"Try like 6 hours."
"No way!" I say.
"Uhh yeah. We were looking everywhere for you. Then Vic said you might be here."
"I was just reading."
"The book?" Adam asks.
"Yeah. But i don't get the big fuss."
"All we can say is. Its all facts. But we haven't actually read it. We just. Well know." Adam adds.
"Anyway on a lighter note Whose up for some Mario cart?" Will asks.
"Sure." Adam and i say in sync.
We spend the next few hours playing Mario cart me obviously winning most races. Adam came second most of the time.
But Will. He always seemed to come last. Even after the bots were set on the easy mode. He wouldn't like to admit it but. He was shit.
...
I cant remember going to sleep last night. I cant even fucking remember how i got to bed. Last thing i recall was beating the shit outta everyone at Mario cart. Aubrey mighta came over?"Morning." Someone said. Whilst My eyes are still adjusting to the light.
"What time is it?" I yawn back.
"Thats rude. But its uhhh. 6am"
"Thanks. I guess. Wait its Saturday right?"
"Yeah. How long have you been sleepin hun?" I recognised the voice now. And im in trouble.
"Not long i uhhh. Ima get dressed. And take a shower."
"K but i wouldn't go to my dorm."
"Why?"
"Ok. I get a haircut and now you don't even recognise me. Is that book messing with your head that much?"
"Vic?" I respond still half asleep.
"Yeah. I stayed here because Will and Lola."
"Ok. Ima still get a shower."
"Cya at breakfast:"
"But ya never sit.."
"People change."
My eyes had finally adjusted to the light to catch a glimpse of the angel sat on wills bed. Being herself; a nose in a book but yet gorgeous. Her hair was cut shoulder length but the red just made her stand out.
"Hey moron!" She whisper yelled at me.
I turned around to look at her fully. "A photo lasts longer. So you don't have to stare."She saw me. Shit.
I made my way to the male showers as quickly as possible. I know the school didn't have many people but i didn't like showering with the chance of pervs. I was almost done showering when i heard the shower room door open. A group of guys came in laughing. Mocking someone. I dried myself as quick as possible. Putting on some boxers and bottoms.
I didn't care to put on a top i wasn't gonna rob people of that.
I put my shower shit in my small shower-bag. And open the stall door.
I recognise a few of the guys from gym. And one from music."Look. Its the principals boy." One shouts.
"Hows the girls going? How'd you force em into bed with something like you?" Another laughed.
"Wait i got one. Did daddy send you here cause momma didn't want a player?" They all started laughing. I clenched my fists tightly together my knuckles started going white.
"I got another.."
i cut him off, i turned around dropping my crap on the floor so my abs were in full view along with my pissed face. I grabbed the one who started it by the collar of their shirt. I had about an inch on them.I lifted them so they were eye level with me. "You wanna have a go at me? Huh?" They didn't reply only shake in fear. "Thought not."
I let go. As soon as i turn my back they start laughing about how I'm soft. So i think of the only sensible things to do.
I turn around and punch em.
Next thing i know one of them is on the floor on the verge of crying, blood dripping from his face. His friends gather around him. Looking worried.I turn around and pick up my crap and leave as quick as i can. I know it was the right thing to do but. I still feel guilty.
...
"You what?" Adam almost yelled at breakfast. Its like 8. And the whole group is here except Vic. I mean what was I expecting."Yeah he was on the floor when i left him."
"So cool." Ash said. "I need a man who can protect me. What'd you say."
"Im ok." I reply laughing.
Amelia comes back from wherever she went. With a poster in her hand.
"Guys, guys, guys!! Guess what?" She squeals. No one replies. We just look at her. "Ok ill tell you. First of all. Parade day!! Tomorrow." She practically sings 'parade day'"Ok. And..." Aubrey says taking her face away from Adams long enough to breathe.
"And. I overheard Vic talking to herself earlier and.." she squeals again. I swear my eardrums are about to burst.
Note to self- this is what Amelia is like with her morning coffee. Apparently she was trying to cut down. After 93 days. She gave in. And so coffee today.-
Theres silence for a moment before will breaks it "Get the the goddamn point."
"She was going on about how she wanted to look nice for guess who. This guy right here!!!" Amelia said pointing to me and jumping up and down. I must've started blushing because i felt my cheeks heat up and everyone started laughing.
"So tomorrow you have to..." max started before Vic came over and everyone. I mean everyone went quiet.
"Hi" i say.
