Clay POV

"It can't be my fault! I didn't choose to be second." I hear George on his phone "Tom- why are you involving him in this thing again!"

"no-"
"no- Tom has- no mom! Tom has nothing to do with my grades! I'm perfectly-"

There's a long break.

has he finished?
I open the door when George suddenly shouts "fuck you!" before throwing his phone to the ground.

we look at each other, but he doesn't say anything.

while I walk to my bed, George picks his phone up and checks if it's okay.
"is your phone alright?" I ask "yeah." he mumbles.

"are you alright?" I ask, he looks at me and stays quiet for a few seconds but answers "yeah."

"that Tom.. the man-" I get cut off "did you hear anything?" he turns to me "uhh- I heard the 'fuck you' part." I lie.

"and the rest?"
"nope."

"so that tom, I thought about this while we had the fight, why don't you like each other?" I ask "cause he's obviously jealous that my mom has a son." George tells me.

"why would he be jealous?" I ask "because my mom doesn't want any children with him." he sits himself down.

"what a pussy." I say
"thought that too."

I look inconspicuously at him.
I watch how he plays with his fingers and slowly disappear in his own world.

the finger playing gets slower until it completely stops, he stares at one spot without blinking or moving any inch.

did that question do something to him?
His behaviour is telling me that Tom did something.

maybe he hit George or got his mom against him.. or maybe they just don't like each other.

"do you have any siblings?" I ask, he doesn't listen, "George." I say louder "hm?" he looks up "do you have any siblings?" I ask him again.

"no, luckily I don't." he says "aha.."
"why? were you hoping I had a sister your age?" he raises an eyebrow.

"what- no!"

"I just want to get to know you." I say to him "get to know me? you do know me." he awkwardly laughs.

"do I?" I raise an eyebrow.

he stays quiet "maybe a little." he laughs before standing up.
"where are you going?" I ask "Karl, he wanted to talk about something." is all that George said before he left.

George POV

I came back later that day and found Clay with a girl in our bedroom, to be clearly, it was Marie.

"oh, hey." I smile at her "hey George." she smiles back "what are you doing here?" I ask her.

"Clay and I are going to the club tonight." she looks at clay "the club?" I say "well have fun and don't be loud when you come back." I look at clay.

"I'll be as quiet as a mouse." he smirks "I hope so." I laugh before laying myself down.

"how's school going?" Marie suddenly asks.

right..
i haven't been focusing on school lately, there was too much going on.. or there is too much going on.

Tom will come back, he's going to 'tutor' me.
I know damn well that he's not.

he'll try something else, the other things.
but this time I'll stop him, I won't let him come near me.

I'll kick his ass.
