After the rest of the night passed away, i texted D in the morning. "Hey so where do i start?"
It was a clear min before he replied,"talk go Ace and get him into saying her name atleast".
"Okay............",i replied. Cause from the way he said it, it looks like Ace never talks about his mom. I mean his bestie doesnt even know his mom's name. How the hell do i do this?

So I somehow got through the first class mostly trying to answer the question that had popped in my head earlier today. But neither answers satisfied me. But i guess the universe had given me enough time cause then they gave me the person. Ace. He was just behind me.
"I'm pretty sure Miss Cameron that your locker is the one there", pointed Ace towards a blue locker which was third to the right of the locker i was actually standing in front of. Which was Ace's locker.
"Oh uh yeah. Im just..you know..."
"Stressed?", suddenly Ace blurted. I hesitated to understand why he said ill be stressed. So he answered it "Because you, Miss Cameron, are coming to my house party the day after tomorow. We're celebrating one last time before our football coach Mr. Zackery leaves us for some better brats. But they're just a bunch of brats. And you're just stressed cause you dont know how you'll look your best at the party. I'll tell you how-", then we were interrupted by the bell which told us to get back to our classes.
"I'll tell you how at break, yeah? Bye", with that he left and i just nodded. This is my chance, the lunch break. And with that i went back to class.

The time seemed to have stopped because we've been with Mrs.Jackson for two classes on end since both subjects were her's, English and history. But the finally the bell rang and students were set free. But not me from my thoughts and promises. As i reached the cafeteria and sat down beside Ace who was with his jockish friends. He dismissed them and we were left alone.....together. What the hell are you doing? Focus on your mission you dumbass. So he started the convo, "So...like I was saying, you should wear something black. It'll look amazing on you. And also something that doesn't stick to your legs so it will enhance your waist"
" Why? Do I not have a waist or what?", I said. A bit mad and also embarrased
"No it's just that it'll sync your butt and bust together. You'll look terrific"
"So now you're telling me that you know if my boobs and ass are of the same size or not?"
"How will I if you don't show me?", I was startled at this but then he continued after a long pause. Like a long long one giving me time to...'unturn' into a tomatoe?
"Cause all you ever wear are oversized tshirts",I wont lie by saying that it calmed me down but it somehow relieved a part of me.
I broke the awkward silence with a, "Are your mom and dad gonna be there?"
He replied unaffected and emotionless, "No mom and dad left before I was born"
"Oh um..", then I didnt wanna continue but I needed to go as far as to know his mom's name. So I shamelessly continued,"Another sorry isnt gonna fix it cause by now you must have heard millions,so let's try talking about it?"
He stared at me blankly before saying, "A sorry will be much better". And then he left. While I felt so so shameless. You are though, it's no surprise you're finally feeling it.

After that I went back to class. None of them required us to explicitly study since one of them was art and craft and the other two had group projects going on. Which was just another name for Teacher Appointed Gossip or popularly TAG. Then finally the bell rang and students rushed out. I was trying to search for Ace within all of this. I found him standing with Benny. D was missing, infact I now noticed that I haven't seen him at school even once today even though most of our classes today fall together. I had a brilliant question then and there that would clear quite a big doubt. So I ran to him and stood between Benny and Ace and asked him. "Wait so do you get you title from your mom or dad?"
He couldn't process for a minute so he replied slowly with one of his eyebrows raised,"Mom....?"
"Oh.....ok thanks"and then I ran till I reached the gate. I bet that question got them thinking "what the hell". Cause seriously who in broad daylight comes running and goes "Oh Ace, who did you get your hotsy title from?". Also that face. What the hell, Rhyss? I reached home whilst thinking all this and the first thing I saw outside my house was a big red car. It had two black strippings, and I recognized it as a dodge challenger hellcat.
"Looks damn good but feels damn better",said Dominique as he emerged from my front porch. "I've been waiting for you. Wanna go on a ride?", he smirked. When the hell did Dominique Dominguez know how to smirk so hotly?

Next thing I know is that we were cruising through the city as the headlights started to come on and we were going through tunnels. As the law goes, you must rev a muscle car in the tunnels. As D did so the tunnel filled with it's monstrous sound which echoed through the tunnels, and music which was playing on the car. We finally reached cafe on the highway named "The jazz". It was more of a pub to be honest. D and I sat down on a table near to a window which gave a clear view to the big bad dodge which I was inevitably falling in love with. I glanced out the window one last time before giving the order and talking with D who suddenly asked almost shouted "Ace!"
