Stay With Me

Chapter 2

I get up and brush the snow off my jeans. "Hi, sorry i fell on you."

"It's fine." He just shrugs it off like nothing.

"Ok, well uh bye." I turn around walking away. I can't believe that happened. I must look like an idiot. I get home and drop my backpack on the floor. My large white fuzzy cat walks over to me and I pick him up.

"Hey Shrek" Yes his name is Shrek, I named him when I was 10. My mom found him on the side of the street when she was driving home from work. She wanted to find him a home and well... He found a home with us.

I put him down and go to the kitchen to grab a snack. I munch on some carrots and watch tv.

The next day I wake up and go downstairs to see my mom laying on the couch.

"I thought you were working today." She works a lot and I rarely get to see her.

"No, I have to take Steve to work. He doesn't want to walk threw all this snow." Steve is my mom's husband. I wish he would get run over by a bus. He's not my dad, he's just some dude my mom met on the internet five years ago. Their not even a couple, they barely kiss each other or talk to each other. They don't even sleep in the same room. My mom snores and he's a 'light sleeper' so he sleeps in the spare room.

"Oh ok, can you drive me to school then?"

"Sorry May, I have to leave now. I'll see you after work." She gets up and goes to our white van and leaves with shit head aka. Steve. I grab my backpack and make my way to school.

I'm half way to school when I feel someone tap on my shoulder. I turn around to see, Luke?

"Hey, I just wanted to make sure your ok from your ice accident yesterday." He says with a smile but I can tell he's also concerned.

"Ya I'm fine, just a little sore. You have hard shoes." I giggle a bit. God, why did I giggle? That makes me sound like one of those perky barbie girls.

"Ya, my dad works on construction sites and I help out sometimes so I have work boots."

"Oh, thats cool. Well I gotta get to school. If I'm late my teacher is going to kill me." I walk away and look at my phone. Shit, I'm already ten minutes late.

"Hey, wait." Luke jogs to catch up with me. "Do want to just skip? We could go to the mall if you want." I've never skipped before, I'm not a nerd but I'm not a bad boy or uh bad girl so I've never thought about skipping before.

"My mom will get mad at me."

"My mom is the principal, she lets me and my friends skip sometimes. I'll tell her not to call your parents." Well thats kind of illegal but I guess missing one day won't hurt.

"Ok, but only for today." He smiles and grabs my hand and starts walking to the mall.
