I wake up in a terrible mood today I fucking hate school, it was my first day of year 11 and I'm dreading it, "Jack, Jack, Jack! oh my god JACK BASSAM BARAKAT" "What the fuck do you want may?!"
I scream at my sister just down stairs "watch you're language Mr!" mum yells at me "wake up" she yells back "I am there's a difference to waking up and actually getting up"
I say cheekily "just get down here!" Dad yells "what the fuck, when did he get home" I say to myself he usually comes home during the afternoon,
so I walk down stairs and sit at the table and eat my oatmeal "so what did you guys want to me about?" I ask with oatmeal I my mouth "you're father, May And I are going out tonight" "and?"
"And Alex is coming over tonight to keep an eye on you" they said I started choking on my breakfast "what?! To watch me One, I'm old enough to look after myself and Two, He hates me if you only want a daughter than sure! Bring him over"
I said giving my father a Death stare knowing he's the one of planned it "plus what about his parents?" "They're coming with us so is Tom" "and Elyar?" "I think he's going to a mates house" my dad hates me I don't even know why I call him dad he's my step-dad
my real dad is amazing and way better he's always supported me his name is Bassam, Bassam Barakat,
I love my dad to death my mother divorced him just because he 'apparently' spent too much time at work and never at home,
he never spent any time on my mother or did anything for her which is bullshit every night he would bring home flowers for her, he would make the dinner for us, and he did everything with the kids (May and I)
yet my mother never saw it and now she's with a prick called Jason, mum and may liked him because he was always one for the ladies but me
Nope he would beat me and tease me and just annoy the fuck out of me may and mum never saw it dad believes me he would always throw shit at me the only thing we have in common we both love mum nothing else
"whatever" I say getting up grabbing my bag and walking out to the door until I was stopped "aren't you going to say goodbye?" May said with open arms I hug may and mum "what about you're father?" Mum says Jason with open arms waiting for me to hug him "he's not my father and never will be"
I said staring at him and walk out the door a bit harsh I know but I've never hugged him not even when I was younger my parents divorced when I was 8 and 9 years later never hugged him,
I walk to the bus stop listening to music and I see Alex just sitting there contemplating life I guess I make myself laugh because everyone knows Alex doesn't think he just acts
"hey, last year of school, then you're a free man" I said looking straight at him" "yep, what are you going to do when you leave next year?" He said looking at me
"I honestly have no clue, I'd like to think I'd be able to stay here, but you never know, what about you?" I said I looked away for a second wondering if saying that was a good choice.
I stare into his amazing brown eyes ok so it's easy I like him he's just so perfect "I want to get a scholarship for football don't really mind where but not somewhere too far away from everyone" he said staring off into the distance,
can I ask you something?" I said looking straight at him "depends, nothing that will make me become less popular I'm glad no one can even see us talking"
He said looking at me with a straight face "ha ha ha every funny Mr tough guy, no but you know how we've been well 'friends' sorta forever pretty much"
"yeah our parents were friends as kids, we were born in the same hospital room, but I was born a year and six months before you Jacky boy"
He said giving me a little wink Fuck no wonder all the girls fall for him he's fucking hit with his stupid brown hair and stupid brown eyes and stupid face and stupid voice fucking hell I've got it bad
"anyway, do you think we will still be friends after you leave, even though we don't usually get along? Seeing that we will be older?" I ask because Alex ever since we were younger he was always there making me smile, when I broke my arm he was there making sure I didn't cry, when my parents got a divorce he was there making me happy, when I was in a serious point in life where I wanted to kill myself he was there burning the rope so I couldn't use it again, Alex was always there for ME and he also let's me call him Lex or Lexy as a nickname he calls me Jacky or J and I can call him Lex or Lexy but I haven't called him that since I was I don't know about 12? Yeah since then we sort of slipped, we aren't the same after that we weren't as best friends after that day and I wish I could just forget and I never want to talk about it ever
"I don't know, you're a bit of a loser and i don't really like losers so we'll have to see won't we" he said
"Bus" I said waving it down I get on it and sit down because my mates don't catch my bus unfortunately
all the popular year 12 are at the back the annoying year 7's at the front (sorry I don't know how American high schools work I'm British)
I'm the only year 11 on this goddamn bus and the suddenly I feel water at the back of my head great, what a great way to start the day
"that's what you get little bitch barakat" I hear Zack yell from the back of the bus "oi barakat stop being so addicted to you're music" Dillon said
"why don't you tell that to you're mum about my dick" I say looking back giving a devilish smirk as Alex giggles and shakes his head holding Dillon back
i just sit back listen to my music and just stare into the grey clouds and watch the trees blow in the freezing cold wind.
