Troy

D ing ding ding. Was she going to open the door for me and then we could go on this ride? I wondered what she was going to think. Finding me in front of her home, in front of her door, to be more precise. She was going to pull her hair out. And oh, I did remember to keep Frank out of this.

He drank too much last night, and now couldn’t even get out of the bed. He was going to miss some classes, but it wasn’t like he was going to miss much anyway. His family was as rich as mine, and he was guaranteed a job and getting into college.

I pressed the button of the doorbell, hearing it ring inside her home. I was quite surprised they had it - the doorbell, I meant. Her home was just so… simple compared to mine. Simpler, poorer, but still with lots of personality.

There was a small garden in the front yard, a swing at the back, and a small Santa Claus gnome right beside me. It looked old, with the paint flaking off, but I’d say that it still made her house look a lot more inviting than mine.

My house wasn’t something I was too fond of. Too many bad memories, dad being an asshole, mom being absent. Not the kind of thing I wanted to be thinking about right now, and so I shoved that thought away.

“Coming,” a female, sweet voice said. Ariel.

Ah, so it was her that was coming here, and she was going to be so shocked when finding me in front of her place. What was she going to tell her mom and dad as soon as they saw me here? Was she going to tell them the truth, or kick up the lie?

The lie that I was going to come up with, because oh boy I was going to put her in a pretty tight spot. She’d never told them about me. She didn’t want to mention my existence to them for many reasons.

And now I was going to make them think I was much more to her than just her friend.

She opened the door, her eyes landing on me.

“What the fuck?” she said, eyes bulging.

“Hey, Ariel. I came here to take you to class.”

I was dressing the part, with a very expensive and fancy black suit I’d put on. Sure, it was kind of hot and I was sweating a little bit, but I needed to look rich right now. Most days I wore just jeans and a shirt, but this morning was a special occasion.

She was loving seeing me here, in her own way.

Without mentioning anything, she closed the door and pushed me to the side of her house.

“What are you doing here? I knew I shouldn’t have accepted that ride.”

“Too late for that now, don’t you think? And I was thinking about taking you to class, then maybe go shopping, get some ice cream, and chill out.”

“I’m not going to
