Standing On Edge (boyxboy)

Cahpter 7: The new americana

Alicia looked at me. I smiled and i understood her. I dont know... I just felt like i connected to her. "Roman holiday" by halsey was blaring through my headphones.

Alicia: thanks.
She smiled
Me: dont worry about it.

Alicia sighed and looked back at vicky.

Alicia: i hate her so much.
Me: why is she nasty towards you?
Alicia: she's my stepsister.

I cringed at the thought of that.
Wow. What is Jocelyn was like that? Or derrick? That would suck.

I looked back at Alicia. She wiped up tears from her sleeve. I knew how she felt.

Me: i would never trade you for her. Ever

Alicia smiled,

Alicia: thanks cory.
Me: don't worry about it!

DERRICKS POV
I was really glad cory picked Alicia. She was so nice, and she deserved better. I was happy that leo found a friend. I didn't want vicky to corrupt him. She would make him famous. Then suck out all his precious happiness, and push him under the bus.

Vicky: what are you thinking about.
Me: cory. I want him to be okay.
Vicky: he's so weird and awk.

I grabbed her wrist and pulled it down. She struggled.

Me: look i care about him. Leave him alone.
Vicky: or what derrick!? What? Your going to break up with me? Yeah right! You NEED me.

I hated her. I was so constricted and i couldn't breath. Jocelyn was right. I never loved vicky. I thought she was different.

I let go. And i ran. And ran. People saw me as strong and powerful. I sucked in my tears. I ran into my class, plugged in my headphones and tuned everyone out.

CORYS POV
I laughed. Alicia was so nice.

Alicia: do you have your classes?
Me: yeah. I have chem first. What about you?
Alicia: i have chem too! What teacher?
Me: pingle
Alicia: ME TOO!

We ran upstairs to our class.
Derrick was sleeping on a desk.
Jocelyn was talking to a boy and callie.

There were two desk open. I ran to them and sat down. Alicia came over and sat next to me.

A fairly full man walked in an started reading everyone off.

Jocelyn terreros?
Here. Ugh.
Callie wiegelt?
Here.
Derrick peters?
Here.
Cory smith?

I quickly said here and raised my hands.
Everyone turned to look at me.

Pingle: you must be new.
He smiled
Me: yeah.
Pingle: well welcome to class.
Me: thanks

Someone whisperd behind me.
I turned back and i saw a boy with dark-ish skin, black hair, and glasses. He was quietly talking to jocelyn.

???: who is that?
J: that's my stepbrother.
???: you have a STEPBROTHER?
J: yeah?
???: how did i not get this?

He turned to look at the front.

The classes were really boring.
Then it was lunch time.

The commons were beautiful. A Huge glass paned wall leading to garden style yard. Walls lined with royal blue couches. I liked this school.  A boy walked up to me.

???: you
Me: me?
???: yeah you
Me: what?
???: you're Jocelyn's step-brother.
Me: i am.
???: you're cory right?
Me: yeah. And you are..?
???: I'm Brayan.

I laughed.

Me: seems legit. Nice to meet you.

Alicia bounded round the corner and took my hand.

Alicia: come
Brayan: hey queen!

Alicia swiveled around and was met fave to face with brayan. She smiled and spread her hands.

Me: you know him?
Alicia: oh yeah. He's bae.

Brayan laughed as he outstretched his arms to give her a hug.

Brayan: ive known this girl since seventh grade.

Alicia turned to us both.

Alicia: come come.

We followed her to a lunch table where we set our backs packs. We got up and got our lunches. Alicia quickly had to ho to the bathroom so it was just me and Brayan.

Brayan: so your gay?
Me: what??? No! No! Im not a fa-
Brayan: save it cory- you dont have to hide it from me. I wont tell anyone. And your whole "crush on derrick" is safe with me too. Dont worry cory.
Me: how do you know all this?
Brayan: im clairvoyant
Me: you worship the devil?
Brayan: no... Oh my lord.

And with that we started eating. We ate our hearts out alicia eventually came too. But lemme tell ya that girl can POOP. :)
