That's Life

"Where the hell did you go?" I ask walking toward him.
"I'm sorry..." He says getting into the car.
I get in after him and put on my seatbelt, "Do you just have a habit of ditching people or something?"
He tightens his grip on the steering wheel, "I came back for you, didn't I?"
"Whatever..." I keep my gaze out the window, so he can't see the angry expression on my face.
He turns on the radio to kill the silence between us... Some shitty pop was playing and just as quickly as he turned it on his switched it off. "I am sorry, Turtleneck..."
"Why do you even call me that?" I snap still refusing to look at him, when he doesn't say anything I finally cave and peek.
He seems dumbstruck and lost for words. "I... I don't know... I guess you just wear a lot of turtlenecks... I'll stop if you don't like it."
I sigh and reach from the radio controls, "I didn't say I didn't like it..." I turn on the radio and switch on a rock station.
"Good, because I wouldn't have stopped." His face stretches into a smug smile.

There are 365 days in a year, the next harder than the last. Michael Wolski spends his time doing three things. One- pretending he doesn't care that his mother abandoned him. Two- taking care of his drunk, homophobic father. Three- hating the existence of Daniel Sinner, the son of the man who ruined the Wolski family.
But after a friendship grows between them, maybe it's time to see who Daniel Sinner truly is.
