I threw on my last pair of clothes and headed out the door. I didn't tell Anthony where I was going. He's probably sleeping or something anyway. I walked over to Chris' apartment.
My mind filled with all the different outcomes this could take. Majority of them were not positive. When I got to the apartment's front door I paced in front of the door anxiously , as I took a long breath before I paused. then pressing the buzzer. I pressed it quickly and then released it. The front door opened and I walked to his suite.
I took another pause but was shorter and knocked on the door. Within a few moments later the door finally opened. "Hey." He says.
"Hey." I reply walking in.
"You want anything?" He asked.
"I'm good right now." I say "What was it you wanted to talk about?"
"About the other night...." He begins.
"What about it?" I asked hostilely.
"It was a mistake... It wasn't my intention to hurt you at all. " He explains.
"But I did get hurt Chris. And you expect me to believe you just 'accidentally' got with a girl. I'm not dumb Chris. " I say. "So why am I here?"
"You are here because I'm asking you for forgiveness, I love you too much to loose you again. I couldn't live with myself." He says.
"Don't tell me that you love me, show me you do. Don't tell me to trust you, prove to me that you can be trusted Chris." I say.
"That's why I'm apologizing I'm trying to prove to you how much I love and care for you. I want us back, I want to be able to stand by your side like when we were little. I want you to be the one I want to grow old with. " He says.
"Chris..." I start as I looked down at my feet fiddling my fingers. I want to believe him but I know that'll end up with me getting hurt in the end. I looked at Chris' worried face. I walked towards the door beginning to leave.
"Trey please don't go." Chris begged. "
"I can't be with you." I say.
"Why not?" He asks.
"All you ever do is apologize and say the things I want to hear. " I say.
"Alright. If that's how you going to be about it." He says.
At that I left his apartment. When I got back to Anthony's house I just got something to eat and got comfortable on my inflatable mattress. I pulled out my phone then my headphones and listened to music until I fell asleeep.
You said you thought you was ready and I said let’s see
But I ain’t mean that, I need some fucking proof
'Cause what happens if I fall in love then you cut me loose? You just a heart breaker won’t let you break mine
'Cause I’ll be smashing windows and cutting them break lines.

I woke up for school to see and took a quick shower. I took a pair of Anthony's clothes while he was still sleeping. After I was dressed and had my stuff ready I woke Anthony up at 7:00. I want downstairs to see Mrs. Williams preparing breakfast. " Good morning Mrs. Williams. " I say politely.
"Good morning Trey. Why are you up so early? You looking forward to school." She says.
"Not really." I say laughing.
"Well breakfast is almost done. I hope you like Waffles, Bacon, Eggs, and toast." She says.
"I do." I say.
Im so hungry I didn't even eat dinner last night or lunch. How did I let myself sleep that long? I continued to think as the rest of the family made their way down to breakfast. I wish my family was always happy. Mrs. Williams gave us our food and syrup as Anthony's dad said grace. We finished eating at 7:35 meaning that the me and Anthony were right on time for the bus. As soon as we got to the bus stop Anthony began lecturing me about wearing his clothes. I laugh at him as we got in the bus and took our seats.
When we got to the school we departed ways to go to homeroom. When homeroom was dismissed I was nervous as hell about 1st period. I hope we have any partner work this week. I took a seat in my assigned seat Chris looked bad his eyes were red and puffy. I pretended to not acknowledge his presence. I stayed in my thoughts until I noticed that I saw the teacher handing out quizzes. My hand shot up for the teachers attention. "Yes Trey." He sighed irritatedly.
"You didn't tell us we had a test today." I say.
The classes giggled like it was funny. It's not gone be any smiles or laughter when them scores come back.
"Can someone please answer Trey's question?" He says.
I hate when teachers do that. I asked you not them. If I would have asked them then I would have gotten in trouble for talking.
"This is a pretest or pop quiz to test our knowledge on the material being taught." Chris said in a nonchalant voice.
"Thanks." I whisper.
I grab my pencil and took the quiz with ease. This unit was easy. The classroom sat quietly for the last 10 minutes while a few people finished. The bell finally rung dismissing 1st period to 2nd. I waited for Anthony by the stair case. The warning bell rung as Anthony walk through the stair case doors. While we were talking. Some dude behind me kept walking on the back of my new Retro's. "Can you stop! I know you feel yourself walking on my new shoes!" I snapped turning around to see who it was.
"What you gone do ?" Stephen said. Anthony turned around and looked at him.
"Chris!" Wardell called.
Chris walked over to his group.
"What." He said irritatedly.
"Man what's wrong with you?" Stephen asked.
"Nothing." Chris said in a calmer tone.
"We'll beat him up that'll make you feel better." Wardell insisted.
"No you won't either." Anthony interrupted.
"Who was talking to you?" Stephen asked.
"Nobody. That don't mean I can't talk does it?" Anthony replied.
"Somebody smelling themselves?" Stephen asked.
"Nope. But I can smell you though." Anthony says.
I laughed at him.
"I don't know why you are laughing you're the one that's about to get beat." Wardell said.
My face slightly straitened but I still want to laugh though. I had thought of something smart to say but I ended not saying it to prevent escalation. I still had a smirk on my face. "Say something." Anthony whispered.
"Oh Really. Who supposed to beat me? I know it can't be you. You can't even make a free throw to save v your c life." I reply to Wardell.
I wish I hadn't listened to Anthony right now. Wardell threw a punch at my jaw. I punched his jaw harder. I had some bitterness in me from when all they sent me to the nurses office. I kept punching Wardell while Stephen tried to help Wardell but Anthony held him off me. Anthony then pulled me off Wardell. I was about to walk to class until the security guards caught us. He took me, Anthony, and Wardell to the principals office. The guard handed Wardell an ice pack for his jaw. Stephen and everyone else left the scene. "I got it." Anthony whispered.
"Got what?" I whispered back.
"When they ask say I did it so you won't get in trouble." He says.
"It was all me. So I take responsibility for it." I say.
"No. You know how your parents are." He says.
"Fine." I agreed.
Just by the thought of my parents I agreed. The principal walked in and began taking with us.
