Chapter 6: New day, try again
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56I almost did not sleep last night. I was struggling with myself should I do something or just let everything go. I had arguments on both sides. Getting up I decided to try, I already tried doing nothing so I could try to do something. I took a shower, got dressed and walked outside, I saw Lilly, deciding to start my day with a kik I waved at her, just to see her blush, oh and she did.
Driving to school I decided I will talk with David and Keith during lunch, maybe the offer is still on. Also, I planned on checking colleges, maybe see where I can apply. On the lunch break, when I entered the lunchroom there was a strange silence. I saw Anna and the boyfriend. Since I was in a good mood I ignored them, maybe I could smile, but ignoring is better.
As I walked a group of guys surrounded me and Anna's boyfriend emerged from the wall of people. "You think you can hit me unprepared and get away with it? Do you think I do not know who you are? Nobody, yeah I know, you were a rich boy and your dad lost his money and now you are just a loser, a pathetic no one.."
He rambled and I interrupted him "Do you want a chance for a rematch, no problem, hell I will even accept for you to pick two of your best friends to help you, to even the odds. Just tell me the time and place. If you think I hit you unprepared."
He looked at me with disbelief, "Today after school." I nodded and walked past them.
I saw Keith with a couple of friends and I approached him. He was scared of me based on his look.
I gave him a smile nodding "Hey, Keith right, I was wondering if the offer still stands for football". He nodded then swallowed yeah, just come to one of the practices after school.
Shit well, I will be a bit late but I will make it. The rest of my day passed with no problems, I did get a glimpse of Lilly from time to time, we had Math together and in the hallway. She is really cute, which is strange she is not my type. In my old school, there were tons of girls but none of them caught my attention. I never thought of someone as cute. My rating was, hot for make-out or sex that is it.
My last class of the day was over and I was walking to settle my differences with that guy when the director interrupted me. He was short with words, my office now! To my surprise in his office was Anna's boyfriend.
The principal started talking, "I have heard that you two planned a fight after school, usually I would not care what happen after school but since Darren's dad can be a pain in the ass, if you two have this fight if I see any of you hurt with a bruise, or do not come to school in any future period I will personally make sure that you two get expelled. Did I make myself clear?"
This was so funny, I nodded since I did not care about this fight, and Darren started to ramble and the principal interrupted him, "Darren I DO NOT CARE, no fighting! Out of my office."
When we got out of the office, he just pushed me and mumbled you are lucky. Smiling I thought yeah I am the lucky one. I saw the time, I can make it to football practice. When I arrived I saw Keith and the couch.
They approached me "So you are Aron, Keith told me you might join us."
I nodded and since I am a fairly honest guy I wanted to tell them where I stand.
"Listen I need this because of college if there is any chance for me to get in great if not, thanks anyway.". The coach started with a panic voice "no, no, no, there is a spot do not worry we need players, we NEED players, this is a school where basketball rules so we are kinda left behind and we could use any help that we could get."
Smiling, I nodded and asked them when can I start. They were really happy like the whole team approached me congratulating me, the coach gave me a number 12 and we started to test positions I could play. When we started the practice these guys were really out of shape I mean, really weak. I could see where the problem was. At the end of the practice, the coach told me I will be starting as a quarterback told some guys what to do and that was it. I could tell he was a good guy but he needed to work on the team strength.
We were in the showers when "Hi, I am Zachary, everyone calls me Zac, sorry for coming like this but could you help me with the training maybe, you look really strong, and the way you punched Daren WOW."
I looked at him "Dude do not come at me like that in the shower I thought you were going to hit me or something, Jesus. I can help, you know where Sam's gym is, meet me there tomorrow at 8 pm. Just do not approach me in the shower ever again." He smiled, waved at me, and walked away.
When I came home I was so tired, my dad was on the couch watching tv, realizing I haven't seen him watching tv in like ever "Hey Aron how was your day."
This time I had something to say " I got into the football team."
He turned around looking at me, "That is so great."
We started to have small talk again. I told him what happened, this was so different from my life that I was used to, I do miss my life but I kinda like what this new one is becoming.
I had my dinner and headed upstairs to go to bed when my phone rang. I got a message from Tom, frowning. I opened the message.
"Hey man I hope you are doing ok, I wanted to say this so you do not get it from someone else, me and Nat are together. We love each other, for some time now and since you two are now off I can tell you this. Hope we can talk about it one day."
I squeezed my phone and replied, "You better hope we never meet again".

I could not sleep, Tom never replied to my message, but I really think he sent it just to piss me off. I know he was never with Nat before, but I know he wanted to, hell the whole school wanted to. How stupid she must be to fall for a guy like him really, I was no saint, but really. I had no words, his life now is what I had. I was so mad, I knew I had to get out, take

It was Saturday morning and I was laying in my bed thinking what can I do, well it was more what should I do. It is not like I can ask someone for advice. That is when I realized, I have no one to talk to, no one to help me but strangely enough, it is not making me feel bad. It is just lonely I guess. Maybe I could ask my dad, wait I can ask Keith, he seems nice, he is on the team, he should be the right person to call.

When I came back to the house. My dad was waiting for me and he had a very curious face. I know he wanted to ask me a million questions on what just happened. The moment I took a deep breath and exhaled, the questions started. What happened, why did I ran out of the house, why was he looking like she was crying….Since I was in a state of shock and I really had no answers, my answer was only to keep him calm."It's nothing serious she's not mad at me I did nothing bad. We just had a really serious conversation that turned out south. I'll talk to her again in the morning but don't worry, all is ok."I could tell my answer did nothing to calm him. "What did you talk about to make her cry. Did you do something?"I know what was he implying, and I should be mad, but in a way he had the right to think that, I am his son after all."No, dad, come on, nothing like that. I am desperate but not that much. Different kind of topic, much mor

Finally I have what I need. I called Lily and Zack to pick me up. We need to get to the courtroom to give my dad the evidence, and finish this finally. They picked me up, and we drove as fast as we could. Once we arrived at the court, I passed the security, and I was looking for the courtroom. I could hear Lilly in the background, “good luck”. I went to my dad and his Layer, I had to be convincing, but I silently called my dad “Hey this is all you need to win, just trust me and give this to the judge”. He looked at me, not now, son. I caught his hand, “ Dad please trust me, all the evidence is there, please.” He invited his Layer, and I told him, all the evidence for this you have on this file, please give this to the Judge and no one else, the police is involved.” He looked at me strangely, and with a stern voice, are you sure about this?” I was getting tired of these questions, “please just give it to the judge.” The second my mom saw me and her lawyer, they went read.

"You love me Arron'', she had the biggest mile and I caught myself that I was smiling too, "I mean I do not know, I think I d.." I did not get to finish my sentence and she tackled me, " I do to" She started to kiss me all over my face, "I love you too, I love you too" but then "wait, we need to get our plan in motion, now, or it will be too late. The plan was to send my mother a message, that if we split the money from the house I will get the dad to confess, and we can get rid of him. Also we have to meet to make sure what they want from the information. It was really a good plan, since once I meet my mother, I will record her and her Lawyer framing my dad, I just have to make sure my dad does not know about this. Lilly needed to leave and I was really not willing to let her go, "please stay, just tonight, I promise I will behave", I can see from her face she also did not want to go, "I have to, Nana is working and I am babysitting tonight, some other day". She kissed me and I w

Daren called me and we spoke for hours, well more like he talked and I just listened, his dad went insane, wanted to divorce, and take custody of Daren, he even slapped his mother, Daren got involved to protect his mom. It kinda was not fair since no one is blaming the real guilty person here Zak's dad, just Darren's mom. After hanging up, I had to call Lily, I just had to hear her voice. I was interrupted once my dad came back. I went down just to check on him and I was really worried after I saw him. "Dad" I called him "Dad are you ok". He looked at me like he is about to cry "No Arron i am not, you mother went to the feds, and told them that she will be their witness since she saw me dealing with the Mafia", he sight, " they will bring charges, tomorrow, and Arron and I have no money for the Lawyers, or anything. You will have to go to her, she will take everything, I do not know what to do Arron." What the hell is that woman doing, is she crazy. "Dad we can mortgage the house a

So we sat down and Daren tried to explain everything that he could. Well, more like everything he knew. The way things are looking is that his mother seduced Zach's father. Well, that is the story that everybody's saying, but actually, it's kind of the opposite. Zach's father has been pursuing Darren's mother for a very long time now, and they dated in college. It's a very difficult situation and I have no idea how the adults are gonna fix it, but I told Darren it's not his problem. It's their parents who need to fix it. You should not get in the middle of anything, even if you are. If they created the problem, they should fix it. In the end, we had to go, Darren had to face everybody and he promised he would send us a message once he was home. I went home with Lilly and the whole ride we did not speak much. Was it from all the things that happened today and the realization of why it happened, it was too much. We are just kids, we should not be dealing with this shit. When we got ho
Long road to go Chapter 21: When kids get in between
I was sprinting towards the library, it was on the south end of the school, and it seemed like I needed forever to get there. As I was approaching the Library I could see a group of children gather around, I guess the classes started and that is why the group was not big. When I heard Darren, I lost it. Some kids saw me and just moved. Luckily Darren did not see me and as I was running I just tackled him and started hitting. I throw a couple of punches before I felt Lilly's hand on me and through all the anger boiling in my head, I heard her voice, begging me to stop. She was pulling me and I had to stop. I dropped my hands and turned to her, she was crying and I am guessing it is because of me and I know Darren is unconscious, if my weak hit in the cafeteria knocked him out, this would get him to the hospital. That is good, maybe he will get it now, not to mess with my friends or Lilly. But then the real trouble came, the Principal. He was pushing kids to come to us and I know it

We stood like that for about twenty minutes, when she poked my shoulderblade "Ummm, I can barely breathe, could you let me go for a second."My response was short, "If you are saying no, I am not letting go." She took a deep breath, "Aron, let me speak."I let her go just for a second, so I can look at her, to see how serious she is, yap it was a moment to let go."I know you are afraid, but I am too. I, I, never had a boyfriend, and I am just scared when you are bored you will look for something more fun. Because let's be honest I am boring, I study A LOT, I have to babysit, I am not a fan of parties..."I stopped her right there, " I do not need you to be the life of the party, socialite, I need you to be you. You did not herd what I told you, I had a fun girl and it was not enough I cheated, I never took her seriously. I do not want to say bullshit line, with you is different, but it is.

I went home, I wanted to tell my dad about math, but the way the day continued, I just wanted to disappear. I will have to face Lilly eventually and end things for good but now I just want to forget what happened, and I will deal with everything tomorrow. It will be hard but it is what it is. I am not ready for a relationship, not even close, also what is up with all the questions, what we are… where does this girl live.. Why it can not be let’s just have fun. My dad was not home which was perfect, but it did get me thinking he is really out these days. I will talk to him when everything is over with Lilly. I got ready and left for the restaurant. I was in a foul mood but guys might make it better. As I arrived at the restaurant everyone was there waiting and cheered for me when I entered. It was a fun night, we eat burgers, nana's special burger

What the hell was I thinking, I was so angry, so pissed off and the best thing that I could do is ask Lilly on a date. What is wrong with me, but I was on the edge. When I saw Anna talking to Lilly that got me mad, but when I heard what she was telling her, I do not know, it was more than anger. I wanted to shelter her from every single word Anna spoke. Anna needs to be taught a lesson, she can not go around and talk like that and I will deal with her later. Back on the mistake, I did, I may have destroyed my friendship with Lilly but to be honest, maybe it is for the best. I know I can not be just her friend, but I am not sure if I want more than that…The moment I asked her and told her to text me I walked away. Imagine that, me being afraid of rejection, ME ARON…..As I was walking away, with my thoughts when I heard a scream, YES.That wa

Lilly's POV"Lilly, hun, are you listening to me?" I shook my head, "Sorry Nana, I was just thinking about something. Can you repeat again?"Nana's warm smile was always comforting, no matter what we did, she was always there for us sometimes with not pleasant conversations but we knew we could count on her."Might be something connected to the boy next door?" I did not miss the sneaky smile."No, maybe a bit," I know I was red as a tomato, luckily the kids were playing and could not see me.It was our night. This is something Nana and I have since I came to live with her. We order Pizza, watch some girl moves, and just talk. She was right, Aron has occupied my mind since I met him.
