Bestfriends Shouldn’t Know How You Taste

Chapter 42

Chapter 42 

Even though dad agreed to let me train for boxing  he’d also let me know that I wouldn’t start right  away. I was bummed that I wouldn’t see Blake  today but hopefully dad would let me tomorrow. 

After letting Blake know that my dad agreed to let  me train with him I’d gone to do my homework. An  entire stack of it. By the time I was done, I was so  exhausted that my eyelids felt like they were  weighted down by anvils. 

Mom had brought dinner for me in my room and  seemed to be less stressed. I knew she was  embarra*sed about breaking down in front of me  earlier, I could tell by her leaving as soon as she  set the plate down on the small table I do my  homework on. 

I ate dinner like a slug and when I finally  succumbed to exhaustion I woke up to another  day. I could feel the ache in my body as I  stretched.

The house was quiet and tense as we had  breakfast this morning. The tension was so thick  you’d be unable to cut through it using a knife. 

While I entered dad’s car, you could sense  someone’s presence was missing, Arden. I looked  out the window as we drove pa*s houses and kids  who were playing in the streets instead of going to  school. I sighed and wished I was this young  again. 

The car ride was silent, neither I nor dad tried to  start up a conversation. I could feel his  nervousness and I knew he was in no mood to  converse. So I let him be knowing that whatever I  would say wouldn’t ease his mind. 

When the car came to a stop, I could feel the  tension grow thicker by the second. Dad was  worried. I would be too if I was going to try and  persuade a principal about letting my son come  back to school. 

“Dad you got this.” I promise as I place the bag  straps over my shoulder. This was the first word I  said to him for today. 

He nods and sends me a forced smile. “Yeah, I  better go and speak to him now.” He sighs and  open the door of the car.

I sucked in my bottom lip between my teeth and  got out aswell. 

My converse hit the pavement as both dad and I  strut towards the school.
