-Ethan's POV-

I woke up to a sock being thrown at my face and my alarm clock blaring loudly.

"Eric, what the f-"

"Hurry the fuck up, Ethan! We got to get to school," he replied in an excited tone. He was wearing a red hoodie with black jeans and his Adidas in hand. He had dressed up fancy today.

"Why are you dressed not normally?"

"It's for V-...my girlfriend," his neck reddened a bit.

I snickered at him and threw the sock back at him.

"Get out of my room."

He rolled his eyes and left.

I got up to take a shower. I locked the door because you never know if some psychopathic murderer would sneak in dressed as his mother and kill me.

You can thank the movie Psycho for giving me nightmares.

I turned on the hot water and thought about what I was gonna wear. My hoodie for sure, maybe a black shirt and light blue jeans? Yeah, that sounded good with my Converse.

I stepped in and bathed quickly.

Once I was out, I put on my black shirt, some blue jeans and my converse.

Can't forget the hoodie, it has my favorite album on it, Collide with the Sky.

I brushed my hair a bit and put on my nose ring. Yes, my school allowed piercings as long as they weren't gauges or weirdly placed piercings.

I smiled at myself in the mirror as I brushed my teeth and finally applied cologne which I almost never did.

Gotta look nice for Val.

As I walked to the kitchen, phone and earbuds in pocket, I wondered if I got another text from her.

Oh no, what if she decided to cancel on me? We are supposed to hang out today, after all.

"Hey mom," I said as I sat down at the table.

"Yeah, sweetie?"

"Can I bring someone over to hang out with them?"

She contemplated it for a moment and smiled,"Of course you can, honey. Who are you bringing?"

"Just a friend I made yesterday...her name is Val..."

I was met with my mother's wide eyes.

"A girl?"

I nodded, hoping she was okay with it.

"Well...I guess it's okay...Eric has practice and I'm coming home early so...yeah sure honey," she smiled at me.

Yes! Val was coming over!

"Thanks mom, you're the best!" I kissed her cheek as Eric entered. A strong scent of Axe was washed into the room and I immediately coughed.

"Dude, did you apply half the can?"

He smiled,"I'm gonna stay nice for Va-," he paused mid-sentence,"...my girlfriend."

"Oh that's nice dear," my mom responded,"Ethan is having a guest over so I suggest you clean your room in case she happens to glance in."

I swear to god, Eric's right eye twitched a little.

"Guest? Who is this guest?"

"Oh, you didn't know? He's bringing over a friend from school, what was her name dear?"

My voice was shaky as I said her name,"Val..."

He glared at me and said a simple "okay".

As I grabbed a slice of bread to put into the toaster, I heard Eric come up behind me,"Can we talk in the living room?"

I nodded,"Okay, but if it's about Val coming over, I'm shoving that sock you threw at me into your mouth."

He walked over to the living room, as if he didn't notice what I said,"Why is Val coming over?"

Where's the damn sock when you need it?

"We're just gonna hang out, okay?"

"But I don't trust you..."

I rolled my eyes at his statement,"You don't trust me? A virgin? A shy virgin that doesn't even expose his arms, much less his junk...I can't trust you around her!"

His eyes widened,"Why not?"

"First of all, you've slept with more than half the girls at school, gotten most of them pregnant, continuously go out to parties, cheat on your girlfriend by even thinking of Val like that. And yet, I'm the one that's not trusting?"

He looked down in shame as my words sank in to him,"You're right, but I can change!"

"Dude, you're tripping major ballsack right now if you think Val would ever be interested in you."

He stood up and left, his own immature way of saying he won this argument, which he didn't.

-at school-

I got off the car with my earphones in ear, and my backpack over my shoulder.

"Bye darlings! I love you!" I heard my mom call out to us.

"We love you too, mom," Eric and I said in unison.

I saw her smile before she drove away.

"Ethan!" I heard someone yell in back of me.

I turned around and found Val, beautiful Val as she walked over to me. Me

She was wearing a We Came as Romans crop top with high waisted leather black pants, a leather jacket, combat boots, and a thick choker around her neck. Her makeup was beautifully applied, black eyelids and burgundy lipstick.

"So, did you tell your mom about today?"

I nodded and smiled, she made a cute face when she was excited,"Hell yeah! I'm gonna hang out with my best friend!"

I chuckled as she grabbed my hand and ran inside.

Her hand was warm and soft, and she was gentle.

This girl is making me lose control.

We walked to the table and sat down where we talked about what we are gonna do at my house, definitely fangirl about the Heaven Upside Down album that's Marilyn Manson came out with recently.

I was just beginning to tell her to bring pajamas cause we were just staying at the house, but the bell rang.

She nodded anyways as she made her way to Social Studies, which I knew she had with Eric.

Someone please, don't let anything happen to her while she's there.
