Chapter 18 - Bold Shane

"Get off me dude" I said agitated "you sleep like a drunk octopus"

"I think I had a nice meal in my dreams, roasted meat…"

"That was my toe you psychopath" I used my arm's strength to push Buch from my bed

We arrived late last night from Deborah's party, about four am. I would have gotten earlier had I left Buch but since he was kind of my responsibility, I had to bring him to our place. Imagine walking with a drunk huge giant who thinks everyone and everything are worms. I had enough problems trying to convince him that I was not going to kidnap and rape him because he was a plump gorgeous white worm. I even had to ask a neighbor for help when Buch literally fell asleep down floor, before we even climbed the stairs to my place, I felt like I was carrying an aero plane.

"Why does my head feel like it's made of pudding and heavy rocks?" Buch clutched his head as he rose from the ground

"That's called a hangover…how about I make you some 'worm tea' "I joked laughing to myself

"Who would want tea made of worms dude?" Buch looked at me as if I was stupid

"I…you were, you were going about worms yesterday and I thought … It was just a joke" I sighed when Buch wasn't even getting a hold on what I was saying

"That's a lame worm joke" Buch shook his head "but I think someone was calling everyone worms yesterday at the party, that was a really drunk dude"

"That was..."

"Is breakfast ready? We need to get to school in thirty minutes"

"Yeah, it's ready" I said already starting to dress up for school. I don't know how but Buch had his school uniform on under his clothes the whole time, so …. Strange. He didn't even flinch when he saw my weird gaze on him.

Yesterday we came home when my mom was deep in her sleep so as expected, she was utterly surprised when she saw Buch come out of my room. For a whole two minutes, she just stood looking back and forth between me and Buch, I really don't know whatever she was thinking. But it had to be really serious.

"Uhm…mom, meet Buch, he is my …"

"Best friend, his only friend, we went to a party last night and he brought me here" Buch spurted out while puling me in for a hug "Isn't he a darling?" he kissed me on my forehead

My mom's eyes widened a centimeter, her mouth agape an egg would perfectly fit inside.

"This is awkward" I said pushing Buch away

"Mom, I think you got the wrong idea" I said sitting for breakfast "he is not anything more than a friend from school"

"Shane it's not bad…I mean I won't judge you if you are…"

"Mom" I protested

"Eeww" Buch said sitting on the ground "I think I saw him make out with a girl yesterday in the party"

"He did?" my mom smiled curiously while sitting down...

I glared at Buch.

"Tell me the whole thing"

"Mom, we will be late for school" I interjected

"I don't mind getting late" Buch smiled

"I do actually mind" I exclaimed

"Since when? Oh it's Mrs. Victoria's class in the morning… I heard she fancies you more than…"

"Shut the fuck up"

"Language Shane…" my mom reproached then turned to Buch "Who is Mrs. Victoria?"

"She is a fresh graduate from university, quite young and extremely beautiful" Buch replied ignoring my glare

"Even your teacher?" mom studied my face "when did you become so bold?"

"It's not like that mom, "

"You don't have to be ashamed of having feelings for women, mostly older ones. It's scientifically proven that younger men are attracted to older women but…"

"I'm leaving" I stood up

"You haven't even finished your breakfast yet…" mom looked at me weirdly

"Well I don't want to hear my mom offering me advice about my feelings for older women"

"I'll stay…I like advices" Buch smiled at my mom making me grab him by the collar of his shirt and drag him outside

"Bye mom" I shouted before I left
