Just Pretending [Discontinued]

She's like a furby, she learns humans.

"Junior I'm not quite sure M&M's qualify as healthy food." My mom chuckled while eating her toast.

"But the dentist says that the more colour the better." I pointed out, pointing my spoon at her.

"I don't think he meant it literally."

"Well next time he should be more spe-" I was cut off by my mom's ringtone.
She looked at the caller ID, and picked it up.

While she talked, I washed my cereal/M&Ms bowl and prepared myself for school.

As I swigged my backpack and kissed my mom, she grabbed my arm and sat me down.

With a raised eyebrow, I obeyed.

"Oh that's terrific. Yes, I'll tell them. Kiss. Yes, bye. Go back to work, you lazy bum!" She laughed and hung up.

"Junior, I've got the best news!" She squealed.

I looked at her and she stared back, smiling extremely widely.

"Go on..." I made a moving motion with my hand.

"You dad is coming home for the weekend!"

I got up, grabbed a glass of water, sat back down, and drank some. Then, I spit it out like in movies.

My mom had placed her jacket in front of her face.

Oh, will you look at that. She's like a furby, she learns humans.

"Are you serious? Like dead serious?"

"I don't think I'm dead but I'm sure I'm serious. Or as Ella would say: I'm Sirius Black." She winked.

Like I said, Furby.

"That's great news" I smiled.

Jesus. I need to find J.J.

"Hello, my hipster" I said, leaning against Ella's classroom.

She came close to me and put her John Lennon glasses on her face.

"Where are we going?" She asked as I completely deviated from our usual hanging spot.

"Somewhere with lots of people." I smirked.

She groaned and grabbed her backpack straps. An old habit.

When we approached the benches people started whispering. Oh great.

My brother was talking to his friends and Robert was one of them. PER-FECT.

I climbed the stairs and coughed loudly.

"J.J, will you be a dear and follow me? Actually Rob, can you come too?"

"Whatever you have to say, I'm sure you can say it to all of us." A valdie sitting next to him responded.

"Sure; J.J bald eagle's duty over." I leaned against a pole. When we were kids, we created these little codes for certain situations. Right now, I'm praying he remembers them.

He looked at me with a questioning look and then started laughing. Using our twin eye telepathy,he asked if I was 'for real'. I put on a poker face to answer.

"Guys, I really gotta take this." JJ followed me down the steps with Rob right behind him.

"Dad called mom saying he's coming over. Just look who finally cares." I puffed.

"Justice you know that's his job."

"Sometimes I think he loves the president more then he loves us."

"You know that's not true."

"Who did he spent Christmas with? Was it us, J.J?"

"Will you cut him some slack? They said there was gonna be a assassination attempt!" He yelled in my face. I rolled my eyes.

"Not saying this is not important but why am I here?" Rob interrupted.

"Oh yeah, I told my brother and Ella the truth. Also if you wanna make this believable you will hang out with me in art." I stormed out of the place.

✳✴✳✴✳✴✳

"Who would know that art could be this boring." Rob whispered to me.

My phone vibrated in my pocket and I answered.

"Mario's pizzeria and abortion clinic, your loss is our sauce. What can I do to help?" Rob giggled at that.

"Justice, it's Wade." Wade said in very worried voice.

"Hey Wade, s'up?" I leaned back in my chair and saw the teacher looking at me.

Because it was very dark in the room I yelled in my phone "Oh Em Gee! That girl is sooooo trashy right?" In a very girly voice. Then I pointed the phone in my face.

"Justice, what do you think you're doing?" He sighed.

"Isn't it obvious? I'm throwing shade!"

Someone play Smooth Criminal, because I nailed that!

People laughed and I bowed.

"Take it outside and then I want your phone."

I put my hands up in surrender and walked outside.

"What in heaven's name was that?" He asked laughing.

"Sorry, had to get out of a dark situation."

"There are more important things right now. Focus!"

"Your sweet-Piñata better have important news because I just lost my phone for a day."

"Phoenix she's... She's really sick. If you don't want to come over because of school I-" I cut him off

"- I'll be there in 30."

I walked in the classroom, harshly dropped the phone on the table grabbed my backpack and ran out the classroom. When I was out, I started crying.

The stables were actually only 10 minutes from school but I calculated I would break down.

"Hang in there Phoenix." I whispered to myself.
