Savage little nerd [(BoyxBoy)]

Chapter 2

When I finished doing homework I decided to lay on my bed and check my phone. "No notifications, like always," I thought. I looked at the ceiling, continuing to listen to my playlist. I was currently listening to "Here by Alessia Cara", and was in a deep gaze with my room's ceiling. Staring at the white ceiling and how they contemplated the blue grayish walls that were recently painted in the room. To admit I'm really fond of dark colors for some reason and I don't know why. Maybe because it defines me sometimes. Oh well.

The house was extremely quiet; that may be from my mother's departure. The thing is, my father, mother, and little sister stayed here for a few months before going overseas. My parents transferred jobs, and I decided to stay here. But I'm not specifically alone, there is a housekeeper that comes and goes here. She just cleans as I already know how to cook. Even though there isn't much to clean, I always do my chores regularly.

~Knock Knock~ Ding dong~ Ding dong~

"I wonder who could that be?". I thought while making my way towards the door. I opened the door to expose a teenage girl looking at the ground.

"Hey, I just moved here and-", she stopped when she looked at me." Oh my god!! Hunty is that you?!", my eyes widened when I saw her face.

"Mel! What are you doing here?! It's good to see you. I have missed you!" I said. I pulled her into a big hug and then invited her inside.

You see, Melissa is my cherished childhood friend from my old town. We used to play so much together and she used to protect me from the bullies when I was in kindergarten. Because of that, I decided to learn mixed martial arts to protect myself and stop relying on Melissa, and also to be able to protect her. Even though I don't say it, I love her so much. She's like my sister. Although my real sister has just left.

"Well, I told my parents that we should move here; because I was bored without you," she said making her way to my new room.

"Haha very funny, now tell me the real reason you're here," I said literally throwing myself on my bed just like her.

"What, I can't miss my best friend and decide to move where they currently live?" She said in a somewhat sarcastic tone.

"Well knowing you, you will do it but your parents wouldn't approve of just that silly statement. Now tell me the truth," I said looking at her.

"You got me. My dad transferred jobs so we needed to move," she said staring at my ceiling.

"Really?! So which school are you going to attend?" I asked. I sat up from my sleeping position.

"I don't know, some J Marbury something. All I know is it's 5 blocks away," she said sitting up.

"J Marbury high school?"

I was a little astonished how she was going to attend the same school as I. Don't get me wrong, she is very smart but I thought that the school was full.

"Yeah that one, I'm only attending that school because of its veterinarian program. How do you know the name?" She asked looking at me curiously.

"I'm attending that same school. Great, not only that you're my new neighbor but we're also attending the same school. Just my luck," I said.

"No way! You're kidding me?! Are we really?!" she asked excitedly.

"Yeah," I said. I opened my arms preparing for the attacking bear hug that was coming. Although Melissa is small, she's not skinny nor fat, she is what you consider as thick. Her skin is tan, her hair is curly dark blond and is long-reaching to her half her shoulders, and finally her big brown eyes. She is gorgeous and a fun girl to hang out with. The bad part about her is she is kinda annoying when she wants to and a little bipolar. But hey, which girl doesn't have her annoying and bipolar personality traits.

"Yay I get to be in the same school as my Hunty!" she yelled. She tackled me in her massive bear hug. There we laid on the floor hugging for a few minutes. I really did miss her; she is the only friend that I have and I will always be there for her in the good and bad, just like she was for me.

"Now get off me you're way too heavy," I said jokingly. I pushed her off me and towards the ground. There I stood seeing her role off me and going straight to the floor.

"Did you literally just push me to the floor," she said, still laying there.

"Yes. Now, what do you want to do?" I said getting up.

"I don't know, what do you want to do?" she said still on the floor.

"Let's watch something on Netflix," I suggested. She immediately turned her head towards me.

"I get to choose the movie and you go get the junk food," she ordered me. She pushed me out of my own room.

She's always like this, demanding and lazy, but I still love her just like that. I went to the kitchen and grabbed all the junk food I saw in my reach. I got chips, soda, Oreos, and other types of munchies that my kitchen could have provided. I knew that we were going to be watching Netflix there for the whole day.

Once I got to my room with all the snacks I saw Melissa laying on the floor and looking at me.

"It took you long enough! Now come and pass me the food," she said in her demanding but playful tone as usual.

"Yeah yeah, so what are we watching?" I asked sitting next to her.

"I'm in the mood to cry a little so let's watch "instructions are not included," she said pressing the play button.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~oOoOo~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The movie was good and had a pretty sad ending. I will rate it as a 9 because it had one little flaw. The male main character spoke in SPANISH!!!! Even though there were subtitles I barely caught up with it all. Knowing a little bit of Spanish, and having English subtitles is confusing, but why am I not surprised, I almost forgot to mention that Melissa is Hispanic and not any Hispanic, she's Dominican, as in from the Dominican Republic. Not to offend any Dominicans out there, but y'all are kinda crazy.

And by my side stood a crying Melissa mumbling some Spanish words that I could barely understand because of her sloppy crying. I understand some Spanish words thanks to Melissa and my Latino/ Hispanic family. I really can't learn with our so-called "professional Spanish teachers " they provide in our schools. They don't know how to teach and put no effort into the accent.

"That~was~ a go~od mo~vie," she said between sobs and trying to dry up her tears with a napkin. "Now I'm in the mood to laugh, Hunt picks a good movie alright," she said, passing me the control to pick a movie.

"Okay, let's watch Neighbors 2! I heard it's hilarious," I said clicking on the movie.

"Okay," she said, eating her third bag of chips.

"God how I missed her," I thought while watching the movie.

Chapter 4: Same Class

Yesterday was fun with Melissa, but unfortunately, we have school today and she's coming with me. I'm walking to her house to pick her up now, but kinda got lost in thought on the way. I started to remember things that happened in our old high school, and the memory made me worry a little.

Don't get me wrong, I love Mel. But she has a little problem. She's worse than me, she has a little problem controlling her mouth, a problem that got her suspended for a few weeks. She's nice but has a very short temper; which could make her a little scary sometimes...

Now, getting off-topic, I arrived at Melissa's new house. She was already waiting for me in front of her porch. Her curly hair was put into a tight slick back bun and she wore hoop earrings, what she had on was an oversized black hoodie with light gray leggings; and for shoes, she had white superstars Adidas.

"Took you long enough." She said playfully, as she walked towards me.

"I'm sorry, I just got lost by the path of life," I said to her while we took our leave to school.

"Hunt, we live across the street from each other". She said, a small giggle escaping her lips; I just shrugged at her.

"By the way," I said looking at her with a smile, she looked at me back with the same smile. "You look beautiful today." I said, she just gave me a heart warming smile.

"Thanks." She chirped playfully in happiness.

We walked the 5 blocks to school telling each other jokes like we always did before we moved. I'm truly grateful to have Melissa back on my side again. Even though I will never tell her this, I actually missed her like crazy. But she will never hear that from my mouth.

While we entered the school building, we parted to our respected classes. Well I did, due to this being Melissa's first day at this school, she needs to pick up her class schedule.

I passed the somewhat crowded hall. There were a lot of people today. Some talking near their lockers, others snickering with each other, and others just walking to class alone.

As I made my glorious entrance to my first-period class, I made my way to my respected seat and sat down, while I enjoyed the faint but satisfying breeze that the near window let penetrate for the class. I sat there looking at the window. The bloomed tree danced with the wind, and a few petals from its flower glided with the wind. It was truly a relaxing view, it made me calm and satisfied.

A few minutes passed as I stared at the beautiful scenario. And the teacher decided to grace us with his presence. It was the same old class, the same old lecture from yesterday. But something told me something idiotic would happen today. And as I thought of what could happen today, that something idiotic sense I had, happened to enter the classroom door.

There it was, the sound of the door being forced open and heavy footsteps entering the class. When I guided my eyes towards the surprise, there they stood, Melissa panting and a big toned guy standing beside her; but he wasn't fazed nor panting, he just stood there knowing he came late to the class but wasn't fazed at all. It seems like Melissa ran here because they gave her schedule late. And the other guy just arrived late.

Looking closely at the guy Mel was with, he looked similar to the guy I saw yesterday behind Damien. Wait, he's the exact guy that was with Damien. I never knew I shared classes with him, but remembering that I just recently got here, and the fact he doesn't seem fazed on coming here late. It might be possible he's always late to this class. He either comes late here or doesn't show up at all.

Just then Melissa was looking for a seat when she saw me. Her eyes widened, and a smile appeared on her lips.

"Hunt!" She screamed and ran towards the free seat I had beside me. "We even share the same first period. Isn't this great," she cheered. Her smile never disappears from her lips. I just gave her a small smile and then nodded.

Having her in this class makes me a little more relaxed than I was before.

"Yes, indeed it is," I said to her. Then I patted her head like she was some small child. She just glared at me and slapped my hand off her head.
