Mr. Bad Boy

Part 7

It was pretty loud in class, except the back. It was where Peter and I were sitting. There was no talking, what so ever. Until he broke the silence. "So," he started off "should I just pour you with information?" I simply nodded.

"Okay, um..." he thought "My favourite colour is green, people say I love to argue, I was born April 20th, my father's not around anymore, oh and I swear I will never fall in love. Your turn." He said after giving me a list, which I had to scribble down.

"I don't know what to say." I told him.

"What? Come on, say something."

"Okay," I said and got thinking "I am your neighbor, I moved here like four months ago, I'm not sure what to say, and stop staring at me." He had an eyebrow raised.

His face was telling me "Are you serious?" "Everyone already knows that about you!" He basically shouted.

"They don't have too." I told him back.

"Yes, they do."

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"Yes!"

"Wow," I said deciding to end the argument "you are right, you do love to argue."

He glared at me. "No I don't."

And that's how English went. It wasn't bad at all. Not how I expected it to be. We laughed, a lot. It was like the old days. Now I sound like a sixty year old. When the bell rang to dismiss so we could go home, I got out of my seat and rushed to the door, when there was a tap on my shoulder. I turned around to see Peter standing there.

"Going to Sea Pines?" he asked me. I nodded. "Want to go together?" I nodded once again.

At Sea Pines, we were having class together. They haven't found classrooms for us yet. We were doing trust exercises. The last thing I need, is to expect me to fall into someone's arm, but them just let me drop o the floor. I was so scared of who I was getting. If I got a girl, she may not catch me. If a got a boy, I might not catch him.

I was paired up with a boy. Kill me. I just stood there in front of him, not ready to fall. "Come on, I'll catch you." Derek said to me.

"I'm scared." I whispered. When I looked around, everyone was doing trust exercises. Everyone was able to catch their partner.

"Just give it a shot." Derek said. Maybe I should show him some trust, saying he did defend women (me in particular) last class.

I let myself drop, preparing to fall on the ground, but instead I was caught. I had a huge smile on my face. "See," Derek said, looking over me while I was still in his arms "nothing to be scared of."  

Derek got me to fall into his arms like a million times.

"Join us for a snack?" Derek asked me after class.

"Us? Who's Us?" I asked him.

"Me." Peter said, coming up behind Derek.

"So, how'd you two meet?" I asked when we got to the restaurant.

"He was in an alley getting his ass kicked," Peter quickly said.

"That's not true." Derek said right after.

"And I had to save his butt." Peter said, finishing off his sentence.

"He's lying." Derek said right after.

"So what is truth?" I asked.

"Soon to be step-brother." The both said, Peter pointing to the right of him, where Derek was sitting, and Derek pointing to his left, where Peter was sitting.
