AXEL

Walter should've come up with this game suggestion on Sunday or earlier. I banged two girls then. That would've been a good headstart.

"Ey, my man," a hard slap came crashing down on my back. Instantly, I knew it was Francisco. He hits like a hulk.

I sighed and turned away. "Girl problems?" He teased. "Never knew you'd go serious."

"What's it to you?"

Francisco frowned then took a seat beside me. "You don't ever daydream like that."

Shrugging, I attempted to change the topic. "Have you done the History project?"

"Not yet. I don't have time for that thing. Ever since I joined the national basketball team, my life's shifted here and there a lot. I'm just glad Rainie supports me."

Yeah, meanwhile I'm just stuck on a stupid game. That's not a reason the teachers will accept when they find out I haven't started on my work.

Suddenly, I saw a really sexy blonde babe in a hot pink crop top and a tight leopard-print mini skirt walking past.

I tapped Francisco's shoulder while keeping my eye on her. "Hey um, I gotta go. Do some research for the project."

Francisco snickered. "Girl research, you mean."

"Shut up," I smacked him before brisk walking over to the girl.

"Have fun, I'll catch you later!" he shouted behind me.

I put my hands in my pocket and tried to play it cool. The girl was on the phone.

"STOP CHASING ME, JONATHAN!! I SAID WE'RE OVER!!" she screamed into her phone and angrily hung up.

"Hey darling," I lowered my voice and snickered. "The name's Axel. Wanna have some fun?"

"Nice to meet you. I'm Charlotte. And no thanks. I don't bang creeps."

Ouch.

Smirking, I taunted her. "Bet you're a virgin."

"Bye bye, creep," the girl smiled and waved, not bothering to reply to my statement before walked off.

Double ouch.

"Call me up anytime you wanna, anyway!" I hollered after her retreating figure.

Sigh, I'd better find a girl quick or I'll lose this game. Usually it's easy, but today's been a damn terrible day.

"I'm home, Mum," I said, dumping my bag on the sofa.

"Son!" she exclaimed. "Come quick, I want to introduce you to my new boyfriend."

"Uh... what?" I barely had time to register what was going on before I was hurriedly pulled into the kitchen.

"Hello, Axel," a tall man (at least a head taller than me) with a muscular build, olive skin, jet black bunned hair and a rather manly beard greeted me.

"Who are you?" I challenged, clenching my fists.

"Axel, be nice. This is my new boyfriend, Wayne," Mum shot me a disapproving glare.

I rolled my eyes. "Sorry."

"No worries. Go sit down. Dinner will be ready in a bit. We have sirloin steak!" Wayne smiled.

Apprehensive of this dude, I slowly walked over to the seat in the dining room and gradually sat my ass down.

"Mum," I whispered. "Where did you find him? He looks like some fierce biker-gangster!"

"Axel! Don't say that about Wayne! He seems cold on the outside but he's not like that inside!"

Eyeing his tattoos, I concluded he wasn't for my mum.

"You shouldn't get hooked just by a guy who can cook."

Mum ignored me. Instead, she clapped her hands excitedly when Wayne brought a plate of sirloin steak with glazed carrots, long beans and béarnaise sauce at the side.

Wow, I thought. It looks and smells so good.

No, of course I wasn't going to admit that.

Wayne set the plate in front of her, went back into the kitchen then came out and set a plate of the same dish in front of me. I stared at the well-presented entrée like it was some foreign object on a plate.

"Where are your manners?!" Mum nudged my arm.

"It's alright," Wayne laughed. "He can't take in my amazing cooking. That's all."

Mum and Wayne then proceeded to laugh while I scrunched my nose in disgust. Seriously?

This was going to be a long night. I can feel it.

After dinner, I headed back up to my room and logged on to my laptop and found that I had a few new Google Document invites. Must be the nerds at work. Being the jackass that I am, I reported the invites as 'spam'.

 Who cares about school projects anyway? I'm a bad boy and player for a reason!

I was about to close my laptop when a prompt came.

Email from Courtney H.

Rolling my eyes, I clicked 'view' and found an attachment beside the few words "I'm going to win." Moving my cursor to the attachment, I clicked on it and there were a few photos of her in lingerie and making out with some guy from our school on a bed.

Just seeing that made me angry. How could she be having a one night stand with someone on the first day of the game and I don't?

I took my phone and quickly called Ramona.

Yeah... I know. But I'm desperate okay?! That walking fish market has got to be much better than losing to Courtney.

"Axel!" Ramona's sickening witch-like voice greeted me. "Yes, I'll get my bed ready. Come over soon!"

I groaned and decided to make this one quick. Perhaps half an hour would do. If you think about it, doesn't it count as one girl out of fifty down? 

Sliding off my chair, I grabbed my valuables and ran downstairs.

"A-Axel?" Mum stuttered. "I thought you weren't going out."

"Uh..." I scanned the room, feeling traumatized.

Wayne had nothing but his briefs on and bottles of wine were on the floor. Mum was naked and using cushions to cover her 'woman places'. The living room was in nothing but a state of mess. A red-laced thong was on the TV, covering a part of the screen that was showing some action movie. A matching red-laced bra hung over the lamp. Clothes and more cushions were strewn everywhere. There was barely enough place to walk.

I had a strong urge to facepalm but remembered that I had Ramona to get to.

"Sorry, son. Your mum and I just..." Wayne started.

Slight feelings washed over me and I shook my head while waving them away. "I'm about to do the same anyway." As soon as I said that, I charged out the door.
