The Cethan Story

Confessions [5]

-Ethan's POV-

Monday.

We were going back to that hell-hole we call school. I'm actually glad Casey moved here from England, so I'd have something to smile about every day. But, he was always complaining why the girls gave him 'those looks.'   When he first arrived to America, about 7 months ago, he was so happy, because he finally got to meet us.

We first met by a typo that I had made on instagram; I, later that night, direct messaged him. I guess we started getting closer from then on. His parents eventually thought it would be better if they'd move to Brooklyn, New York. I hadn't questioned them; though, the entire time I was smiling non-stop, having the giddiest feeling. Casey and I had been friends for over 4 years, almost 5. We met in the 7th grade, and our friendship had become stronger.

Casey coming into my life was the best thing that happened to me.

*^*^*^*^*

I was the first one ready as usual, so I decided to be a good person and cook the others breakfast. Putting in my ear buds, I strutted my way into the kitchen. Very stylishly– if I do say so myself.

I started by making eggs, since it was Evelyn and Jeremy's favorite thing to eat in the morning; also making them bacon. Taking out the cereal, bowls, and milk; I made 2 bowls for me and Zoe, because Casey and Ally will only eat French toast on Mondays.

I laid everything on the kitchen island, making sure not to spill or drop anything. After putting everything down, I walked up the stairs to go wake everyone up. I started off with Evelyn and Jeremy, making sure they're not having any morning sex.

"WAKEY WAKEY, EGGS AND BAKEY. WE HAVE SCHOOL IN AN HOUR!" I screamed form the top of my lungs, making sure to be as close to their door. Since I had soundproof walls in my house, the others wouldn't be able to wake up as easily. I heard a thump from inside the room, followed by a groan and Jeremy's raspy voice yelling out, "What the fuck, Ethan." I ran down the hall into Zoe and Ally's room, telling them to wake the hell up.

Lastly, I walked into my room, crouching down next to Casey's body. "Hey, sleepy head," I whispered, jiggling his body a bit, "WAKE THE FUCK UP, WE HAVE TO GO TO SCHOOL."

He tossed his body over and groaned my name, telling me to shut the hell up before he throws something at me. I sat on top of him, cutting off his air ways. Making him move around from under me, while he was pounding my back.

I stood up and ran down the stairs, hearing multiple footsteps trudging down the stairs, I sat in my seat, slowly eating my cereal. They stopped abruptly and stared at the food. Zoe was the first to break the silence by saying, "For waking us up like that, this is a good reason why." They all sat in their seats and began to eat.

Talking about what happened during school the week before, Evelyn whined, "We have a fucking test in maths. For fucks sake, I didn't even study."

I heard Casey scoff from beside me, "You always pass your classes, I don't see why you're complaining." Then suddenly, they started to argue about who had the best grades and who was failing.

I felt a headache start to come from all the bantering, so I spoke up and said, "Its fucking Monday, I already have a reason to be pissy. Don't give me another one." That seemed to shut them up and let them finish eating.

*^*^*^*

We were all ready in less than 45 minutes, which gave us time to go get coffee from the local café. We took two separate cars for later, mine and Evelyn's cars. We headed our way off to school, gossiping about the latest couples that had formed inside of the schools.

*^*^*^*

We arrived 10 minutes early before the bell rang, making our way to our lockers, which were in the same hall. We took our books out and started talking about Jason and Jessica's relationship; how it was going downhill.

As we were into the conversation, we heard Ellie giggling with Ally, the pair walking towards us.

Ellie stood next to Evelyn and waved at us, "Hi guys. So, what's up?" she said, bouncing on her heels. Ally looked over at her and held her gaze. It seemed as if they had a small attraction to each other.

Then she would've told us. My mind was all mixed up; I was contemplating whether or not Ally and Ellie had a sort of relationship other than being friends, when I heard the school bell ring. We all went to our homerooms, me, Jeremy, Zoe and Casey shared it with each other.

We sat in our seats and listened to Mr. Hornsby, his annoyingly squeaking voice rambling on about what he did this weekend.

*^*^*^*^*

Lunch finally came along, we all, luckily, had this together. Since we were a small school, the freshman's and sophomores had shared first lunch together and the juniors and seniors shared second.

We grabbed our lunches from the kind lunch lady; even though I don't like the schools food, I eat it anyway, so I don't faint from appetite loss.

Going outside to our usual table, we sat down and started talking about what was happening recently.

Evelyn held her hand up to stop us all from talking. "I have an announcement to make guys." She said, a smile coming onto her lightly flushed face. "Jeremy and I started dating, starting from today." We heard a squeal coming from Ellie; she started jumping around in her seat, a smile also on her face.

Zoe suddenly cleared her throat and said in a rushed voice, "I think I might have feeling for Jason." I could barely pick up what she was saying, but I think I heard clearly. I heard sighs from the Casey and Jeremy, and blabbering from the girls.

"Since we're all saying confessions," Ally took a breath, "I like you Ellie." Everyone went dead silent, looking around, until Casey spoke up, "Did I turn you lesbian? From, like, turning you down?"

Ellie grabbed Ally's hand and walked away from us, not without shooting a glare towards Casey.

"Ok, I also have a confession to make," Casey said; looking at all of us. "Don't freak out or anything..."

"Just say it, gosh darn it." Ally and Ellie came out from the girls bathroom when I heard Casey say those words, "I love you, Ethan."

I felt him grab my chin and tilting my head up, as he captured his lips with mine.

  Your hand fits in mine, like it was made just for me.
