My Robot (boyxboy)

Chapter 1: We Got A What?

Author's note: Andrew is the picture of the blond 😌

I shuffled into the last class of the day with my backpack slung over my shoulder. Most of the kids ignored me which I wasn't a stranger to. Ever since I'd been outed in eighth grade by a former friend who'd told a friend without thinking the other would go tell everyone else, I'd been treated like this.

My eyes scanned through the desks and stopped on one person in particular. They weren't exactly a 'person' per say. Robots had been introduced to our world with intelligence beyond us, all downloaded with intelligence on whatever subject the owner desired. Some used them for sex, grocery shoppers, babysitters, and so much more. They been around before I was born but I still didn't like it. There were too many stories on the internet of malfunctioning robots and crazy theories for me to just accept that this was now the way of life.

I sat in the back by my friend Fawn like usual and smiled over at her. "Hey, babes. How was your day?" I questioned. By the way she sighed and dropped her hand on the desk, I knew that I'd be regretting asking her such a question.

"You will not believe all the homework I have in pre-calc tonight. Three assignments for this break. I am so pissed off right now," she sighed and shook her head slightly. She continued on with complaining about the assignments she was given and all I could do was listen. Luckily, we had just finished testing the day before and would be going on spring break tomorrow so we had nothing to do in class.

The bell rang quicker than I had expected it to. Fawn and I decided to hang out at my place since my mother didn't care if she spent the night.

I drove us to my house and sighed once I dropped my bag down on the floor by the door. "Mom, we're home!" I called out. I heard footsteps come down the steps, expecting to see my mother but instead saw a male close to my age walk down. I could only see him from the side and I was quite pleased with what I saw. He had dirty blonde hair that seemed to have natural looking highlights and a body defined with a bit of muscle even if most of it was covered with clothes.

"Whoa..." Fawn whispered, voicing my thoughts. He tilted his head to look over at us and smiled slightly, the most beautiful smile I'd ever experienced, but I was too focused on the black lines littering his neck horizontally. "Mom!" I shouted suddenly. The unnamed robot took a step towards me, but I stepped away from him. Fawn seemed to be too transfixed in checking him out.

She came down the stairs and gave me a shy smile. She knew exactly why I yelled at her. I never liked the idea of robots. They seemed too intelligent for my liking and something only a lazy person would want to possess. "Honey, your father sent you this as a present. He thought it'd help with everything- homework, all that," she explained and bit her lip nervously. My father and mother had gotten divorced back when I was in middle school. The man was never around so he wouldn't have any clue that I despised having one.

"I'm Andrew," he spoke up finally and looked from my mother to me. His eyebrows furrowed before he asked, "You are disappointed in me? I have other programs you can try if you'd prefer."

I sighed and bit my lip. "Fawn, c'mon," I mumbled before looking over at the present my father thought I wanted. "You too," I sighed towards the Andrew and headed upstairs.

Once in my room, we made him sit on the chair at my desk while Fawn and I sat on my bed. Shamelessly and curiously, we stared at him for a moment.

"I'm Ryker. This girl is Fawn, my best friend," I finally spoke up. He seemed to take in the information before a smile played at his lips. "Those are lovely names. Ryker, if I may," he spoke. My eyebrows furrowed, unsure of what he was going to do. Suddenly, he stood up from the seat he'd been in before coming over to stand in front of me. His forehead pressed against mine while he looked into my eyes. I'd heard about how robot did this to properly attach to their owner or owners but it seemed so different. Andrew seemed too real and having someone with such attractiveness so close caused me to lose my breath a little. After half a minute, he pulled away from me and give a little nod. "All done. Is there anything you'd like me to do or any program you'd like to try?" He questioned. I shook my head and looked over at Fawn to see if she did.

She leaned in close to me before whispering jokingly, "I hear they have downloads for gay males now for the sex programs..." I pushed at her shoulder before rolling my eyes.

"No, Andrew. Thank you though," I answered him, ignoring Fawn. I was uncertain how all of this would go and I didn't need Fawn making stupid jokes about using Andrew as a sex machine for my benefits.

I'm restarting this book over since my writing when I started this was just dreadful so I hope you like the revised version. It makes much more sense and you won't be annoyed by my poor writing skills, or lack of.
