"Your home late!" said Harvard.
"Went out with your friends?" he continued with a playful smirk on his face.
"uhhhh no... Well, yeah. Yeah actually I did... Go out with my friends" replied Trevor thinking things through his sentences.
"Honey! Is Trevor back?" asked Monica in the kitchen after hearing mummers in the sitting room.
"Yes mom am back... Don't you wanna come give me a hug." replied Trevor jokingly.
Monica left the dishes in the sink and went to give her son a hug.
"How was school honey?" she asked.
"It was fine.... Uh what are you cooking for dinner" replied Trevor clearly trying to change the topic. He didn't want to tell them he got Detention.
They had high hopes for him and he couldn't just crush that.
"uhhhh I am not cooking tonight. We having pizza. Your dad just finished ordering them before you came." said Monica answering her son.
"Wow so we having pizza tonight. That's great." said Trevor.
His sore mood was now back to normal.
Trevor ran up to his room to take a quick bath. He tossed his back pack on his bed, took off his cloths and headed to the bathroom.
He took 20 minutes in the shower, letting the water flow down his body, his hand placed on the wall in front of him, thinking about the how Claire and Jim chatted in the cafeteria.
This thought were replaced with the embarrassing moments he has in school not long after that and his other free hand clenched at the thought.
After he was done with his shower, he dried himself with a towel and wrapped himself with another.
He walked out of the bathroom drying his hair with the towel.
Trevor put on some lotion and deodorant and a clean set of cloths after that.
Ding dong! Rang the door bell.
"The delivery's here" said Harvard as he stood up from the couch and headed to open the door.
"Hello sir. Your two large size pizza." said the delivery boy when the door opened for him.
"Oh thank you, here's your tip!" said Harvard and the tel exchanged the contents in their hands.
"Hey Trevor get down stairs the pizza's here." said Monica on a loud voice.
Trevor was chatting with his first friend, Clair, ear to ear grin on his face when he heard his mom calling him.
"Am coming!" said Trevor.
"I'll talk to you latter, they need me for dinner downstairs byeee." Trevor sent Claire a quick text then rushed downstairs. He didn't even wait for her reply.
"Hoohhh.... Time for pizza yaamm! Am starving." he said as he approached the dining table, his mom and dad already seated.
Trevor had spilled his food earlier at school and had to share food with Claire which wasn't enough. They were eating a person meal yet they were two.
" Hahaha..... Dig in cutsy wutsy!" laughed Monica seeing how cute her son looked like then.
They had their dinner while they chatted and made another beautiful moment.

Trevor went up to his room and turned on his TV and ps5 to play some video games.
Just as he picked up the white game pad, someone knocked on his window.
He got up and went to check it up.
"oh sh*t! What are you doing here at this time" said Trevor surprised to see Claire outside his window then slid it open for her.
"So you playing games, by the way I came to lend you my homework. I don't want what happened yesterday to happen again." said Claire already in his room.
"Oh, I had even forgotten about it. I'll work on it to night. Thanks" said Trevor.
"So... Do your parents know your out?" he asked.
"No.. They are busy fighting and I just can't stand it." said Claire with a frown forming on her lips.
"So...wanna play some video games together." said Trevor trying to enlighten her.
He could only imagine the pain of seeing your family at the verge of breaking.
"That's cool..." replied Claire.
Trevor picked up another white game pad and connected it then handed it to Claire.
"What game do you want to play?" he asked.
"hmmmmm... Let's play call of duty cold War" replied Claire.
Trevor was kinda surprised. He didn't expect girls to play shooter games. They usually played games with easy controls, the fighting games.
"wow, that's new...." said Trevor as he tapped some buttons and cold War displayed on the screen.
"So, zombies, multiplayer or campaign?" asked Trevor.
"let's go for multiplayer. I wanna kick your ass." replied Claire excitedly. ..
The two enjoyed the game and surprisingly Claire was on par with Trevor.
The match always ended as draw apart from the beginning where Trevor underestimated Claire and tool it easy on her.
" Oh, it's already 10.Time for me to head back home." said Claire realizing time had passed by quickly.
She was really having fun for the first time in a long time.
She even forgot her troubles when she was with Trevor.
"Let me escort you home" said Trevor.
"it's okay" replied Claire.
Trevor put on his jacket and the two went out through his window, climbed down the tree next to Trevor's window and were finally on the road.
......
"Can you all hand in yesterday's homework now." said Mrs. Benson.
Another school day. Another six cruel hours.
The pile of books in Mrs. Benson's desk pulled up quickly.
Last book at the top was Trevor's.
Mrs. Benson paid attention most on his book.
She separated it from the rest of the books as she gave Trevor a kind of disappointment smile.
Trevor could only question the universe why he had to go through this.
Everything went smoothly and school was done.
Well, apart from the stares he and Claire got from the others, everything else seemed fine.
Claire and Trevor walked back home together. They had really gotten close after the fun night they has the day before.
"Wait. Is that Kevin?" said Trevor spotting Kevin bullying a boy slightly smaller than him.
"Yeah but just ignore him. We'll get into trouble" said Claire.
"But no we can't just let him bully that poor kid." he said.
"No Trevor, no.. Don't. You'll get into trouble" said Claire anxiously but unfortunately for her, Trevor was already on the move.
