The Next Day

Chapter 4: The Next Day

it was six in the morning; I woke up to the horrid sound of my alarm clock.

"Who invented you!!?" I screamed as I threw the monstrosity people call the alarm clock across the room.

I laid back into the softness of my bed when I noticed that it felt a lot cooler, the heat radiating next to me was no longer present. I snapped my eyes open and tossed the sheets to the floor. Next to the pillow near mine sat a yellow sticky note.

Sorry I couldn't stay, had to get to my friend's house for some clothes. Don't want to go to school in the nude.-Payton

My cheeks turned a rosy red when I remembered Payton naked on my bed. I sat on my bed thinking about last night when my impure thoughts were suddenly interrupted by my idiot older brother.

"You ready? we leave in like twenty minutes."

"I'll only be a minute" I said quietly

I went into my closet and picked out some brown pantaloons, the word Pants is to dirty, and a plain white T. I quickly laced my black high tops and went down stairs. I reached for my backpack and left out the door with Jay not to far behind.

school was about thirteen minutes away which gave me a little time to some math homework; I've been neglecting my duties as a high school student lately.

"What is that Algebra?" Jay asked not paying attention to the road, again.

"No, Geometry" I said, more focused on my work then him.

"Geometry? You're a freshman?" He said sounding a little more angry then he should.

"Well you know mom taught me good while I was home schooled, and by the way you should be focusing more on the road instead of me." I said.

He was about to speak when he pulled up near the school. "Bye" I quickly stated and sped walked inside. Conversations with my brother are always awkward; we were never really close.

"Hey Aaron, you ready for class." Micheal said nearly scaring me to death.

"umm...Sure" I slowly said. We then left through the hallway to my first class, which is of course Earth Science... ugh I dread this. I actually like science its just that the certain someone I may have shared my bed with last night is my table partner. Micheal left for his first class which I think is drama; So I walked in the class making sure the fan on the teacher's desk make my now lengthy hair flow back like a model..Tyra taught me well I thought to myself as I sat at my assigned seat. I awkwardy placed my oversized binder on my side of the counter since a certain hockey player was eyeing me a little to much.

"Do you have something to say?" I barked at Payton.

He flinched knowing I have several tricks up my sleeve but after five minutes he let cockiness fill his face "last night was fun" he said with a smirk. On the outside I nodded and shyly agreed but in the inside I was furious. How can he bring up our game of twister in the middle of class which is filled with seventeen judgmental teenagers. I just want to go all full Carrie on him right now, I have the powers to do so.

Our conversation was brought to an end by our teacher "today class we are going to make geode rocks, now go get into groups of four".

I hate when the teacher makes up get into groups; I don't have any friends in this class so I always end up being with strange dumb people. "Ugghh!" I said to myself once everyone got up from their seats and searched for their friends as if they were Waldo. I was about to get up but a hand kept me from leaving. "no, you're in my group" Payton command me. I scoffed and sat back onto my stool. Payton called over some of his friends who I had the pleasure of not knowing... well not for long. "Guys this Aaron, He's going to be in our science group" he said while gesturing to me, at least he knows it rude to point. I waved hi to my new acquaintances and they introduced themselves " I'm Greg" and "I'm Robert" they both said after each other. Payton was about to say something but the teacher interrupted.

"Be quiet and read the lab procedures" she said.

I grabbed the lab paper from Greg and read it to the group "cut the egg in half, clean the inside, and gently dry the shell..." about twenty minutes later we finished the lab, we won't see our results til two days later since the the salt-water mixture has to dry up. We got ten minutes just to relax and chat. "Are you going to hockey practice today?" Greg asked Payton. He silently thought to himself and answered "I don't know." I sat there staring at them with confusion; I didn't know you have to practice at sports. I thought it was like improv thing like, you just do what you think is right. "would you like to see our practice?" Payton asked me. I thought about it for a minute or two. I really don't like sports because they get so confusing but I would really like to see how he get his muscles and his strangely sexy bruises. "Ok" I said.

the bell rung and everyone left in jumbled clump. I walked to my second period, which I hated. I hate math...It was OK when it was only numbers but when the alphabet was added it went all down hill. I sat at my desk and placed my binder on it. The teacher soon introduced the lession but I was to sleepy to stay awake. I drifted into a light sleep.

I was awakened by my teacher. "Aaron! class ended three minutes ago." I nodded and headed to my next class with my things.

Third period passed very fast, I don't know why it just did. The great thing is its LUNCH!! YAY FOOD! I got my tray filled with Delicious food and sat at my groups table. I didn't eat til all of my friends got to the table. "Hi, how was your morning?" Harvey asked as he bit into his burger. "Ok I guess, yours?" I said. "It was great, I asked out Sabrina during second period" He answered happily. I smiled and nodded, good for him. Micheal sat next to me and ate his pizza. I turned to face him but I noticed Payton heading our way, great will he ever leave me alone. Micheal caught on to my sudden silence and turned to see what had distracted me.

We both watched him get to our table and sit next to me. Micheal leaned against me and whispered "are you two a thing now?" I shook my head and whispered back "I really don't know". Several awkward minutes later Payton finished is lunch "so are you ready to see me practice?" he asked. I didnt know what to say I thought practice happends after school. "sure we'll be there, lead the way" Micheal answered for me. He nodded and lead us to the indoor ice rink.

Micheal and I sat at the back of the room. The room was huge. It was darkly lit on the bleachers but bight in the middle where the game takes place, it was beautiful. Payton waved at me and I waved back. Micheal tapped on my shoulder and asked "why did he invite you to his practice? Jocks usually invite their girlfriends" I shrugged and looked at the players practice. Payton was a good player so far he made three scores.

My shoulder was once again tapped on by Micheal. I turned to him and he asked "what happened between you two?" he narrowed his eyes waiting for my answer "uum.. nothing" I responded but my bight reddening cheeks gave it away. "You kissed him?" he said I shook my head "a little more than that." I said. "Then what?" he asked "I kinda slept with him last night" I said. He looked in shock but said nothing...To be continued
