The Boy Next Door

39: The Boy Next Door

"You're so cute," Jessica said.

"You're cuter," Justin retaliated.

"No, you're cuter,"

"No, you're cuter,"

"No, you're cu—"

"Oh, would you two shut up!" I snapped. "It's cute that you two are finally dating and all, but you're gonna make me puke up this school lunch."

I'm actually pretty glad that Justin and Jessica are a thing now for many reasons. Now that Jessica dates Justin, he's no longer a chick magnet, which always used to annoy me. Yeah, girls still stare at him every now and then, but not as much, because black-belt-Jessica can easily kick their asses if they take one glance at her man.

And now that he finally has Jessica he doesn't have to nag me to do anymore favors for him.

"We can't make you puke up something you don't eat." Justin stated.

"True," I said before picking up my tray and tossing it in the trash like I do every other lunch period.

"If you put ketchup on it, it'll make it better." Jessica said.

I shook my head. "No, it makes it worse."

Jessica opened her mouth to say something, but was interrupted by the ringing of the bell. "See you later, guys." I said, getting up and walking down the hallway.

I made my way to my next class. I walked down the hallway until I reached my next classroom.

I spent my time in the last two classes I had, which flew by pretty quickly.

When the final bell rang, I thankfully jumped out of my seat and scurried to my locker. When I got to my locker, I opened it and got all the books that I needed for homework and shoved them in my backpack.

I slammed my locker door and put on my jacket. I slung my backpack over my shoulder and walked out of the school.

It's finally the end of Friday, and the weekend is finally here. I feel like it's been forever since I've had a break from that evil little rat of a teacher, Ms. Eisner.

When I was outside, I met with Nick who was waiting outside. We got into his car and drove to pick up Carter.

When we picked up Carter, we drove home. When we were home, I ran upstairs before Carter could say anything to me about video games. I walked into my room and closed the door, making sure to lock it so that Carter can't barge in like he usually does.

I slung my backpack on my bed and decided to start on my homework, I usually put off homework on Fridays, but I had a shit load of it, so I decided to get a head start.

I pulled out my chemistry textbook and turned to the required page. I took out a piece of paper and an ink pen and read the first question.

1.) A hydrogen bond is a—

I rolled my eyes when I heard a loud noise at my window. I got up and opened the window. I looked out to see Michael. He dint say anything, but he gave me a signal, telling me to come over.

I glanced at my chemistry textbook, contemplating on wether to stop my homework or not. I shrugged my shoulders and closed my window before walking out of my room.

I walked down the stairs and put my hand on the doorknob of the front door. "I'll be right back," I called out to my mom, not waiting for a response before leaving the house.

I walked over to Michael's house and rung the doorbell. I waited for a few seconds before the door swung open and Michael came into view.

"Hey," I said before walking into the house.
