My alam buzzes and I stop it but I realize it’s 8 am. Shít, I’m late! My phone has been buzzing for 30 minutes now and I slept through it.

I quickly grab my glasses and rush to get ready. I change to whatever I can find and skip breakfast. I run out the door and I start sprinting to school.

God, I’m in SO much trouble…

Once I make it to school, I rush into my classroom, history and I sit down next to my friend. Everyone in class stares at me and I’m completely embarrassed. I’ve never been late before and I’m just not feeling it today.

“Dude, what happened to you? Did you—“ Greg pauses and he just stares at me.

“I slept through my alarm. I don’t know what happened. This never happened to me before.” I groan and I cover my face. Greg shakes his head and sighs.

I sit in silence until class ends. I grab my things quickly and rush out of the classroom, not giving Greg a chance to speak to me again.

I roam through the halls to go to English class and I feel too exhausted. My head hurts and my body feels weak. My eyes almost close but swing open when I hear a familiar voice.

“Tired?” The voice sounds so.. hypnotic.

My head tilts upward and I see him.. Hayden.

”I, uh.. just overslept. I came here late.” I sigh.

“Overslept? Came late? That’s not like the typical nerdy you, Milo.” He smiles at me. Why is he so handsome? God, how I hate him.

“Don’t call me nerdy. It was just this one time. It’s not gonna happen again.” I glare at him. I don’t think he seems to mind this kind of attitude I give him. All he does is smile at me.

“You coming to practice after school?”

“Um, yes. I kind of have to go. Greg would kill me if I didn’t show up.”

”Greg? Why do you always talk about ‘Greg’? It’s always Greg, Greg Greg Greg.” He crosses his arms and he stares at me. His eyes dig deep into my soul and it kind of makes me feel a little bit scared.

“Is that a problem? I can’t talk about my friend now?”

“Friend? I didn’t ask you if he’s your friend. I asked you why you always talk about him.” He steps closer to me and I feel his body heat rubbing against me.

”Uhm, I’ll just see you at practice.” I walk away from him but I feel his eyes staring at me while I walk away.

—————————————————————

In the locker room, I don’t see him anywhere. I take out my jersey and start changing into it. The whole locker room is dead silent until Hayden comes in. His voice sounds energetic and hyper. He’s loud and the locker room turns into chaos.

I on the other hand am the only one that’s quiet. I don’t speak to anyone on the team other than Greg and Hayden but Greg doesn’t show up to practice for some reason. It’s very unlikely of him since he’s never missed a day of practice before.

”Alright team. Change quickly because today we are gonna do something different.” Coach Burbakin blows the whistle.

Everyone finishes changing and run out to the field as we start practice. I try to focus but the heat is too much for me and I didn’t bring any water.

This is gonna be one hell of a practice.

“Yo, Milo.” Hayden wraps his arm around my shoulder. His smile makes my heart race and his eyes make me want to melt. Why do I hate him again?

“Yeah?” I try to sound normal but I’m screaming in the inside.

“You wanna come over after practice? I’m having a few of the guys over.” He smiles and his arm tightens around my shoulder, bringing me closer to him. I stare at him and nod. He pats my head and jogs off.

Sooner or later, practice ends and I just want to go home but I agreed to go to Hayden’s house.. Why did I do that?

“Milo! Hurry up, we’re waiting for you!” Hayden yells from his car.

He has a car? There are three other guys in the back so I guess I have to go the passenger seat. I sigh and open his car door and go inside.

As soon as I put my seatbelt on, Hayden start driving and puts on music. He has the music really loud and with the windows down. My hair gets all messy but I don’t mind since the air is refreshing.

I lean my head over the opem window and just take in the fresh air from the outside.

—————————————————————————

Once Hayden parks in his garage, that’s when I realize how rich he is. He lives in a luxurious white mansion and it’s absolutely mesmerizing.

All his friends rush inside but I take my time to look around.

I walk inside his house and all the furniture is luxurious. It's marble and it looks golden.

"Guys, come outside. Y'all are sleeping over too." Hayden excitedly runs over to the door and runs outside.

I pause when I realize that he actually invited me to “hang out” with his friends. Since when?

Later during the day, all of his friends had left early for some reason which leave just me and him. I can tell how disappointed he is and by his look, he is a little sad.

“Uhm, Hayden?” I tap his shoulder while my hand shakes slightly. He’s sitting on the couch, pretending I don’t exist.

“What?” He growls.

“Why did all your friends leave so early?”

“Don’t worry about that, Milo.” He stands up and hovers over me. He puts his phone in his pocket and whispers in my ear. “It’s just us now.” His voice was low and seductive. I don’t know why but it kind of turned me on.

My lips twitch and burn with desire to touch his.

I quickly look away before I lose control and back up. “So uh.. Does this mean I’m the only one sleeping over?”

He smirks at me, looking intensely into my eyes. “Yes, it does.” His voice still low and and gentle.

I nod and sit down on the couch. I fidget with my fingers and lay my head back.

It’s really awkward now. Hayden sits next to me and turns off the television. He just stares at me.

“It’s almost 10.” He whispers.

“So?”

“I think you should lay down and sleep.”

“I’m not tired.”

“Your eyes say otherwise. You’re eyes are already closing. Don’t even lie to me.”

I roll my eyes and close them. I quickly open them and lean on the couch more on my side. Hayden is silent, I don’t like that. I open my eyes again but he’s gone. I’m so confused, where did he go?

I sit up and see him coming back with a blanket covering him. He looks half asleep. I quickly lay down and pretend to be asleep.

I feel movements over me and it suddenly gets really hot. Oh my god…
