COLE

"Hey uhm, guys I need to tell you something", I said.

"What's that?".

"There's this kid you guys pick on, his name is uhm, Nate", I said.

"Oh yeah the Dude we paint dipped on, what's up?".

"Can y'all like, chill on him, he's kinda a family friend of mine and, his mom is really complaining about his mental health", I said.

Andre laughed, "Since when the fuck did we care about mental health", he said.

"Look just cut him some slack ok, go pick on some other dudes".

"Who is he talking about?", Newton asked.

"That gay dude", Kendal said.

"Oh oh right right, of course how could I forget, dude he is so cool to play around with, I can't stop messing with that dude", Newton said.

"Just cut him some slack okay? plus he is tutoring me".

"You got a tutor?", Newton asked.

"Yeah, he's like the smartest kid in this school, he's my only way that Harvard", I said.

"Why the fuck will you get a gay dude to tutor you, do you want him to jerk off to you pronouncing words or saying his name?", Andre asked and they laughed.

"No it's not that it's just... he's the only person I know that can do this well, and you know I need to go to Harvard ", I stated.

"No wonder you saved him today, I was wondering since when did Cole Michaelson Start doing Charity?".

"Dude it's not that okay I just... ughh fuck just do this one thing for me please", I said.

"Fine, we'll back down on your little tutor boy until you clear your papers ", Kendal said.

"Thank you ", I said.

Almost immediately, my door forcefully swung open.

Everyone jumped.

"Dad the fuck?".

"What are you doing? why Is the door locked?", he asked.

"Locked? dude you just threw it open, what the fuck?".

"Aren't you supposed to be reading? been talking about Harvard all year and yet nothing, your academics are as sad as your life", he said.

I stood up.

"Let's go talk outside", I said.

"No why would we do that when we can do it here? right now? or what you don't want Mr shaming me in front of your friends?".

Unfortunately they are the ones ashamed of you, and not me.

"Guys can you please excuse me", I said and they stood up to leave.

.My father shut the door blocking them from leaving.

I exhaled, "I got a tutor", I said calmly.

"Who?".

"Nate Thompson, your friend, Mr Thompson son", I said.

"You guys use to be best of friends until you decided to leave him and now look at your life", the way he slurred, I knew he was drunk, again.

it was better not to say anything while he was drunk.

Just ignore him.

"I'll do better ", I said.

"You better clear your results else I promise you that I'm gonna make your life a living hell ", he said and stormed out of my room, falling at a point and then stood up.

I sighed and laid down on my bed.

"Dude, don't worry we've got you, I promise we won't pick on that Nate dude again, infact we'll make him tutor you for sure, can't let you live any longer with that man", Kendal said.

"I can't even stay here any longer, it's like the more I stay the more it gets worse".

"You can come stay at mine till whenever, my mom likes you and she makes good pancakes ", Newton said.

I shook my head, "Naaa, I don't want to inconvenience anyone ", I said.

"Well if you ever change your mind the offer is still open", Newton said.

Am hour later they left my house leaving me all alone in this lonely mansion with my sick in the head Dad.

I looked my room and went to the roof top to smoke.

She was there as always.

"You got your own blunt today?", she asked.

I smirked and showed her mine.

"Good cuz I finished the one I got for you ", she said and I chuckled.

"Heard your Dad screaming a while ago ", she said.

"Talking about my grades, but I got a tutor ", I said.

"Really? who is she?".

I chuckled, "A he, my old friend Nate", I said.

She smirked.

"What did you promise him?".

"That my friends will stop bullying him", I said.

"That's a crazy deal, I would have asked for like a million dollar ", she said.

"He's rich, doesn't really need that shit", I stated.

I hugged her and leaned on her.

"I've missed you", I said honestly.

"You know where to find me you just never show up", she said.

"In your bedroom?", I asked pretending like I didn't know what she was talking about.

"I'm not gonna fuck you Cole, and you know it"

"Never say never", I said and winked and she chuckled

"You are the gayest straightest guy I've met", she said.

"That's the sexy thing about being bisexual", I said.

"You're not Bisexual you're just attracted to Nate, you haven't found any other guy attractive since 5 years now".

"I have, there's this dude that winked at me in the strip club the other day".

"What was he doing?".

"Dancing on the pole",I said.

She rolled her eyes at me, he's a stripper, of course he's gonna be attractive, my God open your eyes you damn fool".

"I don't know okay, I don't really wanna figure out if I'm bisexual or not, I just want things to remain This way and not further complicate things", I said.

"And if your Dad ever finds out?", she asked.

I did. a sign of my throat cutting.

"So how are you going to sit back and watch Nate tutor you without trying to kiss him because I tried tutoring you and you almost fucked me".

"It's not my fault you can't resist my charm", I teased.

"I think I can manage, I mean he doesn't like me so .. it's just tutoring", I said.

"It's just tutoring", she said mocking me.

Almost immediately, we saw her parents car drive in.

"Oh shit my parents are back, I have to go, does my breath smell like weed?", she asked.

"Yes", I said laughing and she groaned.

"I'll go eat garlic or something, bye Cole, see you tomorrow", I said and she used the tree to go into her house.

"Bye Abby", I said and she disappeared, leaving me alone to my thoughts
