ALEISTER
I paced about, nervously waiting for Ryder outside the nurse's office. Biting down on my nails would just seem barbaric considering the fact that I just got them done, so I resulted to nibbling on my glossed lip.
The fight had broken out immediately the first punch was thrown. My nails raked Ryder's arms as I begged and tried pulling him off the other boy. The crowd was in a frenzied state as the word fight bounced off the thin walls of the hallway.
It wasn't long till the commotion was interrupted by the Principal himself. The boys were basically pulled to his office while I waited impatiently outside.
The minute they were dismissed, I rushed towards Ryder, repeatedly asking him if he was in any serious trouble. He merely brushed me out of his way saying that it was just detention but I still followed him around like a hopeless and ownerless puppy begging for food.
I had followed him to the sick bay, constantly asking if he wanted me to wait for him. With one repeated answer, no, I waited.
Minutes later, he was out. He sighted me and groaned at the fact that I completely disobeyed his orders to get to class.
"I thought I told you to go on" he said eyeing me from the side and reaching up to feel his injuries.
"I'm sorry, I-oh careful" I reached out, gently tugging on his hand, moving it away from his face as he winced.
"Don't touch it" I whispered and he let out a low grunt with a slight nod.
"So um, I'm sorry" I whispered and he immediately sent me a soft glare.
"What in heavens name are you apologising for?" He asked and I shrugged, bashfully playing with my hair.
"Whatever, it's that meathead's fault" he shrugged, his face contorting in a tight grimace.
"Careful" I cautioned softly.
"So um are you still coming by my place tomorrow?" I asked and he huffed but nodded.
"Thanks" I squealed, reaching up on my tippy toes to kiss his cheek.
The fuck did I just do?!
Panicking, I went speed walking towards my locker, muttering apologies to him as I did.
........
RYDER
Four o'clock, finally, I sighed loudly. I got up from the chair feeling exhausted and frustrated only to be bumped into by that turd again. I growled lowly as he turned to me.
Smirking cockily, he left the class. I didn't have time for him right now. I just grabbed my stuff and left as well.
.........
I got home in about twenty minutes, taking my time to marvel at the huge van parked right in front of our lawn. The worn out old thing looked quite familiar so I decided to check the lisence plate. As I did, my eyes widened and I basically rushed into my house, flinging my bag aside.
"Uncle Chuck!" I called out happily.
A roaring guffaw echoed through the entire house as my giant uncle rushed up to me, embracing me in a tight bear hug.
"I'm suffocating" I choked, his large muscular arms unwrapping from my smaller form.
He was a very huge man, a dedicated bodybuilder. With his towering height, I seemed like a twig next to him. His loud and manly voice complimented his size greatly.
"Hey Ryder, what's up buddy" he chuckled, patting my head.
"I'm great, how's Edna" I asked, referring to his daughter.
"Why don't you asked her yourself" he stepped out of the way and my legs were immediately speared by my little Niece. Her short arms barely able to wrap around both my legs.
"Cousin Ryder" the five year old squealed before eventually letting go in a fit of joyous giggles.
"How's it going, Eddy" I cooed patting her head and she pouted at me.
"Don't call me that, I'm a girl, that's a boy's name" she protested in the cutest way possible, stomping down on her dainty feet, sternly.
"Sorry but you'll just have to deal with it" I said, ruffling her hair playfully and she crossed her arms over her chest, still pouting and looking away.
"Eddy?" I called out but she didn't answer.
"Oh so you're mad at me now" she nodded and I went on one knee, getting to her level.
"Well too bad, I'll just have to do this" I immediately attacked her with tickles while her dad chuckled from above us.
She laughed, kicked and struggled, desperately pleading in between laughs for me to stop.
"Oh.. please.. I'll....l...l.et ....you c..c..call me...E..Eddy" I stopped Immediately, kissing her plump cheeks loudly.
"Good girl" she grinned widely and I ruffled her hair some more before pausing at the sight of my dad walking in.
"So um Chuck, I'll join you guys at the hotel later I have a couple of things to sort out here at home" he said and my uncle nodded before calling out on his daughter.
"Bye Ryder, see you at the wedding" he said, getting on his knees while little ole' Eddy scaled his back.
"Bye Chuck" my dad said before going to show him out.
"So only Uncle Chuck could make it?" I asked immediately my dad returned.
"The others are already at the hotel, you know your uncle is always fashionably late" he said, a small smile teasing his lips.
"So tomorrow, huh?" I said, not knowing what else to say after a short moment of silence.
"Yes, make sure your little friend doesn't steal any thing and My new wife will be moving in with her son immediately" he said with a blank face, assuming I was being 'her' over.
"You never said anything about a son!" I yelled out angrily but he just calmly turned to me.
"Don't you dare say I fucking didn't, all those times I was telling you about her I'm pretty sure I mentioned her son who is the same age as you" he rambled before ambling up the stairs.
"All of this is bull!" I yelled out, leaving the house, making sure to bang the door loudly on my way out.
.......
I had driven in rage. My knuckles were pale from the tight grip I had on the steering wheel. I hands occasionally reached up to brush aside my messy hair. It wasn't long before I arrived at my unintended destination, Aleister's house.
I sighed fishing out my phone from my pocket, texting the boy. I couldn't just waltz in unannounced.
Me: Hey it's Ryder, you home?
It didn't take long before my screen lit up with the message alert tune.
Aleis: Sure, are you coming?
Me: I'm right outside
A few minutes later, I spotted Aleister on his porch. He waved down at my car and I got out, walking over to him.
"Sorry for coming unannounced" I muttered, scratching the back of my head nervously.
"S'okay" he said softly, letting me in.
As he walked in front of me, my gaze shifted to his body, unintentionally stopping at his ass.
"Booty shorts? Really?" I chuckled and he sent me a pouty but soft glare.
I laughed it off, looking around at his home which looked almost empty except for furniture.
"Where's everything?" I asked as we slumped down on his couch.
"We're moving" he said, sadness evident in his tone.
"Somewhere far?" I asked, quirking a brown and he shook his head.
"No just a different neighborhood s'all" he replied and I nodded.
"You're home alone?" I asked and he nodded.
"So what do you wanna do?" He hummed in thought, biting his lower lip in the process.
"A board game?" He suggested but I just shrugged.
We thought about it for a while. A smirked slowly crept upon my face as I thought of something.
"What's up with the creepy smirk?" He asked curiously smiling nervously at me.
"Remember when I said I'd force you to binge watch all of Billie's music videos?" He gulped nervously and my smirk widened.
Wow this was a boring ass chapter.....well whatever, next one might be a lot more interesting....keyword:MIGHT
