chapter two- hog's breath

i jumped into the shower when fafro finally walked through the door at 6:00. he glared at me as i talked to his mum when he walked past us.

the water felt nice after walking around the school for six hours. i got out when darla knocked on the door.

"hurry up jesse, we dont want to be late!" she sang as she walked away. darla loved me, i was never rude to her and i loved her free-spirit. she was fun to be around. i settled for some white skinny jeans and a dark green tank top with 'nyc' on the front when i made it back to my room. i chucked them on and grabbed my green and black DC's out. i walked into the bathroom again and fixed my hair. fafro walked in after and grabbed his toothbrush.

"fafro, nicky is way to young for you, it's a restraunt anyway." i shrugged at him. he stopped brushing and gave me the 'does it look like i care' face. i rolled my eyes and finished my hair. fafro spat out the toothpaste.

"oh yea, well cody's too big for you squirt!" he snickered, ruffling my hair and running away.

"fafro!" i yelled. i heard him laughing his head off downstairs then darla's pissy tone. i shook my head and fixed my hair, AGAIN.

once i had my hair perfect, i ran downstairs to where dad, darla and fafro were waiting.

"it doesn't take that long does it now jesse?" dad asked impatiently as we walked to darla's hyondi.

"oh leave the boy alone dave, it was fafro's fault!" darla said sternly. dad rolled his eyes and leant down to kiss her. i turned my head and gagged a bit as we got into the car. darla started the engine and we roared off.

"so how was your day fafro?" dad asked.

"same old, same old. i got a girlfriend-"

"for the fiftieth time this year" i mumbled.

"jesse, stop! he's searching for the one he wants to spend the rest of his life with" dad scolded.

"yea, and then we were having some fun, reading some books and jesse comes and starts hitting on her." fafro complained.

"i was minding my own buisness and i saw you and your new slut making out-"

"jesse enough, i didnt ask you!" dad yelled.

"yea, well he's lying!" i argued.

"am not!" fafro yelled.

"OKAY EVERYONE JUST CALM THE HELL DOWN!" darla yelled over the top of us. we all stopped and fafro shot me a dirty look as he turned to the window.

when we got to hog's breath, the jackson's were walking into the restraunt. our family got out quickly and met them at the door.

"hold up! we're here" darla called. the four of them stopped and darla and dad caught up with mr and mrs jackson. cody and fafro shoulder bumped each other while i looked around waiting to go in. i looked at nicky as she walked over to me. she was twelve but acted like she was twenty two.

"hey jesse, what's up?" she squeaked. her voice was really high pitched.

"not much, how's school?" i asked. school was the best conversation starter with littler kids. she shrugged.

"not too bad i guess. cody's just pissing me off now that he got that new girlfriend." she grumbled. cody and nicky used to be the best siblings until cody met fafro. they were like two peas in a pod.

"well, lets get our table fast then!" mrs jackson exclaimed and we followed her inside. we sat at a booth, cody at the end then fafro, nicky, me then the adults on the other side.

"so how are you going jesse?" cody asked, turning to me. fafro hit him and wispered in his ear. cody shoved fafro and turned back to me.

"i'm pretty good, yourself?" i answered. he smiled.

"yea, i'm good, did you hear? i'm not single anymore" he told me.

"yea, fafro told me." i replied. cody did date sluts and all, but he stayed with them for at least a little while unlike fafro. cody'd been single for a while.

"oh, well her name's..." cody talked about her like she was god's gift to the world. maybe she was good for him. they seemed to have a pretty good relationship.

the waiter took our orders and we talked for a little longer until our food came. i could feel my self drooling as i saw the curly fries. yummm... i dug into the steak hungrily, but not too pig-ish. i moaned softly with every curly fry put in my mouth. dad glared at me from across the table and signalled me to zip it. i did.

"so jesse, what classes do you have?" mrs jackson asked me. i swallowed before i opened my mouth so dad didnt hit me upside the head infront of everyone.

"well, my electives are photography, technology and extention english, then i have art, maths, P.E. and pips" i replied.

"well you're an all rounded then aren't you! what about you fafro?" she chuckled in reply before turning to fafro. he looked up from talking to cody at her question.

"hmm?" he asked.

"i asked you what subjects you have this year" she repeated.

"oh, well i have marine studies, sport studies and science as my electives, then i have art, english, P.E. and cooking." he replied.

"cooking did you say? that's interesting!" mrs jackson said, surprise edging her voice. cody and i chuckled and fafro glared at me whilest hitting cody across his head.

the adults talked for about ten more minuted before getting up to pay. fafro and cody said their goodbyes as darla paid for our family. cody leant into fafro as they shoulder bumped and wispered something making fafro blush madly.

hmmm...
