The Stars In His Eyes (BxB) ✔️

Chapter 12

"Christian! Where the fuck are you? Get home right fucking now!" my dad yelled through the phone. I glanced at Theo and knew he could hear him by the way he clenched his jaw and tightened his grip on my shoulders.

"Okay, I'm on my way now. Sorry, dad!" I apologized guiltily.

"You're alone, right?" he demanded to know. My eyes widened a little and I glanced at Theo.

"Yeah," I lied. I'm such a bad son. I can't believe I just lied to my dad!

"Liar."

"What? I'm not, I swear! I am!" I said, trying to convince him. I knew my house would be coming into sight soon and he would probably be watching for me to see if I was lying.

"Okay. Get home now, fucker," he commanded, hanging up. I sighed and stuffed my phone into my pocket. I turned to Theo.

"Uh, my dad thinks I'm walking home alone, so you can just drop me off right here, okay?" I asked. I could tell Theo wanted to protest, but but his tongue and nodded. I nodded and head butted him in the chest as goodbye. I pulled away and waved as I walked away. He smiled and waved back, watching as I turned a corner. I was right; the curtains of our front window closed after I was in sight. I can't believe I was such a bad son that even my dad couldn't trust me. I loved him though. He stuck by me, even though I was so bad all the time. I really didn't deserve him. I raised my hand to knock on the door when it swung open and a hand roughly grabbed me, dragging me inside.

"Finally! Get to school, dumbass!" my dad yelled, throwing my backpack into my arms. My eyes widened. School! I ran up to my room and quickly got ready before grabbing the twenty dollar bill that was in my pocket from yesterday and running out the door. My backside ached, so I slowed down a little when the familiar coffee shop came into sight. I bought a muffin and my usual drink and started fast limping towards school.

"Hey, kid! What're you doing, you're going to be late for school!" Scott yelled, trying to mimic an old lady. I snickered and climbed into his car.

"Why are you late?" he asked. I raised an eyebrow at him.

"I don't know, why are you late?" I shot back playfully and sighed. "I missed you so much!"

"Aw thanks!"

"I was talking to the car," I clarified. Scott hit my arm and took a piece of my muffin.

"I slept a little too long. Why are you late?" Scott asked again. I smiled at him and stuffed some of my muffin into my mouth.

"Dude, best friend telepathy? I forgot we had school today and slept in. My dad had to wake me up!" I said and he grinned. We did a fist bump and he parked the car. I got out, hugged the car, and began to skip to school.

"What are you, a teenage girl?" Scott laughed. I laughed as well and the both of us skipped into school...

... and right into Theo.

"Umpf!" I grunted, my face colliding with his back. Scott's shoulder had come in contact with Theo's arm. Theo turned around, shocked by the sudden push.

"Hey, watch whe- Carson? What the hell are you doing?" he asked, chuckling. My face was smushed into his chest now, my throbbing head refusing to move. Theo grabbed my shoulders and peeled me off of him and I looked up at his face for a second. Black beanie. Beanie boy.

"Huh?" I asked, dazed. Scott snickered and grabbed my arm, pulling me away from beanie boy and towards second period.

"Sorry, Theo. He's a clutz," he apologized. Theo just had this confused look on his face as he watched Scott literally drag me to our class.
