Cryan: Denial

Him?

Chris's POV:

I woke with the sound of my alarm. I smashed my hand on it. Why is that stupid alarm on. My mom slightly opened the door and peeked her head through.

"Rise and shine Honey, its the first day of your sophomore year in highschool,you wouldn't want to be late" she said a little excited. Then it hit me, it was the first day of school. Ugh, why does that have to be today I just want to sleep.

"Good morning" I said groggily

"I'll be down stairs finishing breakfast" she said as she closed the door. I sat up on my bed and sighed, "Another year of misery I guess".

I got up and brushed my teeth, fixed my hair,and put on my uniform. I looked at myself in the mirror and cracked a smile. Terrible as always.

Once I was done getting ready, I walked down stairs to see my brother, Elijah, sitting at the table and my mom cleaning the counter.

"Oh hey baby brother, did you sleep well?" Elijah asked. This is my older brother Elijah who is a flirt, straight A student, and most of all annoying.

"I slept well, thank you" I said in a cranky tone.

"Well", my mom said, "school starts in 20 minutes so you two should get going".

"Have an awesome first day guys!". "We will mom, bye!" Eli said as we walked out the door.

We moved to Westrock last year. I don't know why we had to move, we were perfectly fine in the last place but, Mom had to get new job so we were just moving closer to it. I'm also kinda sad because I had leave all of my childhood friends behind.

Mom also decided that it would be a good idea to move somewhere close to the school.

My brother and I just were walking to the school in silence. Great, now I don't have to hear his stupid voice be at peace.

"So are you excited about the first day of your sophomore year of highschool", Eli said breaking the silence. Ugh, why meeee.

"Not one bit" I responded angrily.

"Aww, cheer up baby bro, what's there to be grumpy about?".

"Life" I said under my breath.

"What was that baby bro?" he asked.

"Don't call me that" I mumbled again.

"What?" he said confused. As we were approaching the school, I sped ahead not wanting to be seen with him.

"Okay​" Eli said still confused.

I walked up the steps to the school to see a bronze statue of some old dude and a bunch of kids outside the giant school doors.

"Oh, hey Chris!" I growled at sound of that voice. It was the one kid I didn't want to see, Sean Valentine, only the most annoying kid in the school. Then I saw a kid walking with him.

Who's that? "Nice to see that your grumpy as always but, I'm not here to annoy you".

"Then why are you talking to me" I responded in an unenthusiastic tone.

"This is Bryan, he's new so I wanted to show him around".

"Hey" Bryan said awkwardly seeing that I wasn't even looking his way.

"Nice to meet you" I said looking at Bryan and shaking his hand

"I hope we could be friends".

I walk off into the open doors thinking about what just happened, about him. What even was that........
