"babe wake up, you have school" I heard Damien groan as he tried to shake me awake
"just...five more...minutes" I whispered as my eyes fluttered closed again
"nope, get you ass up now" He said shaking me vigorously
"okay okay I'm up" I said with my eyes shut closed
I will never get used to waking up early to go to school. Thank God I only have three more months of high school, or hell as most of us like to call it.
"don't make me have to pour water on you" I heard him say
"you wouldn't" I said comfortably
"wanna find out?"
Knowing that he was probably serious this time I shot up, not wanting to have my sheets wet. I turned to look at him holding a bucket of water.
"first you don't want me going to school, now you're trying to wake me up to go to school. Make up your mind man" I said getting out of the covers allowing the cold air to hit my whole body
"I need you to graduate. anyways what you want for breakfast?"
"I'm kinda feeling ihop, mind if we stop there before you drop me off at school?" I asked walking over to his side of the bed and standing in front of him
"you already know the motto, anything for you daddy"
I leaned down to kiss him as a thank you but he pulled back instantly.
"hmm, go brush your teeth first stinky" He said making a face causing me to laugh
I pushed him back onto the bed then walked away to the bathroom. Today was my last independent day since my mom was coming back home tomorrow night. I have honestly enjoyed this week without her being here, Damien has stayed over every single night. Occasionally we would invite Dillon over but he has been acting weird, since...you know...I told him I loved him.
Even though he said we could stay friends he hasn't really put effort into trying to be friends. But I get it, he needs some space and I already have Damien so I shouldn't be stringing him along.
I turned on the faucet and grabbed my toothbrush, putting some paste on it then brushing my teeth. Once I was done I pulled off my joggers then hopped in the shower, my happy place. As I'm shaking my ass and lathering at the time time I hear the door open, scaring the shit out of me. I peek through the curtains a bit only to find Damien walking to the toilet, pulling his pants down and sitting.
"you are not seriously about to take a shit right?" I said drawing his attention
"that is exactly what I'm about to do, what's the problem?" He said looking unfazed
"um maybe that I'm in the fucking shower!" I said raising my voice
He ignored me, instead he start to grunt.
"you have got to be fucking kidding me" I whispered to myself, getting back under the water
Damien finally finished polluting the air allowing me to breathe again, after holding my breath trying to not breathe in the horrendous smell.
I quickly finished showering after he left, still smelling small amounts of his feces in the air. I went to back to my room to find it empty, but there was an outfit laid out on my bed. Damien has to really good taste so it wasn't surprising that he threw together the best outfit I have ever worn. I got dressed then grabbed my phone and bag, making my way down the stairs where Damien was just chilling on the couch waiting.
"you look hot" He commented
"and you took a shit while I was showering, fucking disgusting" I said scrunching up my face
"nature was calling, anyways let's get going before you end up late to school" He said standing up with his car keys in hand
We walked out the house to his beautiful car parked outside. My mom promised me a car for graduation freshman year so she better live up to her promise. But now I'm kinda feeling motorcycle's, especially since I know how to ride them.
"your mom is coming home tomorrow right?"
"yeah, I'm going to miss you staying overnight" I said with a pout
"baby you know imma still be in them sheets" He said with a smirk
"I know but I liked not having to sneak you in or keeping quiet"
"oh I know how you like to get loud" He chuckled
"you just can't go one minute without being sexual can you?" I said hitting him in the arm
"sorry, but don't worry only three more months till you graduate and become an adult who can make his own decisions"
"you may not know this since your mom is not black but my mom is going to control my life till the day I die, that's just a black mothers mentality. it won't matter how old I am she will still whoop my ass if she thinks I deserve a ass whooping" I explained
"are you kidding me, hispanic mothers are the same if not worse. You think my mom gladly let me move to new york? I was 20 but still was a 10 year old boy to my mom, I had to stand up to her though"
"why new york though? I'm pretty sure you could've become a dancer anywhere, maybe even Las Vegas"
"I don't know, I was drawn to new york I guess" He said as he continued to drive
The drive to ihop was kinda long since I don't live anywhere near an ihop. By the time we got there first period had already started. Luckily the ihop wasn't full though so we were seated and served pretty quickly. I ordered red velvet pancakes while Damien got a smokehouse combo.
As usual I was devouring my food while Damien ate quietly and stared at me. This time I didn't even bother to look up at him, I just stuffed my mouth with cakes as if it were my last meal.
"you're so beautiful, you know that stinky?" He said putting his fork down
"look who's talking about stinky" I said not taking a break from my food
"okay well time to go, before you end up missing your whole school day" He said looking down at his watch
We called over the waitress to get to-go boxes and pay for our meal. I also got India and Dom some food knowing that they would be pissed at me for not showing up to English, well mainly India.
As soon as she brought their food we hopped back into his car and headed to my school. I honestly didn't feel like going today, but I don't want to make a habit of not going then being told I can't graduate because of absences.
"have fun stinky" Damien said as soon as he pulled up in the empty parking lot of my school
"are you kidding, this place was meant to suck all the fun out of your life" I said rolling my eyes
"well get out of my car, I have an interview to get to" He said unlocking my door
"interview, for what?"
"a school interview, I considered what you said about taking a few courses to at least get an associates degree. That won't happen if you won't set an example and go to school"
"you don't have to tell me twice, make sure you get in" I said kissing him on the cheek then getting out if the car
By this time it was already my lunch period. Meaning I had missed my English and Economics classes. I walked into the building, swiping my ID card which made a little sound since I was late. Ignoring the stares of the security guards I walked to the noisy cafeteria. Walking to our table to find Dom and India playing a game of cards.
"where the fuck were you, you missed a test and-"
I pulled out the box of ihop quickly shutting India up. She grabbed the box out of my hand and started to dig through it as if something in there was hers.
"umm bitch did I say you could have my food?" I asked
"umm nigga does it look like I care for your permission?"
I rolled my eyes then pulled out Dom's box of food handing it to him.
"thanks bro, oh and Mr Daly wants you to go up to his room to take your test" He said taking the box and opening it looking pleased
So I said bye to them and headed up to the third floor to Mr Daly's room. When I walked in he had his feet propped up on the table as he enjoyed his lunch which smelled mad good.
Mr. Daly
"Adonis...sit" He said setting his food down and standing up
I took a seat in the front row and watched him go through his papers finally finding the right one. He walked over to me and placed the test on the desk and put a pen on top of it.
"you'll have forty-five minutes for the test, if you have any questions just ask" He said then turned around and went back to his desk
The test was honestly light to me, I breezed through it in just twenty minutes. Once I was done I picked the test up and took it over to him, about to leave when he called me back.
"wait...I wanna ask you some'" He said sitting up in his chair
I turned to look at him waiting for him to continue
"I peeped that you been acting weird since I uh gave you my number. I hope I didn't scare you or come on too strong"
I know I have been acting weird, but it's because he's my freaking teacher. I already have Damien and Dillon problems, I can't have Mr Daly in the mix.
"look Mr Daly..."
"call me Eli" He said cutting me off
"Eli, I just have too much going on right now. There's these two people I'm madly in love with and can't choose between them, so I would rather not make that three people. You're probably a good guy but you're my teacher man, so it's gonna have to stay a student-teacher relationship"
"I understand, I just wanted to make sure you weren't going to..."
"report you? nah, if it wasn't that I was seeing someone I might have given you a chance. anyways I have a class to get to" Right after I said that the bell rang indicating that lunch was over
He thanked me for keeping this on the low then dismissed me to go to my next class, art.
As I was walking in the hallways I noticed Tyrone across the hall looking directly at me with a smirk on his face. He hasn't bothered me all week so I just ignored him and walked to my locker. I was busy unlocking my lock when I felt a pair of hands grab me by my waist and swing me onto the floor, making me hit the ground face first.
"what you gon do now that your bitch ass friend ain't here to help?" He said raising his voice trying to cause a scene, what he does best
Usually I would've gotten up and walked away not allowing him to get to me, but then I remembered what Dillon had said. If I let him get away with it people will think I'm pussy and start to walk all over me. So I did what I never thought I would do, I got up and charged at him.
He was shocked causing me to be able to tackle him to the floor, and everyone knows that in a fight you never fall. I got on top of him and started to throw punches at him. They were sloppy punches but they were still doing damage. That is until he pushed me off of him and got back up.
Now I was the one laying on the floor. He grabbed my legs and dragged me closer to him, lifting my head up then smashing it back on the ground. I could've sworn my skull had just cracked and my hearing had been muted. My head was burning causing my to scream in pain.
"this one for your little boyfriend" He said letting go of my head
I felt a little relief until I felt his foot jam into my chest. He lifted his leg then jammed it into my stomach, knocking the wind right out of me. The pain I was going through right now was indescribable. I started to see spots of black before I completely blacked out.
•🌺•
"Adonis...wake up" I felt a pair of hands on my chest
My eyes fluttered open seeing the white ceiling above my head. I looked around and noticed I was in the nurses office, and the voice, it was Damien's.
"w-what happened?" I asked
"you blacked out from the amount of pain your body was experiencing all at once. Luckily you didn't drift off into comatose. Nothing serious you need to worry about just make sure you get some rest" I heard the nurse say behind Damien
"oh" I said as the event played over again in my head
"your brother is going to take you home now. The principal has suspended both you and the other kid for five days" She said as I sat up
If it wasn't that I was tired I probably would've argued back. Why the fuck was I getting suspended when I got beat up, what sense does that make?
Damien look pissed off but was trying to calm himself down. Yet another thing both brother's have in common, anger issues. I sure do know how to pick 'em.
I stood up from the bed, stumbling a bit but gaining balance instantly. I wore my shoes then picked up my bag from the side of the bed. The nurse gave us a pass allowing me to leave school early.
We went to the main office where Damien signed me out and got my work for while I'm suspended. All the way up until we got his car he didn't say a word, just had that pissed off look.
"what the fuck happened?" He asked as soon as we got in his car
"I don't want to talk about it" I said leaning my head onto the window
"we're going to talk about it, why the fuck were you fighting?" He asked trying to sound like my parent
"I was defending myself, that same boy who Dillon fought for me attacked me in the halls. So I did what Dillon said and stood up for myself"
"Dillon" He muttered under his breath
"wait how did my school know to call you?" I asked confused as to how he was here
"they called your mom a couple of times but she didn't answer. So they called me since I had signed you out the last time" He replied
"oh"
"I had to tell my interviewer to reschedule because my boyfriend was in the hospital"
"firstly I was at the nurse you liar, and boyfriend?"
"yeah what about it?" He asked putting the key and and starting the engine
"I'm your boyfriend now?" I asked with a small smile
"well I kinda figured since you and I have been you know...unless you don't want to be my-"
"no, no. I do want to be your boyfriend. I just didn't know you thought of me as your boyfriend" I said cheesing ode hard
"of course, you my little stinky" He said with a similar smile on his face
I started to drift to sleep feeling unusually tired. I guess the nurse must've gave me pills that make me sleepy. Only a few minutes after I had fallen asleep I felt Damien shaking me.
"Adonis, what's your moms car doing parked in the driveway?" Damien said looking past me
My head quickly turned staring at my moms car which indeed was in the driveway. When she left it was in the garage, and she's the only person with the keys.
"why is she home so early?" I whispered to myself
"maybe here flight was moved up" Damien answered even though the question wasn't directed to him
"I'm going to go find out, leave before she sees you" I said unlocking the door
"no goodbye kiss?" He asked
"nigga leave" I said getting out of the car and slamming the door shut
I waited until he pulled off before walking to the front door. I grabbed my keys out of my bag and slowly unlocked the door, nervous for what ever reason. When I walked in my mom was chilling in the living room with her laptop on her lap as she watched something.
"your school called, they left a message. What was that about?" She said not looking up
"This boy attacked me and we got in a fight. I'm suspended for a week" I said deciding to tell her the truth in case she already knew but was trying to trick me
"hmm, I'll deal with that later. Right now I want to know who has been in my house?" She said finally looking up at me
"w-what...no one" I said feeling a lump growing in my throat
"oh really. you see before I left I decided to install some camera's around the house in case a burglar came in while you were asleep or something. now I don't know but I'm pretty sure this is the same guy I told you to not hang around, walking through my kitchen butt ass naked"
She turned the laptop around showing footage of me wrapping my arms around Damien's naked body as he cooked pasta. My mom cocked her head to the side waiting for an explanation, while my heart literally raced.
"grounded"
