Chapter 2- So Different
It was a sunny day; the warm sunlight fell on his face waking him up. He slowly sat on his bed rubbing his tired eyes. It had been a busy night, he had started a new book and he was determined to finish, at least, half of it.
He passed his slim fingers through his dark messy hair as he stood from his bed, catching his naked reflection on the mirror next to him with the corner of his eye. He was tall and fit, not skinny, fit; he had long slim legs and a slender pale chest.
Slowly walking to his bathroom he stretched his upper body raising his arms up to the ceiling; he let out a long sigh before closing the door behind him.
Oh shit.
He knew it was going to be a very long and dreadful day.
He took a cold quick shower. He needed something to wake up, not that the idea of going back to high school wasn't a very disturbing thought already.
He walked into his room again. Hair dripping wet and a towel around his waist, He moved to his drawers looking for a pair of clean underwear. Once he found it, he threw it to his bed and went to the closet. He didn't really care about how he looked, but he wasn't going to go out in his pyjamas, though he slept naked. He decided for a pair of dark grey, almost back, skinny jeans, a green t-shirt with a Japanese drawing of a snake and his black leather boots.
Once he got dressed he looked at the window thinking if he should take a jacket. He chose to take his black hoodie, like he always did.
All over again… no
As he walked down to the dining room with his back on his right shoulder he saw the maids already doing the housework, cleaning the windows and doors.
"Good morning sir" The eldest maid said and smiled at him.
"Good Morning Agatha" Loki replied and walked straight to where his breakfast was.
He let his bag fall to the table and walked to his father, who was already having his morning coffee and reading the newspaper on the main seat of the large table.
"Morning dad" Loki said as he approached him placing his hand on his father's shoulder.
"Son" His father replied looking up at him smiling.
His father, Laufey, had always been nice to him. Since the moment Loki was born, his father did everything he could to spend time with him, even if he had to skip meetings that cost him hundreds of dollars.
His father was CEO and owner of Laufey Laboratories which produced almost all kinds of medicine, from pills to creams.
The Laufey's were rich.
Loki sat on the seat sent to his father looking out to the gardens of his home.
"So, final year, huh?" His father said as he drank more coffee putting down the newspaper.
Loki sighed still looking to the window.
"I know…" He looked as his father "Finally"
Finally
Laufey was about to say something, but one of the maids came into the dining room with two plates.
"Oh, Claire, thank you" Laufey said smiling as the woman set his plate in front of him.
"Sir" Claire said to Loki as she put his plate down.
"Thank you" Loki said as he grabbed the fork next to him. He was never hungry in the mornings, but his father had ordered the cook to prepare Loki's favourite breakfast.
He had five pancakes in front of him, with maple syrup and chocolate fudge on a side. He loved pancakes, mostly because almost all the memories he had with his mother involved this delicious dish.
His mother had passed away when Loki was only a child. She had gone to the shopping centre to get his two favourite men some food; Loki had a soccer game and Laufey went to see him, but she couldn't go because she had the flu. To make it up to her little boy and her husband she went out to get some burgers and fries.
It was a rainy evening. They blamed it on the fog and raid. She had been in a car crush, and she didn't make it.
Father and son had already finished their whole plate when the phone rang.
"Sir, it's for you" Agatha said looking at Laufey.
He cleaned his mouth and stood from his chair.
"Good luck, my son. I will see you later" Laufey said and kissed Loki's forehead.
"Thank you, dad. I'll see you later" Loki replied and hugged his father.
I'm going to need all the luck possible
Laufey walked out of the room leaving Loki alone. The young man stood up from his chair, grabbed his bag and walked out.
He thanked the cook on his way to the front door. His black Cadillac was already waiting for him there.
"Good morning, sir" The driver said as he gave Loki the keys to the car
"Hello, Thomas" Loki said with a sad smile as he took the keys.
The high school boy walked to the driver's door of his car and opened it throwing his bag inside.
"Have a good day, sir" Thomas said and went straight to the house.
Loki sighed praying for Thomas' words to come true.
A good day… Oh please God
Thor heard his mother calling him from the kitchen as he slowly woke up.
Thor! Wake up already! You are going to be late!
He shook his head and painfully rose from his bed feeling the sunlight coming from the small window next to his bed. He walked to the closet and opened the door that had a mirror inside. The bruise on his right side was still with a green-purple look and it was painful even to breathe, but of course, Thor wouldn't admit it.
It hurts
He walked to his desk and turned on the stereo. "Walk This Way" starting playing, he grinned and walked into his shower.
After his 5-minute cold shower Thor looked at the clock and realised he had almost 45 minutes to get set so he let the towel he had around his waist on a chair, put on his black boxers and laid on his bed for a few minutes looking at the sky outside his window.
It's such a beautiful day
After twenty minutes, the young man stood up again and went to his closet.
"What to wear today" He said as he looked his clothes.
He finally chose a pair of jeans, a white t-shirt thinking he didn't want to over dress the first day.
It's going to be a good day
He put on his black boots and went to his closet again to look for something in case it became cold. As he looked into his jackets thinking it was way too sunny to wear them he found a red & blue plain shirt folded at the bottom of the closet.
"Yes" He said as he grabbed the shirt and put it on leaving it open.
He ran down stairs noisily as always. Backpack on his back and a huge smile on his face.
"Morning, son" His father said to him as Thor sat down in the kitchen table.
"Hi dad" Thor replied.
"My dear, good morning" His mother, Frigga said as she kissed his forehead.
"Hello, mum" He said embracing her.
Thor's mother and father had been married for years. They had been high school sweethearts, they had gone to Prom together, even to university. They had been neighbours and now lived together. They had been friends and now a couple.
Unfortunately, a single mistake had brought down the dream. They had been scammed.
Thor was five when this happened. Odin had been looking for a partner to start a new business, more likely a restaurant. He found one, his co-worker Mark Stuart, a charming man. Frigga and Odin invested almost everything they had to make it work. Stuart pretended everything was okay, he acted like he had all the money in control and making everything work.
But he lied.
One day, Stuart didn't show up to work at the office. Odin thought he was probably sick so he called him that night when he got home. But there was no answer.
He ran away
Frigga and Odin couldn't believe it. Their friend had betrayed them without even the tiniest sense of remorse. Odin most of all felt incredibly guilty. He had talked to Stuart and convinced his wife to do this, and Thor… poor baby Thor.
He is so young… And we've got nothing
Frigga didn't blame his husband for what had happened, she knew Odin had had too much and she did not plan to make her beloved husband feel worse, they already had enough with their parents.
I told you he was going to ruin you!
You never listen! She was always the wrong person!
But they didn't care about their families, they were a family now, the three of them, and they had to move on, they had to, for their son.
And so they did. Now they lived in a small but cosy apartment near Thor's high school. Odin returned to his old job, and Frigga started selling cakes, muffins and cookies to their neighbours. They were nice people.
"Oh mum, this was incredibly good. Thank you" Thor said finishing his last piece of bacon as he stood up from his seat grabbing his backpack.
Frigga smiled at the kind words of his son thinking he had grown up so fast, he was already a senior.
"Well I am going to work now, family" Odin said and put the dirty dishes in the sink.
He kissed his beautiful wife goodbye and hugged his son.
"Good luck, my son. I will see you later" Odin said and left the house.
"Last year already" Frigga said to his son as she brushed his long golden mane from his face.
Thor smiled and hugged his mother with his strong big arms.
"I know… I don't want it to be over yes" He said, kissed his mother's hand and walked to the door.
"Have a good day" Frigga said as Thor closed the door.
It is going to be a good day.
