The Boy

"Hey kid? Wake up, you've got school," my dad said.

"Morning to you too, Pops," I replied. I never called him father or daddy or even dad in that matter. It was always Pops.

"Just get up," he said laughing.

"I'm up, I'm up. Calm your tits," I replied with a smile.

I got out of my bed and walked into the bathroom. Wow I looked terrible! My long blonde hair was a rats nest and I had huge bags under bright blue eyes. The baggy t-shirt I wore just covered my boxers so it looked like I had nothing on underneath. I went to the bathroom and headed back to my cave (bedroom).

I combed my rats nest until the blonde tips were straight and touched my butt, as usual. After that hell of a ride, I put denim high wasted shorts on with a baggy sweatshirt. I don't put make up on anymore because I don't have to look pretty for anyone. I have two friends and they don't give a shit what I look like.

"NICK! JESS IS HERE FOR YOU!" I here Pops scream.

"COMIN'!" I yelled back.

I slipped on my black high top converse and grabbed my black leather backpack, then headed down stairs.

"Hey Nick," Jess said happily.

"Hey Jess," I responded.

I walked out the door with Jess saying bye to Pops and headed to her black Toyota. I liked her car, it was cool. My dad wouldn't let me get a car that wasn't a Ford.

I got in the passenger seat and plugged my iPhone into the car. I started playing songs from my R&B playlist really loud just to piss the neighbors off.

"So Nick," Jess said.

Oh god, it's a favor.

"Yes Jess?" I answered.

"So there's this party this Friday...AND I REALLY WANT YOU TO GO! PWEASE!" she screamed at me, almost popping my eardrum.

What did I tell you? Favor.

"Jess you already know my answer to party's. I don't want to be around drunk sweaty people that have sex with random hobos. No, it's gross as hell," I exclaimed.

"But pwease, Nick!" Jess yelled.

"...I'll think about it, but it doesn't mean yes," I said with a pissed look.

"YAY!" she screamed almost popping my eardrum again.

I got out of the car and looked over and there Jess was, making out with her boy friend and my friend, Peter.

Peter was a ginger that stuck out like a sore thumb. Not because of his hair, just his personality...and a little bit of the hair. He was tall and had a bunch of freckles with the same bright blue eyes as me, except his were a bit duller then mine.

"Hey Nick," he said after pulling away from Jess.

"Hey Pete," I replied.

Jess kept looking up at him with a kissey face looking like a toddler wanting "up".

They started making out again so I just started walking off without them.

When I reached the school steps, Alex, the bad boy of the school, was out front talking to the whore of our school, Brittany. I seriously did not sweat the guy. He never bothered me so I didn't really care for him.

But today was different. He looked at me. More like stare at me but he had bright green eyes that were really cute. His body was straight up which made his chest look very attractive. His biceps were pretty big and muscular. Yes he was VERY attractive but I didn't have a crush on him or like him, I'd never talked to him. He was starting at me like he'd never seen me before, which was the case right now since this is the first time he's actually noticed me. I looked at him with a death stare and walked on to my locker.

Jess's locker was about 7 lockers down so I could talk to her at lockers in the morning and in homeroom.

It was Monday May 1 and that meant we got new seats in all classes.

Yes, Alex was in all of my classes but every time we moved seats, he was never next to me or around me.

"Hey Nick, what do you have first?" Jess came up behind me and asked.

"Jess, I have the same schedule everyday and yet you still ask this question everyday." I said in a "your an idiot" tone.

"I have a very bad memory, yet you still criticize me," she said defending herself.

"I have History first," I answered her question from before.

"Ok!" she boomed into the hallways.

We walked into home room and of corse, she runs to Peter and starts kissing him like a mad woman.

I walk over to my seat and start playing on my phone. I went on Vine and started watching funny clips until the morning news came on.

"...please stand for the Pledge of Elegance..." the girl said.

I never do the Pledge of Elegance, even though I want to go into the Air Force when I'm older. It just seems boring and ever since I was in first grade, I never did it. I never stand for the moment of silence either.

When they all sat down, I looked at Jess and she snuck over with Peter to sit next to me. All of us talked and when they said to go to period 1, I put my phone away and headed towards History.
