Jeremy

"Grrrrrrrrr", the alarm rang waking me up. I groan and shot out of bed with a yawn.

I didn't bother checking the time, I strode to the bathroom to take my bath. I got to the shower and let the water wash my body. I came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around my waist. I decided to wear a white T-shirt with black ripped jeans. After wearing my clothes, I didn't bother styling my hair and decided to leave it in curls on my head.

"I still look good", I thought smirking staring at the mirror.

I carried my backpack and walked downstairs. I grabbed an apple and a granola bar from the counter. My parents have apparently left for work, not that I minded anyway. I am better off without them.

I walked outside to my motorcycle that I got for my 17th birthday. I got on it and put on my helmet and roared the engine to life driving off to school. My house is just 20 minutes away from school.

Immediately I got down from my motorcycle, girls flock around me. I winked at most of them and flirted with some until my gang arrived. Jake, Valentino, Eros and Andrew walked towards my direction after getting out of their cars. They got to me, I did our usual Bro hug with each of them.

"Hey man", Eros says to me after disengaging from the hug.

"Good to see you again bro", Jake says grinning.

"Hey bro", Valentino says smirking lightly.

"Hey Jeremy", Andrew says to me smiling lightly.

"Hey"

"You too bro"

"Hey"

"Hey Andrew"

I say to them respectively.

Then we proceed to walk into the school building from the parking lot making small talks along the way. We walked into the hallways and can see the girls drooling and whispering among themselves. Well it is not surprising since we are the hottest and baddest guys of Croswell High School. And this is the first day of school after the summer. We all walked to our lockers to collect our books for the day. I have got chemistry this morning.

"Argh", I groaned dreading the class.

I hated chemistry class, I could skip but I didn't want to, it was the first day of school.

"What's wrong man", Eros asks me.

"Chemistry", I voiced out.

"Aw sorry man", he said.

I shrugged it off and proceeded to go to class after the bell rang.

"I will see you guys later", I said to Eros and Valentino.

Fortunately for me Jake and Andrew and also attending this class, this will make it a little bearable for me. The three of us walked down to the chemistry class just as the bell rang. As soon as we walked into the classroom, all eyes turned to us but I ignored it and walked to the back of the classroom with Jake sitting right beside me and Andrew at my front waiting for the subject teacher, Mr. Finn. He decided walk in just as the final bell rang.

"Good morning everyone and welcome back", he greeted smiling gently. Then he called the class rooster

"Mia Collins", He called

The girl raised her hand indicating she is present.

"Chloe Davies"

The girl raised her hand too.

"Dylan Owens"

He raised his hand too.

"James Thomas"

He also raised his hand.

"Jeremy Carter", he called my name

I raised my hand too like the rest of the students.

"Jake Roy"

He raised his hand too.

"Andrew Michael"

And he raised his hand too.

He called the rest of the class like that and they answered him equally.

The topic was 'Molar Concentrations'. The topic seems tough and I could barely understand anything he is saying. "I couldn't wait to get out of the class", I thought.

After a torturous 40 minutes of Chemistry, the bell rang and I rushed out of the class after grabbing my backpack. I didn't even wait for Jake and Andrew. My next class is English. I made a quick stop at my locker to grab my notes and maybe meet up with the guys. I opened my locker and took out my notes.

I saw the guys approaching and I waited for them to reach me. Once they got close I greeted them.

"Hey Guys"

"Hey bro", they all said to me.

"What are you having next" Valentino asks me.

"English", I said.

"What are you guys having"

"I also have English too", Eros said.

"And me too", Valentino said looking through his locker.

"Jake and Andrew, what class are you guys having next.

"Math", they both answered.

"Great, I will see you guys later", I said to them.

Valentine, Eros and I headed to the English class together. Noticed I was not displeased. Let just say I love my English classes. We walked into the classroom and sat at the back. The teacher walked into the class, her name is Miss Sarah and she is really good at what she teaches. The lesson was 'Synonyms'. It is described as words that are almost the same in meaning. She gave examples 'ferocious' is synonymous to cruel or ruthless, 'vacillate' also means hesitate, 'exigent' means urgent and so on. I really enjoyed the lesson and after 40 minutes, the class ended. It was time for lunch, my favorite part of school. I grabbed my bag from the desk after putting my notes in it and I headed out of the class with Valentino and Eros beside me.

We walked through the hallways to the cafeteria, today's menu is Spaghetti and meatballs. We order for our food and head to our usual table. As we started to eat we see Jake and Andrew approaching the table with their tray that now has food on it. As they dropped their tray on the table. I spoke up first.

"How was the class guys", I asked

Jake groaned

I chuckled, I can already guess that it was not good.

"Math is hard man", Jake huffed.

We laughed and he glared at us but we just laughed harder and he glared more. Eventually we stopped laughing and continue our meal in silence. Soon enough lunch was over and we are walking to the hallways from the cafeteria. I stopped and turned to them.

"I am heading to class guys; I will meet you at the field after school," I said to them as I head to ART class. I stopped by locker to get my sketch book and headed to the art class. As I got I walked to my usual seat and sat down waiting for the teacher. The teacher walked after a minute.

"Good day class, Mr. Melvin said

"Today, you guys are going to be paired up and you going to draw an abstract drawing of your partner and I have prepared the list of names, you are all going to pick a paper and know your partner. So come up the front of the class one after the other. Mr. Melvin explains.

I wondered who I'm going to be paired with. I went next after a few people had gone. I opened my paper and it read 'Ciara Campbell.' I looked round the class and spotted the girl waving at me slightly. I walked up to her.

"Ciara right?".

She looked at me and nodded.

"So let's get to work", I said.

She nodded again and I furrowed my eyebrows confused, can't she talk, I thought.

I voiced out my thoughts, "can't you talk", I asked her.

She looked at me again and said "I can talk and yes let's get to work".

I looked away and brought out my sketchbook from my backpack and she brought hers. I looked at her and started drawing and I will occasionally glance at intervals and she did the same. I am actually pretty good at drawing. After 40 minutes of drawing, I dropped my pencil and looked at my drawing and her face. I actually did pretty well. I looked at hers and she tried too. She is very good too and I smiled a little.

Mr. Melvin inspected our work and he smiled at us and move to those behind us. That means we did well. I looked at Ciara and complimented her.

"Ciara, you are pretty good I love that angle of my face.

And she smiled at me in return and said "Thanks".

I smiled and stood up and put my sketchbook in my backpack. The bell ranged few minutes ago so I'm heading out of class to the school field for practice since it is closing hours.

"Bye Ciara", I said to her and dash out of the class.

I stopped at the boys' locker room and got my football gear from my locker and change. I headed to the field and I sighted Valentino, Jake, Eros and Andrew and the other guys from the team sitting at the bleachers. I walked up to them and they looked up when they noticed me.

"Hey guys", I greeted when I got to them.

And they all acknowledged me by nodding and smiling at me.

"Has Coach arrived yet", I asked them and just as I said that Coach arrived.

"Good day boys", Coach addressed us.

"Good day coach", we all chorused.

"Buckle up boys, we are going to be training harder now. You all know the football competition is coming up and we have to be very prepared. The school we are going up against is very tough and we lost last year by 1 point. We have to beat them and win the competition this year. I believe in you guys and I know you can do it. With that said, get up and run 20 laps round the field", Coach said.

I am the school quarterback and the captain so a lot pressure is on me. They all grumbled a little but with a glare from Coach, they got to the training. We ran laps and did a lot of pushups and we had a test match to improve our skills. After about 2 hours, coach finally released us. Everyone headed to the boys' locker room. We showered and changed out of our football gear and I headed out of the locker room with the gang.

"So I will head home guys, I will see you guys tomorrow", Eros spoke up on getting to the parking lot.

He headed to his car and drove off. After him Jake and Andrew too said their goodbyes. And I was left with Valentino. He headed to his car too and said "see you tomorrow man".

"Yeah see you bro".

After he drove off and hopped on my bike and drove heading home. I enjoyed as the sceneries pass by with the wind, I felt at peace. I want to be free like the wind. I was deep in my thoughts that I didn't know I had gotten home. I pulled into the mansion and drove my bike to the garage, I got off the bike and headed to the front door. I walked in and went to my room straight. I plumped down on my bed and looked at the ceiling. It is already 6pm and it is almost time for dinner and my parents aren't back yet. I'm sure they are coming late today again. They always come home late and they already left for work by the time I get up in the morning. They never have time for me and barely see them 5 times in a year. I don't have any sibling, I only got the gang. they are like my family. They are always there for me unlike my parents who only know how to buy me expensive things. I sigh deeply.

I order pizza for dinner. Few minutes later the doorbell rang indicated the pizza is here. I got up from my bed and took some money from my wallet and I walked down the stairs. I open the door and I thanked the pizza guy and gave him his money.

I sat at the dinning at took a slice out of the pizza. I munched slowly savoring the taste of the pizza. I walked into the kitchen and went to fridge to take the juice and poured myself a glass of juice and walked back to the dining. I sat down and eat about two more slice of pizza and the glass juice. I kept the remaining pizza in the fridge and I rinsed the cup in the sink and dropped it in its original position.

I climbed up the stairs back to my room and walked in the bathroom and had a quick shower. I changed into my sweatpants. I sleep without a top. I laid on my bed on my stomach, I closed my eyes tired from today's training I drifted off to sleep.
