Not So Romeo

"Watch it freak!" my brother yells when I purposely bump into him while he's swapping spit with his slut of the week. Oh sorry, girlfriend.

"I may be a freak, but at least I don't get a new STD each week." I smirk as he glares at me when his new toy jumps away from him like she just got burnt. Laughter erupts from the small crowd, that I just noticed, around us.

My brother growls at me, "Tatum."

"Tyler," I mimic. "You know you had it coming bro." The crowd laughs again when Tyler's face gets red from embarrassment and anger.

"What are you all doing?" he snaps. "Get out of here, now!" The crowd of students disperse on his command because, quite frankly, he's scary when he's mad.

If you couldn't tell, my brother is the school's biggest player. He's also one of the most popular guys in school. Typical, I know. But like I said, we've all been stereotyped.

"Tatum, you can't do that to me." my brother sighs.

"You know that everyone knows you're clean. Well except for that girl you were just with, but still." I give him a small smile.

"Yeah, I know. But it's still embarrassing."

"That's why I said it." I chuckle.

"Why do you have to be so difficult?" he groans.

"Arguing again, I see." my brother's best friend, Grayson, gives us an amused smirk as he walks in our direction.

"Always." Tyler and I say simultaneously. The boys do the weird bro hug thing then Grayson turns to me with his arms out. I walk into them and give him a big hug.

After a minute Tyler clears his throat and looks quite annoyed. I don't see why since Gray is practically my second brother. "So how are my favorite siblings today?" Grayson laughs awkwardly scratching the back of his neck.

"Would be better if this one wasn't such a brat." Tyler laughs, ruffling my hair. I smack his hand away and start to walk past my second period classroom and towards the doors leading to the parking lot. "And where do you think you're going, Tatum?"

I look back at the boys to see their questioning eyes. "Ditching." I say in a duh tone. And before either of them can stop me, I'm out the door and running into the woods surrounding the school.
