My best friend's brother

School

I awoke to my alarm going off in my ear. "Shit shit shit! This is gonna wake him up! Why the fuck won't it turn off!" I kept pressing my phone, trying to turn the alarm off so it wouldn't wake up Jase. When I finally got it off I turned to see if Jase was still asleep or if this fucking phone woke him up. He wasn't in the bed when i looked though. I got up and grabbed a light blue flannel with my black skinny jeans and my black puma shoes. I went to the bathroom after I changed to brush my teeth and do my hair. It took me about ten minutes just to do my hair. After I got every strand just right, I went downstairs to eat some breakfast. I turned the corner to see Jase standing there putting a plate with waffles on it on the table. "What are you doing up?"

"I didn't want you to be alone on your first day of school. Plus you look way too sexy for the bus this morning; I'm going to drive you."

"Jase, you don't have to. I'd rather take the bus than have you wake up this early just to drive me."

"Fine, but I'm gonna drive you today so that I can spend a little more time than you."

"Cat is right upstairs. You wanna wait for her then or leave her to ride the bus," I asked him. I sat down to eat my breakfast that he made me.

"No, I wanted some alone time; if that's okay with you I mean."

"Jase, I could never not want to spend alone time with you." I finished my waffle and gathered my things. Once more before we left I checked to see if my hair was still in the right place. I mean, I had spent ten minutes on it, it better still be lookin' good! We got into the car and left after he plugged in the school to his GPS. We talked about how awesome it was gonna be when I finally get out of high school and get to go to college and get to spend more time with him. I honestly couldn't wait until that dream that seemed so far away became a reality.

We drove up to the front entrance and I had five minutes before the bell rang for class. I had my schedule but I had no clue where the hell my classes were or who any of these teachers were. I wondered around trying to find my first period class and found it right as the bell rang. The teacher seemed nice, so that was good. I'm not going to say much, but Mr. Froder was a fucking sexy dike! He was twenty six and was our AB Stat teacher. I had a feeling that I was going to love that class.

My next class was my third period class, English class. I walked in and saw Cat sitting in the corner alone. I waved and sat down next to her. She leaned in and whispered in my ear. "The kid in the blue tank top is a fucking homophobe so watch him. And sadly, on that side of the room," she said while pointing to the far corner of the room, "is you're brother. I can't believe that he's in this class. You need to switch out now."

"I'll be fine. It's not like he's gonna do anything to me in front of a crowd of people."

"Connor, he's fucking crazy!"

"I'll be fine, don't worry." The class period continued on just as smoothly as it could of. Well, if we were driving on an unpaved road that is. Every time I looked in Deric's general direction he was staring right at me. It made me really uncomfortable but I wasn't going to switch out of the class just because my brother made me uncomfortable. For God's sake, I lived with him for 17 years.

After the bell rang to move from third period to fifth period Cat and I realized that we had the same next period as well. We walked to AP Gov. and met the best teacher in the world, Mr. Krizel. He was super funny and really smart. We had D lunch so by the time the period was over we were starving.

The final period of the day was my science class, Anatomy. I walked in and immediately wanted to scream. Deric was there with two of his friends. In fact, the same two that Cat and I beat the shit out of. All of the sudden my ribs began to hurt again. I felt like Harry Potter when he sees Voldemort.
