Warnings:
- Cutting class
- One aided boy/boy feelings
It was a month since Chase's siblings have been on top of him almost everywhere. But it all stopped three days ago. Shawn had been insisting for Chase to cut class with him one day and Chase kept refusing. Today though, Chase was having a rough day. Adam took advantage of him and fractured his arm. Mr. Davenport gave him painkillers, put his arm in a cast and told him to go to school, so Chase did. Why does this happen to me? Am I really this weak? Chase thought to himself not realizing that the bell was ringing, and he then checked his phone and saw the time was 10:45AM, twenty minutes late to history class. Chase started walking to his class and then saw Shawn sneaking out the building. "Shawn, what are you doing" Chase asked. "I'm not going to class, I'm going to the park nearby" Shawn replied to Chase's question. Chase then started wondering if he should join Shawn. "You mind if I come" Chase asked and Shawn said "No."
The two boys went to the nearby park. "What's up Chase, you aren't like the nerdy boy I hear you are" Shawn blurted out. Chase turned around and stared at Shawn, replying with "I changed that's it". The boys then arrived at the park and sat down on the slide. "Chase, I know that may have offended you but I want to be there for you" Shawn explained to Chase. "My siblings in fact my whole family just don't understand what is happening in school and who I actually am" Chase said with tears in his eyes. Shawn then hugged him and said "If this makes you feel any better, I grew up in Bronx, New York and one of my closest friends got shot last year and nobody seems to care about her" and then started sobbing on top of Chase's lap. Chase then wiped the tears from his eyes and stated "I guess we both are going through things" and wiped Shawn's tears off. They then kissed and smoked pot together until lunch. They then walked to school and sat near each other at lunch. Then Trent showed up to the table and asked "Yo, can you sell me some weed, I'll pass you a fifty, and why are you sitting with this punk" and poked my forehead back. "Yes and he is a friend of mines" Shawn replied. Chase frowned when he heard the word friend and walked out the cafeteria and went home. He entered this house and threw himself on the couch. "Chase what are you doing here? You're supposed to be at school" Mr. Davenport asked. "I don't feel well" Chase replied and went downstairs to the lab. The phone rang and Mr. Davenport then came down the stairs furious with Chase. "Want to explain to me why you cut your history class" Davenport said with a stern voice "I was at the nurse and I told you I feel sick" Chase explained nervously. "Chase says he was at the nurse can you ask the nurse if he was actually there" Donald asked Chase's history teacher and put the phone on speaker and mute. "I'M NOT DUMB, YOU SMELL LIKE PURE WEED SO TELL ME THE TRUTH OR YOU WILL GET GROUNDED AGAIN" Mr. Davenport yelled at Chase and un-muted the phone and heard "No sir he wasn't at the nurse. "Ok fine I cut class and I smoked a little bit of weed but that is because you guys are barely paying attention on what has been going on" Chase explained, starting to cry. "Fine you aren't grounded but don't ever cut class again and most of all don't do stupid shit like smoking weed" Donald said walking to the elevator. Chase then continued to sob and took out his notebook from his secret safe place and wrote
April 13th
Today when I cut class with Shawn I felt more closer to him than ever. I think I have feelings for him and that is why I ran out on him like that. I only took a little weed and didn't inhale good so I didn't get the effects. When I got home and my 'father' found out that I have been going through something he didn't even attempt to find out what was happening to me. The only person who noticed is Shawn and that is what made me like him. I know that we only known each other for a month but he is the only one truly by my side. My siblings are just not understanding me enough and Tasha has been working a lot lately, so I barely spend time with anyone and that is just my life. Shawn went through something and nobody seems to care about it and that is what is happening to me, only that it isn't as severe as what Shawn is going through. The fact that I have no one to help me or even listen to me is embarrassing and now that I do have a person to talk to Trent comes and ruins the fun. I hope Shawn feels the same way about me, that I feel about him. Until then I'm still going to enjoy a company of a real friend.
Signed,
Chase Davenport
He then put the notebook back. It was 2:30 PM and then Chase heard Adam, Bree and Leo come into the house. Chase then went upstairs to get an apple to snack on and heard Bree ask him"Where were you?" and Adam then blurted "Probably at the library since he has no social life" and then Chase ran upstairs with tears in his eyes and locked himself in the bathroom. He then sat down and took out a little ziploc bag with weed and rolling paper he had and rolled up a joint. After that he took a lighter that Mr. Davenport hid in case of emergencies and lit up the joint and smoked it, making sure he inhaled the drug this time.
