Tw: racism and homophobia

Mike.

"Yes mum." I said as I stuck a piece of my burnt toast into my mouth while slipping my shoes and jacket on, it had started to get colder since fall was rolling around the corner. I was not happy. I don't really like the cold, it has shorter days. Less out time.

"I know honey just find something nice and warm to wear please?" My mum said from the kitchen as I rushed out the door.

"Yeah, yeah I'll wear something warm, I'm going to be late." I yelled back. With that I was out of the door. I hoped into the back of my car, Range Rover, it had red leather seats and a window on the roof.

I loved my car, I was proud because I paid for most of it but my parents did pay for a little of it, it was expensive but not as expensive of those stupid sports cars. I pay for the gas though what I work hard for. My parents taught me at a young age how to use money and pay
for my own stuff by working hard.

I pulled up to the school, I closed my window at the top and locked up my car before walking into school.

"Hey Mike what's up?" Dustin yelled appearing by my side slinging an arm on my shoulder.

"Nothing, today I have a pretty easy schedule just PE, art, and biology." I said. A lot of free period's lately.

"Dude have you talked to Max recently? She's always busy. I think she's actually into her hookup from the party. Look what she posted on her story." Dustin showed me his phone. It was a picture of the two cuddling while playing video games, but I was already too busy looking at the background. There was Will and some girl that were talking while sitting on beanbags and he looked pretty comfortable around her.

I know he obviously hooked up with so many other people but they seemed really close, they was laughing as all his teeth was on full display as he laughed with her.

"Who's that?" | asked pointing at the girl next to him.

"Ha are you jealous about your boy toy liking some other girl?" Dustin teased. My head snapped at him with a low scol.

"No, I'm worried that he already has a girlfriend or is attracted to someone this will make it ten times harder to get him to fall in love with me. Also don't call him a toy." I said scoffing as Dustin just rolled his eyes.

"Well, I mean you're using him right? So...technically... he's a toy." Dustin grinned. No he's not.

"Dustin why are you acting like an asshole right now?" I asked. Our feet slowly making their way down the hall.

"He's not an asshole just an idiot he doesn't even know what he's doing wrong." Max said from behind Dustin walking up to us. Turning to her seeing a glowing smile across her face.

"Ugh you guys always team up on me, like what the fuck did I do?" Dustin asked.

"Breathe." Max and I both said at the same time.

Dustin just scoffed and pouted like the idiot he was when I noticed something on Max's neck. I hooked my finger on her collar and yanked down her shirt a little only to reveal so many more hickeys.

"Holy shit that cant be healthy." I teased. Max pushed me off flipping me off.

"Fucking pervert." Max snapped causing me to burst out laughing hanging my arm over her shoulders and continued to tease her about it until the bell rang

Me and Max was in the same pe class, she was just on the girls side but always sneaked into the boys locker room as she felt uncomfortable with the girls as she has no friends in her class. Are class contained a mix of boys and girls and in different years as well. Will was in our PE class along with Lucas too. I could already tell that Max was excited to see her boyfriend.
