It all went downhill (boyxboy)

Part 4- Party

Zero's POV

It's been about two months now and this has been the hardest months of my life.

I've been hanging with Benji a lot which is honestly the only thing that has stayed the same. My grades aren't doing too well because I've honestly just stopped giving a fuck, but my teachers have been real lenient because of my situation.

I've still been playing basketball and going to the skate park with friends cause I honestly still have a craving for distractions. I've also been getting more distant with my stepdad. He's been drinking a lot lately and avoiding me.

"Yoo Zero you wanna come to my party tonight. They're gonna be hella bitches there." One of my teammates from basketball asked obnoxiously loud.

"Uhh...yeah sure, what time?"

"Whenever you wanna come, that party finna be cracking all night!" His voice was gassed up with energy.

"Ight bro text me your address." I said to him before I headed to the lunchroom to sit with Benji.

"You going to Rico's party." I asked.

"Uhh I don't know, are you?"

"Yea."

"Well, then yea" he said as he placed his arms around my shoulders.

"Ight then imma pick you up at like 9:30."

"Say less" he said just like the little boy in that meme.

I woke up from my after-school nap and saw that it was already 8:45 and I figured that I should start getting ready for the party.

Ever since the accident, if I'm not hanging with Benji or distracting myself with random things then I'll be sleeping. I don't like being alone with my thoughts, so I do anything to prevent it. Usually, I'll take night quail to help me sleep, because when I'm sleeping I'm at peace, no worries, and most of the time I don't even remember my dreams.

I decided that I wanted to take a shower so I grabbed my towel headed to my bathroom and turned it on. I took off my clothes and stepped in.

I love the feeling of the warm water on my skin, but then I realized that I forgot to bring my phone to play music which helps me not only take quicker showers but also, of course, distract myself.

I quickly took my shower trying to distract myself by singing as a way to prevent my brain from analyzing everything that's going on in my life at the moment.

Once I was done I got out of the shower, moisturize my body, and put on a decent outfit. I wore one of my beige skater pants, with a black graphic tee and my Red, white, and black Nike Air Jordan ones.

I have a lot of Nike Air jordans, I have a problem. I even brushed my teeth again cause why not. Lastly, I put on some cool rings cause honestly I haven't dressed up in decent clothes in a hot minute so I wanted to at least try today.

I grabbed my phone to see what the time was and saw 9:08 plastered on my lock screen, so I texted Benji to tell him that I was on my way.

I got in my car and drove to Benji's house. When I arrived I texted him that I was here and as soon as he came out of his house I saw how good he looked.

We have similar styles but he makes it look better. He had on black skater jeans and a black crew neck sweater with a white collared shirt underneath. Black and white Nike Air Jordans, that we both have cause we bought them together, was his choice of footwear, and of course he didn't forget about jewelry, his necklaces and rings tie his outfit all together.
