Twisted love

Chapter 3

Do you ever feel the need to murder something that isn't alive? Well that's how I'm feeling right now with my alarm clock. It only has one volume setting which just so happens to sound like the damn purge siren and doesn't turn off unless you hit it really hard.

I smacked my hand down on the death box shutting it up before sitting up in my bed. I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes sitting in bed for a few moments. I regrettably took the warm blanket off my body feeling the cold air hit me like a brick.

My feet pattered across the hardwood floor to Max's room. I opened his door lazily and picked up a stray teddy bear. I threw the bear at Max causing him to jump awake.

"What the heck Con?!" He yelled loudly

"Get up we have school today" I told him as I left the room

He jolted out of bed and ran down the stairs pushing me in the process.

"Watch it Max" I scolded

"Sorry, I'm just super excited about going to a new school!" He said shoving a banana in his mouth

I took a seat next to him and plopped my head on the counter.

"How can you be excited about school? When I was your age I was excited about getting a new video game"

"If I go to school that means I am one step closer to finding my soulmate which means I can finally see in colour which means I can be an actual artist!" He said excitingly

My eyes widened in surprise and grabbed an apple from the basket. I ruffled his curly locks with a smile on my face. I walked back up the stairs as I took a bite with every step. By the time I made it to my room my apple was done.

Walking inside my room I tumbled through my drawers looking for something to wear. I settled for a simple pair of skinny jeans with a white t-shirt. I slipped into my clothes the. Made my way to the bathroom only to get interrupted by a pencil being thrown at my window. I slid it opened and seen Yazzie's face.

"Morning princess, Dylan's gonna be here in 5 minutes so come over when your ready" she told me

I nodded in response and made my way to the washroom. I brushed my teeth quickly before heading over to Max's room. He was in the middle of putting on his shirt.

"Hurry up slowpoke we're heading next door Yazzie is going to give us a ride since Riley is going to the same school as you" I told him watching his face flush at the mention of Riley

I smirked at his red face and left his room chuckling to myself. I walked down the stairs towards the living room grabbing my bag along with Max's.

I shoved my feet in my shoes. Max ran down the stairs almost falling right on his face. After putting his shoes on we walked over to Yazzie's house. I saw Yazzie sitting on her doorstep with Riley next to her. Max ran up to them and sat next to the younger Sharman.

"H-hi Riley" he stuttered out with a blush on his face

"Hey Max" she said with a close eyed smile

After their short interaction I seen a red car pull into the driveway

"Dylan's here!" Yazzie said excitingly as she ran over to the car

"Hey babe, who those two?" Dylan asked curiously

"Oh yeah, Dylan these are my neighbours Connor and Max. Connor and Max this is my boyfriend and soulmate Dylan" she said introducing us

"Hi nice to meet you" max said kindly

"You too. Now hop in we don't have much time" he said with a soft smile

We all got into the car. Yazzie in the front seat, me on the left, Riley in the middle and finally Max in the right. After the quick drive to the elementary school Max and Riley got out.
