Who Would've Thought?

6. Declan

"Declan."

Something poked my side.

"Oi, Declan!"

"Rio, shut the fuck up and let me sleep," I mumbled.

I shouldn't have let him stay over last night.

"Go back to your mattress."

He sighed, "I don't why you just won't let me sleep in your bed with you. The bed is big enough for us both."

I rolled over to face him. "No it's not, it's just s single bed and it gets so hot in my room. Plus you can be annoying in your sleep."

"What, how?"

"Because you have a stupid sleeping face." I insulted him.

He hit me in the face with a spare pillow.

It's too early in the morning for this. I rolled over again, so I wasn't facing him anymore.

"Declan," he drawled out my name. "We have school."

I groaned. "Do you think I care?"

"Well, I care. I like going to school cause get to socialise with other people besides your fat, grumpy ass," He muttered.

"You love my fat, grumpy ass." I smacked it.

Rio laughed. "Yeah, sure. Get up."

He has a nice smile, I suddenly thought.

"Declan!"

"Mate, I swear to Go- okay, fine."

I trailed after Rio as we exited my room to go to the kitchen.

The house was such a mess. I was almost embarrassed about it.

"Declan, honey, there is no cereal left. I'm just gonna give you and Rio some money to buy something on the way to school," My mum said.

It had been almost a week since last week's game and Rio's Saturday detention.

"Okay." I nodded.

"Sweet, we are so stopping at Macca's," Rio announced.

I had no problem with that.

I sat in the back of the class watching Rio who was two seats in front of me helplessly flirting with Eyelet.

We had a seating plan in the class. How ironic that they are placed together.

"Dude, I can't tell if it's you or that pencil that's gonna snap," Chris said.

I put the pencil that I had gripped tightly in my hand down.

I turned to him slowly and rolled my eyes.

"What's got you so peeved?"

"Nothin'. Just hate history."
