Chapter 3

Stephen pov
We were sitting in the hallway with my palms sweating. Was I really gonna tell her my secret to this girl I barely know? Nope.

" never mind it's nothing" i quietly responded.

"Stephen I know what's going on with you, so just admit it and let's move on" she said while rubbing my shoulder.

"Why do you care anyway? You already said you hate me." I said while avoiding eye contact.

"Stephen we've known each other since kindergarten, we've been neighbors our whole life's. I don't particularly like you, but I don't want to you to be feeling alone. Your obviously going through something serious. Your friends might not notice it, but I do." She answered. Honestly I've always had a little crush on her idk why. She's just special when you get to know her.

" and plus your probably just being a bitch about it, it's not that serious to be all pissed about it. Just get over whatever it is. I can help you." She added.

"Fuck you Ayesha, I'm tryna open up to you that's really hard for me. I don't like sharing my feelings and I'm really struggling with everything and I'm tryna come to terms with everything. So no I'm not telling you because I'm just " being a bitch about it" so again fuck you." I bluntly said. As i walked away. I started pounding on the lockers and shit kicking stuff in the hallway. I was honestly scared of myself, I didn't even realize what I was doing. It's like I couldn't control what I was doing, or I wasn't in the right state of mind. I really should've tooken those pills, my mom was right I'm going crazy.

" yo Steph come on we going back to class now" Klay yelled from behind me.

" bro I'm trippin I cant even control myself. I should've known to take both. But I hate the way they make me feel." I said.

" come on let's just go back to class we only have 10 minutes left" Klay responded.

I walked back into class with everyone cheering at me and shit I was surprised. Like wtf did I even do?
" YO STEPH YOUR SAVAGE!!!!" Some guy yelled.
I was already pissed at what Ayesha said so I just sat down and started trying to read the rest of my book. I couldn't read for shit, how could I have not noticed this for a whole 17 years. Nowadays I just feel so stupid like I didn't even know what ADHD and Dyslexia was. Now I feel like a freak. The doctors keep trying to give me pills to " fix me" but I don't like them, they make me feel really mad and I even blew up at my little sister they day i started taking them. She was crying and everything I felt bad she is only 6. I'm done trying to read this shit. I feel like everything's extra confusing ever since I started taking them.

" Steph I'm sorry for being insensitive, I wasn't thinking right. What can I do to make it up?" Ayesha asked while whispering.

"You can come to my house everyday for 2 weeks and we can do our homework together." I said. While looking at her rolling her eyes.

"Are you serious Stephen? Your so extra that's being over the top.....fine if that's gonna make you stop hating me" she said.

" ok great!" I said while attempting to fist bump her.

" no I'm not touching you" she said straight forwardly.

"Watch you won't be saying that in a week." I said in her ear causing her to blush really bad. I laughed.

" Ok class please quiet down. You have to read chapters 10-20 today and there will be a quiz about what you read tomorrow." Ms. Black said.

" yeah that's gonna be good." I said while softly pushing Ayesha. She rolled her eyes. We walked out of class. I had some other episodes, like I punched this kid because he kept pointing at me and Ayesha. So I got sent out and I was begging to get suspended but they wouldn't suspend me for some reason. That's pretty much how the day went, a lot of yelling acting out and fangirls all up on me. And my sons following me around.
After school:
I checked the time realizing I had to go to stephs house now. Why did I even agree to this shit? I put on some slides, put on a Nike crop top, some gray Nike sweats, and put my hair in a messy bun. Nothing too cute, just presentable. I walked over to their house only to stop at the door hearing Stephen yelling at his younger brother Seth Curry. Seth was only 2 years younger than him.
" Seth imma beat yo ass if you don't stop tryna be funny" Steph yelled.

"No Steph it's just your ADHD talking." He taunted. As he held up a book in Stephens face.
" can you read this stephy? With your dumbass special ed self." Seth taunted while laughing so hard. I saw it in Steph eyes he was about to kill him or like really beat him up. So I decided to be bold and just open the door and try to break them up before Stephen could beat this boy up. Steph had at least a foot on this kid and like 60 pounds more than him. Seth was a very scrony kid.
"Come on Steph, let's go let's go do our homework. He's young he doesn't understand, let's just go to my house if you want." I pleaded with him while trying to hold him back.

"Seth imma fuck you up later, watch your back you lil bitch" he threatened him. I've never seen him this mad. Seth stood there looking scared as hell.

" alright lets go to my house so you can cool down." I suggested. Stephen didn't say nothing. He just walked out and started walking down the street. I was confused where is he going? Like is he that mad he's running away!?!? He stood in the middle of street and yelled "god why did you make me so dumb, what the fuck did I even do? I don't want this, I don't want to do this shit anymore" he continued walking down the street, now on the sidewalk. Did he really think just because he has those mental disorders he was dumb? He can get help he shouldn't keep thinking that. He's literally like the best basketball player I know. He doesn't have to go into academics, scouts are already looking at him for colleges!

"Stephen what can I do to help you?" I yelled catching up to him.

" Steph it's alright, it's just Seth he doesn't understand. I got you, we can get through whatever is up with you together. Just me and you." I said while trying to make eye contact with him and slow him down. I heard it's good to make eye contact with people with ADHD.

"No" is all he managed to say.
We kept walking, until we ended up at some tiny lake surrounded by trees. This must be his safe spot.
" Steph let's talk, I got you Steph you'll be alright just talk to me." I softly said.

"You can't understand. I'm just a crazy mental person." He lowly said with his head in his hands.

"ADHD doesn't make you crazy you just are really hyper and don't focus well I think. And Dyslexia doesn't make you stupid either you just a trouble reading. These aren't things to be ashamed of. I can help you if you want." I pleaded with him.

"What do you want me to say? I have adhd I have Dyslexia and god knows what else. I'm a freak now." He muttered.

"Stephen your a great guy that shit doesn't matter. Your cocky and shit but your not a freak. When did you find out?" I asked.

"This summer, I couldn't anything more than usual. I could never really read now that I think about it but that was all I ever knew. And the adhd my parents always knew I had they just never told me." He replied. Damn his summer was rough.

"Oh. Are the pills you have to take making you different?" I asked.

"Yeah they are so annoying they make me act different. Like they are supposed to " help me" but all the do is make me mad." He answered.

" well Steph you should do what your doctor says." I advised.

"I've been fine this whole time. And I've only been worse ever since I started taking them." He replied matter of factly.

" ok Stephen your just not used to it yet. Your body has to get used to them so they can help you." I told him.

" I SAID IM NOT FUCKING TAKING THEM SO FUCK OFF!" He yelled. Not really effecting me.

" Stephen you can't scare me off, I told you I'm here for you. So just stop trying to." I bluntly said.

"Fine" He replied as he took off his shirt pants. And damn he was fit those abs were a dream. I found myself staring.

"What? Are you just gonna stare at me or take off your clothes?" He asked.

" oh um why?" I asked shocked and dumbfounded.

" well if you want your clothes to get wet be my guess but I like to get in water without a full outfit on. But hey everyone's different." He said while jumping in the nice clear water lake with a tiny water fall in it.
" oh um ok. I'm coming." I said while taking off my shirt and jeans revealing my toned body that I worked very hard for.
"Damn your fine asf!!" He cooed. I laughed in embarrassment.

As I got in it was so warm surprisingly. Stephen  grabbed  my hips and pulled me into him. He kissed me.
