Through his eyes

"Weren't they like best friends or something?"Ashley asked

The girls and were having a sleep over at mine. Right now we were just chilling and gossiping about our school hottest tea.

"Yes. They were like brothers" Brianna responded
"Apparently they were fighting because of Selena" Mei said, Mei is the mom of the group always makes sure we don't end up doing stupid stuff - so if she warns you about something you better listen to her. And she makes the best ramen on the whole wide world.

"Why?" I asked,
Why should Theo and Peter fight over that stupid girl.
"Haven't you seen it?" Mei asked
"Seen what?"
"This" Brianna showed her phone with a picture of Selena and Theo?

"Yep. They slept together" Brianna said, she's black but I consider her a lightskin, she's the one who knows everything about boys - she also had a pretty wild past but settled down as soon she got a boyfriend.

Oh wow.

"Yea, that's why they were fighting. But I still believe Peter wants something from you" Ashley said munching on some hot Cheetos, she's always eating but never gains any weight.

"You have been crushing on him for so long, it's about time he notices you" Mei said chuckling,
I scoffed
"shut up" I said throwing a pillow at her
"I bet he's going to ask you out on a date, when he will be back at school" Ashley said laughing
"Right the two weeks are over" I said chuckling
"But I don't think so. I think he still has some feelings towards Selena" I said getting a little insecure
"Pfff nooo." Briana said chuckling
"What about Theo? Weren't you two kind of close back then?" Mei asked
"Yes we were, sometimes we talk at school but that's it" I said and noticed how the girls kept quiet
"What?" I asked them
"Girl we know you lying" Brianna said pointing a finger towards me
"No I'm not!" I gasped
"So you have no Problem with me making a move on him?" Ashley asked
"No? Why should I" I asked her
"Because if you wouldn't have told us you're crushing on Peter I would've thought you're crushing on Theo" she admitted
Hmm.

"But you can't deny the fact that he's so hot" Ashley said looking at the picture of him and Selena on her phone
"I mean look at that body!" She squealed excited
"Gosh and these scars are making him much more attractive" Ashley went on,
"He's literally perfect boyfriend material"
"What makes you believe that?" Brianna asked and I also would like to know - out of curiosity of course.

"Well he's smart- really smart, and he looks fine as fuck, he has no social media - I believe, and he may look like a though guy but he's such a teddy bear" Ashley rambled
"Ash? Have been stalking him or something?" Mei asked causing us to crackle up

"Noooo" she dragged out
"That Are Just things I noticed about him" Ashley said
"Whatever you say love" I said snickering

I applied some lipgloss on my lips and examined my fit for today. Natural looking make up and instead of box braids I've decided to wear a straight black lace wig. I felt like wearing a lot of purple today so I did.
"Bye mom, bye dad!" I rushed towards them and walked towards my car they gifted me on my 16th birthday.

I only have an older brother but he moved out a long time ago - I think he's in his last year in college? Whatever.
My parents are both neurosurgeons and almost never at home - that's why I was quite surprised when I saw them having breakfast together, it made me happy - I'm not one of those children who get upset with their parents trying to give them a better living than they had, that's why I think it's okay That they Are rarely at Home.

I hated PE, especially when our coach made us run 5 laps around the field.
Nope not today.
I sneaked into a closed of area and made sure that no one followed or saw me.

I only saw a pair of worn out vans,
Who has the audacity to steal my hiding spot?!

I walked further into the corner and saw Theo? sitting on the floor leaning on the wall, his eyes closed and earpods in his ears.
Awww he's sleeping, I slowly went to sit next to him - making sure not to get to close. He was holding his iPhone 8 in his hand almost falling out of his grip.

I studied his face, his jet black tousled hair, a small cut above his left eyebrow, his long black lashes, a few freckles on his nose, his right cheek looked a little yellow-ish probably from the fight with Peter.
I was still checking him out that I didn't noticed he had woken up by now. I looked back to his greenish brownish eyes who were staring at me wide eyed.
I also noticed how close I had gotten
"Sorry" I said chuckling leaning back on the wall.

I've always found it cute when Theo would start blushing- like right now.
"What are you hiding from?" I asked him
"I uhh" he cleared his throat "swimming" he said in his deep and raspy voice
"Why? You don't like it?" I asked trying not to sound to affected by his voice,
"I-I do actually... but not at school" he said looking down
"And you?" He asked
"PE, I hate running. That's why I came here" I said amused
"H-how long have you been here?" He asked me with a raised brow
"For a while" I said
"What are you listening to?" I asked as I took one of his buds and put them in my ear - I had to scoot closer to him so they wouldn't fall out.
I noticed as he jumped lightly when your thighs and shoulders were touching,
"You aren't even listening to something" I stated laughing
"Yes because I'm talking to you" he said chuckling, that was literally the first time in a while I heard him chuckle.

"Okay then play something now" I said and saw how he unlocked the phone with his thumb and tipped on play.
He was listening to 'Stan by Eminem'
"You listen to a lot of Eminem?" I asked after a while
"Yeah, most of the time" he said,
I placed my head on his shoulders and saw him gulp making his Adam's apple bop.

"Oh shit" I cussed as I looked at the time on Theo's phone,
"I have to go now" I said getting up and dusting myself off
"Okay" Theo said said getting up as well
"See you around" I said before sprinting towards the girls changing room.

Before I went to class I had to stop at the bathroom. I went into stall and did my business.

"We didn't actually have sex" I heard a female voice say that sounded like Selena
"Why?" Another girl I think Kayla asked
"He didn't even get hard"
"What?!"
" I know! And the pills you got me were to strong. He was crying and fell asleep before we could start anything. And he said he didn't remember anything"
"What are you going to do now?"
"I don't know Kayla! He doesn't want me near him"
"Just leave him, he doesn't deserve you then" I heard Kayla say before they left.
I was shook at the new information I just got.
