High School Affairs (MB Story)

A New You

(Craig's POV)

 I crashed at Chris's house for the night and when I woke up the smell of bacon and eggs hits my nose. I roll off the couch and wander to the kitchen, images of a few hours ago swirl in my mind.

 Jasmine had finally warmed up to me and we were having a good time. She was crazy and I loved it. We were laughing the entire time, never running out of things to talk about. She was sober and she didn't drink so I knew her head wasnt in the clouds. But she was also still cautious around me.

 I moved me hand towards her leg and she slaps it hard. I yank my hand away hard and wince.

 "Ouch, what was that for?" I exclaim.

 "You were trying to feel on me." She snaps.

 "No, i was trying to brush the glitter off of you." I say, pointing to the pile of glitter in her lap.

 A while ago someone tossed a bag of glitter onto the ceiling fan and it began fluttering into the air like snow. There was glitter on literally everything and everyone.

 Jasmine's face turns bright red. "Oh...sorry."

 "You know, not every boy is just trying to get in your pants." I tell her.

 She scoffs and takes a sip of her soda. "Yeah well, I find that hard to believe."

 "Yeah well," I say mocking her. "You can trust me Jas. I'm a good guy."

 "Jas?" She asks raising an eyebrow.

 I nod. "Yup, Jas." I take a risk and gently pinch her chin between my thumb and pointer finger. I expect her to chop my hand off for touching her or at least cuss me out. But instead she rolls her eyes and looks away from me with a smile.

 I smile at the memory and walk into the kitchen. Chris looks up at me from where he's eating a bacon and egg sandwich at the island.

 "Where's my food at?" I ask.

 "Do i look like the help? You better find something to eat yourself. I'm tired as hell." He responds.

 I roll my eyes and go through his cabinets and find pop tarts. I tear open the package and sit at the island.

 "Its recked in here. How are you gonna clean up before your parents get home?" I ask.

 "I dont know Craig. Damn hop off my stiff." He says. His eyes narrow at me and I can tell he's angry about something.

 I raise a brow. "PMS already Chris?"

 He cracks a smile and rolls his eyes. "Dont even play."

 "Then whats got your panties in a bunch?"

 Chris swallow the food in his mouth and presses his palms against his eyes. "Swear not to tell anyone?" I nod and he takes a deep breath. "I accidentally slept with Autumn."

 My jaw drops slightly. "Autumn? The innocent little violin player from theatre class?" he nods and i smirk. "Ohh she get down like that?"

 "No! I think she was drunk or something but i was so gone i didnt even notice what was going on. My body was like numbly moving without my help." Chris says.

 I shake my head. "I told you to quit that smoking since 9th grade. Whatchu gonna do bout Tamara?Arent you the one that agreed to 'change' for her?"

 "Yeah," Chris says looking down at his half eaten sandwich. "Shit." I watch as he scratches his nails into the table in frustration. "Why do I always screw things up?"
