"And now will you turn to chapter six, page sixty-seven. You will see- blah blah blah" Right when the old fat man started spewing words from his mouth I zoned out. History bores me to death. Now don't get me wrong I still pass the class with flying colors. As weird as it sounds or the spiked blond cool kid with the pointed shades sounds, its true. I get help of course from my best bro, slight dorky but he gets the job done.
Today is Wednesday, that means history is my last class of the day. As my teacher is talking about something I could give less a shit about I pull my phone from my orange jacket and check it so see if I have any messages. I scroll through the usual girls and boys who I had a one night stand with and I gave them my number to seem like I want a steady relationship with, which is a lie of course. I scroll through until I see a name that isn't a desperate teen thinking we are in a relationship. Jake English. I tap on his name opening the passed texts we have sent each other.
"I'm bored" He sents only minutes beforehand.
"Me too, you in chemistry?" I reply quickly looking back at the teacher to look like I actually give a damn on what the hell they are talking about.
"Yeah, do we need to study today Strider?" He asks already knowing my answer.
"Yeah bro. That would be nice. Well I'm gonna let you go English. I need a nap" I say putting my phone back into my jacket while leaning back in my chair for a short snooze sessoin.
I wake up to a loud ringing noise signaling the end of the day. I sit in my chair a little longer letting the sleep fade and so the hallways aren't as crowded. I soon get up smoothly walking to my locker to exchange some books and head to my car. Once that everyday task was completed I walked to my car where a young man stood sporting khaki shorts and a skull tee. He looked up at me when he heard me approach, his bright green eyes staring at my shaded ones.
"Are you ready to go old champ?" He said his slight british accent tangling its way into his words.
"Yeah," I replied unlocking the car, "Hop in, English."
He quickly got into the car, buckling up also. I coolly walked over to my side of the car also getting in. Once my seat belt was on I started the car and drove to my apartment parking in the parking lot and getting out waiting for Jake to follow suit. We then started on the fifty flight of stairs to my apartment. It wasn't fifty but I sure as hell felt like it sometimes.
When I opened the door I was greeted with an average apartment with a huge flat screen on the wall with a messy couch and coffee table. There were pizza boxes and soda can every where and pathways that led to the main rooms in the small living space. other than that the apartment consisted of a few rooms, a kitchen, two bedrooms and a small bathroom.
I made my way to the kitchen getting myself a can of soda then looking at Jake.
"Bro need anything to drink?" I ask.
"I'll take a soda." He said sitting on the couch and moving some of the trash from the coffee table to set some text books down.
He then started talking about what I was supposed to learn today but I wasn't listening. I never have. I just cheat off my phone during tests and study on the internet for state exams. The only reason he is over is so I have a reason to hang out with him almost every day. You see I have this huge Homo crush on Jake fucking English. Know one knows, not even my own brother. I don't want to be rejected. So I just decided to die alone with him as a best bro. Better than nothing. As he goes on talking about something I could care less about I glance at him and nod to make him think I'm listening. Soon we are done and he has to leave. I say good bye then watch him as he walks down the stair of the apartments. He also lives in the same apartment complex as me but 3 floors down
After he left I went to the kitchen having a small bite to eat then walk to my room plopping on my bed quickly stripping of my shirt and pants. I lay there and think about my day and the way Jake's eyes sparkles behind his thick black framed glasses. I soon fell asleep with him on my mind.
