BAD CUPID

Chapter 119

I swallowed as i looked into his eyes, his arms still wrapped around my waist. The rain had completely drenched us and there we were still not caring about our cellphones. What had possessed me? He really did have the prettiest eyes and those lips of his, they were addicting. I wanted to taste them, i wanted to feel them against mine so bad.

Was it wrong that i felt that way? Was it wrong that i wanted to kiss him? The tension was fucking strong.

I shifted my gaze from his lips back to his eyes and i saw him battling with himself, he wanted to kiss me too but he was worried i would push him away. He was fighting it so bad and it turned me on seeing how much he wanted me, how much he needed me.

His lips slightly parted to let out some words and i rapidly smashed my lips against his, my hands on his cheeks. Henry pulled me closer as if wanting every part of me, the kiss became intense, it felt good. We were both hungry for it, it was fucking cliche because it was raining but those were the perfect kinds of cliche.

Fuck Henry Ashcroft and his fucking perfect lips and kisses.

THE PREVIOUS DAY.

"Fuuuuccckkkkk!!!!! Panic is my shit!!" Zach roared happily, a big grin on his face.

"I have never seen them perform live in real life and i swear they are the fucking best!" I groaned. "Brendon is such a hottie."

"I have to agree," Christian chuckled as we walked out the stadium and to where their cars were. "His voice is unique."

"The best thing." Zach nodded in agreement.

"I am so glad i came out tonight." I told them with a smile. "And i am glad you came out with us today." I told Bruce and ruffled his hair.

He chuckled. "This was actually my first time listening to P.A.T.D and i must say, i suck! I can't believe i never knew about them before."

"That was because you were living under a rock." Zach told him.

"I mean, i have to agree." Henry said with a shrug and i chuckled.

"Y'all leave my Bruce alone! He is to be protected at all cost." I said and wrapped my arms around him.

Bruce let out a small laugh. "Don't be so dramatic now, Dylan." He said and i gasped dramatically.

"I thought we were friends."

"We are." He said and ruffled my hair.

"Stoppppaahhhh." I whined like a child and the boys laughed.

"The best part of this concert was Dylan screaming 'Brendon step on my neck'". Christian said and turned to me.

I blinked. "Me? I don't remember saying that." I said and they all looked at me with arched brows. "Oh, don't judge me! Your holes were probably twisting for him to fuck you."

"Ugh." Zach took off his beanie and threw it right at my face.

"Ow!" I gave him the finger and threw it back at him.

"Alright, I'm gonna head home now." Christian said and took out his phone as we came to a stop. "Tyler's at my house and he still hasn't slept, my brothers are keeping him awake and he's binge watching some show. I'm gonna kill them for keeping him awake when i get home." Christian said with a scoff.

"You both are the cutest." I said with a grin.

"I swear to god." Zach agreed.

"Alright boys, i gotta go now." Christian said as he put his phone back into his jean pocket. "I will see you all at school tomorrow." He said as he walked backwards.

"Say hi to Tyler for me!" I told him as he got into his car.

"I will!! Bye, boys." He said as he started the engine and drove off.

"Well," Zach sighed as he turned to Bruce, Henry and I. "I gotta go home and get some sleep if i wanna get to school early tomorrow." He said with a grin.

"Why you smiling like that?" Bruce asked him.

"Because this concert has to be the best fucking thing i have been to this year, i swear." Zach said and we all nodded.

"Same."

"True." Bruce agreed.

"Hey Zach, how about you give Bruce a ride home?" Henry suggested.

"Oh no, I'll be fine." Bruce said and i scowled at him.

"No. Zach is gonna drop you home and besides you didn't come with your stilinski jeep, so go with him because i pull out your eyes." I told him.

"Wait, wasn't it Jon who had the stilinski keep?" Zach asked with a small frown.

My brows knitted in realization. "Oh right! The loud speakers must have rearranged my brain."

Bruce huffed. "You can be scary one minute and nice the next."

"Goodnight, Bruce." I said and hugged him.

"Goodnight, Dylan." He replied as he hugged me back. I pulled away and patted his back, he gave Henry a small wave as he went over to Zach who clapped his back.

"Bye, boys!! Be safe!" Zach told us as he got into his car with Bruce and drove off.

I took out my phone and Henry turned to me. "What are you about to do?" He asked and i looked up at him.

"I am about to order pizza, what do you think i am about to do?" I replied him and he shot me a look that said 'seriously?'

I shrugged and continued what i was doing. "I'm about to call me an uber."

"Why? When i could take you home." He said and i looked up at him again.

"Oh no, I couldn't-"

He chuckled. "Nuh uh, you came out here because of me and so i will take you home. As friends. I understand why you are worried but we are friends now, right?" He asked and i slowly nodded.

"Right."

"So, can i give my friend a ride?" He asked and i smiled.

"Sure."

"Now let's get your ass in." He said and with a chuckle i followed him.

****

"So what was your favourite song tonight?" Henry asked as he drove.

"The fact that he sang Don't threaten me with a good time, ugh!!" I threw my head back and he chuckled.  "But I can't pick a favourite."

"He really is amazing, isn't he?"

I smiled and looked at him. "Extremely. And we are getting new music next month so i hope I'll be able to listen to him live again."

Henry chuckled as he drove. "Well, i could always take you." He said with a shrug.

"N-No, you don't h-h-"

"Well, that is if we are still friends and you don't send me packing." He said with a smirk and i chuckled.

"Hopefully." I said and looked out the window.

Talk about awkward.

I took out my phone for the first time since we went into the concert and i realised i had two missed calls from Trevor and a text asking if i was gonna still come or not.

Shit! I had forgotten to text him. Shit. Shit.

"You okay?" Henry asked and i quickly covered my screen and looked at him.

"Hmm? I mean, yeah, yeah, i am. I uh, i just forgot to do something important." I told him and he nodded.

"What is that?" He inquired. Once he saw the look i had given him, he chuckled and looked back at the road. "Sorry, not my business."

Henry drove in silence till we got to my house, I sighed as i looked out and turned back to him. "Thank you for the ride."

He smiled. "Anytime."

I flashed hm a smile and was about to leave when i remembered something and turned to him. "Oh, uh, one thing. I uh, i may have told them i was heading to Bruce's because he had trouble."

Henry frowned softly. "Why?"

"Well, um, because-"

"Because somebody obviously doesn't want you to hang out with me." He said with a nod. "It just clicked."

"No, it isn't that, they are just looking out for me and well, i just...needed to see Brendon so bad, so." I shrugged.

Henry nodded. "I understand, i will speak to Zach and the boys."

"Thank you." I said and unlocked the car.

"I will see you tomorrow." He said as i shut the car door.

"Yeah, obviously, we go to the same school." I said and he chuckled.

"It's 1am. Do you have a spare key?" He questioned. "I mean they would think you won't be back today." He said and i cursed mentally.

"Do not worry about me, my cousin is awake and waiting for me." I lied.

"Alright. Good night." He smiled.

I smiled back at him. "Goodnight." I said and turned, i silently sighed and made my way to my front door without looking back.

Once i heard Henry drive off, i took out my phone and began dialling Oliver's number. "Pick up. Pick up. Pick up, you shitbag."

Ten minutes later, Oliver answered.

"Whaaaaat?!!!"

I was ready to risk it all and try to go in through the window and look for a lie later to tell Jaxton but he had answered.

"Bitch, what the fuck?!!" I whisper yelled.

"What do you want? It's past one in the morning."

"I am outside and you better come open this mother fucking door or i will cut you."

"What was that? Did you ask me to wake the entire house and tell them you are trying to sneak in because that is definitely what i heard." Oliver asked and i shut my eyes.

"Bitch." I mouthed. "I am sorry, please come open this damn door." I said as i made my way back to the front door.

Oliver hung up and a few seconds later, i heard the door click and ollie slowly opened the door. I walked in, closing it behind me and locking it.

"Why the hell didn't you sleep at one of their houses if you were gonna come home this late?!" Oliver whisper yelled.

"Why the hell did you sleep when I didn't tell you I won't be coming home?" I gave him a look.

Oliver rolled his eyes and walked to the kitchen. "Bitch, I can't with you."

"whatever." I sighed.

"So!" He turned to me with a big grin. "What was it like? The concert."

"Oh, Ollie, it was one of the best concerts ever." I replied with a smile as i followed him.

"And how many have you been to?" Ollie asked as he opened the kitchen cabinet gently so he wouldn't make any sound.

"Well, just two. Isabelle took me to go see Lady Gaga perform one time and let me tell you, it was one of the craziest experience ever because none of our parents knew and we had to lie we were going to a friend's house and then sneak back in, in the morning. I told my mom i was going to Isabelle's and Isabelle said we were going to her friends." I told him as i sat on one of the kitchen stools, a big smile on my face. "And then we went to the other town, it was a three hours drive." I said as he closed the kitchen cabinet.

"Oh my God." Ollie gasped as he walked over to the counter, standing across me. "This story just gave me a crazy deja vu." He chuckled as he placed the bag of cheetos he took on the table. "Oh!" He snapped his fingers. "My cousin did the same thing last night too!! He lied to everyone and went out and i mean, it is literally the same thing." He said and chuckled. "I wonder what his parents would think when they find out."

I laughed. "No fucking way, wow! Oh my God, imagine if your cousin's parents found out you made him go and then his brother finds out you lied and you were the cause and oh oh, what if your mother found out you encouraged sneaking out." I laughed still. "The drama!!! It would be the best episode of Bad Cupid ever."

Oliver frowned at me. "Best episode of what now?"

"The name of my show." I shrugged. "Cameron Turner came up with that." I smiled.

"You are so annoying." He tore the bag open, scowling at me.

"This just means, if you try to bring me down, i will take you with me, bitch." I said and he gave me the middle finger.

"Now, what time did Jaxton and my parents go to bed?"

"Well, my mom went to bed around eight thirty, yours went to bed around ten cause they were watching something called Daily pop and some other things on E!" He shrugged and put a cheeto into his mouth. "And Jaxton went to bed around.....ten thirty because he has school tomorrow and oh my God, i am going to be so bored tomorrow, I don't have you guys!" He gasped, his eyes widening in realisation. "What am i gonna do?!!" He asked a she put three cheetos in his mouth.

I rolled my eyes. "You can take a walk or go sightseeing with your mom. And since Jaxton went to bed by ten thirty, i can say i got home by ten thirty five. I'll sleep on the couch in the living room."

"I don't actually care where you sleep." Ollie said, shaking his head at me. "Now, tell me everything about the concert!!" He tempestuously asked.

"Oh, i have got photos too!!" I said and took out my phone, i unlocked it and opened the photo album and gave it to him. "Don't scroll past the concert photos cause y'all do too much." I warned him. "Anyways, so,"

****

"Boy, get your ass up. You are going to be late!!" Someone said and slightly slapped me across the cheek. I slowly opened my burning eyes and saw a blurry creature that looked like something from the greek myths until the creature became my mom.

"Ughhh." I groaned. "It is still early." I whined.

"No, it is seven thirty five." He said and i screamed and threw myself up. "

What?"

"Yeah," she nodded. My mom was all dressed up in a brown fitted dress and was fixing her earrings when i ran past her and up to my room. I pushed the door open and Jaxton was putting on his shoes.

"Dylan? You are here?" He looked shocked to see me while Oliver laid on the bed and kept texting

"Good morning, Elsa." Oliver greeted with a smile.

"Ughhh. Yes, Jaxton, i am." I replied him as i ran straight into the bathroom, shutting it and taking a quick shower.

Thirteen minutes later with Jaxton screaming at me to hurry up, i was all dressed up but Oliver wouldn't let me leave. He had my schoolbag and was telling Jaxton to take a photo. We were going to be late and while that was totally my fault, I didn't wanna get to school late today.

"Oliver!!! Seriously, if you don't put my goddamn backpack down!" I sneered at him.

Oliver scoffed. "Just chill, you weasel!! And jaxton, take the photo for the fucking love of Athena!"

Jaxton put the phone down and frowned at him. "Did you just swear with your grandmother's name?"

"Oliver, i need to leave now and i will beat the shit out of you with a belt if you don't give me my backpack." I yelled at him, already frustrated.

"One sec, chill out cousin. Jeez!" Ollie rolled his eyes at me.

"Jaxton? Really?" I turned to him. "You were literally screaming at me two seconds ago and now you are calm."

"I just want my own best friend to think i am never returning and i have moved here. I wanna caption this first day at my new school." Oliver grinned evilly.

My brows slowly rose. "Well, why didn't you say it was for an evil purpose? Jaxton take your time." I told him and Jaxton scoffed.

"Alright, Ollie. Now give me cute teenager starting a new school without knowing it is gonna be chaos and havoc and he is gonna end up hated and bullied." Jaxton said and I gasped and turned to him, raising my hand up.

"Heyyy, that was me when i came here!." I said and they both chuckled.

"Okay, here goes!" Ollie said and shut his eyes, flashing a smile as he held my backpack. Jaxton quickly took the photo with a smile and looked at it.

"Perfect." He smiled and handed the phone to Oliver.

"Now give me my backpack!!" I said and quickly pulled it off him.

"Boys!!! You are going to be late!!!" Mom yelled from downstairs. Jaxton and I quickly ran out of the room and down the stairs, straight to the living room where mom was.

"What is wrong with you boys?" She asked as she walked over to the kitchen. Mom looked really good today, with her dress and her grey hair bouncing carefully as she walked, she had red lipstick on and silver heels.

Jaxton and I looked at each other as we followed her from behind. "And where are you going?" I asked with a smirk.

"I have a meeting and this Friday is my restaurant's opening night, i hope you boys remember." she said and i gasped.

"Oh fuck, that is true." I smacked my forehead.

"She said 'opening night' like she's performing something." Jaxton whispered and i closed my mouth to stop myself from laughing.

"What is the name of your restaurant anyways?" Ollie asked as he appeared beside Jaxton .

Mom turned to us with a smile. "La Cocina Del Diablo." She replied as she walked into the kitchen.

"What does that mean?" Oliver asked, confused.

"It means, the Devil's kitchen." Jaxton answered with a sigh.

"Wait what? You changed it?" I frowned. "I mean i love the Spanish flavour but like, aren't you going universal? Like cooking every kind? Italian food, African food and all that." I questioned.

"Exactly why it is called the Devil's kitchen." She replied with a smile. "I like the Spanish translation so much, so i added it in a little bracket." She shrugged as she put a foodflask in her bag.

"Ah, makes sense. The Devil's Kitchen." I smiled. "I like it."

"Where's Sofía?" Ollie asked as he sat on one of the kitchen stools.

"Her dad took her to school." She answered.

"Okay, so breakfast." Jaxton sighed.

"Just take an apple each, isn't that what you teenagers do anyways?" She sad as she walked past us and towards the door. Once she opened it, she turned to us and said. "Meet me outside before i get into the car or no lunch money for you boys."

I quickly grabbed an apple while Jaxton took a banana and we both ran out so fast because we knew she wasn't bluffing.

"Bye Oliver!!" Jaxton and I screamed as we left.

I didn't even get to say goodbye to Davina.

****

"A banana. Because of you." Jaxton said with a sigh.

"Bitch, no one said you shouldn't have breakfast while i was in the bathroom." I scoffed as we walked into the school.

"Hey!" Tyler appeared in front of us with a big smile and a camera in his hand. The petite boy was dressed in a blue sweeter that was bigger than me which meant it was Christian's and a very visible hickey on his neck . "Say cheese!" He said and brought the camera to his face.

"What is the photo for?" Jaxton quickly questioned. "Not that i am trying to be rude."

"Oh, it is for memories." He replied with a smile and I quickly kissed Jaxton's cheek which made him chuckled. Tyler quickly took the photo and grinned. "Perfect."

"That is really sweet and smart, I didn't know you were doing that." I said to him and he shrugged.

"We are graduating soon, and sure this school was a hellhole but there are actually some good memories in his building, and besides it is the hell we would laugh at in five years time because we didn't have a normal high-school experience ." He replied. Jaxton and I slowly nodded because he did have a point.

"Valid point." Jaxton said.

"Well then, let us all take a photo. I mean, what memory would it be if I'm not in any with you." I told him and he grinned.

"Okay, let's do it." He said and moved closer to us, standing in our middle, he turned and rose the camera up like he was taking a selfie. Jaxton and I leaned a little because well Tyler had the height of a submissive in seven over ten of wattpad books and i am not gonna forget that he is a sub actually. Maybe I'll ask him later.

"Say, fuck high school." Tyler said and with a laugh we all said it and he took the photo. "I am so happy we are graduating but at the same time i will miss all your asses." Tyler said with a soft smile and slowly his lips started quivering. "Especially you," he looked at me. "You've been there for me every single time and you literally made my high school experience so much better and I don't know how to thank you enough." He swallowed, trying not to cry.

"Aw, don't make me cry too." I said and pulled him into a hug. "I love you and we are buddies, i will always have your back, boo."

"Thank you, Dylan."

"I'll take that." Jaxton said and took Tyler's camera and instantly took a photo. "This should be one of the memories." He said with a smile and we both chuckled.

"I want in." Christian said as he made his way towards us with opened arms.

"Bitch, if you don't get the fuck out." I said and Tyler laughed as he wiped his tears.

"Why is my baby crying?" Christian asked as he pulled him closer to him.

"I am not crying, i am just..." he sniffed. "Thanking Dylan for being an amazing friend to me." Ty said and I smiled

I swear these boys were cute.

"He really has been a blessing to some of us." Christian said and smiled at me. "Thank you, Dylan."

"Oh God, i do not want any praises, you all got through high school because you are bad bitches, now can someone tell me why class hasn't started and it is like past eight?" I demanded.

"That is true." Jaxton said as he looked around.

"They suddenly had a teacher's conference out of the blue, hopefully nothing is wrong." Christian said and i scoffed.

"It better not be. I am tired of the drama already and I just wanna go to college and be a motherfucking lawyer." I sighed.

"Dylan!" Jon called me. I turned to see him with a big smile walking towards us with his arms spread out. Tyler quickly took his camera from Jaxton and took a photo of Jon as he smiled.

"I am so excited for this." He said and looked at Christian. "I haven't taken a photo of you today so allow me."

Christian chuckled. "We graduate in June, Tyler, it's February."

"You'd be surprised at how fast june's gonna be here." He said and smiled at Jon who had gotten here. "Hey, Jon."

"Tyler, how are you?" He asked as he pulled me into a tight hug.

"Don't suffocate me." I said with a laugh but he just hugged me tighter till i stumbled and he stumbled, making us lose our balance and both landed on his floor.

Click. Click.

Tyler giggled. "I am enjoying this." He said and walked away with Christian.

"I hate you." I said with a laugh.

Jaxton kept laughing as he helped me get up while Jon got up on his own. Half the students in the hallway were staring at us and i know when we fell, everyone did stare but who cares.

"What the fuck?" I dusted my clothes.

"Sorry, i just miss you."

"We saw each other yesterday." I said and ruffled his hair and then the bell rang.

"Ugh, noooo." Jon cried.

"Know why we are resuming this late?" I asked him as he threw a hand over my shoulder and Jaxton's as well while we began walking to class.

"Not sure." Jon shrugged.

"The chair of the school board came." A voice behind us said, startling us. We all gasped in fear, letting each-other go as we all turned.

"Gah, you startled me." Jaxton groaned and his eyes once he saw Raven.

Raven smirked and locked arms with me. "Oh, you all relax. Anyways, i saw her and they must have some shit to deal with for them to delay us for extra thirty minutes." She said as we all continued our walk down the hall.

"Well, that better not be our business, i just wanna graduate." I said with a sigh.

"Tell me about it." Raven scoffed.

"Spartan women, unlike their Athenian counterparts, did receive a formal education that was controlled and conducted by the state. A lot of the public schooling gotten by the Spartan women revolved around physical education." Our new history teacher, Mr. Garden said as he pushed his glasses up. He was a tall man, even taller than i was, he had freckles and looked like he was in his forties. He had brown hair and was slim, he did look good in a suit, not gonna lie. 

"Until about the age of eighteen women were taught to run, throw a discus, wrestle, and also to throw weapons. The skills of these women were tested regularly in competitions such as the annual footrace at the Heraea of Elis." He said and as he turned around, i felt something hit my my left cheek.

I frowned and turned to my left, Henry furrowed his brows at me and looked at the floor. I followed his gaze and saw a white squeezed paper laying by my chair. I picked it up and opened it on my desk with a deep frown

"You look so serious, like they are talking about your family. Is there something i should know, Lord Eros of Olympus or wherever the heaven you are from."

Now, i never meant to smile, it slipped, my lips failed me but just for about two seconds before i turned to him and gave him the middle finger which he wiggled his brows at. I squeezed the paper and was about to throw it when Mr. Garden called my name.

"Dylan,"

I quickly turned to him and slowly put my hand down as the entire class fixed their gazes at me. "Since you know so much about the spartans to not pay attention, do you mind continuing from were i stopped!"

I smiled at him and shook my head. "Oh no, thank you but i am very fine, I would rather you continue, you teach it pretty well." I said and the class laughed.

Mr. Garden gave me a blank stare. "I insist."

"Mr. Garden, thank you for the opportunity but-

"Dylan."

"Okay." I sang in a whisper and stood up because i felt him getting impatient with me.

"Continue." He said and leaned on the table.

I slowly tilted my head to the side to glare at Henry who mouthed a "sorry". I ignored him and turned back to Mr. Garden with a smile.

"Well," i cleared my throat.

"Mr. Dexwall, if you do not know about this then you should be paying attention and not playing around, you should focus and do not forget you haven't written your finals yet before you act out. You might be in your senior year but you don't get to play around in my class." He said and i frowned at him, offended.  "I really am not like other teachers who would tolerate what you do, and yeah, i have heard about you." He said and i blinked, taken aback. "Now, as i was saying-"

"Apart from the physical education, the young girls were also taught how to sing, how to dance, and how to play instruments often by traveling poets such as Alcman or by the elderly women in the polis." I said, cutting him off. He looked up at me with a puzzled expression and I continued. "Unlike the male education, the Spartan system of education for the women was really strict because their purpose was to train future mothers of soldiers in order to maintain the strength of Sparta's phalanxes, which were essential to Spartan culture and defence." I said and flashed him a smile.

"Yeah, I still remember all i read from the internet and i also know these words you're teaching are very much from google cause they are really familiar but you don't see me saying anything because everybody gets to learn the best way they can" I shrugged. "Oh, and um, the people who told you about me should have told you that my last name is pronounced  Dexwell. Dylan Dexwell." I said and tilted my head to the side. "Sir." I added.

Mr. Garden swallowed and pushed his glasses up in embarrassment before nodding. "Um, let us talk about the men." He said and picked up a book from his desk.

I sat down with a smile of victory and slowly turned to look at Henry who had a proud smile on his face, he did a silent clap that almost made me smile but i rolled my eyes at him and turned my gaze back to Mr. Garden.

Class was over half an hour later and as i walked out with my backpack, Henry suddenly appeared beside me. "Hey." He smiled at me but i just sighed.

"Go away."

"Look, i am so sorry about what happened in the class, I didn't mean for that to happen." He said in all sincerity and faked a smile at me.

"Oh, it's okay." I shrugged. "I'm not mad, I don't think Mr. Garden likes me."

"Yeah, I thought he would be cool."

I sighed. "I guess it's just gonna be Mr. Rowen and Mrs. Wilder who loves me."

"You forgot the principal." Henry stated and i gasped.

"How could I forget him." I said and he laughed.

I suddenly noticed the shirt Henry was putting on today, it was kinda different from what he used to wear to school. The shirt was multicoloured and it looked really nice on him, i smiled.

"I like your shirt, it's...different."

He looked down at it and smiled. "Thanks," he said and his eyes met mine. "You noticed."

"Well, who wouldn't." I snorted.

"No one actually." He chuckled softly. "Just you."

I began to walk slowly as i looked at him, a fake smile suddenly fixed on my face. "Well, a-anyways, i have to head to my next class, so i guess i will see you later."

"Oh, uh, sure. I will see you later, my class is...that way." He said and pointed to the left.

"Yeah," i took out the squeezed paper from my pocket and threw it at his face. "See you later, doofus." I said and spun around, walking to my next class.

****

"Have you all noticed how close Quincy and Bruce are?" Gwen asked and we all turned to table Bruce was at, in the cafeteria. He was seated with Gwen and they were both talking about something, or Quinn was talking with a big smile on his face while Quinn laughed.

"They look cute together." I said, smiling.

"Ew." Gwen grimaced.

"Imagine they decide to team up and destroy Eastwood high." Raven said with a chuckle.

"Where the hell is Jaxton?" I groaned while the others ate the lunch.

"Rehearsals." Gwen answered and just then Jaxton ran to our table.

"Hey, guys." Jaxton greeted and sat next to me. "Sorry, rehearsals took more time than it should have." He sighed. "So, what are we talking about?" He questioned.

"How Bruce and Quinn might end up being Eastwood high's Joker and Harley Quinn," Gwen said and snapped her fingers. "Oh, see! Harley Quinn."

"Give them a break, Bruce has been through a lot and although it is no excuse for him to bully kids, i do think he is trying to change and everyone deserves a second chance." Jaxton said and i smiled.

"See why he is my favourite?" I said and Jon gasped loudly.

"I feel betrayed." He said and i huffed.

"Anyways, Jaxton, i think it is time we tell them." I said and Jaxton smiled.

"Tell us what?" Raven asked.

"Well, we were gonna tell you guys yesterday but Dylan had to go." Jaxton said. Their eyes were all fixed on us, waiting patiently yet impatiently for whatever we wanted to say.

"I hope this is good news." Raven said.

"It is, Dylan is smiling." Gwen said and Raven huffed.

"Dylan smiles when it is bad news too." She replied.

"Guys! Chill." I said and Jon groaned.

"Just tell us." He whined.

"Well," I looked at Jaxton who smiled.

"The Dexwells are adopting Sofía and I." He said and Raven's jaw dropped, Gwen's brows rose and her eyes widen while Jon had all combined together.

"Oh my God!!" Raven grinned widely. "Congratulations."

"What? That is amazing." Jon chuckled.

"They've always been like parents to me and never treated me or Sofía like we were just...you know? Just people who know Dylan, but yeah, i am happy to be among their family." Jaxton said and i held his hand in mine.

"I am happy for you, Jaxton, you deserve to he happy." Gwen said and stretched her hand across the table, holding Jaxton's hand.

"He has always been a part of the family and so from now, you will have two Dexwells as best friends." I said with a grin.

Jon chuckled. "It is the best thing. Come here." Jon got up and walked over to where we were.

"What are you-" jaxton trailed off once Jon pulled him into a hug, well half of him since he was standing and Jaxton was sitting. He ruffled jaxton's hair, making it a mess and we all laughed.

While laughing, my eyes travelled across the cafeteria and i jammed Henry's. He was on his table with his friends and Zach was telling him something that seemed to fun because he was using hand gestures and explaining with them. I stopped laughing and just smiled, Henry's hands were on the table and his cheeks rested on them as he looked at me with a smile.

He wiggled his brows at me and i frowned, pouting. I looked away from him and back at my friends awkwardly while they talked and laughed, i chuckled softly and slowly looked back at him, he wiggled his brows again and i grinned.

"Stop staring." I mouthed at him and he just shrugged. Zach stopped talking and once i noticed he was about to turn back, i quickly looked back at my friends and pretended to be involved in whatever they were currently arguing about.

But yeah, i still stole one more glimpse and this time he wasn't looking.

What the hell was this?

****

"So, none of you are coming home with me?" I asked them as we all stood outside the school.

"I still have rehearsals." Jaxton shrugged.

"We have practice." Jon sighed.

"Same." Raven and Gwen said in unison.

"This is also one of the biggest times for cheerleaders." Gwen said with a shrug.

"We all have scouts coming, so." Jon shrugged.

"I understand, boys. Now go ahead."

"I don't understand how you are not in any club though." Jon said with a frown.

"I was in drama, that is enough." I said with a chuckle. "See y'all later, I'll see you at home, I'll just go hang out with Oliver, he's probably dying of boredom." I said and hugged them all. "Bye, babies."

"See you, later." Jon pinched my cheek softly.

"Oh and Gwen, i will need your help, you and Raven will have to gather a couple people tomorrow, so we can make a little decoration for valentine's day." I said and they both nodded.

"Sure." Raven smiled.

"Later, suckers." I said and turned.  They all went back into the school while i began leaving for home, there were a couple students waving at me like we knew each other and i had to return it because as class president, I didn't wanna be a bitch.

"Dylan." I heard and swiftly turned. I knew it was Henry, why had i turned that way when he called my name? Why so fast? Goddamn it!

"Hmm? Hey, Henry, what's up?"

"Uh, you need a ride home?" He asked as he approached me.

I blinked. "Uh no, no, i am fine, i need to stretch my legs anyways."

"Oh, that's cool." He smiled. "Um," he looked down and back at me. "I uh, i was kinda wondering if maybe you wanna hang out later this evening? I have some uh, really cool stuffs i think you should see. We could....just stay at HOES." He said with a shrug.

I'm not gonna lie, he looked cute while trying to act smooth and was nervous. I was about to say 'sure' but then I couldn't, i couldn't keep hanging with my ex, could i? Plus, I needed to see Trevor.

"Sorry, I can't. I am meeting up with Trevor." I said and he looked a little shocked but quickly covered it up.

"Oh, uh, of course, that is fine. I will see you tomorrow."

"Mmhmm, sure." I faked a smile as he began walking backwards.

"Say hi to Travis for me." He said as he spun around and began walking away.

"It is Trevor!!" I shouted to his hearing.

"That's what i said!!" He yelled back without looking back.

I scoffed and walked back home.

****

"You really made these brownies?" I asked as i took another bite.

"For the fifth time," Trevor said and turned to me, pointing a cooking spoon at me. "Yes, i did."

"I still can't believe it, it tastes so good." I moaned as i took another bite.

I had gone home earlier to hang out with Oliver but my parents had taken him, his mom and Sofía to the movies and I wasn't gonna stay at home alone, so i went to Trevor's. He was making a meal for us and had given me the leftover brownies from yesterday, or maybe i had taken it from the fridge.

"Fuck! I hope you don't mind me eating everything." I told him as i ate.

"You shouldn't eat everything now, what would happen to the special dish I'm making?" He asked as he began cutting the carrots and peas.

I snorted. "What is that? Henry's special mistake?" I chuckled and my eyes widen once I realised what i had said.

Trevor turned to me and i fixed my face, pretending I wasn't shocked by what i had just said.

"What?" Trevor asked and I looked at him.

"What?"

His brows slowly furrowed. "Did you say 'Henry's special mistake?" He asked and i frowned as well, pretending to be shocked by what he said.

"What? No, i said Airy's special mistake." I huffed.

"What is that?"

"Airy is a who! And she was my friend back in Seattle. Bitch couldn't cook to save her life." I chuckled.

"Mmhmm, that kinda reminds me of you."

"Fuck you, Trevor." I said and with a laugh he turned back to his ingredients.

I let out a silent sigh of relief and decided to continue the story about my friend Airy.

"Airy once made a dish which she said was special and she learned on YouTube, she served Isabelle and it looked and tasted like a mistake more than something special."

"That's when the name was born?" He questioned with a grin and i chuckled.

"Yeah, Airy's special mistake."

"Wait," he stopped cutting. "Airy?" He turned to me, confused and i faked a laugh.

"I know, I wonder what her parents were thinking." I shook my head.

"Well, i feel bad for her." He said and continued while i swallowed the lump in my throat.

"Me too." I said and stared down at the brownies.

Trevor hates liars and i just lied to him because i let this shit slip.

***

"And so your parents decided to adopt them?" Trevor asked while we watched a movie.

"Mmhmm." I nodded.

"That is beautiful ."

Trevor was sitting on the floor with his legs spread apart while I laid in between his legs, the back of my head resting on his chest as we ate the delicacy he had prepared .

Hearty beaf stew.

It had so many meat and potatoes as well and damn, i hadn't eaten this before. He was a good cook and i mean the kind that should have a restaurant of his own.

"How did you learn to cook like this?" I asked as i looked up at him.

"Well, my mom is an amazing cook and her food always feels like home."

"Hmm, sounds like my mom." I said with a small smile.

He chuckled and began playing with my hair. "I took cooking classes and learned a lot from YouTube and my aunt who is a real chef and voila, that is how i became this good."

"I wish i was like you, I have a chef for a mom and all i do is eat. I mean, i recently started learning to cook some certain kind of food, you know? But still, one would think i would know everything about meals which kind of makes sense because i should."

Trevor laughed. "Don't stress about it, love." He said and kissed my head. "Maybe one day you would be the one to cook me something because I ain't your goddamn chef and this place isn't called Trevor's kitchen." He said and i giggled.

"Well, where is the fun in that if I don't come here and watch you cook something for me."

Trevor gasped dramatically. "Oh my God, you only come here for my food?"

I snorted. "Duh, what did you think?"

"I thought you liked me?!!" He dramatically yelled.

I gasped, moving away from him and turning to face him. "Trevor, i could never like you, you only cook nice meals and that is why i am here."

"You know, i thought you were different."

"Well, oops." I shrugged and picked up my plate of food but he took it away from me and my eyes widen.

"No, no, Trevor, I don't play with food. Gimme!"

"Nope." He said and began eating my food.

I legit screamed while he laughed. I took it away from him and placed down, glaring at his beautiful face.

"I hate you."

"No, you don't." He said and pulled me closer. "You think i am adorable, like i think you are."

"No, I don't."

He wiggled his brows at me. "Yes, you do."

I giggled. "No, I don't."

He wiggled them again and I laughed, he kissed me once and then twice and then again. "Dylan." He called as i moved closer to him, facing him and my legs stretched on his.

"Yes, Trevor."

"Do you wanna make out with this handsome looking man?"

"Where is he?" I asked as I looked around.

He flicked my nose and i cried, pouting at him. Trevor just smiled at me while i rubbed my nose like a damn child.

"You are so fucking cute."

"I know, and i am also-" he instantly kissed me, shoving my words back into my throat. 

"You talk too much." He said and I smiled.

"Sorry, bad habits." I said and kissed him this time, he kissed me back and with his arms around my waist, gently laid me to the ground and not for a second, did our lips part.

I wrapped my legs around him while he laid on me, i could feel his hard on press against mine and it only made my dick twitch. He was putting on a shorts, so it was really all out there and i felt it slowly take it's time as it erected. Trevor's hands found it's way into my shirt and to my nipples and as he squeezed them, i moaned into his mouth. I felt him smile but he didn't stop and damn did that make my semi hard dick just stop being semi hard,  it was just begging to be free because semi wasn't it anymore.

I moaned again once he rubbed them and while he did, i trailed my hand down his body and into his shorts, gripping his hard member and let me just say this because sometimes it seems black guys don't get the hype because truly, they either have the whole goddamn world down there or they can hit it the way you thought was impossible or they can do both.

Trevor let out a moan and i swear he had one of the sexiest moans. Another fact that i have should put out there is that it is okay to MOAN! You don't gotta hold it back in because you're a top or a "man". What the hell is that even?

I mean, I can't relate because every guy that has been inside me couldn't dare hold back their moans. I always hit different , you know? But still.

Wait, is this my mind diary?

Trevor took off my shirt and I mean he was shirtless already so less work for me. His lips found it's way to my nipples and he licked them before sucking on them. My eyes did a one eighty and got stuck at the back of my head because it did feel like heaven while he sucked them so good. A loud moan escaped my lips while I stroked him.  He moved backwards and i frowned in confusion but then he helped me pull off my pants and i swear i need to start wearing shorts to his place because these pants are just not needed.

He took off his shorts exposing his large member and i took off my briefs as well, he laid back on me and kissed me, his erected dick grinding against mine and fuck, the feeling of frotting was one of the best. I moaned into his mouth while he continued and then inserted a finger into my hole, i drew in a breath as he began trusting his finger inside me and then he added another and I shut my eyes.

"Look at me." He said, breathlessly.  I didn't need to be told twice, i did and while he kept trusting his fingers inside me, i let out several moans.

"Fuuccck." I pulled him closer.

"Fuck, where the hell are my condoms, i swear i should have them all over the house." He said and i laughed.

"Trevor, this ain't the time to joke."

He snickered. "Sorry, sorry. Imma just carry you up to my room."

Make out, he said.

Make out, I said.

****

"So, valentine's day is in two days." Trevor said as he wrapped his arms around me while he leaned against his car. He had given me a ride home and now he didn't wanna let me go like i had not spent four hours at his place.

"Mmhmm, it is." I nodded and wrapped my arms around his neck. "And as class president, I have a shit ton of work to do at school."

"The whole school decoration thing?"

"Yup." I nodded.

"Trust me, it will be fun doing that." He said and i shrugged slightly.

"Maybe."

"Anyways," he sang. "Do you wanna go out with me on valentine's day? I have to tell you now so you don't say you are busy then." He said and i laughed.

"Where are we gonna do?" I asked and he sighed.

"Truthfully, I really do not know yet but i will figure something out and if you do please tell me and it shouldn't have anything to do with archery, Dylan, I am warning you." He said and I laughed.

"No promises, I'm probably horrible now."

"I doubt that, my beautiful green arrow," he beamed, then shook his head a second later. "No wait! White arrow." He smiled.

"You are something else."

"I know." He said and kissed me. 

"Wanna come in? I'm sure Sofía would be happy to see you, and Jaxton too, and my Dad, and I could introduce you to my cousin." I said and he sighed, then nodded.

"Take me inside, your highness." He said and with a snicker, i held his hand and led him to my door. Today, i had taken a spare key just incase, so I opened the door myself and walked in with him.

"I'm home!!" I announced as I headed straight for the kitchen.

The kitchen was not just for cooking at the Dexwell's house, it was the place for gossip and for every kind of talk. Whenever we wanted to have a discussion, we just automatically saw ourselves heading to the kitchen and that was because it was the best place to do any kind of talks. There was a fridge and cabinets filled with different kind of snacks and drinks to have when someone is spilling tea so i knew my family was there.

"Dylan!!!" Sofía ran towards me with a big smile, i picked her up and kissed her on the cheek.

"How are you, sweetie."

"Good! I saw a movie today with daddy and, and Olivo and Aunt Gillian."

"You had fun?"

"So much." She threw her hands up with a giggle. "I laughed and the movie was very funny."

"You liar." Oliver said from where he sat. "You slept off. You only watched the trailers and the beginning, you didn't even see one character."

"I did. You lying, I'm not lying." Sofía pouted at him.

"Don't pay him any attention, Sofía, he's jealous of how precious you are." I told her and she smiled.

"I don't like Oliver no more, he stole my popcorn."

"I did not!" Oliver gasped in shock. "You ate everything!"

"Then how did i eat everything if i was asleep?!" She retorted and i arched my brow at Oliver.

"She makes a good point." I said and Trevor laughed. Sofía finally noticed Trevor and grinned widely.

"Trevie." she squealed, as she calls him. He took her from me and she began pinching his cheeks softly.

"How are you, princess."

"Good. I saw a movie today." She told him.

I approached Jaxton who was smiling at us. "How was rehearsals?"

"Good, i really love the song choices." He huffed. "It is so good." He said and looked at Trevor. "Hello, Trevor."

Trev looked away from Sofía and smiled at Jaxton and grinned at him. "Hey, Jaxton, how are you?"

"Same old." He shrugged. "How are you?"

"Good actually." He smiled.

"Trevor, meet my cousin, Oliver." I said as I ruffled Oliver's head.

"So it is true about all the boys here being hot." Oliver whispered to me as he shook Trevor's hand. "Nice to finally meet you." He said and Trevor gave him a sweet smile.

"Same here. Dylan has told me a few things about you."

"Good things," Oliver said and looked at me with a glare. "I hope."

"Not to worry, it's nothing too embarrassing." Trevor said as he put Sofía down.

Oliver gasped while I laughed. "Where's mom and Dad?" I questioned. "And your mom and Davina?" I asked Oliver.

"Apparently, my mother has a friend here and after the movie, she went to hers." Oliver said and rolled his eyes. "I called her and she said she'll be home soon."

"Well, seems you're the only lonely one here."

"It wasn't so boring today, mom and i did go out together." Oliver said with a shrug.

"And where is my mom?"

"Your mom is here." Mom said from behind me. I turned to see her coming straight to the kitchen, dressed in a white top and some jeans while carrying Davina.

"Hey, mom." I walked over to her and took Davina from her hands, showering her with kisses.

"I just went to get an apple." Mom said while i played with Davina, who put her hands in my mouth while she laughed.

"Hi, sweetie." I kissed her severally and she began to laugh.

"Hello, Mrs. Dexwell." Trevor greeted.

"Trevor, how are you?" She smiled at him.

"I am good, how are you?."

"Well, living. You look a little tired, I can make you something to eat." She said as she made her way into the kitchen.

"Oh no," Trev smiled. "I already ate."

I nodded. "Mom, he is an amazing cook, you both should have a competition one day." I said and gasped, i turned my head and looked at Davina with wide eyes. "You are so right, Davina the witch. They should totally have a competition some time and I will be the judge, I like that idea." I said and Davina said some baby words. I pointed at her and looked back at that.

"This girl is smart as heck."

"Dylan, shut up." Trevor and my mom said in unison and I pouted while Jaxton and Oliver laughed.

"Damn, it wasn't my idea." I said with a frown. "Anyways , how was the meeting?" I asked mom and gestured for Trevor to sit on one of the kitchen stools.

"Thanks." He mouthed and sat down, he patted his lap for me to sit on it and i rolled my eyes at him.

Not in front of her, she would tease me forever.

"It was great, i went with Dominic and some chefs will be coming on Friday. I am so excited, the restaurant is perfect, everything is, i think." She sighed.

"If you need any help with anything, I can help." Trevor said. "Like Dylan said, I know a thing or five thousand when it comes to cooking." He said and i walked over to him like a proud partner and patted his shoulder.

"He does."

Mom furrowed her brows. "I may be stereotyping you right now because of the fact that you come from money but then, maybe we should have that competition, some day." She said and i grinned.

"Oh, it's gonna get messy." Jaxton said and looked at Oliver who grinned.

"I wanna watch so bad."

"I just want food." I shrugged. "As long as I am tasting everything, i am good." I said and looked at Davina. "Right? Right, you beautiful demon." I tickled her and she laughed.

A knock came on the door and Jaxton sighed. "I'll go get it, y'all wait here." He said and hurried to the door, he opened it and a red haired walked in.

"Good evening, Dexwells." Raven pushed her hair back as she made her way towards us. "Sorry for coming unannounced." She said and once she saw Trevor, she smiled genuinely at him. "Hey, Trevor, good to see you again."

"And you too, Raven." He smiled back at her.

"Hello, Rave." Mom gave her a small wave.

"Hello, Mrs. Dexwell. How's the restaurant coming up?"

"Good."

"Stressed out?" She questioned.

"A little, yeah. Thankfully, my husband didn't have work today and so he cooked." She replied. "He didn't want me rushing to the kitchen the second i walk into the house."

"I want a man like him." Raven said with a sigh and mom laughed

"Aren't you dating a guy called Zach?" Oliver asked her.

Raven froze. "Yeah, well, I didn't mean like....I- you know what? Never mind." She said and looked into her purse.

"What brings you here, Raven?" Jaxton asked.

"My father asked me to give the Dexwell's an invitation card." Raven said and took out a red and white really fancy and rich looking card from her bag and handed it to my mom.

"An invitation to what?" Mom asked as she took the card. "Damn, this looks really good."

"Wow." Jaxton exclaimed.

"Every year, my parents throw a party on valentine's day and so many of his business partners and a few celebrities show up. It is a night of elegancy and acting like you're attending a party hosted by Klaus Mikaelson." Raven answered.

"Yeah, those parties are always something else." Jaxton chuckled. "The best every year, is it?" He asked her and she nodded.

"The best every year." She repeated.

"A masquerade ball?" Mom asked as she read the invitation, she looked up from the card and at Raven with a grimace. "Do i look like Belle to you?

"Not exactly a masquerade ball, it is just a mask and formal dresses. You don't need to dress like belle or cinderella at all, maybe like Beyoncé.  You know what i mean." She shrugged.

"In two days? I don't think i have a dress to wear for that. This is shortly announced, why take so much time to send us this?" Mom questioned, cocking her head to the side.

"Well," Raven cleared her throat. "It.....is..complicated."

"Of course." Oliver gave a small nod.

"My Dad already has a wine coloured suit prepared for Dylan since he is his favourite. Which means  you have to be there Mrs. Dexwell."

"Wait what?" I spoke.

"Yup." Raven nodded. "You are so damn lucky he loves you."

"Raven. Where will i get a dress to fit the theme in two days?"  Mom questioned her.

"Mom!" I called and her attention moved to me. "You have a lot of dresses and haven't worn some of them, I'm sure there's gotta be something."

"I'll check and if I don't, I'm not gonna stress." Mom announced

"When do I receive my suit?" I asked Raven.

"Tomorrow." Raven answered instantly. "He had one actually made for you."

"Wow." I smiled.

"Mmhmm." Raven nodded. "Now that i have delivered this, i really have to go, I still have some errands to run." She sighed. "Please. Please. Please. You all have to come, it wouldn't be fun without you guys there. I mean, my Dad already knew Dylan wouldn't say no but please Bonnie, you all have to come!" She begged.

"How is this year any different?" Oliver asked.

"The Dexwell's moved here, that's the difference and you always want to be around them." Raven answered.

Mom sighed. "Alright, love. I will see what i can do about this. I will speak to Matthew as soon as he wakes up and then on Wednesday, we'll know if it is possible or not so."

Raven nodded. "Dylan, please make sure your parents don't say no." Raven told me and I smiled.

"We are all coming."

She grinned and hugged me. "Now i gotta run, bye everybody." She said as she literally began running out.

"Well then," I smirked at Trevor. "I think we finally have somewhere to go on valentine's day together."

Trevor slowly smiled. "I already have a feeling it's gonna be epic."

"Me too." I beamed.
