Chapter 1
“Kings! Wake up!” I heard as Owen pounded on my door.
Owen Michaels has been my best friend since we were little, we went to preschool together and hit it off immediately. When all the shit was happening with my parents he stood there with me and he’s the one that told his parents so I could stay with them and since then they’ve been my second family. About two years ago when me and Owen were fourteen he came out as gay and his whole style changed, he’s wacky as shit.
I walked out in my sweats and a crop top that I slept in and saw him fully showered and clothed.
He had bleach blonde hair and brown eyes. He was wearing a cropped pink thin hoodie and some jean shorts.
“Oh fuck no, you’re not going out in public with me looking like that, these people don’t know you like I do retard.” I said and he gasped with his hand on his chest.
“I look very stylish right now.” He said and I laughed.
“Maybe back in DC but these people are different and don’t know you like I do.” I said and he shrugged.
“How are they gonna get to know me if they don’t see me for me?” He asked and I sighed.
“At least change out of shorts.” I said and he huffed before going to change into some tight jeans and a black crop top with hoop earrings and a little bit of eyeliner with full makeup. “Okay fine, let’s go eat.” I said and he nodded before we walked out to the breakfast table.
“Hey mom and dad.” I said as I sat down at the table.
I call them mom and dad because they’re more parents than mine, don’t get me wrong, I loved my dad but he was distant and he isn’t here anymore.
“Hey sweety, you two ready for the first day at the new school? At least you only have half of the year until summer break.” She said and I nodded.
“Bullshit Kings, you just woke up.” Owen said and I rolled my eyes.
“You take more time to get ready in the mornings than me.” I said and he nodded.
“Beauty takes time.” He said, puckering his matte purple lips.
“Oh I know.” I said. “You used to hog the bathroom.”
“Okay you two,” Karen laughed, “Eat your oatmeal so you can go get ready, school starts soon.”
“Okay.” I said and ate my food before going and getting in the shower.
When I got out I put on some tight black ripped jeans and a white tube top with a cropped black jean jacket over it. I put my hair in a high ponytail and put in my silver hoops.
I put on my black vans and walked out where the James Charles wannabe was waiting for me.
When we walked out we got into his black mustang convertible.
“Are you ready for our first day, baby girl?” He asked and I shrugged.
“I mean, no one here’s gonna know about my dad or mom… I hope. And besides, how bad can a new school be? We’ve done it every time we went from elementary to middle to high school.” I said back as he pulled out of the driveway.
“Yeah but then we were going with the whole school.” He said and I shrugged.
“What about going into elementary school?” I asked.
“Hell, we didn’t give a shit.” He said and I nodded. “So how many dicks are you gonna take to the throat at this school you slut?” He asked and I rolled my eyes.
“Okay, that was one guy.” I said, flipping him off.
“In the janitor’s closet.” He said and I rolled my eyes.
“Shut up Owen.” I said pushing him away. “I’m not the slut out of the two of us.”
“You’re right, I’m ready for those fat ass shafts in every hole I have.” He said and I gagged.
“I don’t want to vision you taking it in the ass.” I said and he laughed.
“Okay, checklist.” He said as we pulled into the school lot.
“Okay, let me see your teeth.” I said and he flashed me his teeth. “You’re good, me?” I asked and he nodded.
“You’re good, let’s go, I’m pretty sure the office is this way.” I said and he nodded as we walked towards the building.
When we got to the window we were greeted by an older woman.
“Hello, can I help you?” She asked.
“Umm, we’re new today.” I answered. “Kingsley Johnson and Owen Micheals.” I explained.
“Okay well, Mr. Micheals is okay to go but you happen to have put his parents down for yours, you have different last names sweetheart.” She said and I nodded.
“They’re there because they are my parents.” I answered back.
“But honey, you’re supposed to put your real parents.” She said and I took a breath.
“She’s my best friend and since her parents died mine have been her parents.” Owen interfired.
“Oh, I’m so sorry.” She said and I shrugged.
“Shit happens.” I answered.
“Okay well, here’s your locker numbers, schedules and locker combinations.” She said, handing us each a few papers.
“Are you ready for this, Kings?” He asked and I shrugged.
“Do I have a choice?” I asked and he shook his head. “Then I guess.” I said and we started walking that way.
“What are they staring at?” He asked and I sighed.
“You.” I answered and he furrowed his eyebrows. “Just the way you look.” I said and he nodded. “Don’t worry, flaunt your shit bitch.” I said and he smiled before walking more confidently making me chuckle until some preppy bitch came up to us.
“Hi, I’m Kendal.” She said and I nodded looking at the hand she held out for us to shake.
“Cool.” I answered flatly.
“So are you like a girl or a guy?” She asked Owen and my jaw dropped.
“That was fucking rude!” I yelled as more people started watching.
“Ope, my bad.” She said with a sad face.
“It’s fine Kings, I have balls sweetheart.” He answered. “I’m just gay.”
“Oh my gosh what a coincidence, my cousins, friends, second uncle twice removed broke off his wedding because he was gay.” She said and I looked behind us trying not to laugh. “So are you gay too?” She asked me.
“What?” I asked, amused.
“Are you gay as well?” She asked and I started choking.
“Nope, never kissed a girl in my life and don’t plan on it.” I answered.
“Oh well, I love your fit.” She said, looking at Owen.
“I told you I looked stylish this morning!” He yelled at me and I rolled my eyes.
“Oh my god, your makeup looks so good too.” She said.
“Thanks, we’re gonna go look for our classes now and that stuff.” Owen said and I nodded.
“Okay well, see you around.” She said and I laughed.
“My cousins, friends, second uncle twice removed broke off his wedding.” He said, chuckling at me and I nodded.
“I think she likes you.” I said and he nodded as we got to my locker. “Okay, go find yours, put your stuff inside then come back if the bell hasn’t rung yet.” I said and he nodded before walking away.
Turns out the bell had other plans and rang making us have to leave.
I looked around for my first class until right before the tardy bell rang. As soon as I walked in, I saw him.
He was so strange to me, he was covered in tattoos but he had these muscles I could see trying to get out of his shirt, or his spiked hair and chains around his neck. His whole person screamed danger but I couldn’t help being captivated by his stone cold green eyes.
I walked to the back and sat down not looking at anyone as the teacher walked in.
“Alright class, if you haven’t heard yet we have a new kid in our class today, so would you like to stand up and tell us about yourself?” She asked, looking at me and the whole class turned to look at me, I looked down shaking my head while picking at my ripped jeans. “Please?” She asked and I sighed before standing up and walking to the front of the class.
“Umm, my name is-” I started quietly before she stopped me.
“Louder please.” She said,
“Umm, my name is Kingsley Johnson but my best friend Owen calls me Kings for short, and I just moved with their family from DC.” I answered and she nodded.
“So you and this ‘Owen’ are living together?” She asked.
“Yeah, I moved in with them a fews years ago.” I said and she nodded.
“You can go sit down now Kingsley.” She said and I nodded before going back to my seat where my stuff was.
“Please pull out your chemistry books and turn to page 283?” She asked.
