Overprotective Life

School

I was on my way to school when it hit me again, how tired i am of Bruce driving me everyday like i'm twelve. "When are you gonna buy me a car?"

Bruce looks at me seriously, "we've had this conversation before Alex. Until you get a car, i will drive you to school. End of discussion" He says, not budging.

I say silent, not having the energy to argue back.

We finally arrive. "bye", I mumble out, before opening leaving the car.

"bye, take care and dont cause any trouble" He replies with his usual sentence, i roll my eyes.

I enter the school building realizing that it's a brand new day. Meaning, i have to repeat the day before all over again.

I see my best friend, Jacob, waiting for me. I've known him for a long time now, kinda lost count how many years though.

"hey", We immediately do our ridiculously long handshake. It was supposedly a joke, but now we don't go a single day without doing it.

"whats up" Jacob replies, opening his locker.

I open mine to get my books.

"you know, you really have to start respecting your brother" he says smirking, obviously teasing. "you can't just roll your eyes at him" He smirks even more.

I give a confused look. "how did you see that?", i thought i wasn't being obvious.

"it was pretty obvious, you didn't face him when you did it so-" He stops then quickly starts speaking again. "i need to get a video of you", he starts laughing.

I push him slightly, "you're so annoying, oh my god." followed by another eye roll.

"just sayin"

I sigh, remembering i have physics. which i'm close to failing if i don't start doing something about my grades. "I have physics".

"i have bio". It's our last year, so we had to start picking out our classes based on what major we wanted. He wanted business, while i... i didn't really know what i wanted, but i was aiming towards Law school, so i just went for it.

"alright, i'll see you after class", I slam the locker door.

"looks like someone isn't too happy about physics", he says, chuckling.

I mouth 'fuck off' making sure no one saw but him.

2 hours later, i finally finish class. I go to the cafeteria for lunch. We had a late start today so lunch came fast. I see Jacob waiting for me as usual at our lunch table, that we've been sitting at since... we've been friends... i guess.

"why aren't you eating" first that comes out of his mouth, of course.

"i'm not hungry, I just know, he wont let it slide this time.

"alright you have 2 choices", shit. "i either tell your brother, or your gonna fucking eat" he says, more serious than ever.

"Jacob come on-" i try to defend myself, but he immediately cuts me off

"you do this everyday, you think i won't notice with those shitty ass excuses", damn i thought i was being slick. "first being 'i had a large breakfast' 'i'm late to class' really, Alex?"

I save myself from the lecture that was about to go on for the next 20 minutes and grab an apple. I start eating it, while looking at him with an annoyed look.

He smirks, knowing he has won. "don't smirk", i push his shoulders slightly.

"fine", he continues smirking anyways.
