Chapter 1: Hectic Morning Rush
Chapter 1 : Hectic Morning Rush
"Oh my God I'm late for school!, James shouted, rushing out of his room with his school bag half way to his shoulder. Running to exit the house as if being chased by wolves.then a woman peeked from the kitchen with a sweet face, Jame's mom . screaming "what about breakfast?, He turned to look at her saying " forget breakfast I'll be made the toppings cuz I'm late already!.
"Well at least take your lunch with you,,! He's mom said. "Fine! James said while rushing back to take the box . " Hold on you're forgetting something, she said tapping her forehead with her two fingers. James looked at her pursing his lips then releases them to say " but I'm late mom, can we do this when I'm back'' looking at his mom's determined eyes waiting for the kiss.
"Oh God I can't with you " he groaned as he pecked her forehead good bye." You know it's my morning motivation" she said as she looks at her son proudly as he leaves the house. Then turned to continue her chores.
James rushing to the bus stop and hoping he doesn't miss it. " Shoot I hope I don't miss it " , saying as he's running to the bus stop. He then bumps into a person, not looking back he screamed " I'm sorry " . Getting to the bus stop the bus arrives just as he gets there. " Oh thank God I made it" he wheezed as he got into the bus gasping for air.
James took a sit by the window. He took out his ear plugs to listen to music, as he enjoys his ride. he looked out the window, he flinched at the sight of the person he bumped into earlier, the man in black cloak and a hood covering his entire head and a mask over, his face staring at him with scary glowing eyes.
Shocked James said " I said I was sorry man, why the grudge.
the stranger kept staring at him until the bus had
left that scene.
He got to school late for a class. Running to the classroom entrance , he stopped at the exit. The class and the teacher turned to look at him. " Can you do your self a favor and arrive to class early?", The teacher said with a disappointed look. "I'm sorry won't happen again sir, James said with a sorry voice. '' that's always your excuse " the teacher said. He nods his head for James to enter the classroom. He scurried to his seat. And the teacher continued his class.
As James was settling in his seat, a boy whispered behind him " ended the game late again didn't you" James turned to him and with a smirk on his face. " You know it's my comfort zone". James loves to play games since he was little, he got obsessed with after the death of his father. His heart even breaks more whenever it's the date for his birthday or anniversary. Because his mum always remember and breaks to tears.
And he promise to make his mom forget the sad times and make her happy at cost.
So he works hard to get good grades in school, so he could make his mom proud.
"Of course I get it bro, it keeps a man mind at peace". Austin said smiling back to him."yeah you get it, on that note please lend me your notes,, James said with anticipation of collecting it.
Austin Leaned forward to whisper in his ear "on one condition, we split your lunch" . James turned his face to him, his eyes almost disagreeing but then nodded to agree.
Austin with a smile on his face nodded back saying "good then it's a deal!, The teacher noticed the two and screamed at them to pay attention. They adjusted themselves and continued the class.
After few minutes the class ended. at the of the ring of the bell for lunch time, the teacher left the class, so did the students after. Just as when James and Austin where about to leave too, a group of girls came rushing to James desk. Austin noticed the girls then said " oh no your fans are here, James turned confused " fans?. He turned to see the girls approaching him, he flinched at the number of girls. "But you where five yesterday!!, What happened why'd you guys doubled. James said with a shocked look in his face.
A pretty girl with long brown hair, came forward holding her make up bag and said; "there's this new product we wanna try on you pretty face, the rest of the girls nodded in affirmation. James said to knowing if they start it's not going to end till lunch break is over. " Sorry ladies not today, find someone else besides I'm a guy, why put a make up on a guy?. One of the girls voice out saying. "Not if the guy has a pretty face as yours ''
The girls nodded in agreement. The girls love how smooth and gorgeous James face is, and his dark hair complimenting his pale skin, his beautiful sky blue eyes so pretty and clear. His guy friends always tell him that they don't mind dating him. James always cringe at that statement. Girls from his class and other classes always try their luck with him but he always turn them down nicely saying " I'm sorry but you're not my type, the guys do to , and he tells them the same thing.
That makes James question his sexuality, if he likes girls or boys, he doesn't even know what he's type might be. So yeah he's having a major crisis with that. " No! Maybe some other time, " James said leaving the classroom for lunch, Austin followed him resting his arm on his shoulder " wow it's not easy having pretty face, I wish you were a girl I'd fuck you, Austin said meeting James displeased gaze upon him, which sent chills down his spine. Austin flinched and apologize to him getting the message James was passing to him.
The sound of bell rings across the school, and students rushing out of the school premises, school was over, everyone leaving for their homes and various destinations, Including James waving at friends good bye. He and Austin walking together because they're heading the same direction, on reaching Austin destination they stopped to bid each other good bye. " See you in school tomorrow bro* Austin said said to James "yeah I gotta head to my part time job see you tomorrow bye*, James bade Austin good bye leaving for the bus stop .
In the bus James starts thinking about things he needs to get for his mom on her birthday. " I need to surprise mom* , I need to make Saturday a great day for her. he said smiling to him self.
After he's part time shift at the store, it was time for him to leave for home. " Boss I'm gonna head out see you later* he said waving bye to his boss. He crossed the street and left.
It was getting a little dark on the street to James house , as he was walking he noticed someone follow him at his back, so he had an idea to make a wrong turn to a Conner to see if he was right. The stranger did the same, James noticed and then walked a little further to the left, the stranger also did. Now James was convinced he stopped to confront the person, " can I help you? * At this the stranger stopped and raise his head to face James. The eyes glowing under the hood over his head. James shocked moved a little closer to the stranger then said " what? aren't you the guy I met this morning?, I thought I said I was sorry, I didn't mean to I swear,* James said with sincerity in his voice.
But the stranger didn't say anything, and just kept staring at him with those scary looking glowing eyes.
