tears? I’m loving it,’’ he laughs, that’s when I notice Malik’s hands are in fact balled into tight fists resting on his knees.
“So let me get this right before you go over to the girl that’s been eye fucking you since you stood up...’’ Denny starts.
“She was doing it before, it’s why I stood up,’’ he grins down at Denny. “Just doing my duty.’’
“Anywayyy,’’ she replies slowly rolling her eyes. “So you liked insulting a girl who doesn’t deserve it to get a reaction out of your brother just so you could get a smack in the teeth?’’
“He won’t smack me,’’ he says confidently, but I notice him giving Malik a quick look to make sure.
“I wouldn’t be so sure,’’ Malik growls.
“Love ya, but I gotta leave ya. Later babes, oh and Myles, can you make sure you take notes in last lesson for me?’’
“Urm, why?’’ Malik asks, his face looking like stone.
“I need to go to the dentist?’’
“You don’t have an appointment for the dentist. Granddad arranges them all and he always has you two go together,’’ Malik interrupts sounding much older than his years.
“I have the shits?’’ Max continues.
“You look fine to me,’’ I butt in rolling my eyes.
“Thanks,’’ he grins giving me a wink. “She thinks I’m fine,’’ he taunts Malik earning a chuckle from Denny.
“Your funeral. Make sure whoever the skank is that she’s worth it because Maverick is going to go nuclear on your ass when he finds out. Which he will, he always does.’’
“Like he didn’t skip school. Sometimes he acts more like a dad than a brother,’’ he snaps before rushing over to the girl that had been eye fucking him.
“Maverick is going to be pissed when he finds out,’’ Myles adds again in a lower tone than Malik used.
“Yeah, well, we’re not his keeper. Maverick needs to know we can’t make him do anything,’’ Malik shrugs.
“Hey, I have to go, want me to walk you to class?’’ Denny asks as Malik and Myles’s end their conversation.
“Yeah. I have free period last lesson so I’m going home early today,’’ I tell her standing up. A hand reaches for me, stopping me, causing tingles to spread up my arm. “Yeah?’’
“I’ll meet you after the next period ends then. I have free period too, so we can go back together to get something to eat and then work on our project,’’ Malik tells me.
“Okay. Um... want to meet me at the Oakland building by the stone bench?’’
“Sure. I’m in Bernard’s Hall, so it might take me a few extra minutes to get to you.’’
“That’s fine, I’ll meet you there,’’ I smile, blushing when he gives me that sexy grin of his.
By the time my last class had finished I was exhausted. Whether that was due to the anxiety attack I had last night or from the long day, I have no clue. My hand is still throbbing and has bruised nicely thanks to it going untreated.
I wait for Malik outside the Oakland building at the front of the school. He said he’d be late, so I take a seat just outside on the stone bench I mentioned to him earlier. I’m just glad I won’t have to wait in the freezing cold. Today is warmer than it usually is, but with it being the middle of Spring that’s not all that shocking. Then again, weather in England is pretty messed up. I’d be surprised if we don’t start having heat waves in the Winter and snow in the Summer. I miss the days when Spring was Spring, Summer was Summer etc. Winter can kiss my ass. It’s my most hated season, but I think it’s only because the majority of the year is freezing. My favourite time is Spring, it’s when my mom would go out in the garden and plant all her favourite flowers. She only got into gardening just before I started high school and it wasn’t long before it came another one of her hobbies.
Five minutes pass thinking about my mom in her garden back home when a shadow falls across me, blocking the sun from warming my
