Khalil's P.O.V
I woke up from my nap when I heard a knock in my door. I sat up and opened the door, I saw Thomas with his worried look in his face, but underneath them, I can still the rage he's hiding.
"Khali you okay?" He asked
"Yeah m'fine." I voiced out, and nodded.
"I took your car in a car wash and have it cleaned for you too use it tomorrow."
"T-Thanks Tom. Tell Aunt Beth I won't be eating dinner. See you tomorrow." I said while climbing in my bed
"Are you sure? I can get you food."
"I'm fine. Just go."
"Okay. Goodnight Khali." He said while closing my door. Once I heard the door click, I grab my sketch pad and a pencil. That's one thing I'm never going to forget, how my Mom thought me how to draw. And now, I can say i'm good at it. No one knows my talent, and I haven't decided to tell Tom and Aunt Beth. Drawing is my comfort zone and privacy.
I've been drawing for hours, after a couple of hours, I looked at my drawing; It was a portrait of my Mom. His brown hair, icy blue eyes, perfect lips and dimples. I sighed, remembering the old days, I looked at my phone and saw that it was 3am. I didn't think I could sleep now, so I just stayed like that, completing my drawing and waiting for the sun to rise.
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
I pushed the off button since I'm not in a hurry. I took a warm shower and pulled out a dark green hoodie and washed jeans, neon green Vans and sprayed my cologne. Before I walk downstairs I put on my grey beanie and let my bangs in my head. After that, I popped some toast and fryed eggs for breakfast. I sat there quietly eating my breakfast, It was early so Aunt Beth and Thomas wasn't awake yet. So instead of waking them up, I decided to go to school early.
I parked my car and got out, I was headed to the lockers when I noticed that a guy was staring at me intensely. I can still see his gaze into mine even though he was wearing aviators. I raised an eyebrow and walk to my lockers to get my books, I slammed it shut and saw the same guy beside me, I jumped in shock.
"What the?" I asked
He just chuckled and said; "Hi, I'm Matt. You are?" He said with a British accent. Ah, I just love accents especially on guys!
"Khalil. Khalil Nicholas, are you new?"
"Yep. I saw you walking like you own this school so I got curious."
"Curiousity killed the cat." I retorted.
"Thank god I'm not a cat." He said with a smirk.
"Touché. So what is it that you want?"
"Em... I-I just.. I was wondering if you can tour me around since I'm new?"
"Sure"
"Great, are you ready?" He asked, I nodded and walk with him, I took him in every place I know as of now, because I'm still new. We were headed to the fields when I saw Cameron, Kyle and Lennon leaning in the school wall. Kyle and Lennon smirked at me while Cameron glared at Matt. To be honest, I didn't think it was just a glare, if looks can kill I can tell Matt would be dead by now. But me being me, I just shrug it off and walk with Matt chatting animatedly, Matt was a good guy so we hit it off easily. I put my hands in my pocket while Matt and I were walking to my classroom, turns out we had the same classes except for 4th period.
He suddenly asked; "Did you see how the guy looked at me?"
"Who?"
"The one who was leaning on the school walls in the fields. I can sense he was beyond mad, he glared at me like ready to charge asap."
"Oh that, don't mind it. Those boys are the school's star players so it's normal if they treat you like that because you're new."
"Ah. Okay. Can I ask you something personal?"
"Uh- sure."
"Are you a girl or a boy?" He said nervously that I might get offended, but I just laughed
"By heart then yes I'm a woman, but by physical aspects, I'm a guy. Why do you ask?"
"Nothing. But don't you think it would be better if you are a girl in heart and as well as physical aspects?"
I hesitated before i answered, knowing that I just met him awhile ago so instead of saying the truth, I said; "Nah, I'd rather be a guy if i can choose."
"Okay. Well let's go to class."
"Yeah. Come on."
After 4 classes, lunch rolled in, I waited for Matt and try to look for Tom at the same time. He got out of his class and his eyes lit up immediately when he saw me.
"You were waiting for me?"
"No, I just like to stand here doing nothing." I replied sarcastically.
He rolled his eyes, "Come on, I know you were waiting, lez eat!!"
"Kay dude."
We went to the cafeteria and felt all eyes were on us. Especially the big four, I ordered my food but Matt insisted to pay for it. So Matt ended up paying both of our lunch.
We sat and chatted about a few things, I can see in my peripheral vision that Cameron was death glaring Matt.
What was his problem? Jeez, that guy sure is bipolar. :O
