Toxic. (Ethan Dolan.)

Part 14 - Unexpected Guest

I was at my locker grabbing shit out like always. It was a boring day. I had English last period. The bell had went and I shut my locker quickly, putting my bag over my shoulders.

"Hey." I hear a voice behind me.

I turn around and I see Ethan with his hands in his pockets.

"Hey." I reply.

"We studying after school?"

I shake my head. "Sorry, not today. I have a family dinner."

Ethan rolled his eyes. "But my exam is next week. Cancel."

I stop in my tracks and give him a dirty look.

"No. What the hell?"

"Well I need the help."

"Ill give you the help. Just not tonight."

Ethan scoffed. "Whatever."

"You don't have to be a dick about it."

He laughed. "Fine. We'll study tomorrow."

"We won't he if you carry on being a dickhead."

Ethan laughed again. "Id be lying if I said I wasn't digging the confidence."

I roll my eyes and push him playfully.

"E. What the fuck are you doing?" We hear a voice from down the hall.

Ethan and I both look back and we see Grayson and the rest of his friends. Ethan slapped the books out of my hands causing him to scatter all over the floor. It caused Grayson and the rest to laugh. Ethan didn't take another look at me. He quickly jogged down the hall to his friends. I roll my eyes picking up the books off the ground.

It was last period and Ethan didn't end up coming to class. I sat there bored out of mind. While Megan and her friends kept looking over at me. I try to ignore there stares.

The lesson ended and while I was making my way out I was stopped by Ethan's horrible girlfriend and the rest of her minions.

"How's my boyfriend?" She asked.

"I don't know? He's your boyfriend." I push pass her and I heard them following me.

"You know what's weird Kendall?"

I ignored her as I keep walking. But then she grabs me by the wrist.

"Ill tell you what's weird." She smiled evilly. "Ever since my boyfriend started this tutoring or studying whatever you would like to call it. He seems to be ignoring my messages and I haven't hung out with him in a while."

"What has this got to do with me?"

"You're so fucking stupid." Megan scoffed rolling her eyes. "Have you been hooking up with my boyfriend."

I frown and shake my head. "No way."

"Good." She says. "Keep it that way."

With that she turned around with the rest of her friends and left.

When I got home my mom was making dinner and my dad was setting up the table.

"You're home late." My dad states as if I didn't know.

"Yeah, I got held back."

"I would have thought you were tutoring Ethan tonight."

I take a seat at the kitchen bench and placing my bag on the ground. "Na, i told him not tonight because of the dinner."

"You should have brought him." My mom smiled. "Im sure the family would love to meet him."

"Meet who? The kid I tutor? We're not friends mom."

My dad laughed. "More than friends?"

I roll my eyes playfully. "Stop."

I hear a door knock and I get out of my seat. "They're early."

When I open the door I expected to see my Aunt and my uncle and there kids. But. Instead I am faced with Ethan.

"What are you doing here?"

"Oh Ethan, glad you could make it." My dad says from the kitchen holding in his laughter.

I close the door on Ethan. "You brought him here?"

"Kendall, did you just slam the door on Ethan?"

"YOU BROUGHT HIM HERE FOR DINNER?" I yell in disbelief.

My dad couldn't stop laughing and I poke the finger at him playfully. "You're a dick." I say.

I open the door again and Ethan stood there with that smile of his.

"Come in." I say.

"Hello Ms and Mr Stone." He greets. What a suck up.

My mom smiles at him. "How are you?"

"I was good until the door got slammed into my face."

My mom gave me a glare and I smile at her causing her to roll her eyes.

"Uh, lets go to my room." I say leading him upstairs.

When I get to my room I slam the door shut.

"What do you think you're doing here?"

Ethan takes off his jean jacket and throws it on the ground. He was wearing black jeans with cuts at the knees and a white jersey.

"Not a very nice welcome Stone." He smirks.

"Tell me why you're here."

Ethan looks in my mirror fixing his hair. "Your dad called me up about this dinner. Good to know that you weren't lying and that you actually did have plans with family."

"And why would I lie about that?"

"Why wouldn't you?"

Ethan grabbed my laptop and started to play music quietly. He played I Fall Apart by Post Malone. He placed the computer on my desk as the music poured into my room. He sat back and closed his eyes.

"What are-"

"Just listen." He says with his eyes still closed. "Its so good."

"Why are-"

"I said listen." He demands standing up and coming toward me.

He put his hands in mine and places them on his shoulders. He then placed his hands on my hips. Ethan stared at me. And I stared back.

"Another cliche." I whisper.

"It's just a dance Stone-"

"Don't think anything of it." I cut him off, finishing his sentence.

Ethan laughed and brought me closer to him.

"So what then?" I speak over the music. "Tonight we act like friends, then tomorrow you'll be pushing me around?"

"That's exactly how it goes."

I wanted to tell Ethan about Megan, but I decided not to. I knew he would get mad and would probably storm out of the house and not speak to me for a few days. You know, like he always did.
