Until the end

Boys will be boys

           I crawled out of bed to the sound of my mom dragging herself to her room with a bottle of beer in her hand. Akira also was woken up by her and poked his tired head out the door.

           "Shut up already I'm trying to sleep!" He yelled.

           Mom slowly turned her head to him and threw the empty bottle in his direction.

          "Ma!" I screamed. "You could have killed him!"

           She continued giving him the death glare that could give anyone the hibijibis. After about three minutes she proceeded back to her room with a growl.

          "What do you think I was trying to do!"

           I looked across the hall at Akira to make sure he wasn't harmed by any glass shards. I could tell he was perfectly fine by the way he flopped back on his bed. I rolled my eyes as usual and went to get dressed. Today I wanted to look hot. I was seeing mr beautiful teachers aid Elliot who called me cute today. Why wouldn't I want to look hot and not like at hot mess which is me everyday. I ran my hand through my closet of many outfits that have never been worn before (because I'm just not the type of girl who looks hot on a daily basis). I felt something soft and decided that's what I would wear , after all if I'm going to be hot I might as well be comfortable too. It was a high black skirt that was sooooo comfortable but when I put it on I was soooooo cold. It's winter for crying out loud! Why do girls wear these things during the winter!? I then shifted through my  dresser till I found a nice blue shirt. It was a v-neck with short sleeves that looked great with my mini skirt. I then proceeded to put on converse, I'm sorry but no guy is worth not wearing comfortable shoes. After brushing my teeth and hair and doing my mascara and eyeliner, I went downstairs.

          Once I was down there I was surprised to see Akira awake and making himself breakfast. Apparently he was surprised to see me too because his eyes grew wide and his jaw dropped at the sight of me. I could have sworn he almost dropped his cereal.

         "What the heck are you wearing?" He questioned.

          "Clothes." I told him walking to the pantry.

         "You know what I mean moron! What's with your outfit today? It's not like it's gonna help you get a guy." He said rudely.

          "Well I already have a guy so what's it matter to you anyway?" I countered back.

           Akira just about spit out his milk.

         "You....have a guy?" He asked.

         "Well not exactly... But he called me cute!! So that's good enough! ....right?"

          He did a face palm then told me:

          "You're so stupid. He's probably some fuck boy in it for some attention."

          I gave him a glare as soon as he said it. Elliot is a perfect example of a man. Akira would never understand that and he could never be anything close to him.  I just brushed it off and proceeded to get my food. Afterwards I grabbed my bag about to leave when he stopped me.

         "Skylar don't attach yourself to easily. You know what happens when you do."

          I stood there for a second speechless then I turned towards the door again.

          "I know. I'm not that stupid." I told him and left.

          Sitting on the porch I remembered my past with boys. I always was left for someone else. It's happened five times already. Maybe he's right. Maybe Akira is right. But then again Elliot seems different. He's ..... Well he's perfect!
