Him

Chapter Four

"Wake up, lazy ass." I pull the blanket off of Riss.

"Let me sleep." She squeaks.

"U can't. I'm not going to school without you today."

"Shit, school." She says in realization that it's only Tuesday.

She clearly isn't a morning person.

When it comes to mornings. I'm good, unlike all other highschool students, I'm actually very awake in the mornings. Plus the view is pretty good from where I live, it's in the hills, you can see the whole city. 

Riss jumps off her bed and hurries to the shower that connects to my room. We slept in the same bed without even realizing it, as always.

A few minutes later of Riss in the shower, her phone starts to ring and it's her dad. Instead of tapping my finger on the decline I tap on the accept.

"You are gonna bring your stupid ass back home young lady! Stop being such a little bitch about what's going on between me and your mom right now. I am your father and you are going to listen to me! Your little friend Vanessa is not the one who raised you." He spits over the phone. "Hey! You hear me!?
 
He talks for a little longer until I finally decide to speak up. " Don't be yellin' at my friend Mr. Michael! I may not be Riss' parent but I'm her best friend! She doesn't have to do what you say! After what you did yesterday you should apologize!"

"Let me speak to my daughter, young lady."

"Have you even thought about what you did and how hard you are making it for your daughter?! You cheated on her mother and then hurt her without even saying sorry! Apologize Mr. Michael! Today, tomorrow, whenever. I'm not sure your daughter what's to even hear you voice right now. Bye!" I yell and end the conversation.

I move my face and realize that Riss was listening all along.

"He called." She sighs. "Let's go. I'm ready."

When we get to school it's the same as always. Riss and I slide out of the car and get on our way into the building. Once I get to my locker I put my stuff away and get on my way to the new student.

I follow the note I was given and begin. When I get to the locker, my jaw drops.
The new student is the guy that thrusted  my ass.

"Hey." I say and take a step closer to his locker.

"Look who's here." He says in a cocky voice. "I knew you was interested."

"You're Jace Tebon?" I say in disbelief.

"That's right."

"Well I'm just here to show you around, since you're new here." I start. "Let's go."

He closes his locker and follows me. "So we're gonna start by the gym, and I'm just gonna show you your classes."

"I already know everything about this school, so how about we skip this and have some alone time?" He utters.

"Do you know me?" I ask.

"I would love to."

"You know what? If you already know all about this school then I'll just go." I state.

"Nah, let's just continue." He says.

After a few minutes, school already started and everyone is out of the hallways. I show him everything.

"We're done now." I start heading to my locker and he stops me.

"I ain't crazy if that's what you thinking. I really like you girl, and I would like it if you gave me chance." He starts to brush my face with his right thumb.
