Girl Or Boy?

5: FRICK FRACK CHEESE ON CRACKERS

Rolling over, I turn my alarm off and groan. I get up and do my morning routine of showering and such.

I change into green skinny jeans and a Legend of Zelda shirt with Link on it. I grab my black knitted beanie to protect my ears from the late fall weather.

Hopping on one foot and pulling on my all black Converse hi-tops, I grab my stuff and go downstairs. I walk into the kitchen and I'm met with a half naked Damon standing behind some blonde chick, whose wearing only a long t-shirt, kissing her neck.

"Erm..." I clear my throat.

They jump and Damon sighs. I raise an eyebrow and pop my hip out in a sassy way.

His face turns a light pink.

"Morning, Tea." He brushes it off and ruffles my hair as he passes me to get to the fridge.

"Uh huh... morning, Damon. Care to introduce us?" My arms crossed. He sighs again.

"Jade, Teagan. Teagan, Jade."

I smile/smirk. "Hi and good morning, Jade." She smiles shyly.

"Hey, and good morning to you too, Teagan. "

Still smirking, I grab a couple of cereal bars and an apple and turn to leave the kitchen.

"Don't forget to use protection. I'm not ready to be an aunt yet." I call back without looking back.

"Damn it, Teagan!" I hear my brother tell as I walk out the front door.

I chuckle as I walk over to my car and I see the famous Gunner Wilder getting into his car. He glances at me for a second then shakes his head and continues to back out of his driveway and leave. I break out of my trance and get in my car and make the journey to school.

I sing and dance to Panic! At The Disco as I drive to school. Once I get there, I park my car and grab my backpack before leaving the car.

I sling a strap over my shoulder and go into the school and to my locker. As I shut my locker, I let out a yelp.

I place a hand I've my heart and give the person a look. "Thanks for scaring the life outta me, Lars. You're a great friend." He rolls his eyes.

"I know right?" He says, slinging an arm over my shoulders. I raise an eyebrow at him and continue me way to class. I shake my head and shrug his arm off my shoulders and walk into class.

~{*~*}~

"Psssst. Pssssssst. Psssssssssst!" I hear Lars as he pokes me as we listen to our second block teacher lecture us and basically tells us that we're stupid.

Turning around, I grab his finger and bend it back, all the while hissing,"What?"

He yanks his finger from my grasp and saying, "Jeez, woman... I was just gonna ask if you wanted to come over after school and play some video games. "

"We'll see. I have things to do after school, so maybe afterwards." I reply, thinking about tonight's gym session with some MMA coaches. What can I say, after that incident, I needed to learn how to defend myself and somehow fell in love with the power I hold over someone while fighting them. And it was just overall fun.

Lars nods in understanding.

~{º~º}~

The day passed in a blur and before I know it, I'm driving home to get my gym clothes and such. I play the air drums while I wait at a red light to Eye of the Tiger. Right before the light turns green, I look over and see Mr. Jerkface, aka Gunner, right beside me watching me through the windows separating us. I shrug and when the light turns green, I press the gas and speed off.

I get home and run upstairs to my room and grab my stuff and change quickly. I run back down to the kitchen and grab a water bottle from the fridge.

"Where are you going, Tea?" I jump at the sound of Damon's voice.

I spin around and give him a raised eyebrow look. "I'm going to the gym. Bo's MMA friends are in town and they're gonna help me train for the next fight that the gym set up for me." He shakes his head.

"Alright, Teagan... just be careful coming home..." He turns and leave the kitchen. As I walk to the front door, my phone beeps, signalling a text.

Ricky: Got another drive for you. Be at 130 Rhodendendren Lane at 10:30 pm. They'll be outside waiting for you.

Me: Alrighty.

I sigh and go back upstairs and grab my stuff. I finally make my way to my car.

《¤-¤》

Out of breath, I unwrap my hands and take off my sweaty clothes before getting into the gym shower. I rinse really quick and jump out. I've got 10 minutes before I have to pick up the client. I shrug on my clean clothes; baggy sweatpants and a hoodie. I quickly pull on my Converse and take a beanie from my backpack before pulling that over my black hair.

I speed walk to my car and go as fast as legally as possible to my destination. I pull up to the house. It's a basic small farm house that you would typically see around here. A lone figure pushes itself from the front step and walks to my car. I clear my throat and, surprise surprise, Gunner gets into the back.

"Haven't you picked me up before? You look familiar..." He questions me.

I clear my throat and keep facing forward. If he can't see my face then he won't know who I am.

"Uh, yeah. I've picked you up before. Why do you need picked up anyway? Don't you have your own car?" I ask in a forced deep voice.

He scoffs, "Nah, my dad took my car and my motorcyle away cuz of my grades... like I give a shit..."

"Hmm..." I hum, nodding.

After a bit, I break the uncomfortable silence, "Am I dropping you off at the place I dropped you last time?"

I look into the rear view mirror and see him nodding.

"Yeah." I hear him answer. I look back to the road and see a stopped car that has suddenly braked. I slam my foot onto my brakes and the let out a squeal.

"FRICK FRACK CHEESE ON CRACKERS!" I yell as Gunner and I are pitched forward. Crap... I forgot about making my voice deep... frick...

I sit and wait for the car in front of me to start moving again. After a couple seconds, I unbuckle my seat belt and get out of the car grumbling. At this point, I don't care if he hears me...

"Freaking people and their freaking idiocy..." I say grumbling as I stomp my way to the driver's window. I hear Gunner get out of the car and run after me.

I knock on the window. "Hey, dickface! What the heck was that?!" I yell as the window is slowly rolled down.

"Is that how you talk to your favorite cousin?" My cousin Jesse says with a smirk.

I growl. "Fuck off, Jesse." I stomp off to the car, Gunner follows.

I slam the door shut and start the car as Gunner closes his.

"I have a question."

"Ight." I say, not even trying anymore.

"Why do you have such a girly voice sometimes?" I roll my eyes.

"I don't know, dude. Just happens." I deepen my voice. I drop him off and get home. I immediately go to my room and stripout of my clothes and into a long t-shirt.
