"Bronx you have to go to school." "I don't want to!" I yell back at her from upstairs. "Is it Nora?" I pause and hear her coming up the stairs. "Mom," "It'll fizzle out just please go and it's Friday." I groan and throw my hair up and grab my bag heading downstairs.
4th Hour
I walk into the large bathroom stall and sit against the wall. I lean my head back feeling the cold tile burn my scalp.
Sam- you good?
I ignore the text and turn my music up taking a few rips off my pen before just closing my eyes and praying the hour goes by faster.
The bell finally rings and I wait a few more minutes before heading to lunch. I run into somebody as I'm walking out, "Shit, my bad." I look up and it's Colly. I brush past him quickly and head to the lunch room.
I eat in the art room and Mr.Bar explains our new project. It's sculpting which is low on my liking scale but it should be fine. The bell rings and I pack my shit up and wait for the class to pile in.
We're all planning our sculptures when the phone rings. Mr.Bar talks for a second and then calls my name. "Mr. Colly wants to see you." I pack my bag up and head out of the classroom.
The halls are empty and as I reach his door it's closed. I knock softly and he yells come in. I open the door and he looks at me shocked.
"Shut the door please." I do leaning back against it. "How's your hand?" "Okay," "Bronx..." "I liked it, I wanted it and want more." I blurt and his cheeks blush. "I don't want special treatment because of any of it. I simply want you. I mean if we are being honest I have thought about things since the first training we did."
"Sit." I sit in front of his desk and he looks at me. "It is not appropriate. Im your teacher and coach. Bronx we both know it's wrong." "Which makes it more fun." I say and he chuckles. "One and only time. Nothing can happen again." I nod and stand up, "Is that why you called me down here?" "I wanted to check on you, make sure you were okay." "Oh trust me, I'm great." I say bitchy.
I head for the door and just leave the building because class is over in five minutes. I head out of the parking lot and back towards my house. My dads home today and the last thing I want to do is face my dad after consulting with my teacher about the sexual interaction we had. I turn past the coffee shop and head to Cam's. I unlock the back door and head up to his room texting him and his family letting them know I'm there.
I wake up and see Cam in his closet, "Hey," I groan and he turns around. "Hey! You're up! Wanna go grab food?" I nod slowly and sit up rubbing my eyes. "You okay?" He ask and I nod slowly, "Weird ass dreams."
He throws me over his shoulder and takes me downstairs. His mom smiles at me as I slip my shoes on. "Honestly it makes me happy that you just come over." "I appreciate you all having me." "Of course!"
that night
I'm laying in Cam's arm when my dad calls me. I roll my eyes picking up.
dad-where are you?
me-cams
dad-you never let me know
me-and?
dad-i've been worried about you
me-you literally just called me at 7:15 did you forget i existed from 1 to now?

dad-i want you home tonight
me-that's not happening
dad-bronx!
me- goodbye dadI hang up and chuck my phone at the floor. "Aye," I look at Cam and he seems worried. "I'm so fucking tired of them. Never gave two fucks about what Scott did. Could be anywhere they didn't care. All the sudden after not being home at 7:15 and no fucking text asking where i'm at he's up my fucking ass!" "Hey,"
Cam takes my face and looks deep into my eyes. "What's fucking you up, cause I know Bruce is not the source of this." I look at him and shake my head, "I'm sober as fuck." "B," "Can I see your cart?" "I'll roll if you tell me what's going on in that head."
I sigh, "Nothing Cam, I'm just pissy and tired of their shit." "Tabs or bud?" "Fucking tabs oh my god! You have tabs?!" "Keep your voice down, but yes." "Cameron!!!!" I say shaking him. "Less pissy?"
I nod and he pulls me back into his arms, "What's we doin till then?" I ask quietly and he chuckles, "What do you wanna do?" "I don't fucking know." He rolls his eyes. "You got someone you need to see?" "Huh?" "You mentioned something about ending up at someone else's house." "Oh, yeah, fuck. I'll be back in a little okay." "Are you okay?" "Yeah, don't miss me too much okay?" "I'll try."
earlier after school at cams place
My phone plays soft music as I stare at the ceiling almost upset about Colly and I talk. The fuck am I thinking, he's my teacher. I sit up and grab my phone going to text Chanel.

I unlock my phone and hesitantly open his message.
