Sebastian’s home was located in the neighboring estate; it was a ten-minute drive. Sebastian waved at me when he saw him, he was so anxious that he had waited for me in front of his house. He was a tall guy about as tall as me with beautiful hair. His hair was thick and wavy blonde, sometimes I felt envious of his hair. Mine was just ebony brown and straight and long, like a rock type of person.
“You are late; I can’t believe you actually made me wait for you for half an hour. What were you doing? Painting your toenails or something?” he fired when I pulled the car beside him. I opened the passenger seat for him while adjusting my dark shades, to cover my weird eyes.
“I was sleeping like normal teenagers do, it’s your fault that you have to visit your girlfriend so early in the morning” I shrugged starting the car again
As I drove, I couldn’t help but study Sebastian through the corner of my eyes. He was fidgety and would straighten the collar of his suit every once in a while. He never liked suits as far as I could recall, today him wearing one came as an utter surprise to me. I had never seen him behave like this when going to a girl’s, he was always so cool and carefree that he even forgot to brush his hair sometimes. She really was into this girl.
“so you are planning on getting serious?” I asked with an amused smile
“I think I’ve found true love Michael” he said seriously his expression stern. The person who has always been fickle in relationships just said that. He might as well fall in love more than three times a week with different girls each time. It only took a couple of seconds staring at his serious dignified face before I broke into a small chuckle.
Sebastian glared at me then went as far as straightening his red tie and brushing his hair behind his ear with a small pout. I officially couldn’t hold it in anymore, I slowed the car to a stop beside the road then broke into fits of hearty laughter. Anytime I looked at his serious face, I couldn’t help but laugh even more loudly until tears streaked out of my eyes.
“sorry” I mumbled after laughing to my fill. I started the car again not even daring to look at him, I wouldn’t want to risk laughing my intestines out the second time. We drove in silence for the next minutes me smiling all the while.
“Do I look awkward?” he asked
“Just a bit different” I replied training my eyes straight on the road
“Well you were practicing being a dying hyena just some minutes ago, spit it out” he retorted immediately
“Really, I just have never seen you in a suit before” I admitted with a chuckle.
“Claire is…. different” he hesitated before saying
“that’s pretty clear” I said with an amused smile “Heard about the tests?”
“I just got tested yesterday” Sebastian said.
“No way… you didn’t even tell me about it” I complained raising my brows.
“it wasn’t even a big deal, just a couple of needles and a color test then it’s done” Sebastian replied “you have not been tested, have you?”
“No” I frowned “what color tests?”
“Just know blue is a good color” He answered ambiguously
“Really?” I scoffed a bit frustrated, Sebastian and his mind games
“What’s the fun if I tell you everything “Sebastian chuckled “Turn left over there”
I shook my head as I followed his instructions. We entered a tarmac road and drove for a couple of minutes before I reached a certain whitewashed house.
When we were almost reaching, Sebastian was like an ant with its tail on hot embers
“How is my hair?” he asked turning the rearview mirror to his face
“Blonde” I replied flatly
“I know…is it decent?”
“Relax “I patted his back “no matter how decent or blonde your hair is, whatever that is inside your heart is what counts the most” I added recalling some saying I saw on our television from a certain monk.
I almost congratulated myself when Sebastian gave me a bear bro hug, the saying just worked perfectly.
“Thank you buddy” He said “if I didn’t love Claire I would have made a baby out of you”
“GET OUT OF MY CAR” I glared pushing the laughing Sebastian out of my car.
“You should find a girlfriend someday or some guys would start to have some thoughts about you” he chuckled
“I’ll find a girlfriend soon to help steer your thoughts on the right path” I said
Right at this moment, a beautiful girl opened the door to the house. I had to admit that she was quite something. She waved at us with a smile.
4Claire was a bubbly cheerful girl. Since her parents weren’t around at the moment, the house was filled with constant laughers. I excused myself when Sebastian and Claire started staring at each other like they wanted to eat each other’s face and I wasn’t in for something X-rated.“I’ll just be out here…if you need me, which you obviously wont” I picked a glass of water and stepped outside. It was like they were just waiting for me to leave, I quickened my pace towards my car when smooching sounds grew louder. They were really going to swallow each other’s faces at that rate.Claire’s home was surrounded with different colorful flowers of different natures. It gave a certain cooling effect and feeling that made the area surrounding the flowers seem peaceful. Sebastian had earlier informed me that Claire’s family were florists and her mother sold them for a living. I made a note to buy some of the flo
In a split second, my knuckles connected with a bony jaw. The collision was followed with a loud shriek and then a body being hauled some meters away. I closed the distance between us almost at the same instant and rained down punches on the guy's face. All I saw in my eyes was a red haze and nothing else. Another kind of rage and anger had filled me so much that I angrily enjoyed punching the guy's face. It was like the person had snapped some kind of a trip wire in me that could never be reconnected. I couldn't control what I was feeling at the moment, I just wanted to beat this person endlessly for pissing me off. Blood spurt out of his nose under the constant punches I rained on him making his face extremely bloodied but this only served to make me want to punch him more. His attempts of throwing me off him were negligible, he struggled until his arms started growing weaker and pale. Unfortunately for him, I couldn't stop what had gotten into me.A very loud scream brough
"Age?" one officer asked me at the police station."16"" Area of residence?"" Levia estate"" Name?"" Michael... Michael Marcus" I said relaxing my quick breathing. Until today, I have never been in a police station in my life. I was the most disciplined kid in school, I had never even be suspended or expelled. This was my first time in a government law facility and I had to admit, it wasn't as good as always depicted in the movies. Before I was taken to the interrogation room, I was first placed in a cell with a bunch of drunks and fearsome huge men. Since I was a minor, I didn't last in there for more than half an hour since it was against government laws for a minor to be held that long." Marcus?" The officer frowned " what's your dad's name?"" Dante Marcus" I answered. The officer looked at me weirdly then gave me back my shades that were taken at the front desk. Now that I saw his face clearly, he appeared to be wary of my e
"When did you get so strong?" Sebastian asked me while we were driving from the police station. I just stared at my bloodied shirt silently. Never have I ever slipped like that before, heck I've never even fought a person. Well, apart from the verbal one I have never engaged someone physically." You just kept punching the poor guy even after he begged for your forgiveness"" He did?" I asked suprisedI swear I never heard a thing apart from Claire's scream. All I saw was a red punching bag which kept struggling underneath me. His struggles were like a fuel to that strange anger I had. What was up with me exactly?" You snapped and blacked out in a way….what did he do or say?"" He pushed me and...and grabbed my shirt. I think he provoked me" not a good reason to send a person to the ICU"I push you all the time and you've never rained blows on my head" Sebastian rolled his eyes still confused. If only he knew I was even more as
1“Michael? Michael? Michael? Still sleeping this late in the morning?” I heard my dad shout from the living room. I grumbled as I covered my head with my pillow. Cant I even sleep past seven o’clock even on a weekend? And he still calls it late.“Michael?” came his loud shout again. I resisted the urge to tear the pillow apart but I then threw away my covers in annoyance.“coming” I lazily shouted as I literally dragged my legs out of my bedroom then to the grand sitting room. My shoulders hunched visibly“not again” I sighed. Dante Marcus was standing beside the door fumbling with his red tie, he just never knew how to tie them.“don’t just stand there, come help me” he frowned giving up.Why don’t you call your wife to come do it? I said inwardly as I tied it for him.I got adopted when I was still a six-month old baby, as I was told any
2I rushed to my room and opened my laptop. I immediately googled everything related to Crest blood tests. If it was a must that I undergo the blood test, then I should at least have a bit knowledge about it.According to the results that were displayed on my laptop, the tests were done every year to with the aim of monitoring if human blood would undergo mutation. Nice excuse, I scoffed to myself as I continued to read the contents. At the age of sixteen, it is believed that the blood of humans undergoes a mutation that…..., I paused as a humored smile formed on my lipsAdolescence? Is it? Because only sixteen year olds undergo that kind of ‘mutation’ as the government terms it. And it wasn’t a mutation, it is just some kind of a big leap from being a kid to adulthood that everyone undergoes when they grow up. But why the blood tests? Couldn’t they just physically observe the teenagers, I mean boobs and beards are pretty obvious.
