For two months we were inseparable, we still are but one day she surprised me, Noel Kahnan, Alex & Chris Bryan by saying… “Wolfe, I have this brilliant idea…I should move in with you”. The first thought that came to my mind was ‘why?’ Don’t get me wrong I was kind of psyched but there was no particular reason why she should move in, Ashanti stopped cutting herself and her dad got counseling so he’s not a drunk abusive anymore…her family was pretty stable unlike mine…I actually thought she would wait until grad to ask me that question. But on top of all of that she said she would NEVER walk away from home because her family needed her.

Alyssa and I walked hand in hand towards our usual lunch table–if you are wondering where our food is? I’ll answer that...we don’t eat at Thornlea Academy, the food is gourmet, I’m never hungry and apparently Alyssa never eats from this place (according to everyone) she feels like meat may have touched any of the food, now that’s obsessive–where 3 loud and obnoxious boys waited for us. These boys are my best friends they are so smart in school (well you kind of had to be to go here or you would get kicked out) but they act like assholes, its incredibly sad.

“Why don’t you two ever eat?” Chris asked as we sat down.

“I’ve told you a million times Bryan, if it’s not made by Chef Pierre it’s not worthy…and where’s Rakki and Ash?” Alyssa answered surprisingly sounding really bitchy.

“Are you telling me, your effing chef has to make you everything?” Chris asked annoyed, actually I was annoyed where the hell did that answer come from, because that was not the truth.

“I object!” shrieked Noel, every head turned towards our table. Ever since Noel got accepted into Harvard Law School, this kid has been saying things like I object all week.

“Object to what No?” asked Alex curious to find the answer, I was curious to see where this was going.

“As I recall, on a certain Saturday about 3 point 5 weeks ago you and Damien ordered a veggie pizza for dinner. You are probably wondering how I know this. Well to answer the question that is running in your head, you text me…in fact let me show you,” explained Noel, he was going to be successful he had a great opening statement plus proof to back it up.

Ally2Noel: Can I come over, to like stay for the night

Ally2Noel: Well, Damien had to go and I don’t wanna b left with my dad

Noel2Ally: kk, but I dun think my place is n e better

Ally2Noel: I’ll tell my mom to—prepare

Noel2Ally: plz dun hypnotize him with that veggie crap

Wow okay I thought he was stalling it was there, she actually said she had veggie pizza.

“Objection!” Alyssa shrieked back. “According to this text it doesn’t say I ordered the pizza.”

“Okay, we get it…you don’t need to be a freaking lawyer until September,” interrupted to Chris, apparently he was just plain out pissed today.

“Bryan you okay?” asked Alyssa being sensitive to wards her best friend.

“Yeah, I’m fine…to answer your question from earlier, they dipped…some thing that only they would understand…well to be honest I just can’t remember why they said they left…they’ve gotten close now…or am I just the only one who thinks so?” Blabbered Chris, with a hint of happiness…this kid has some serious mood issues.

“Oh, okay,” she said a bit dazed, in fact she seemed to be staring at something more like someone. “Isn’t she just gorgeous? I’ve never been jealous of the way someone looks in my life…ever, until now.”

“What?” asked Alex as confused as I was.

“Well, her skin is like totally perfect, she has beautiful hair, no glasses, a nice bod and and and and…No am I delusional?” she asked.

“Are you telling me you are jealous of Ariana? You’ve got to be kidding me; you are the hottest girl in Thornlea,” smirked Chris.

“If you hadn’t noticed Chris she was asking me, she fully said ‘No am I delusional?’ just keep that in mind,” said Noel, I guess I wasn’t the only one pissed at Chris, but then again I was pissed at Chris everyday, he came as a threat to me, like he still loves her and I know deep down she still loves him, so there is this slight possibility they could get back together.

“I should invite her to my party, shouldn’t I?” asked Alyssa still on the Ariana obsession.

“Oh my God don’t do that,” said one of Alyssa’s “friends” Drea, as she set her food on the table.

“Why?” she asked finally snapping out of her day dream.

“Because your party only has seniors…it is a grad party, you can’t just invite a junior, that would be stupid,” Drea said responding, actually the answer to Alyssa’s question was so retarded, even I knew the answer.

“Whatever, I’ll just invite her to my house,” Alyssa added as she rolled her eyes.

“Okay I can’t take this; I’m going to go sit with Eric Kahnan…why is your brother here?” Drea asked directing her question towards Noel.

“Oh my mom wants him to watch out for Ramon, he recently go into a fight and now big brother Eric has to watch over him…I thought she would ask me ‘cuz I go to this school,” Noel explained, Ramon was Noel’s little brother; freshman. Anyways recently he got into a fight, Ramon won but his mom is worried about him.

“Ooo okay bye,” Drea said cheerfully. “I think Eric would love the company.” That’s when it hit me Eric and Drea were going out, I completely forgot they’ve been a couple since grade 7…wow.

“You seem happy,” I said, with as little words as possible.

“Shut up…I just never got the opportunity to say anything.” I responded sounding gayer then ever, how do you sound gay with a voice as deep as mine, only God knows it just happened.

“Anyways, Wolfe I have this brilliant idea…I should move in with you,” she exclaimed a bit dazed. How can you be dazed coming up with a plan like that? At the exact same time Noel, Chris, Alex and apparently I asked ‘Why?’ I wasn’t even aware I said why.

“You don’t want me to move in?” she asked now aware.

“It’s not that but…you don’t have a motive for wanting to move in…and I’m not so sure–

“I do okay,” she interrupted squeezing my hand; I didn’t even realize we were holding hands. Then she gave me an I’ll-talk-to-you-about-it-later look. I nodded and then looked at the others, they were still stunned. In fact I was still pretty stunned myself, she wanted to move in with me?

Chris then looked me in the eye and said “You.Me.Washroom.Now.” I got up, grinned and followed my cousin. You know what’s funny (okay this is totally random I just thought I would bring it up), Alyssa and Ashanti are twins, their cousin is Noel, they are all in the same grade and were born in the same month, May (May 1st, and May 2nd). Also, Chris and Alex are twins, I am their cousin, we’re in the same grade and we’re all born in the same month, March (March 5th, and March 13th).

Chris grabbed my wrist and dragged me towards the washroom against my own will, this was totally unfair (yes I said totally), I mean he’s this muscular, football, super-strong god, and I’m this not-so muscular god (I have muscles, abs I just don’t look as good as him), my talent is art and well I’m not so strong, I’ve been dragged like this by Alyssa many times. So anyways he dragged me into the washroom and sat me down on the couch, yes our school has a couch in the washroom, well they should for the money we pay to go here.

“You can’t say yes,” he pleaded; it was adorable seeing my older and much larger cousin begging me to say no.

“Why?” I said with a wide grin spread across my face. I knew the answer to this question he loved her way too much for that to happen and well Alyssa never asked him to move in, just after 3 weeks and a half.

“You know why,” which was true. “Don’t do this to me it’ll kill me,” he looked like he was about to cry, but his pain was my pleasure. “Damien please stop smiling!” His voice boomed throughout the washroom, luckily no one was there.

“Sorry, it’s you know she’ll win, Lyssa’s very manipulative, we already discussed that’s the one quality I hate about her, also I feel like she’ll beat me up,” I replied, I was loving this scenario, it was different.

“Don’t even, I mean she’ll beat me up with words, do you think I’d want anymore abuse in my life?” I asked kind of tense.

“Whatever, just when she asks you again, say no or something like that…please,” I actually felt sorry for him because I knew for a fact she’d just show up at my house with a truckload of stuff, no matter what I said.

When me and Chris returned to our table, 2 more people had joined us, Jason and Thomas Pearson. Let me explain who they are.

Jason: Two weeks after Ashanti returned, Jason was found. They found him with no shirt and a pair of khaki shorts with bruises all over his chest and back. That scared the crap out of him so he “quit” smoking, if only it had scared him into coming to school everyday. The weird thing is he gets 90’s on all assignments and gets perfect on every test, people have suspected that Thomas helped him but it’s not true Jason is smart. Anyways the days that he is here he sits with us because he’s Ashanti’s boyfriend. Oh you probably want to know what Jason appearance, he’s my height (6’0), ice blue eyes (they’re really nice not as sick as mine though), blonde hair that’s always in his face and a golden tan.

Thomas: He’s Jason’s older brother, he should be at Yale, Princeton, Harvard…wherever but he wanted to stay back one year so he’s with us until graduation. Anyways Thomas is a brainiac and in Alyssa’s exact words “Oh my God why aren’t the girls all over him, it’s because he made honour role every time for the time he’s been here isn’t it?” He’s 6’2, crystal blue eyes like mine, dark hair, and is perfectly toned, he’s pretty much a spitting image of me…my look alike people always get us mixed up.

Anyways they were as shocked as we were when the heard Alyssa’s big plan. I don’t know what to do though I want to attempt to say no, to make Chris happy but I want her to move in with me. While I was in my thoughts Ashanti appeared.

“Hey babe,” she said to Jason then kissed him on the cheek. “How long have you been here?”

“Well I knew you’d be in school today, so I had to hurry up and do the thing I was doing to see you…are we still on for tonight?” she asked and then kissed him one the other cheek. If you thought me and Alyssa kissed a lot you were wrong Ashanti and Jason kiss at any chance they get.

“Ye. We. Are.” His words were chopped because well ye you know.

“Good,” she responded with a smile. Whenever Ashanti said are we on for tonight it meant she was going to his house, because just a few seconds after Thomas would ask me if he could sleep over, I can’t blame them, they can hardly hold themselves together in school.

“Damien, can I come over tonight?” asked Thomas, see I was right.

“Sure, ah…what time?” I asked I wouldn’t be there until 7 because I had work.

“Ashanti, when are you going to my house?” Thomas asked.

“Yeppers, its all good,” I replied then I turned to Alyssa. “Are you coming tonight too?”

“Uh, sure…we need to go over college applications,” she replied.

“Alyssa you got accepted into Harvard, Yale and Princeton, ally Ivy League and you’ll give that up to go to University of Thornlea for me?” I asked, it was actually kind of foolish if I could go to Yale over UT I would totally go to Yale, I mean I got accepted into Yale and Harvard I just can’t afford it.

“Whatever, I just want to be with you, Damien don’t ever forget that.” I think that was the sweetest thing she said all day and then she kissed my on the lips. But for some reason I didn’t enjoy it, normally kissing in front of Chris lifted my heart but this one time, it drilled a whole in my heart.
