He remembers my name....

And he's inviting me over. What do to us the question.

Tf am I thinking about. He is straight and taken. Stop.

But.. maybe

Stop.

The next day I woke up to my alarm clock ringing loudly. I hit the snooze button, ready to sleep again, when I heard my dad shouting again.

Ah yes another argument.

I could hear the faint sound of breaking glass and my mom's shrieks. I knew it was my cue to leave so they he doesn't go for me next.

Don't worry. They do this all the time.  They fight throw a few plates, some cuts or bruises, maybe a broken limb but it's alright. They always return back to normal. It's their relationship dynamic.

I took a quick shower, packed my books and listened. The kitchen is quiet so it's safe.

I went down to find a broken set of plates, a glass shard, and a bit of blood, all on the floor.

I walked over it, grabbing the money on the counter and quickly going to my car.

I went over to Derek's place to pick him up, and found him inside his kitchen, eating a bowl of cereal.

"Derek why aren't you ready?" I asked.

"Ready for what...?" He asked.

"School. You have a test first period...." I told him.

He just nonchalantly shrugged his shoulders and continued eating.

"Man, I think those blunts last night were too much for me."

Of course. He got high. Again.

"Let's just go." I snapped, dragging him by the arm into my car.

On the way to school, Derek tapped my shoulder.

"Adrian." He grumbled.

"Yes?" I replied.

"I'm hungry." He said.

"So?" I retorted

"Do you have food?" He asked.

"Why don't you have any?" I inquired, rasing an eyebrow.

"Because you dragged me out before I could pack anything." He replied.

I sighed. "Just take my lunch money." I brought out five dollars and gave them to him.

"Thanks man." He smiled. "You really save my life sometimes."

That was nice of him. Aw

"No problem." I smiled.

And then we reached school, met Hazel and went into class.

So how did y'all like this chapter. I really decided the story was getting boring so I added in some extra details. Please tell me how I can improve on this. Thanks, love you guys.
