||Bradley's POV||

 Yeah, You could be the greatest. You can be the best. You can be the King Kong banging on your chest. You could beat the world, you could beat the war. You could talk to God go--

I tugged the covers over my head as my phone alarm went off, playing Hall of Fame. Slowly, I reached for it and swiped the snooze button. I really don't wanna get up...

Hesitantly, I rolled out of bed, tumbling onto the floor. "Bradley, are you up?" A voice said from above. I looked up, meeting the blue eyes of a girl. "Yeah.. Sorry for waking you." I said, smiling lightly at her.

She returned to smile. "Last night was the best night I've had in a long time. Thanks, Bradley."

I blinked before remembering. This girl and I had hooked up the previous night. "UH.. I'm sorry, but what's your name again?" I asked cluelessly. The girl's smile was gone. "Are you serious?! Did you use me? I knew Opal was right. You are just a player!"

Opal told her this? I clenched my fists, frowning. "hhh... Whatever. Get out before my parents wake up." I mumbled quietly, releasing pressure from my hands. The girl rolled her eyes, and jumped out of bed. She stamped out of the room, huffing angrily. I groaned, and staggered to my feet, and over to my closet.

I open the slide door and browsed the shelves of clothes. I pulled a black band T-Shirt and a pair of blue jeans.

I slid the new clothes on, as well as some boxers. I woke up naked, if you didn't know.

My eyes wandered over to my door. The floor creaked. My parents were awake. I quickly swiped up my comb and ran it through my hair several times, leaving a hint of bed hair.

Afterwards, I sprinted out of my room, only to bump into my six foot tall dad. He glared down at me with his dark brown eyes, his black hair and tan skin only making him more fearsome. "Bradley.. Where are you off to?" He muttered. I blinked quietly, my eyes peering into his similar ones.

"Uh.. School..?" I said in a duh-tone.

My dad's eyes darkened even more, seeming to expand. Then shortly after, they softened. "Ugh. Go." He growled, returning to his room.

Feeling my phone vibrate, I slid it out of my pocket. I pressed the power button and looked at the lockscreen. It was filled with several text message notifications. I groaned, sliding the unlock button and tapping on the messaging app. I sighed as I received another text from my friend, Val.
