The Boy Next Door

Chapter 10

Phoenix's POV:

Yesterday was great!

I really can't tell Sophia that Scarlett and I kissed.

I can't believe that Sophia and I umm well you know.

Does this mean that Scarlett and I are dating? I don't know.

I woke up earlier than Scarlett. She was in my bed. I couldn't let her sleep on the floor. That would be wrong. I looked at the clock

6:45!

I'm never up that early! Right now the only person I want to see is Scarlett.

I text Sophia:

Phoenix: Hey Sophia

Sophia: Where are you! I went to your house last night and you weren't there!

What the hell!

Phoenix: Sophia! Do you not listen to me when I talk to you! I told you Friday that I'm going to my dads. You really don't listen.

Sophia: Who are you with?!

Phoenix: Why the hell would I go to my dads house with my friend?!

Damn

Sophia: Where does your dad live?

Phoenix: Why the hell would I tell you that?!

She didn't text back.

This girl is so weird.

Sophia: I'm coming over.

Phoenix: Oh no your not. You don't even know where I am right now. I can be in Mississippi right now. You don't know.

Sophia: I will just ask your mom.

Oh my fricken..... okay stop cursing.

I quickly text my mom

Phoenix: Mom, is Sophia comes to the door and asks you where dad lives just say ' I haven't seen him in 4 years '  Okay thanks.

Why isn't she texting me....... nevermind

Mom: Okay but why? I'm not even home right now. I'm going food shopping.

Phoenix: I will tell you later.

Mom: I want to know now.

I know even though people tell me that I'm a bad kid and that's my 'name's in school, I tell my mom everything.

I texted her everything.

Mom: You didn't tell me you were with Scarlett! Tell her I said 'Hi' and when you come home tell her she can eat dinner over. And did you 2 do anything bad?

Phoenix: What the hell mom. No! And okay, I'll tell her.

She didn't text me back.

Sophia: Your mom isn't home.

Oh my gosh. Thank my mom!

Phoenix: Okay and.....

Sophia: I will find you!

Wow that's a little creepy ......

I left my phone on my desk and walked into the kitchen. I looked into the refrigerator and found beers. Only beers and a gallon of milk, are you serious!?

I had to find something.

I got the milk and found cereal. There wasn't a lot left. And there were no bowls. It looks like someone hasn't done the dishes in like a week. So I poured the milk into the cereal box and ate it like that.
