2 other names i didn't catch that day. I've been calling you guys sidekick 1 and 2."

He laughed, "im Oliver and the other one is Shawn." i nodded processing that information. We sat there for another 2 minutes before the bell rang out.

"Oh shit, i never got to eat my food, i said looking down the bag to my food.

"Grab your food and then go to the student parking lot ill meet you out there, Just look for a green car, i'm the only bright green car in the lot.

"Isn't this gonna get me in trouble?"

"Dude its wednesday meaning we have 1 hour of sitting in a classroom working on any homework we're late on listening to the old teacher tell dumb stories of the 40's. It's literally a guy, sitting there, complaining about how he use to have to walk over mountains and rivers to get to school, that we are so privileged to have phones and buses and cars. TRUST ME, you do not want to sit through that. He said taking off down the hall as the classrooms started pouring out. I grabbed my tray and put the tarter sauce in my lunch bag. I grabbed my stuff and dropped my tray off in the lunchroom. I walked out the doors and found his car. I went to his car to see him already in it warming up the car. I set my stuff in the back and sat down in the passenger seat.
