Declan

'Hey Mat....' Declan called as I stepped into the house.
'You know I've been thinking, its high time we buried your dad'... Don't you think so?No. Deck my dad would love to be present for the burial.
Yeah I know but what if your mom never wakes up.. I mean its been a week now ...

'Never wake up!!!!! I said in a shock.
How could you say that?.
You're not giving up on my mom right?

'No I'm not Mat, I'm just suggesting'. He said
No you're giving up on my mom and that is what I'd never do.
'Do you even think of what you're going to tell Jojo?.. I'm having a hard time looking at my brother because its hard telling a little boy that his dad is dead'. So please Deck let this rest okay?. I said

I walked into my room and slammed the door. I picked up our family picture and cried.
It felt like something was burning inside of me... I mean burying my mom was as if I was forgetting about her which I don't want.. I just want to keep thinking she's still not in town and she won't be coming back soon.
Ah. I threw the picture frame to the wall.. I hate this life, everything as I kept crying and soon slept off.

It was quarter to seven, gosh I'm late...
I hurried, freshened up and then ran downstairs with my keys.
'Mat..Matilda!!. Declan called.
'What again deck I already said no good bye'.

'Hey mat.. You don't looks so good, tell me what happened?'
Deck wants a funeral and I don't think that's a good idea besides I don't even know what I'm going to say to Jojo.
And you know what?........

'Hey girls...'
Hey blonde boy what's up?. Carsley said?
'He stared at her and said the name is Luke you know'.
' I don't care' Carsley said.

I stunned and walked away.....
Mat.. Mat are you okay? She said running after me.

No am not Cars. ..I'm not, I'm tired of everything I don't even know what to do exactly.
It sucks being an orphan cars...
'Don't say that Mat' Carsley said.
I hate you being this way... And calm down. I'm still here you know?.

'Hey Adams..'Carsley said.
Yeah Carsley how are you?
'Mat are you fine?'
I'm okay... I'm just not in this atmosphere right now... Cars I'll talk to you later.

What's up with her? Adams asked.
Family issues.
Oh... Can I talk to her?
'Yeah sure' Carsley said.
'Mat'..Adams called.
What do you want? I asked.
What I want is for you to be fine and that's exactly what Carsley wants too.. Right Carsley?

'Yup we both want you to be happy' she said hugging me.
'Oh no.. I don't get any hug again?..Its so not fair' he said.
Okay okay. I said hugging him.
And then he pecked me.

Yuck...... I said.
What!!! Not as if you didn't like it. He said.
Oh no I didn't..
'You guys look good together'. Carsley said.
Yeah you see Mat we look good together...
'Forget it Adams.. Its so not happening'... I said.
Alright one day you'll realise I'm good for you... Adams said.
'Maybe..' I said.

And then we walked to class.. Settled down together before class started.

'Hey Adams'..Luke said.
'Yeah Luke .. What's up?'
I'm fine except your girlfriends here won't stop calling me blonde boy..
This time I and Carsley laughed really loud.
'Look blonde boy Adams is not our boyfriend okay'. Carsley said.
'But I have a name '..Luke said
'Whatever'.. I said.

While we were still discussing the professor came in..
He was teaching while Carsley and Luke kept arguing on the blonde name.

To be honest, Luke's voice was really loud and he got himself into a big mess.

'Hey blonde boy'.. The professor called.
Then we all laughed.
'I have a name sir.. Its Luke'
Okay Luke attempt my question ..
Sorry sir but I didn't quite get your question..Luke said.
Well that is because you were too busy discussing with someone else
What is the grammatical name for..
'The sweet shining sun'? The professor asked.

Well its......... He looks at Adams and then me as if the answer was written on my face...
'Alliteration..' I said whispering to him.

The grammatical name is Alliteration sir.. He said so confidently and everyone applauded him apart from the three if us.

After the class...
'Hey mat..Tanks for what you did?' Luke said.
You're welcome blonde boy.. You know my best friend got brains.. Carsley said.

I have a name remember?...
Oh ..Luke.. Oops.
And then we all laughed.
'You know Luke you can tag along' I said.
'You don't mean it?'..
Oh no. Mat I so hate blonde boys. Carsley said.

'But I love them...' I said.
Adams starred at me just as I said this.
Someone is jealous.. Carsley teased.
Not me.. He said.
She doesn't love you too bad for you.
So Luke where do you live?
Oh peng estate.
Cool that's where we live too. Block?..
Block 8..
Oh that's not far from where I stay.. Carsley said..

Okay Drama over see you boys tomorrow.. Mat let's get going ....
