The boy next door

Chapter 3

Song of Chapter: Slum Lords Anthem by K Camp

I woke up and dragged my sorry ass out of bed, plugged my phone into the speakers and pressed shuffle. I showered, dried my hair, and changed into a Mickey Mouse shirt, black shorts, black thigh high socks, white vans, and topped it all off with my black and white bandana in my hair.

I had a good hour till I had to go to Cole's house to be dropped off, so I decided to curl my hair but leave my bangs straight then my bandana would be separating my bangs and the rest of my hair.

**1 Hour later**

Cole and I got my schedule and I just found out this bitch took me to the school 2 hours early so he could go to morning basketball practice. I decided to go put my books and bag in my locker, I finally found it and I guess we can decorate them cuz Cole has a bunch of pics of Selena Gomez in his.

I put my books in my locker and, grabbed my charger and headed to the library to print off a couple of pics of me and the boys. I got one picture with Hunter, Cole, Jayce, Dylan, and Angel. But I printed a bunch with me and Matt since I barely we him cuz of his popularity on Vine.

I went back to my locker and put them up on the inside of the door. I was done within about 15 minutes and I was just wondering around the school looking for my classes when I heard a voice "hey girly." I got scared cuz when I turned around it was the boy that tried to get my number. I sped up and he sped up, I started running then he caught up to me. He turned me around and I saw his student id his name was Jacob.

"When I talk to you, you listen." He said trying to kiss me. "Leave me alone I'm dating someone already." I said getting out from between him and the wall. I started running towards the gym in hope that Cole was there and he was. Luckily he was and I ran to him with Jacob still running after me calling me foul names. I ran behind Cole and he saw why I was so scared.

"Jacob just leave my baby cuz alone." Cole said as Hunter and Jayce walked in. "Get out of here. This has nothing to do with you fags." Jacob spat at them then Hunter saw me peak my head out from behind Cole. "Now it does." Hunter said coming towards me and hugging me tightly, saying "Mine." Swinging his leg over my waist and me being that awkward friend, I held his leg up.

"No she's not. She's way too hot for you." Jacob said. "Sh-" I cut Hunter off by saying, "Really nigga? If I wasn't his why would I do this." I said hugging him, "and this," pulling at the hairs on the nape of his neck, "and this," kissing him, " and this" I said running my hands up his shirt, feeling his abs tense up under my touch.

"So therefore. Mine." I said hugging him from behind. After Jacob left, I was talking to the boys about what clubs there are and what should I join. We all decided since I was half Pacific Islander, that I join island club and go to Cheer tryouts after school today.

**Skipping to Lunch**

Finally the end of the day (they had an early release day) and I knew I had to eat light, cuz I would have to be tumbling a lot during the tryouts. I just ate the fruit salad that Matt packed for me. "Are you ready for the tryouts?" Cole asked. "Yeah but I'm scared that I won't be pretty enough." I joked but apparently Hunter took it seriously and said, "You're a grade A hottie here, I think you'll be just fine." "Alright but you guys have to go with me to tryouts." I said dragging Hunter to the outside of the girls' locker room in the gym.

I went inside and put on a pair of Nike pros, a sports bra, gymnastic shoes, and my old school's shirt in black that I cut into a cropped low cut v-neck. As I was walking out I put my hair into a messy bun.

I was finally done and I found out that the tryouts were on the football field, so I made Cole give me a piggy back ride. We got to the field and I guess that the football team was having practice out here too and Cole threw me off his back, "YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE!!" I yelled slapping him upside the head and walking away before I was grabbed by the waist and pulled back by Hunter.

"So now I don't get kisses?" He asked leaning in. I kissed him before we got interrupted by the coach of the football team yelling, "ROWLAND, LOPEZ, GO CHANGE INTO UNIFORM AND COME PRACTICE!!" "I gotta go babe." Hunter said pecking my lips once more before Jayce and a couple of other guys from the football team came up to where the cheerleaders were.

As I walked past, I heard wolf whistles and "AI MAMI!" Yelled at me. As I was waiting I decided I watch the scrimmage between guys who were wearing blue versus red. I saw the name 'Rowland' written on one and I paid attention to what color he was and it was blue. Great he's on Cole and Jayce's team, it started and Hunter kept getting tackled.

"COME ON COLE!!" I screamed as he was about to score a touchdown. When I was watching there was a voice that said, "Espinosa, Nevaeh." "Ummm.... That's me." I said walking up. "Oh okay, it says here that you were the head cheerleader and lead your squad to the champion ships." She said. "Yeah.." I said ugh I'm so awkward.

"Well since you're experienced give me 10 toe touches, 5 pikes, round off, backhand spring, double back tuck." She said looking at me as if I couldn't do that. As I was finishing tumbling set, I did a half back layout. I looked at the guys and girls who were sitting at the table and the head cheerleader stood up and said "welcome to the squad!!"

I was talking to the head and I found out her name was Heaven and she's dating Cole and apparently we look exactly alike cuz we both have long black hair, we have that "perfect" summer tan, we have brown eyes, dimples, and braces. "You should really come over to my house." I said as Cole and Hunter came up to us and kissed our cheeks, giving us their jerseys that were blue, grey, and black. "We want you two to wear our jerseys tomorrow for our first home game." They said in unison as Heaven and I nodded.

We were all hanging out in my room and Heaven was spending the night since its a Thursday and so is Hunter and Cole. "Oh my god. Yaaassss. 5sos is just so-" I was cut off by my brothers barging through the door.

"Oh yeah. Heaven did I ever mention I'm the only girl and Matthew Espinosa is my older brother?" I asked. She shook her head no and looked like she was worshipping a god. "Now the Musketeers get out!" I yelled throwing a pillow at them.

"Why the fuck didn't you tell me that Matt was your brother?" She said and hit my arm. "It never came up I guess." I replied. "Do you know how pop-" I stopped her. "I don't want my popularity to relay on my brother's fame." "Well that's understandable." She reasoned.

Hunter and Cole came running in shirtless and soaked then hugged both me and Heav. "You fucking idiots!!" We both screamed, got all of our stuff, and went to Matt's room.

"What happened?" He asked cocking an eyebrow at me. "Our boyfriends are assholes!" I screamed at him. I went back to my room to find Hunter laying down on my bed, so I went and cuddled with him until I fell asleep.

I woke up and found that me and Heav were the only ones in my bed. I got up, hopped in the shower, got out, and changed into Hunter's jersey, a white bandeau underneath, a pair of black denim booty shorts, black low top converse, then had to tie the back of the jersey up so it was like a crop top cuz it was too long (THATS WHAT SHE SAID.!! 😂😂😂).

I just put on like 4 coats of mascara, tied a blue bandana around my wrist and headed downstairs, to find the boys cooking breakfast. I went up behind Hunter and wrapped my arms around his waist, peppering little kisses on his neck. He turned around and kissed me, until Cole said something. "Alright love birds break it up."

"Morning handsome." I said still looking at him and holding his hands by his sides. "Morning Beautiful." He said in a sort of raspy voice. I grabbed the back of his neck, taking him by surprise and pressed a little kiss against his lips.

"Come on let's go find you something to wear." I said taking his hand and dragging him up to the youngest of my older brothers, Dylan's, room. Turns out they are the same exact size so Hunter ended up wearing black jeans, his black vans, a duplicate jersey to the one I'm wearing, and a white tank top under.

When we got back downstairs, everyone was wearing our school colors, and eyeblack. Since its a Friday and a game day Hunter and I decided to wear it too. "Alright. Get your stuff and come on if you want a ride." Matt said as we all scrambled into his Range Rover and Angel drove Heaven, Cole, and Dylan.

"Oh god no." I sighed as girls started to run up to Matt's car, shaking it and chanting "Matth-ew."
