The Way We Lie

Chapter Four: Change of Plans

It was three am, and there was a mass tweet.

Junior skip day cancelled- someone snitched. Next Friday guys!

I assume the teachers can't really do anything about skip day, so someone had to tell a few parents. I went through the comments, a lot of people are pissed, but it works out for most of them since Monday we don't have school due to staff meetings.

Scrolling past, I saw a post by Davina.

I often wonder if people understand that words have meaning, punches can kill, and we are all guilty for our own wrongdoings.

Posted thirty minutes ago.

Why was she up at two in the morning? I clicked the follow button, and got an immediate follow back. She's still up. I threw my phone onto my bed, and put out my joint. I crawled from the rooftop, closing the window behind me.

I decided to look at some other social media she was tagged in, and I saw a post from Corbin's birthday. She was singing to him, but she mustn't have known there was a camera until the end because she turned pasty white. Her voice is amazing.

I lay my head down on my pillow, and everything went dark in a matter of seconds.

My alarm went off, and I groaned out of frustration. I imagine most kids aren't going to school today anyways, even with the party being canceled. Shit. We have a quiz today in first period.

I forced myself to get up, and I went to knock on Corbin's door. Rubbing my eyes, I walk into his room.

"WHAT THE FUCK DUDE GET OUT!" Corbin's pants were down, and his hand was covering his dick.

"Bro were you just-" He scrambled for his phone and mumbles about calling someone back before pulling up his boxers. "Ahhh, you were on the phone with your girlfriend, huh?"

"Dude it's none of your business! Learn to knock!" I laugh at him and shake my head.

"Learn to not be so horny at seven in the morning." Something soft hit my face. It was a pillow. Oh, it's on. I take the pillow, and hit him in the head with it. "You mother fucker. We both know I can beat the shit outta you."

"Ha! You wish, Ashston!" He got up and began getting dressed. "Bro, get out."

I left his room, and went to get ready for school. I wanted to text Davina, but she was just on the phone with Ash. I never thought she would be that type of girl. What the fuck do I say? 'Good job on making my brother moan via phone?' That's so fucking weird.

There was a knock on the front door. It's probably Davina. I opened the door, and it was Jess. She seemed surprised to see me.

"Hey Ashton," She smiled and licked her lips. "My car broke down so Corbin is giving me a ride to school. You coming with?" I raised my eyebrows at her. She was a hookup, not a friend.

"No thanks, I'll ride my bike." Jess laughed and played with her hair.

"You ride a bike to school?" I nodded and kept my facial expression grim. "You are so lame. A good kisser, but lame nonetheless." I pushed past her with my helmet in my hand.

"See ya, Jess." I smirked and went over to my bike. I turned on the engine, and kicked off. I would've turned around to see her face, but that would've been lame.

When I got to school, I didn't see anyone I knew. The bell rang for first period, there were only eight of us there. I guess most people decided to skip anyways. I was looking for Davina, but I didn't see her. She's probably out with Corbin and Jess.
