Joey pov :

Walking through the schoolgate  I felt goosebumbs  , Its' not my first day at school , Nor my first time changing schools at the middle of the year , yet i feel the chills.

Hell i don't know what's ahppening.

The school is quite ordianry , has a good repuation calm with zero records of bullying , my parents never failed to choose the right school for me to attend , they always made sure that i would be in good environnemt , but still I feel like something is about to happen...

After talking to the principal wich was surprisingly nice I registered my papers and took my attendace scheduel.

My mother is talking to me but I can't hear her well

<< ......wrong....>>

<>

mom: << I said what's wrong baby>>

<< Is everything alright>>

<< yeah it's cool>>

Mom: << look I'm sorry I know how much trouble we are putting you through , but you know the situation with your father and his job..>>

<< I understand mom it's fine.... really>>

Moving around never troubled me before , however i don't know why i feel taht I'm facing a huge one this once.

Hopefully I'm wrong.

Mom: << Think this is your class>>

        -It says maths... yayks  , have to start with maths>>

<< ugh... i hate maths... >>

Never been good with number... not to mention money.. its my weakness point

Mom: << Well have a good day , come home early,... call me if you need me to pick you up>>

<>

I knocked the door twice , shit the class already beagan , I'm late as usual , I'm always late , wake up late in the morning miss my bus so each morning i had to beg my mom to drive also took my time on the way back

I know that's a flaw  i need to fix.

I twisted the door knob and entered

<>

Teacher : << hello Joey , we alrady started so hurry up and take a seat >>

                 -<< christopher move your back bag for your deskmate >>

He completly dismessed her . what a drama queen or king uff or whatever

                 - << everybody say hello to your new classmate >>

All the class started greeting me.. the seem nice.

Teacher: << christopher wake up... stop sleeping and move your back bag >>

Sleeping in class how childish  I always thought that people sleeping during class are so reckless an umatured

But maybe he is just tired , tired from what...

I took my way to my seat. pulled the chair carefully trying not to disturb him as he may be a bully

He is still sleeping. like a little child just like nobody is around him i can see the teacher from afar getting furious at his sight.

<< Hello , can I sit down please.>>

As he rose , I faced a cryctle blue eyes atthached to the longest eyelashe i have ever seen . unfortuanaly the followed a clod glare . for a momment my heart skipped a beat...

                 Shit here come the trouble

Christopher pov :

The teacher is calling my name repeaditly but I'm not able to concentrate on her demand

I did not sleep well last night i never could sleep peacefully at home ever since my parents started having huge arguments and toxic fight .

My life at the moment is a bit toxic.

Someone is knocking at my desk , who the hell is bothering my sleep , for me school is my resting place , clear my thought have a bit slize of peace , now I'm mad

<< what..>>

Joey : << Hello can I sit down please..>>

Teacher : << CHRIS be polite please..>>

He is still standing waiting for my answer , that's really intersting , this boy is quite intersting

<< Sure ... Whatever..>>

Joey << Thank you ...>>

Teacher : <>

Shit i forgot ... again... damn she is goona scold me again... not again not ready for her rage again.

This boy is looking at me... say gazing at me..

Joey : << Sorry I forgot mine can I share with my deskmate>>

Teacher : Only this once joey since it's your first day>>

As he scooted his textbook he said

Joey : << Here we can share mine... hope you don't mind>>

But how... did he heear my thoughts..

as I said this boy is quite interesting ... as we started studying maths i was studying him...now looking closly at him with his blond hair swaying gracefully on his face his hazel eyes ,pinkish lips, he is quite gorgeous ... yeah but whatever.

 The school bell rang so he started heading to the school cafeteria... god I'm hungry i did not have dinner last night mom did not cook..think she was really frustrated after her fight with my dad made her unable to think about cooking... however she knocked at room at the middle of the night apolozing for neglecting me.. I was'nt angry at all but i was sorry for our situation... for her illness... she has cancer... for her hard workimg day and night just to afford a good meal and pay the rent since my father knows nothing but to fight and consume drugs taking all the money we had just to satisfy his needs... I was only sad and sorry...

Anyways now time to eat.

I started filling my plate Sam the annoying kid i have ever met is standing next to me

Sam : <>

I ignored him not in the mood to pick up a fight

Sam : << Damm how slow...>>

Just relax don't puch him

Sam: <<  Your junky father did teach manners >>

Alright that's it

I waved my fist in the air and puched hin strongly on the nose... his nose started to bleed and he started to screem and whine like a little girl..

<< grow up already>>

I finished filling my plate real quick before any of teacher could see us... i did not to get in trouble and get my mother worry

As i took my seat  I saw Joey this new kid looking for a palce to sit Just like he was lost in a big maze... cute.. i said to myself...so I waved my hand to him asking him to come over...and so he did....

Joey : << Can I sit down>>

<< why do use the same words on me>>

Joey : << Sorry..>>

Cute... I said again to myself... what the freaking hell is wrong with me

<< That's why i called so sit down already >>

Joey : <>

Same words again

Digging in my food this by kept gazing at me 1 minute 2 the 3 I blurted

<>

Joey : << the food is good>>

<< You are not eating yet >>

I Kept digging my food filling my hungry stomach so he did the same.... suddenly he blurted out of no where << can we be friends >>

<<...Huh...>>

Joey :<< I mean I'm new and alone... and you are kinda nice to me...>>

Me nice ... That' s a firts.

But unconciosly i said <<.. yeah.. sure...>>

Joey : <>

Well guess i made my first friend... whatever what possibley could happen

right...

Joey pov :

More than 3 years since I asked chris to become my friend , now looking back , I still cannot undertsand where the hell did I bring all that courage , A badass , strisct , non joker such as him would never accept having a friend like me , shy , coy , unorrginized a living mess , but he did , so  I was kinda gratefull.

I didn't get to see him much today a lout after classes , since i was hurrying as much as possible to greet my parents back , they let for more than 2 weeks for an important buisness trip .

I promised them to be home at time I even bought some gifts , Earings fro my mom and a watch for my dad , not really expesive presents but few things that i could afford with my allowance and few savings.

However i had to look for christopher before heading directly to home , tell him to not wait for me today so we can get back home together , we always took our road together ever since 3 years never missed a single day even that we normally use different paths , we both live in the oppsite direction of each other . but still we maneged to figure A way , I managed to find a way so I can enjoy his presence next to me as much as possible , look more into his eyes stare at his face

sometimes i can be a creep i know But thoese feeling i cannot deny , I'm aware that what i feel towards him is heading nowhere that he only considers as a dear friend but I can't help it

I cant't help that I fell in love with him at first sight , I can't help that it breaks my heart each day , each moment i saw him flirting with other girls , going out with other girls , god i wish i was a girl maybe he would look my way someday i wish i was a girl maybe he would see me the way i see him , put his slender fingers in my hair , brush my lips with his thumb... Kiss them tenderly...softly ... yeah... maybe...

At the begging I was the only one who would wait for the other , but then after our friendship had more depth he opened up to me , I recognized that under thoese beautiful blue eyes that makes my heart melt a huge sadness and depression , everytime he poured his heart to me about his family , his life , suffer and struggle i felt the urge to squize him into my arms even though he is a bit bigger and taller than me I'll find a way to burry him under my head , tell him It's ok , sooner all well away.

Breaking my thoughts with is precense he said << I thought you left... didn't you say your parents are coming today..>>

<< Yeah i wanted to say bye..>>

Brushing his hair with his fingers he said << well since you waited for me let me take you home... let's take cab. >>

<< ok...so what are you doing today..>>

Christopher: << I think i have a date..>>

What the heck a date again... he just had one yesterday

<< guess you like her since you are going out 2 days in a raw>>

Christopher : << Nah... it's a diffrent one i met today.. she asked me out..>>

Ofcours we wouldn't ask him out.

boiling in my jeoulsy i said << it's a shame i hoped you would to have diiner with us>>

Christopher : << Really i would like that .>>

While fishing out his home i said << I don't want to make you mess you date>>

with a grin on his face he showed me his phone after typing he said << canceled... So i don't have a date>>

He canceld it... just like that..

He added with a huge smile on his face <>

I replied under my breath I LOVE YOU TOO

Damn i wish i was a girl to tell him so...

Coming back home as i opened the door i felt a pecense however the were not parents

As i enterd i found my uncle sitting on the sofa lost in his thoughts...

<>

He kept looking at me silently

A guy came out from the kitchen wearing a sad look... then my uncle exploded with tears

The guy looked my way and said<< i don't know how to informe you...>>

I looked toward chris wich was looking back wondering in his head same as me

The unknow guy completed his sentence saying<< I'm sorry you lost your parents... they had a terrible accident yesteday,>>
