Bullied By My Alpha Stepbrother

Jason Davenport

It had been a while since I’d hung out with the gang, especially with everything going on. Exams had started a few days ago and surprisingly, calculus had been pretty easy.

Good.

I didn’t need Dad breathing down my neck and reminding me to study. Even though we both knew he could pay my way into any college. Speaking of college, the gang kept having conversations about their plans for college, Rory and Greg more interested in the hot girls they were going to meet.

Smiling, I wondered if they would ever change. What if they did? Would we still be friends? These thoughts had been running through my head over and over again and I couldn’t bring myself to answer them. Maybe because I already knew the answer to them.

I resisted the urge to hiss. Suddenly everything was annoying to me. I needed to stop thinking and enjoy the last days I had with my friends. So I rejoined the conversation.

“Whatcha gonna wear for prom?” Rory was asking Kimberly wiggling his eyebrows mischievously.

Kimberly flipped her hair backwards. “You should know I never disappoint,”She winked. “Plus, I’ve got to look the part as prom queen.”

The guys ‘ooh’ed’, cheering her on. I rolled my eyes. We still weren’t friends, but we were kinda cool. It was as if I’d just begun to see her arrogant she could be sometimes. Prom queen my ass.

And as for prom, I honestly didn’t feel like attending. With the way I’d been feeling and with everything that was happening right now, I don’t think I was in the mood to dress up in a fancy suit and go to a party.

“Hey, Jason, we should all shop for our suits together. What do you think? Might be fun,” Greg suggested, looking to Rory for assent.

“Yeah, man. Don’t know how much time we have left.”

I looked at them both, trying to make up my mind. “Well, uhh, okay cool.”

Rory whooped, patting me painfully on the back. “We going tuxedo shopping, baby!”

“Okay, a little bit too enthusiastic Rory,” I wheezed, pushing him off me.

Everyone burst into a round of laughter. After a few moments, I joined in. I really was going to miss these guys.

“Too bad Adrian isn’t here,” Malia sighed.

I sucked in a breath. Why did this bitch have to ruin the moment? I turned to her. “If you miss him so much just fuck off and go look for him,” I spat.

Her face reddened.

“Jason!” Kimberly yelled angrily. “What the fuck is your problem.”

“What the fuck is wrong with her, bringing up my ex best friend when she obviously knows we’re not friends anymore.”

“You can’t expect the whole world to know you broke up with Adrian?!”

“Broke up?” Greg put in, his voice close to a snigger.

We both ignored him.

“Don’t act like you didn’t know, Kim. And if you did obviously she would too. So why the hell did she bring it up?”Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Kimberly gasped. “You are acting like a child now!”

“Yeah I learned that from you.”

Everyone else ‘ooh’ed’ but stopped when Kimberly began to shoot eye daggers around.

“So you don’t even care? Can’t you see that Malia’s upset?”

“Who the fuck cares?”

At this point Malia stormed out, looking like Hurricane Katrina. Fuck if I care.

“You are a such a dick, Jason.”

I only shrugged.

“Of course you won’t say anything now,” She laughed. “That’s exactly why Adrian stopped being friends with you. ‘Cause you’re the biggest dick that ever lived.”

“You mean, I have the biggest dick that ever lived?” I sneered.

Greg and Rory burst out laughing like hyenas.

“You know what? You’re all dicks. I’m out of here.” With that, she grabbed her extremely pink purse off the table and stormed off.

“Oh Kimmy, don’t go,” Greg called out after her. “It’s just a little misunderstanding. Come back.”

She stopped and turned momentarily at the door to give him the finger.

Silence followed for a few minutes and then Greg lit a smoke and passed it round. I rejected it, still trying to figure out why I had gotten so angry.

“Look J,” Rory started. “We your boys, you know that. And we won’t let you look stupid especially in front of bitches right? But that right there? That wasn’t cool.”

Greg nodded in agreement. “And you never really did tell us what happened with Adrian.”

I raked my fingers through my hair. My head was spinning. I still didn’t know why I got so mad. Maybe it was the stress of everything.

“Thanks for having my back,” I swallowed. They both nodded, reaching out to pat my back, painfully of course. It almost felt like they were beating me up.

“I was having a bad day that’s all.”

Rory peered at me. “You sure?”

I nodded. “I’m stressed out y’know. The exams and college and my dad. Everything’s happening all at once.”

“Yeah I feel you man. I feel the exact same way. And I don’t even have anyone else to talk to. My parents are never home so. . .”

I looked up at Rory, smiling sadly. I never pegged him as someone who could get lonely. Which was actually stupid, come to think of it. I guess everyone had their own issues.

We all looked at each other, letting a few seconds pass. Then we burst into a round of laughter without knowing exactly why.

“Let’s never speak of this again. Can’t have anyone know about this sob story shit,” Rory laughed.

Another round of laughter.

Okay I’m beginning to think it’s the weed that’s doing it.

“I love you guys!” Greg yelled to the heavens.

Okay definitely the weed.

I blew out smoke, looking from Greg to Rory as they burst into a song I’d never heard in my life.

And I knew I was going to miss them.
