New Hope High School || Blake Richardson

Chapter Six

*Blake's P.O.V.*
I woke up the next morning with McKenzie sleeping on my chest. Woah. Wait what? What time is it? Did I spend the night? I didn't mean to fall asleep. I better get home before my mum notices I was gone all night.

I was so comfortable, I didn't want to move. I ran my fingers through her hair, trying to let her know I had to go, as she lifted her head a bit to look at me.

"Morning," I say with the rasp in my voice, moving the hair out of her face. Gosh. I hate my morning voice. It's disgusting. "What time is it?" she said squinting her eyes, not wanting to be awake. She was so adorable, her morning voice was much better than mine.

"It's a bit after 5 I think," her eyes widen. "5 in the morning?? What time did we go to sleep? Oh. Em. Gee. You spent the night?" She hops up and checks the time on her phone. "Why's that so bad?" I laugh a little. She just looks at me and rolls her eyes. I laugh, knowing she was only joking.

We walk up to her room where Tina fell asleep but she seems to be gone now. Hm. Kenzie tries pushing me out of her room so she can get changed, but I don't budge. "BLAKE EDWARD RICHARDSON!!!! Let me change!!!!" I just laugh as she continues pushing me, I still don't budge.

I knew she wasn't going to give up, so I decided to go to my mates room, leaving her be. I give a slight knock before walking into something. Welp. I found Tina. On top of Reece. In his bed. Oh how thankful I am they were both fully clothed, besides Reece having his shirt off. But that's normal for him.

"Ummm hey guys..." I say running my hands through my hair staring at the ground, really regretting saying something. I know I startled Reece because you could here the smacking of their lips stop as soon as they heard me. "Ohhh hey B," Reece says nervously as he began to sit up. Tina gets off of him and sits up at the end of his bed, looking very awkward.

"You stayed the night here too?" Reece says to me as he watches Tina leave his room. "Yeah yeah. We fell asleep on the couch," Before i could continue Reece interrupts me, "Wait, we? My sister fell asleep with you?" We hear the front door open and close, probably Tina leaving.

He was mad. But he shouldn't be. He had no right to be. "Get out." Wow. He's really mad. "Blake. I said get out." He says after I just stand there. I just stare at him with a disgusted look on my face. "Reece calm down. We didn't do anything, not like you and Tina." As I finish my sentence, I hear someone walk up behind me. McKenzie.

"What about him and Tina?" She looked very interested. Reece makes a face at me like he would do something if I told her. "Nothing. It's not important." I say walking out like Reece told me to before.

I grab my things from down stairs and I'm headed for the front door when I hear footsteps approaching me. "Where are you going??" I love the sound of her sweet voice. I turn around and grab her hands, as our eyes meet. "I have to go get ready for school, but I'll be back, I promise." She nodded then placed a kiss on my cheek before heading back upstairs.

I walk outside, and it was no longer raining. It was actually quiet nice. I get inside and my mum had already left for work. It was close to 6 and my sister was just sitting on the couch on the phone with one of her friends from back home. Well. Back in England. This is our home now.

She tells the other line to hold on as she puts the phone down to talk to me. "Hey little bro, I stayed up waiting for you to get home last night, where were you?" I sigh. I hate keeping things from my sister. "Morning Abs. Sorry I didn't let someone know that I ended up staying at Reece's house. I wasn't planning on it myself actually," she just nods and picks up the phone again.

I get into my room on the second floor. I stand in the doorway just looking around. It didn't feel at home, even though it was so similar to my old room. Just a bed with the same white sheets I've always had. My same brown dresser to the left of my bed that sat under a window. My closet on the right. I still had some unpacked boxes in the corner by my dresser that I would unpack at some point.

It was weird walking out of my room, as I was the last room down the hall. I wasn't used to this and I really don't know when I will be.

After getting dressed and walking downstairs to get something to eat, I go back up to my room and sit on my bed. After staring at my ceiling for a while, I picked up my phone to see a text from McKenzie.

I read it in her cute little American accent, "Hey it's Kenz. Come back. I miss you xx". I just smiled. This whole trip to a different country was just crazy. Not to mention that I'm actually never going to walk back in the house I grew up in. But Kenz was the only thing that made this change normal.

Not even seeing my best friends made me happy. But every time I'm with McKenzie, it's like I have no problems and time just stops. That's what I love about being with her.

I grab my backpack from the side of my bed, and yell goodbye to my sister before I head back over to see the beautiful face I left to come get ready.

I walk in their house without knocking, I mean why wouldn't I when Reece is my best friend and I know Kenz doesn't mind, and make my way upstairs.

I find Kenzie in her room as she gathers her homework into her backpack that she probably just rushed to finish this morning.

"Hey," I say leaning in her doorway. She gets up off her bed and walks towards me wrapping her arms around my neck. "Hey..." she said back before crashing her lips into mine.

Holy shit.

Holy. Fucking. Shit.

Why have I never felt like this before? It literally felt like something exploded in my stomach and was about to come back up. Thank god it didn't.

I wrapped my arms around her waist, closing the door behind us as I pick her up taking her to her bed. Our lips remain locked.

I lay her down on the bed and stand, bending over her as she pulls our bodies closer. I knew we had to leave for school any minute now, so I pull away, instantly regretting it.

"What's that for?" She said pursing her bottom lip as she runs her hands through my hair. "I would love to, but not when we have school in 10 minutes," We both let out a slight laugh as I stand up, pulling her up with me.

We gather our stuff and are about to head out when I open the door to see Reece standing on the other side with his arms folded across his chest. We are so screwed.
