Chapter 6 - What I go to school for

The first weeks seemed to pass in a blur, everything was hectic at home with his mommy and her new boyfriend out together all the time, and spending the rest of the time cuddling on the couch. His daddy was a mess, even though both of his parents had agreed on the divorce, his daddy seemed to take it hard that his mommy was already dating.

Mommy said daddy was too sad for Jason to stay with him yet, and that he needed to stay at her place for the next weeks, until daddy got better.

Although staying at his mommy wasn't so bad, Jason would have preferred to stay at his dads, seeing as he ended up spending most of his time alone at his moms anyway.

School was better than usual, for once he felt happy there. Not because things went any better than they used to be, but because now he had friends who wrote to him, and cared about him, and for once he could use his mobile for other things than playing games and calling home, (although he still did that).

He missed Shane and Nate. They had been going to meet at Nate's place for the last week of the summer, but with all the mess going on, his mom wouldn't let him, and the whole thing had been called off.

Shane told him that Brown was arranging stuff with the record company, making things ready for them to record their very first single.

It had already been arranged so they would be recording a cover of an Busted song, which neither of the other boys were happy about. Jason didn't really care, as long as he could play, he was happy.

Nate had talked about visiting him soon, saying his sister could drive him, and although Jason loved the idea, he doubted it would happen, there was no way his mommy would allow him to have "a total stranger" sleep over.

Right now Jason was sitting in his new room at his mom's. He had yet to unpack, and probably wouldn't do it any time soon. When it came to stuff like packing, unpacking and cleaning his room, he knew that if he waited long enough, his mom would do it for him.

Jason felt his phone vibrate in his pocket, and soon it started playing his ringtone, More than a feeling by Boston. Reaching for his phone, he clicked on the green phone, putting it on speaker.

"Hullo?" He said, answering it.

"Hey dude! It's Nate!" He sounded ecstatic.

"Natie!"

"Listen dude, remember I asked if I could stay at your house for a week or so, and you said your mother wouldn't approve?"

Biting his upperlip, Jason racked his brain through for the meaning of the word "approve", but Nate seemed to catch on quickly:

"I mean, 'like it' Jase." He added fast "Anyways, do you remember it?"

Nodding his head, Jason said: "Yeah I do, why Natie?"

Still worrying his lip, he heard Nate shift on the other side of the line, and he heard a door open and close, some quick goodbyes, and a car driving off.

"Well look out of you window and see for yourself."
