Of Shattered Hearts And Broken Glass

Chapter 4

I woke to my phone, already making noise. I lean over to look at the screen "07:45", fuck.

I shot out of bed, did my hair, jumped into black vans and a black jean before throwing a shirt of the same colour on, which slightly messed up my hair, although I didn't care today. My hair can look like a thousand monkey's asses, principle Lawson will most likely drag me through all of them if I was late. Peering down at my Apple smartwatch "7:51".

I jumped into the car and sped out of the driveway, almost driving through the slow moving double gates. I sped to school and hastily parked, jumped out of the car and jolted towards-

THWACK!!

Ran into a solid wall, no wait... it has arms.. it has arms.. fuck, not again! I jump to my feet and saw a dizzy dark haired beauty with a lesbian haircut, wait... no boobs, it's a guy -fuck, I just called a guy a beauty. The attraction didn't fade after I made my discovery. In fact, if I hadn't known of better, I'd say that it even intensified. No time for that now. I help the beaut.. uhm, guy up, de Luca again -man!! I gotta stop this- I briefly mumble an apology and run off, again.

Mental note: take time to properly apologise.

After a minute uncomfortable running caused by the sore leg I got from the collision, I finally reached Josh and my other friends.

"So, dude, I hear you're throwing a party on Saturday?" Lloyd asked excitedly.

"Yeah, open house." I replied with a smile.

"Did you just say open house? Does that mean that we will be at the same party as poor people?", Damian spat, disgusted.

"ga-ROSS!! They'll rub off on us and we'll like start buying cheap clothes or something." Stacey added.

"Guys, I will become prom queen and that is what the party is for. Also, each of you will attend."

"Or what? Damian pushed his chest out and made himself tall.

"Or the whole school will have to find out about what your dad does to you when he's drunk and feels affectionate" she gave an evil grin while making an "o" with her one hand and pushing the index finger of her other hand through it and added calmly, "I have ways of persuading all of you, so try me." before walking away.

"Dude, your girl is such a..." Lloyd started, but saw his girl, Megan, glaring at him "such a.. nevermind."

The bell rang and we were off to class. Kyle and I walked to business class together.

"Dude, I don't know how to say this" Kyle said while looking down, his blonde fringe covering his face as it hung over his forehead.

"Say what?" I asked out of curiosity.

"Uhm.. Tracey."

"Yeah, what about her?"

"I'm only saying this cuz you're a good friend. Tracey is always so bitchy towards you, she's always mean with you and you just stand there and take it." He spoke fast, nervously.

"It's okay, it doesn't bother me." I lied and he heard it in my voice.

"You and I both know that's not true, besides, not relationship is supposed to be like that. There is no mutual love. It's slavery." I could see the care in his eyes. For the first time I realised how attractive those two green orbs where.. wait, what? Probably just cuz he is a good friend...
