Steve P.O.V
"Steve!!..." My mom calls for the forth time. She never joke with school and never allow us to miss a day even when we are sick. I can remember when one of my little sister broke her leg while playing in the backyard, I had to carry her on my back to her school. Even when people insult her for this she didn't care. All she want is for her children to be educated.
"Steve you need to be fast, boy! You don't wanna see up there" I could hear her scream downstairs. I quickly grab my bag, put on my recommended glasses and head downstairs.
"How come you woke up late?" My mother asked me immediately she saw me coming down the stairs.
"Sorry mom, I forgot to set my alarm" I tell her and she roll her eyes.
"Just go, your bother is waiting for you in the car!"
"Okay" I turn to leave
"Wait you forgot your breakfast" I quickly grab it from her. I could see my dad in the living room reading newspaper as he always does Every morning. I greet him by saying good morning and he reply me by raising his hand without taking his eyes off the newspaper. I storm out of the house and was welcome by the hot sun. The sun is too hot I had to raise my hand to block it. I could hear my elder brother playing a loud music in the car and my younger twin sisters complaining.
"Turn it off!" The stubborn one Abigail who broke her leg the other day shout after I enter the car.the other one Emma was just quiet as she kept staring outside the window. Her quietness disturbs me sometimes. They are still in junior school and are well know in their School. Abigail the troublesome one and also the youngest one among the twins defends Emma whenever there is a problem. No one dares lay a hand on her or her sister. Emma on the other side was extremely brilliant and has a sharp tone whenever she speaks. Her words sometime made her teacher to study more. Emma spend most of her time reading just like my father.
"Please turn it off...I don't wanna have headache before having my classes" I say to my brother Tony. My ear is very sensitive, that's why I always avoid noise.
He started the car without turning the music down, seeing that he was not listening I use my hand to cover my ears. Abi kept screaming at the back telling my brother to turn off the music. I look at Tony who was dancing slightly at the music before I Swiftly turn it off myself.
"What the fuck?!" Tony look at me angrily.
"Can't you hear us complaining?" I ask with a frown. I expected him to shout and insult me or turn the music back on but surprisingly, he didn't reply.
Tony and I goes to the college. He is two years older than me. I just got admitted last year and trust me the school never do me any good. Tony is one of the popular and handsome guys in school. The mole on his ear and his pink lips drives girls crazy. I can still remember when he Pierce his ear, my mom literally go crazy over it, she decided not to give him food for over a week which didn't affect him a bit. Only God knows where he sees money.
I on the other hand do get attentions from girls but I usually shy away when ever the try to flirt with me or sometimes I just ignore them. Of course girls in our college loves play boy. Some guys in my age insult me that I have a nice body and a pretty face for nothing.
"Steven..." I hate it when they call my name in full and he knows that, I look at him to hear what he got to say. "I need to talk to after we drop these chicks"
"Who are you calling chicks?...chick" Abi scream behind our back.
"Say one more word back there and I'll cut off your tougue!" Tony warn as Abi hiss. I hate going to school with them, I always wish to have my own car or bike but my mom always disagrees whenever I tell her. She always says she want us to get use to ourselves which was never working.
10 minutes passes by with silence in the car, we finally get to the twin's School. We watch them get out of the the car and enter their school with Abi holding Emma's hand. Tony start the car and we zoom off.
"I won't be coming to school today, I have somewhere to go" Tony says after a few seconds of silence in the car.
"What!...I can't cover up for you again, what if I get caught, I'll be in big trouble beside I have my own problem to..."
"Hey...calm down nobody is getting caught okay, this would be the last time I promise"
I chuckle "You said that the last time you missed school" I roll my eyes.
"Okay...this will be the last last time...I promise promise"
"Do you think I'm joking?" He never take me serious.
I was almost caught in one of his class and that day was not funny.
"Sorry, I and my girlfriend had an issue, I just need to visit her that's all. I'll be in school before you finish your classes"
"What do you mean you have issues with Vivian" what is he saying? His girlfriend Vivian visited yesterday and they don't look like they have any issues to me.
"No....pttfff... I'm going to visit Sarah, her hostel is near the school."
"Oh my God how many girlfriend do you have...beside Vivian is a really nice girl, why can't you just date only her" I raise my eyebrow.
He roll his eyes, it was obvious he didn't want to answer the question. "Dude you ask a lot of questions.. well I don't know the number of girlfriends I have and also I can't date only Vivian she behaves like saint whenever I try to touch her"
"She's practically the best girl for you...she sweet, smart and lovely"
He scoff "what do you know single boy?"
He is right what do I know, I'm always shy when it comes to girl. I can't even talk to one without starmaring. The only girl I know I can talk to is Lydia, she is the nicest girl I've ever meet. We are so close in school.
"Oh! That reminds me..." Tony break my train of thought. "Your fat ass friend came visiting yesterday"
Oh my God! I forgot about Chris, we had a an assignment to talk about and some books to read. "Shit! Why didn't you tell me?".
