"You know what Hailey?"
"What?"
"Your god doesn't exist!"
We say those things almost simultaneously, me glaring and Mackenzil as chill looking as ever. Unless you know her as well as i do.
"Why would he give us ailments?" I ask Hailey as every single debater filed out of Awkwood highs schhool hall.
"Oh you human beings are so greedy!" She tells me with an eyeroll and a tick to her bottom eyelid.
"The mere fact that adults are capable of contracting Sexually transmitted infections after commiting adultry shows that God is still in power. The ten commandments clearly state that~"
"Oh please" I cut her off with an ounce of frustration to my tone. We have been through is. Need i always state all knowing facts again and again and again? "Everyone knows that those things would never have come to existence if it wasn't for those same free willed and skilled lab technitions who by the way are still ruining the planet. Where is God" i tell her with a cocky smile." Feeling myself to have raised a massive point. But even i know better, my rival from Awkood high is a massive Jehovah's witness and An interdistrict debate major.
Hailey Jodanna Makenzie is not a force to be reckoned with. Especially with issues concerning jehovah and debate. Combine those two things together and we have this little figher cracker right here.
She puffs her cheeks a little, i notice her nose looks pink and frosted from to the cold. She then begins to spew an endless array of valid points until i pat her small back and thank her for a great debate. Also that i would see her again soon at finals. She swats my hands away from her head since i was ruffling her hair.
I walk away from the door, to join my own group boarding our school bus.
My boys Jhamim, ìlax and freddy are already occupying the last row and so i make my way towards them and as expected they have been keeping me an unocupied seat at the with them.
"Why don't you just ask her out again?" Ìlax whose sitting on my right hand side asks. I'm in the middle, i dread the seat itself but punishment for being late i guess.
"Jhamim whats the term used for when you just like somebody for what they and not wanna date them?" I looked at jhamim after asking this and notuce that he's toying with Freddies long fingers.
"Something like Aromarantic i think." The brown haired boy gazes upwards before answering.
"Yea, im that right now." My friend doesn't look convinced besides so i say "we are from different schools and districts. It would never work out."
"Whatever you say boss." With his Arms up in surrender says this to me.
"But you are going to Haileys concert right?" Still can't believe that little nerd is called 'Tinashe' on stage.
"Yea whatevs" He i say with a tick of my toungue.
Then walks in the group of everybodies favourite sluts. Because in all honesty thats what Arkay and her group is. Skirts hitched. Pink lips a shade too light to be considered natural. I know that wearing makeup doesn't make one a hoe but its against the school rules. Also, why the skirt hitching?
Arkay and i lock eye contact for only a moment but to me it feeks to be an accidental infernal. Quickly i look away. She finds a seat amoungst her friends four rows infront of our own. The room now smells sickly sweet and i can get a whiff hers amoungs the many smells, peach and guava. I remember how that scent once drove me crazy. Now i just think I'm gonna be sick as a flash of us pressed against each other runs through my mind. A disgusted shiver rolls off of me. It was so forced. Come to think of it everything about was forced.
The sun is soon going to set by the time we all settle and the driver walks in. The engine finally roars to life after an eternity of waiting. The whiff of weed tells me exactly where he has been and why he had kept us waiting.
I look at my friends who are now fast asleep with a smile. Before laying back to relax as well.
I get off the bus once it gets me to a stop near my home.
The bedroom lights and living room lights are still on. Guess they decided to wait on me to arrive. Isn't it late?
"Welcome home sweety". Because the living room door is adjacent to the main door they see me. I walk right in and close the door behind me.
"Hey mama" i smile and open my arms out for a hug. My new mom is trans. Dad and the other one aka my biological mother divorved. She cheated on him with some huge company owner. They're happily married now and honestly dad is too.
"We left you some food on the table." She says as she lets me go.
"Okay mom, hey dad"
"Future Mr Mp. How was it." He shakes my hand firmly. As though it is one of business.
