Living With Hope

9~ Stuck boy

Tobias was walking to school. He was up early as usual. He was too tired and still had a headache. Tobias never got the bus, he liked walking. His breaths were slow and his eyes had bags under them. Tobias didn't sleep. His mother played on his mind. After a few minutes of walking a car parked up beside him. The window rolled down.

"Get it," Arthur was at the wheel. Tobias sighed and got in. Arthur started to drive and Tobias laid his head on the window. Arthur took a quick glance at his brother. "You okay?" Tobias sighed.

"Mom came back yesterday. And only after I said I steal.... She wanted me back." Arthur growled.

"She's a horrible human being. She doesn't even deserve to be called a woman. She's not a woman. Nothing like a woman at all." Tobias nodded and looked out the window.

"You're right. She's far from it." Arthur smiled. They didn't need her anyway. To Arthur, she was dead. The only mom he had was his adopted one. Tobias kept his head rested on the window. Soon they got to the school and Arthur parked. Tobias got out and Arthur followed.

"I'm going to meet June. You can follow of you like." Tobias shook his head.

"I need to go to my locker." Arthur nodded and walked off. Tobias quickly got to his locker. Not many people were there because it was still early. Tobias put most of his books in the locker. And took a few out. He found his backpack back on his back. Tobias went to go find June and Arthur. As he was walking, he was grabbed and dragged in to a closet. Tobias went to scream.

"Hey don't worry. It's just me." Tobias looked at Alfred. He wanted to punch him.

"You... What do you want?" Tobias whispered. Alfred pushed him against the door and pinned him there.

"I'm having a party. James told me your secret. I want something." Tobias believe Alfred because James told Al everything.

"Okay what?" Alfred smirked.

"Actually two things. One alcohol for the party. Two for you to drink non. Okay." Tobias froze but nodded.

"What date?" Alfred let Tobias go and smiled.

"Friday. This week. Invite June and Arthur as well." Tobias nodded and left. Alfred waited awhile then left. Tobias went looking for the pair. He finally found them and smiled.

"Hey Toby." This was June's nick names for him if she wasn't on a bad mood or annoyed.

"Hey. So we've been invited to a party." Arthur looked towards Tobias.

"Who's? It could be a prank." Tobias shook his head.

"Alfred's." Arthur looked.

"Still could be a trap." June shrugged.

"If it is, it is. If it isn't, it isn't. I don't care I'm going." Tobias smiled.

"I'm going too." Like he had a choice. Arthur gave an annoyed sigh and rolled his eyes.

"Fine. I'll go. But Tobias and June, both of you are staying by me." Both nodded. Tobias actually didn't want to go. But like he had a choice. He didn't. Not at all.

"When is it?" June asked.

"Friday. Night most probably." Both nodded and all started to talk. Finally the bell rung. Tobias looked and told June it was maths. Both hated to subject. One their maths teacher told off the the boys for no reason, she was a feminist that blamed men for everything. Two she never taught them nothing. All she done was tell off the boys and talk about how every girl in the class should be feminist. Also how everyone boy in the class were horrible.

"I'm gonna ditch. You wanna join?" Tobias smiled.

"Ye. Of course. I ain't going to her class. Last time I missed my lunch." June laughed and both went to sit off. They found a space under the stairs. They sat there and talked.

"So.... Wanna go out?" June asked. Tobias froze.

"What?" June laughed.

"Kidding. You should have seen your face. Priceless.... So who's your type. Mine nice and sweet. With muscle." Tobias smiled. He could tell June anything.

"Handsome, sweet, loves me for me also a guy." June stopped laughing. She stared at Tobias. At first he thought he made a mistake then she smiled.

"I like your taste in guys. Now, at the party.... Will there be any alcohol?" June asked.

"Ye. I'm bringing it." June smiled. She loved rum and coke.

"Can't wait." June then used her backpack as a pillow. She laid down and slept. Tobias put her head on the wall and fell asleep. He woke up ten minutes before the end of the lesson. He kicked June.

"Wake up." June woke up.

"Um... Ye....." Tobias smiled.

"Ten minutes. Until the end of the lesson." June nodded and smiled.

"Okay." June fell back asleep.
