*Joey p.o.v*
I walk downstairs hearing the stair squeak as usual. My mom looking at her phone smoking a cigarette and drinking wine. I walk to the kitchen and open the fridge and grab my leftovers I made last night. My mom looking at me turning her phone off as I bit my lip nervously.
"Joey, I heard you're grades are getting higher," she mumbles. I turn around looking at her red face and drunk face like every day.
"Yeah," I said as I started eating my food as she gets up getting another wine from the fridge. I sigh again. I just stared at her and walked back to my room. I shut the door and sat on my bed bored as I came across my phone blowing up somehow.
I checked my phone and this guy 'Daniel Preda' in my school. He starts replying to me and everyone is blowing up. I freaked out as I laid on my bed replying back.
Omg Daniel did you just!?
I got really happy and cried myself in tears. Well, first of all, he is my bully with those cool kids. How am I so excited. Wow, me I'm so stupid of myself for just getting excited that my own bully replied back to me. I hear dad walk into the house and yelling my name.
"JOEYY!" He screams as I groaned madly. I walk downstairs as he has bags and packages from the mail and the store. "Help me with these Joey." I smiled nodding as I put them away as I see my little brother with my mom as mom faked smiled at me. I gave her a dirty look as Dad smiled at me as after I put everything away. I left the house and saw girls walking down the streets looking horrible and Daniel with the cool kids.
I have to act normal. I went outside as they all saw me. I walk away as Daniel taps me as I look at him.
"Yes?" I mumbled with a softly strong nervously voice.
"Hey, Joey! Wassup!" he tells me.
"Good, I uh guess."
"You seem excited when I replied back to you."
"Lol! I never you didn't know my twitter."
"Well, uh better be heading back. it's kinda chilly and now snowing."
"Yeah. I have to go somewhere so."
"Why not take your parents car?"
"Bad idea."
"I live almost next to you."
"Ok, that is creepy."
"haha! sorry!"
"it's fine."
"Good, Now Cya?"
"Yeah. Cya."
He walks back home. I keep walking as I panicked as I reach to a house that my friend is in. Her name is Rachel.
"Joey!!!" she yells as her mother laughing in the kitchen.
"Hi, Rachel!"
"Let's go upstairs!" as we went into her room and everything was so pinky.
"Still girly?"
"Haha! yes."
"Nice. My room is lonely."
She knows my pain and what I go through but not Daniel and them. and Nobody else.
"No, I like it!"
"No. it's bad even mom doesn't care."
"Well, lets sleepover."
"I can't have sleepovers Rachel. I will be killed. I even didn't ask permission to come here."
"What wow! I'm sure my mom will not let her do anything to you."
"Ok then."
I take a deep breath as I looked on my phone as I got a message from Daniel Preda.
"Who is that?"
"Nobody."
"Show me NOW"
"No Rachel Privacy."
Hey Joey, where are you I wanna come over?
At Rachels. Oak street 456
Coming.
"Gimme your phone."
She snatches my phone and reads it.
"You're letting another boy over! This is the bully, Joey!"
"He's being nice."
I hear a knock on the door as Rachel opens it as Daniel sits next to me. Rachel shuts the door.
"Hey Joey." he shivers taking off his coat making himself at home.
"Hi."
I fall in love.
'yeah i'm gonna cry.'
