Chapter One

"Seriously? Why us?"

Said Kairos Blackwell and August Bishop pointing at each other.

"Because you guys fought the second the graduation ceremony started," the teacher said.

"He started it!" Kairos objected.

"No I did not. I simply asked you to move because your too tall," August calmly replied.

"You were being sarcastic!" Kairos fumed.

"No I was not," August stated.

"Well I don't care. You two are still cleaning up the school this afternoon," the teacher insisted.

"What?! With him?" Kairos complained.

The teacher rolled her eyes and left. Kairos scratched his head and looked over at August to see him leaving as well.

"Hey! Where are you going? Don't tell me your planning to just leave," Kairos nagged.

"I'm getting us cleaning materials," August assured.

"Oh. . ."

"Well don't just stand there like a big statue. Help me get them," August nagged.

"Yeah yeah. I'm coming," Kairos said.

They got their materials and started to clean the hallways. That was the last time they saw each other at school.

August Bishop is a blonde boy with a normal body but he's never known to be weak. He thinks everything through and is always rational. He does have one weakness which is his trust issues. Dysfunctional family problems.

Kairos Blackwell is a dark haired blue eyed boy with a strong body build and a good stamina. He's known to be temperamental and usually acts by his emotions. That is his weakness. Dysfunctional family problems also.

The two never got along in school but unfortunately got paired together for the whole school year.

Nothing happened between them and just got closer for a year.

After school, they just went their separate ways and never met each other again or that's what they thought.

A woman approached the bar, sat down clearly upset about something.

"I'll have an Aunt Roberta," she said.

"My lady, that's pretty strong. Having a rough day?" the bartender said.

"Pretty much. It happens when your date is a temperamental boy," she replied.

"What's your name, M'lady?" the bartender asked.

"Alice. You?" she answered.

"Call me August," the bartender handed Alice her drink.

"Nice name. You look too smart to work at a bar," Alice commented.

"How so? I think I'm good at it?" August chuckled.

"You could do better," Alice said.

"Well this is not my only job," August said.

"Good for you then. See you around," Alice said, paid her drink and left.

"Pfft. A temperamental boy. Reminds me of someone," August laughed.

"Were you flirting with my girl?" someone approached August.

"No. Just serving her drinks and being nice sir," August replied.

"Didn't seem like it," the guy insisted.

"Temperamental indeed," August whispered under his breath.

"What did you say?" the guy snarled.

"Nothing sir-" August stared at him.

"What?!" the guy exclaimed.

"Kairos Blackwell?" August asked.

"Wait a damn minute. August Bishop?" he replied back.

"It is you. That explains the word 'temperamental' coming up," August laughed.

"What do you mean by that?" Kairos said.

"Nothing. Whatever," August rolled his eyes.
