The Preppy and the Tramp (BoyxBoy)

Chapter 11

"Growth is painful. Change is painful. But nothing is as painful as staying stuck somewhere you don't belong." ~Mandy Hale

"Oh my fucking god!" A high pitched voice screamed causing me to fall off my bed, which was the couch, but I mean. It is what it is.

"What the hell?" I grumbled and pushed my hair back. Roger ran into the room and looked around. His eyes wide and hair a mess.

"Was that you?" Roger asked coming to my side. I looked at him with a raised eyebrow, still feeling grumpy since I only had like five hours of sleep.

"How in the world could that have been me? My voice doesn't even go that high since like the third grade." I mumbled and stood up, all my bones cracked in sync, that feels so good. "Was that you?"

"Why would be asking you, if it wasn't you, if it wasn't me?" Roger asked taking my hand and pulled me to Cecilia's room. She stood by the window, for a split second I thought she might have been shot. But instead she jumped around and pointed to the window.

"What?" I asked rubbing my eyes. Cecilia jumped around us, pushing up to the window. Tears were running down her face.

"It's finally snowing!" She screamed, clipping on her bra and put on two extra layers of pants. "It's snowing! I don't know how, but it is!"

"Isn't it like November?" I asked confused on how it could be snowing. She shrugged and snapped on her boots, her hair was tangled and wild looking.

"It doesn't matter! It's snowing! And we don't have a heater but it's snowing! Let's make the most out of it, because lord knows that global warming is killing this planet and who knows when it's going to snow again." She rambled out and pulled us into Roger's room. Cecilia pulled out a few of Rogers clothes and threw it at us. "Put it on."

"Why?" I asked taking two of the shirts and one of the pants, putting it over my pj pants.

"Because our life has been crap and it's snowing, so we're like not adults yet and like you're gonna have to be gone in a couple of days and we don't want to think about all this real stuff going on, so let's just have fun and be kids. Well, I mean we are kids and everything-"

"So you woke us up at 5:30 in the morning on the weekend, when I have to work at 7, and worked until 4 am, all to play in the fucking snow?" Roger asked, his voice sounded like he wanted to kill his sister. But instead his dangerously serious face turned into a smile. "Let's go! Come on Acendro!"

I sighed and put on one of Roger's spare boots, not wanting to think about how it's snowing and I'll have to be living out in the snow for who knows how long, no. I can't think about this.

"Okay." I said knowing it sounded weak but I ran outside, throwing on another layer before anybody could ask any questions. The snow felt cold, everything felt cold. But at the same time, it felt refreshing.

I felt a snowball hit my back, causing my hair to fall over my shoulders. I laughed and quickly made a snowball, throwing it back at my attacker.

Roger took the bullet for his sister but immediately threw her to the floor. Cecilia screamed and ran after Roger, who came running at me. I let out a yell and ran away rom him, knowing he was just going to throw me into the snow.

I made a snowball ball and threw it back at him but roger was quick and picked me up, swinging me around. My heart felt light as my body went up in the air.

"Roger! Put me down!" I remembered for a second that we've kissed before but didn't think much of it. Or Elvis. Definitely nothing about him. "Roger! Let go!"

Cecilia laughed and took the time to throw snowfalls at my face. I yelled and thrashed around in his arms.

"Cecilia! You're suppose to be my friend." I laughed and felt my stomach grow tight from laughing to much. I heard somebody clear their voice from behind us, Roger turned us around and yelled when he saw it was one of the gang bangers.

They all filed in afterwards.

"Snowball fight!" Gilbert yelled. Roger dropped me to fend for himself. The boys all set their weapons aside and joined the fight.

I couldn't remember the last time I actually played in the snow. I can't remember the last time I've had this warm feeling in my heart and all over my body.

I didn't care about how cold it was to be outside or how I was going to resume my status as homeless in less than a week or how my mental state is absolute shit because all of the stuff that has happened to me or even about Elvis fucking Wolf or whatever his name is or even about the gang violence going on with the Tigres or whatever their gang name is.

All that mattered right now is Roger and Cecilia and how right now they are my family. With a group of warriors surrounding them, the gang.

He didn't even care about how right now, after their snowball fight and a nice dinner, the gang was gone leaving just them.

About how Roger and Cecilia's parents walked in with angry expressions on their faces. Cecilia walked in front of me to protect me from her parents. It was going to be a few more hours until Roger got back and the boys wouldn't dare walk in without Roger here.

"Get out! Get the hell out of my house you street dog!"
