the soft boy ~ J.H.

~ chapter 2 ~

'i'm kio, this is griffin' the boy with floppy brown hair states, the other boys smiles
'Morg, were going to P.E. you coming?' tayler asked loudly from the table
'ye one sec tay' i responded as i turned by attention to anthony's friends still stood in front of me
'i gotta go to P.E.' i started
'alright i'll see you round' kio says as i start walking away to catch up with tayler and dixie

skip to the end of the day

i begin to walk out of school when i see anthony approaching me with one of his friends, he has tanned skin and black hair, which i can tell he has died recently because i recognise him but he used to have silver hair, they approach me and anthony throws a paper ball at me, i dodge it and playfully punch his arm

'good day morg?' anthony asks, he's just being polite so he gets a simple answer
'meh i guess' i respond blankly
'i heard you stormed out of science' the guy anthony's with says questionably
'you heard correct, also ant?'
'ye...' he can tell i'm about to ask him for something
'can dix and char come over later?' i question already knowing he will say yes i just know i have to ask to be nice
'sure as long as jaden and quinton can' anthony responds
'okay but who are jaden and quinton'
'right well i'm quinton' he says with a laugh 'and you've known me for over a year'
i just laugh, this boy honestly, i don't pay attention to anthony's friends but he seams to have stuck with these for a while so i suppose i'll make an effort
'sorry, i normally ignore ants friends cause they are dicks' i said slightly apologetically
'it's alright, i get it, boys usually are' quinton says we all laugh and get into the car, anthony drops me off at home while he went to pick up his friend (jaden), i looked at my phone and saw a message from my mum

mother 🙄🖕

me and your dad have gone on a business trip, we will be gone till next monday
(it's currently thursday)

okay mum i'll speak when you get back i guess

bye

i decide to call anthony and let him know
'hey ant, mum and dad are out till
monday, can i invite more of my mates over?' i ask
i hear ant sigh, i know he hates it when mum and dad are gone for ages because he has such a good bond with them, me on the other hand, my dad doesn't even bother with me and my mum only talks to me when i'm in trouble or she's in a very good mood 'ye sure i'll invite a few more of my mates over aswell'
'thanks ant, love you bro' i say pleased
'love you too morg' he hangs up and i know he's a bit sad but his friends will cheer him up, if not then i will
i message the group chat

i waited around for a while, anthony came home with about 6 boys, i recognised kio griffin and quinton because i spoke to them earlier, i also recognised another but i don't know who it is, i go downstairs to get a snack from the kitchen while i wait for my friends to show and i get approached by all the boys who decide now is a good time to eat
'well, well, well, we meet again' the one i spoke to in the hallway at school says
'that we do' i respond
'so are you like, fucking anthony or do you just hang around his house' i just laughed, he looked at me so confused but couldn't believe he thought that i was my brothers fuck buddy, after calming myself down he turned to me and said 'what's so funny?'
'do you know my name?' i ask, he shakes his head 'it's morgan, morgan reeves' it took him a moment but he understood why i said it and apologised for the misunderstanding,
'you know my name, what's yours then?' i said questionably
'josh, josh richards' he says still trying to figure out if i even care as i'm not even looking at him
'oi dork!' i hear someone shout from the other side of the room
'BRYCE!!' i scream as i run over to bryce and wrap my entire body around him as he picks me up, bryce has been the only boy that anthony has been friends with since we were about 5, i haven't seen him around much recently and i didn't want to ask anthony because he's a bit of a pushover with his mates and would probs get upset about it
'long time no see morg' bryce says as he puts me back onto the ground 'hows school' bryce isn't in any of my classes and i never see him around school, probably because i keep getting in trouble
'could be better' i reply
'ye if you actually behave it probably would be' anthony states sounding kinda annoyed
bryce was about to say something when there was a knock at the door...
