Abrupt and sometimes unwanted

Chapter 2, history geek

Bucky in the story;)
_______________________________

He was finally done, after Clint had left him alone Steve had rewritten most of the essay at rapid speed. Even though it was just the ending that needed to be fixed. Always the overachiever. He was happy with the changes and "the vibe of the text" as Bucky would say. It was a novel, for Steve's history class.

The instructions his teacher Mr Chausley had given the class were simple, more like guidelines rather than an actual step by step instruction. They were supposed to write a historic drama, the drama could only to contain original characters and a made up storyline. No ties to real people or places for that matter.

Steve was normally a bit of a history geek with a good imagination but ever since they got the assignment about 3 weeks ago it had been nothing but sticks in the wheel. He was a little disappointed in himself, not only for postponing doing his schoolwork, but because he had promised his mom to finish it some time ago and he broke that promise, to do what? Party, party and.... oh yeah party..? Embarrassing to be honest. Steve might as well call himself a victim of peer pressure.

Anyway, he was finally done, his main characters had a semi-happy ending, he tied up the storyline smoothly (Steve even drew some quick sketches of his main characters to really set the mood for the reader), he had printed out everything and now the papers were neatly tucked into his backpack, which meant it was now time to call Clint.

As Steve was picking up his phone, scrolling away in the phonebook looking for Clints name he got another call. Bucky's name flashed on the screen, accompanied by a hideous picture of him, Steve was certain it was from the new years eve party, Bucky had a stack of lit cigarettes stuck up his nose and a goofy smile plastered across his face, Steve chuckled every time he saw the picture, he thought it captured Bucky's spirit very nicely. He then pressed the green button to accept the call.

"Hello my brother from another mother". Was Bucky's first words, Steve guessed that he was either intoxicated or on something worse than cheap vodka.

"Hey Buck, you doin okay?", Steve asked.

"Oh boy, oh boy, never better", he laughed.

"Where are you, have you been drinking?", Steve asked, he was always worried when it came to Bucky. The boy had no filter, zero impulse control and a knack for doing dumb stuff.

"Honestly Stevie, the fact that your first thought when i call is where is bucky and what have he been drinking? is pretty outrageous. But no my dearest friend i am onehundred percent sober and happy to be living the best life. Oh by the way is your window unlocked? I am like 2 minutes away from your house".

"Yeye it's open, I'm going with Clint and Tasha to Tony's tho, you wanna join?", Steve questioned even though he knew what the answer would be. Bucky was always up for something fun (or semi-illegal) to do.

"Oooo, sounds like fun, I heard from Thor that Tony missed school today, was he that hungover, if so then are you sure he's up for visitors??".

Bucky and Tony had almost no classes together, except for an AP English Lit course which was only on fridays and wednesdays. Since the boys literally hade two classes together during the week it wasn't uncommon for them to completely miss each other once in a while.

And on top of that Steve was pretty sure they didn't like each other. It wasn't as if they couldn't hang out or do stuff together but from Steve's perspective they always seemed a little stiff towards each other.

"Fair point", he said. "I was just bout to call Clint, he and Tasha went over some time ago to wake him up so I'm going to give him a call and see how things are going. I'm assuming you're here any second so see ya". Steve hung up so fast Bucky's response was silenced.
