CHAPTER 14

SOUL'S POV

First day back in a normal school.

how was I feeling?

First, frustrated.

What was I going to do? How was I going to act?

Was I going to play the celebrity card of someone who wants to leave fame behind and start over or was I going to play the other celebrity card of becoming Soul Harper 2.0?

Honestly, I just wanted a normal life for once, normal friends with low social profiles, if I'm being for real hanging out with people from the upper class made me feel basic sometimes but at Lorain High, I was going to be a star whether I liked it or not.

I picked up my phone and opened it, I had a text from Brittney which for some reason left me disappointed. A part of me was waiting for Noah's text after getting super hard reading all the thirsty dms he had sent me, I didn't know if he was okay or drunk or something and I honestly didn't care, it would have been creepy if it was like a grown ass man but Noah was basically my age but the fact that I was okay with it knowing well that he was a boy was still scaring me.

My phone instantly buzzed and to what was supposed to be a surprise but failed, it was a notification from Buzzfeed giving me the results from the previous night's test and turns out I was 25% gay, I froze for a second, cause ain't no way this was a coincidence, I looked up and my eyes met my reflection in the huge mirror near my bedside and I laughed at the fact that I felt like I was suddenly teleported in an episode of a sitcom, deep down I knew I should've been worried, 25% gay wasn't much but it still wasn't nothing.

My bedroom door opened and Derrick walked in wearing nothing but boxers with a bowl of cereal in his hand. I immediately covered myself with the sheets.

"hey, ever heard of knocking?" I protested angrily.

"sure, you should try it too." He answered and I rolled my eyes, "why are you still in bed, don't you have like school?"

"oh, I see. So, this is how it is going to be, huh?"

He laughed and took a big chunk of his cereal.

"a part of me just wants to stay here and write an album. Since I am on a lot of pressure" I said.

"uh huh, and a part of you just want to go to school to meet that mysterious boy you were asking me about?"

I froze.

"what?" I asked and he walked towards me and sat on my bed.

"I think you heard me perfectly." He answered and swallowed another mass of cereal.

"I don't have a mysterious boy that I have to meet."

"yeah, I know you Soul and you are never interested in any of my personal shit."

I fake dropped my jaw.

"that is not true."

He rolled his eyes.

"I know you took the Buzzfeed test."

My eyes widened in shock.

"wait, so now you are spying on me?"

He chuckled.

"so, you did take the Buzzfeed test? Man, that was a wild guess, so what were the results?" he asked and I felt my cheeks burn.

"nothing."

"oh c'mon, you can tell me."

"fine, I got 25% gay okay but it's just a test, a stupid test if you ask me, I mean if I take a Harry Potter test to find out which house I belong in and I end in Gryffindor that doesn't mean it's where I belong." I said trying to defend myself but the second I blurted out those words, I realized how stupid they sounded.
