Autumn in the middle

nine

(skip to after-school)

I need Malcolm by the front of the school
"Finally it's over, my first day of school was hectic."

"Really? I know Mr. Herkabe but what else?"

"Well I got extra homework, someone purposely bumped into me Knocking all my stuff in my hands over, someone in PE and kick a soccer ball at my Buzum. And it hurt." I say. Malcolm lead. But we were going the wrong direction.

"Hey Malcolm, where are we going?"

"I thought it would be better if we do our homework in the park. Since my house has Reese and Dewey, and yours has screaming parents and a little sister." I nod.

Once we get to the park we sit in a slide start to work. But only after 20 minutes I was bored. I start taking my marker and start to draw and slide.

"What are you doing?" Malcolm asks.

"I'm bored and I want to take a break." I pout.

"Ok, do you want to talk or what?"

"Sure, can I on your hand? Mine is full." I say showing Malcolm my he nodded and I started drawing.

"So, I made new friends today. And there actually girls." I over exaggerate the word girls.

"Wow that's hurtful," Malcolm said pretending to be hurt.

"You know what I meant" I say with a smile
"I have a question," Malcolm says
"Yes?"
"Will you go out with me?" Malcolm asks
"Yes! Yes! Yes!" I shout jumping up
"Well since we're dating now, I can do this-"

I close my eyes and pucker my lips, as he does the same. We lean in and right before our lips touch, how to draw a mustache on him.

"You won't get as mad." I continued.

Once we were done with our homework we start to walk to Malcolm's house, our hands tangled swinging back and forth.

We walk to the boy's room our hands not together because we don't want our family members to know. I open the door to series putting mustard in Dewey shoes, I tried to hold back a smile but failing miserably.

I know I'm evil😈, but it's funny., at least after all Reese has done to him.
I opened my mouth to speak but the doorbell cut me off. Louis answered the door.
"Hello is Autumn here?"
Pure fear pump through my veins. I squeezed Malcolm's hand, my eyes bigger than an owl's.
"He's here, "I whispered in a shaky voice.
"What? Who?" Reese asked
I poked my head out the door
"He's here," I say this time more clear.
My father turned his head towards me and Malcolm, which I was squeezing hard.
Dad walks - well more like stomps towards us. He grabs my wrist takes me to his side.
"You're not allowed to hang around with boys!" He yells
Turn towards Malcolm with all my strength
Malcolm I barely squeak out.
"Silence!!"
I look at Lois with begging eyes, she mouths sorry. My head turns towards Malcolm and Reese which they mouth bye in sync. I get released from his grasp and run to the car door. Once we're in, I fold my arms and sulk.
I'm going to be in so much trouble. I groan in my head.

(Skip to my house)

My father slams the door "Get your stuff, leave, and never come back." He says with his voice trembling with anger.

Where am I going to go? Why can't I even be near him? Ugh, this is unfair.

I pack my clothes, guitar, and other stuff, which l fits in two suitcases and one backpack. I grab my skateboard and head off to the only other place I can go, Malcolm's.
I ring the doorbell and Lois answers.

I tell her the story, "I don't know I'll have to talk to Hal but, you can stay tonight in the boy's room.

We walk over to their room

"Ok, Dewey you can sleep on the blowup mattress tonight, Malcolm, Autumn's sleeping with you. Don't get any ideas, mister."

I turn to Malcolm, he has a cheeky smile on his face. I roll my eyes "my dorks"
Once she leaves Dewey moves and I told them what happened.

"That's awful," Dewey says.

Again, he's so cute and tiny!
We get ready for bed and turn off the lights.

Goodnight I say as Malcolm kisses my nose. And with that, we all fall asleep.
