For some reason or another he hadn't been able to sleep for the past couple of months, which really sucked. He could feel the tiredness of his eye bags, he didn't have to see them to know they were purple and blue shades. He knew if anyone saw them they'd freak and ask what was wrong, so he had been covering them with concealer her borrowed, without asking, from his mom. He was so tried and ready to just fall asleep, to doze off until a world that wasn't real, but lately that hadn't been working for him. Every night he tried keeping himself entertained by doing things likes reading, watching t.v., dancing, and just other pass times that's made him forget about the fact he needed some sleep; at the moment he just watched at the ceiling. He felt slightly lonely, but it's not like he could just call someone up at three in the morning, that thought had already crossed his mind and he had decided it wasn't the best idea. School starts in just about four hours, 7:50, that's not to far. Optimism was key for him.

"Ok, this is enough of the silence!" Finally growing tired of the loneliness, he sat up and let his feet touch the warm white carpet. He's room wasn't very grand, in fact it was very simple. The bed was barely big enough to fit two people in and was pushed up against the right wall next to the door, the same wall was covered of pictures of so many things that Axel had taken pictures of, on the opposite wall there were random black and white poster of old famous stars and more pictures he had taken, there was also a keyboard in front of the window (which he was trying to teach himself to play), the view from the window was beautiful though. Outside the window was nothing but snow falling atop of trees and floating on the pond in his backyard. In the summer he'd swim in the pond with his friends, the closet thing to a lake in Cleveland since there were none. In fact Axel lived out in the woods with his brother, he wasn't in the school zone for Cleveland High, but he went there anyways.

Once he was completely up on his feet he walked over to the wooden door, pulled the golden nob, and then made his way down the hardwood floor. He only took about three steps before reaching his destination and stopping in front of another wooden door. Raising a clenched fist, he hit the door before opening it himself. As soon as he entered the warm he was attacked by coldness, he immediately got cold chills all over his body. "Why the heck do you insist on sleeping out here? You're going to catch your death!' His voice was barely below a yell as he called to his brother, who forever reason thought it was okay to sleep in the screened-in patio during the winter. It was cold to Axel, but he knew his brother was probably finding warmth from the fact he was lying on a bed that he had drug in himself years ago and was bundled in a cocoon.

"Why the heck did you come in here? We have to be at school soon!" Before Axel had time to react his brother had already brought his arm back and threw a pillow towards Axel's face. When it hit him it didn't hurt at all, it was the most comfortable thing ever either, but at least there was no pain. The pillow bounced off the ground followed behind his glasses. "If you had broken those I would have made you buy me new ones." "Like hell I would. Can't you go bother someone else?" He watched his brother flop around in the bed before quickly falling back to sleep. Thanks for the heart warming conversation. Feeling the defeat he sighed and left the room shutting the door behind him.

Knock! Knock!

"Who the fuck could that be?" The groan from his brother's room only made him laugh as he walked through all the twist and turns to make his way to the living room to the door. Normal people probably would have thought it was crazy he was about to open the door at three in the morning without any weapon, but he wasn't worried, he could handle himself against an intruder.

Opening the door he was kind of shocked to find a girl wearing a black leather jacket with silver studs. The outfit was sexy in it's own right though, with the tight white shirt, the skin hugging high waisted pants, black heels, and black leather gloves really said something about the girl. "Nice glasses, babe." Saying so with a smirk seemed to put her in an even worse mood. "Move out of my way." She pushed passed him and entered his home without asking. She was not in the mood for his jokes. "My fucking bike broke down about half a mile ago, so this was the closest place to civilization to go. Out of anger I broke my shitty phone, so I'm going to use yours." "Go ahead, Blazer, I don't mind." By the time he had spoke she was already heading for the phone.

Picking up the house phone she quickly began to dial the number of her girlfriend and listened to the rings. Blazer wasn't exactly sure if she had answered or if was just getting a machine, but she decided that shed speak regardless. "Hey, it's me, I just wanted to let you know I won't be able to pick you up on my bike today, it kind of broke. So, Axel has agreed to pick you up instead. Bye, love you." Sighing she hung up and place the phone back done. "I never knew I said I'd pick her up." He was trying not to laugh as Blazer glared him down. "Well, now you are." "I might not have enough room." "Your car can seat four people, how do you not have enough room? "Sometimes I pick up Jace-" "Yeah, I don't give a damn. I'm going to take a nap and I'll see you in a few hours." He decided it was best not to say anything as she curled up on his couch and feel asleep within minutes-sometimes he fought that she even slept, she was so full of anger that he thought that she just ran off of evil. As he stood above her he watched her shiver, Crap. Taking in a deep breath he laid next to her, wrapped his arms around her, and pulled her in close to keep her warm.

Lola woke up early as usual. She raised her slinder arms above her head in a lazy stretching gesture before lazily sliding out of bed. . In a house of six girls, her mama included, the phrase "The early bird get's the worm" is something you quickly learn.

Luckily they're was four showers in their house. However due to their daddy's pride only three of them were working. The one in her room was not one of the three. She quickly and quitely took a shower and washed her hair in the master bathroom before returning to her bathroom to blowdry her hair and curl it.

It wasn't until she began to get dressed that she heard the farmiliar chaos of her home. She rolled her eyes. Ever since her oldest sister London moved back in after her boyfriend cheated on her the house has been extra rowdy.

Lola finally settled on a soft sweater, mini skirt, and boot outfit. After applying pink lip stick, mascara, and eyeliner she finally emeged from her room to the chaos. She had to admit her outfit was a bit sexy but in a very demoir way. Even though her sweate was lose her larger bust was still visible. And her skirt was very short showing off her long legs. Her hair fell in glossy soft red waves down her back.

Her mom was standing in the kitchen trying to convince Leila, the. Bookwom, to go to a party. Lauren, the wild child was giving daddy a heart attack over her newest tattoo. London, queen bee, was still in her pajamas and sill crying over Brody. Lana, the sweetheart, attempting to braid Lux's hair. While Lux, the tomboy, tried to free herself.

Lola, the social butterfly, easily manuvered it all. She gave Leila a flyer to a cool poetry reading, gave daddy his heart medicine, and told lauren her tattoo was "contraversial" and put Lux's hair in a high ponytail. Her family rolled they're eyes collectively.

Lola and Lana were the only ones in high school, London graduated from college already and worked at a party planning company. Leila went to John Hopkins medical school, London was taking a year off to "find herself" and Lux was in middle school. But Lana's health prevented her from going to regular school so she met with a tutor everyday.

Lola quickly slipped out the house after gabbing the keys to her mint green mini cooper. She quickly pulled out her phone and texted one of her best friends. Though he recently was fixated on some bitch latetly. He responded immediatly and she drove to his house to pick him up.

"Hey handsome" She said with a wink. He smiled and ran a hand through his ridiculously perfect hair. She shook out her own hair before speeding toward the school.

Once they pulled in front of the school she hopped out the car and grabbed her bag. "I can't wait for break seriously it's too cold for this" She complained. He turned his head to the side and looked her up and down. "Ha yeah the problem is the weather not the lack of clothes". Lola playfully pushed him. " Seriously though how is preacher boy gonna feel about that skin? Lola sighed "He probably won't even notice

"Ok kids, would you guys like to get food before going to school?" The first person to respond was of course Pastel. "Can we stop by Chili's to get food?" Axel looked into the mirror above his head and stared at his brother's reflection with a dumbfounded look. "What? That's where I normally go for breakfast." Blazer quickly cleared her throat and entered her say into the conversation. "We'll go to McDonald's, end of discussion." Her words of demand made the car fall into a calm silent state, aside from the laughter of Axel. He was slightly irritated from the fact that he didn't get to pick his friend up this morning, but still it was hard for him not to laugh. Being cracked up by something was always common for him, he was just that type of person.

As he drove the roads got busier and more hectic most likely from people trying to get to school as well. As he pulled to a stop sign he heard the complaining of his brother. "What's wrong back there?" Questioning it, he looked to his right to see that Blazer had unbuckled herself and was leaning over the back of her seat kissing Clara. "Sit down before you get me a ticket!" Blazer frowned, kissed Clara one last time, and then turned back to the correct sitting order and buckled herself in. "Better?" She asked as she used her hands overly dramatically as speaking. Shrugging his shoulders towards her, he then let his attention drift back to the road, where he then started the car back up and began to proceed to the nearest McDonald's.

Upon arriving he was happy to see that there was no line at all. It was a rare thing to come to a McDonald's in town and ever find one without a line.

Feeling a little lucky as he drove, he slowly pulled up to the sign that said 'Order Here'. "How may I take your order?" The voice was defiantly male, deep set, and pleasant to the ears, which immediately put a smile on the face of Axel. "Give us a moment please." Responding to the male voice. Twisting his position in his seat he made it so he could see everyone in the car. "So, what does everyone want?" "Just order a lot of everything so we all don't pick one thing and then decided later that we want something else." The suggestion, from Blazer, wasn't all that bad in Axel's opinion. "That cost a lot of money though. Do you want to pay for all that?" Pastel had to be the one to interject something so simple and somewhat brilliant. "I'm just saying if you end up getting something I decide I want I'll take it from you." Sounding as siren as possible made Pastel shut his mouth, and on the face of Blazer reigned a grin of victory. "Now that we've got this all settled we can order now." Nodding to agree Axel began to speak the order: "I'd like to order six hotcakes, six hash browns, six sausage biscuits, six sausage burritos, and six iced mochas, please." "Is that all for you?" "Yes." "Thank you, $73.74-" "What the-" Before the rude, unpredictable, loud outburst from Pastel could be finished, Axel had pushed on the gas and sped to the first window.

"A lot of food requires a lot of money my friends, please pull out your wallets." His fellow passengers gave their money to him easier than expect, and to his surprise they already had out their money. As he took it from them he was the one that had to dig around his pocket, pull out his wallet, and retrieved three tens. As he tried to straighten all the dollars and the falling change out, he felt a small body reach over him letting down the window. As the window went down the car was attack by coldness, causing most to gain goose bumps and shivers. "How about you look up?" Blazer gently used her index finger to raise his head, as she creepily smirked, and raised his head to look at the cashier. Looking the man over Axel could tell he was older than him, Gosh he's extremely good looking. Biting his lip he slowly gave the man the money. "Keep the change as a tip." His words were hesitant, but he liked it, giving extra money to attractive people was a kind thing to do. "Oh, um thanks..." "Axel, and you're welcome," glancing done at the mans name tag, he then let his eyes divert back to the siren blue eyes of the other man, "Riley." It seemed like the man was about to respond to him, but before he did he was bombarded by all of the order.

Without a word bag after bag came floating into the car and lastly the drinks. "Have a nice day, Axel." Riley had an award winning smile, that made Axel want to melt, but inside he nodded, waved, and then pulled off.

"What was the point of making me look at that boy?" Snapping his head to look at Blazer and her giddy smirk; he wanted to slap her. "I just wanted you to hurry up on our orders and all... why'd you get six of everything?" "And why'd you let that guy have our change?" Of course Pastel always made his witty comments into a conversation, but they were quickly ignored. As Blazer reached for the food she was slapped. "The extra stuff is for Jace and Lola, they're kind of our friends to I guess. "I board line hate Lola; Jace is ok though." The truthful blonde undoubtedly laughed at her own remark, along with Axel. They both shared a dislike in the same person for two complete different reasons; it was just another reason why Axel loved her. "How can you hate the hottest girl in school?" Hearing those words could have made Axel purge, to his amaze he kept himself from doing so and finally pulled into the school.

Swiftly shifting through all the food all the gang left the car together... looking fierce. Walking on the school grounds it seemed like they all looked like idiots carrying around McDonald bags, but they didn't care.

It didn't take long for Axel to spot Jace, and when he did he's face lit up. "Hey, stupid, I brought you food!" Making his way over to him and Lola he held out the bag of food and the last three remaining mochas. "We bought so much food, and I thought you two might want some... and there's enough for you as well." Taking a glance to Lola's friend before looking back at Jace.

'Who said anything about trying?" Clara asked. Mazzy unbuckled her seatbelt, Clara mimicking the action, knowing the look on Mazzy's face. Kissing Mazzy was way up there on her list of favourite things to do. She ignored Pastel "Problem there maestro?" She asked, pulling away from Mazzy for a second. Axel told Mazzy to get back in her seat and Clara smiled at the adorable face Mazzy pulled before giving her a quick final kiss.

Clara was as amazed as anyone to find McDonald's near enough empty. There was something fundamentally wrong in the world when McDonald's was this empty. She fished her purse from her bag, pulling out some notes to give to Axel. While they were waiting for the food, Clara drew patterns on the back of Mazzy's neck, finishing on a heart when the food arrived. Clara knew what Mazzy was getting at when she told Axel to look up. Clara gave the guy a look too. Sure, the guy was attractive enough, but he did exactly nothing for Clara. She only had eyes for the girls. One girl in particular.

On the drive to school, Lola somehow came into the conversation. Clara wasn't the best at following conversations first thing in the morning. "How can you hate the hottest girl in school?" Pastel asked.

"Well her attractiveness is subjective," Clara said, looking at Mazzy, "And you're a teacher now big guy, you shouldn't care."

Clara smiled politely at Lola, "I'm just gonna head to my locker," she announced to the group, pointing to her bag before heading in to the school. Clara shrugged her jacket off, the inside was proving to be much warmer than it was outside. She was thankful that the outfit she had chosen that morning wouldn't kill her in the artificial heat. Clara folded her coat and shoved it into the bottom of her locker. Clara emptied pretty much the entire contents of her bag into her locker, saving only the books she needed for her first few lessons. Clara closed her locker, leaning against it, waiting for Mazzy to appear.

Lola smiled widely as Jace kissed her. "You look beautiful but that looks pretty cold." He said taking her hand in his. Jace, trying to be nice, gave a nod to his girlfriend's best friend. "Do you mind if we wait for Axel to get here or do you want to go ahead and go inside?"She was about to respond when Axel showed up. He came with food and she nearly groaned, she was hungry but she was controlling herself "Y'all remember my sister London, right Prom Queen yada yada. Anyway she got engaged to some rat bastard. And he went and broke her lil' heart. So the whole family is dieting with her. Dear God almighty it's been hard." She said in her southern drawl. Her voice sounding like honey, all sweet and slow. "Jace, Baby, you know how I love sweets. Anyway I baked four cakes she ate em' all. " She pouted, crossing her arms over her ample chest "Every last one. Last diet I do with her, but I digress. Aaanyway I will take a Mocha, thanks hon" She said with a smile. One of her slow lazy polite smiles. The one's she reserved for people like Axel. People who hated her but still stuck around her.

She hugged Jace's arm. As much as she hated to admit it, she was cold. Her friend laughed at her. "Preacher boy is right, Lols you need to start layering up. As much as we all anjoy watching you prance around in your lil' skirts..." He said pausing "What was I talking about" He snapped his fingers" Your ass is cold."
Lola stuck out her tongue "Will you hush I'm fine. Now go chase after your little witch girlfriend and leave me alone" She said but she grinned so he knew she was joking. He bowed "As you wish Princesss" To which she scowled. Everyone knew she hated being called princess. She hated it with a deep passion. She then noticed Pastel among the group. She bit her lip before huddling closer to Jace. She hated herself for cheating on Jace but she always seemed to do it anyway. She really did love him she just loved sex too.

She turned to Jace "Speaking of which Mama said you should come over for Dinner." She pecked hi, on the lips "I'll make that pie you like"

With his school bag slung over his shoulder and the food bag in his right hand. Unlike the others he didn't just jump out of the car and rush to anyone, it was way to cold for that and he wasn't looking forward to really seeing anyone so early in the morning. Like the idiot he was he had forgotten to put a jacket on this morning, which was just another reason he dreaded getting out of the heated jeep. Some days he wished he could just skip teaching for a day, even if it was the last day for a while he. A huge reason Pastel had come back as a student teacher here, was because he's highschool experience was amazing, in his ways he wasn't completely over highschool; college was much better though and he was indeed thinking of going back for the fraternities.

Finally talking himself into leaving, he opened the door letting the cool breezes hit him. It was cold, it could have been worse, he would survive at the least.

Walking up the sidewalk he wasn't going to stop and chat with his brother, until he realized Lola was in the little huddle. A grin was drawn onto his face at her sight. He liked Lola for a few reasons, her body mainly, but her personality was somewhat like his, which made her even more appealing to him. He knew being with her in the way he was was dumb, he was a student teacher and would immediately be fired if the school board ever found out. She wasn't completely worth the risk in general, but her skills in bed made it worth it to him.

"Good morning, kids." Looking at the three younger people he smiled, being the oldest made him feel powerful. Taking a glance at Lola's outfit made his grin turn into a smirk, he loved how in the dead of winter the girl still chose to wear such a short skirt.

Bringing his coffee up to his lips he took a sip, "What happened to your coffee?" Taking in one complete last scan of Lola he then turned towards Axel. "Blazer took it, so you should give me yours." Taking another sip of his drink he then scuffed. "No, but I'll give you some help." Taking the cap off of his brothers head, he put it into his bag, and then pushed Axel's bangs up by combing his fingers through them. "Got to stay looking good for Blazer." Turning back to the other two he opened his mouth to speak directly to Lola, "I'm sure people have mentioned how it's way to cold for that, but I'm sure you're also aware of how that isn't dresscode, right? I mean that skirt is really short." Then looking over to Jace he grinned, "I beat you enjoy the view-" "Don't you have a class to go to or something?" Sighing he looked down at his watch, "Well, school's about to start, so I better get to my class. Can't wait to see you all during whatever period y'all have History." "Ugh, my first period is all boys, wellness... what fun. At least I have some friends in that class." Smiling at his brothers fake sad voice he tried his best not to laugh. He may have hated his brother's sexuality, but he still loved him. Patting his brother's shoulder without a word, he then walked away into the school building without saying a word.

Walking into his class room he found most of his students already sitting down and ready to learn or something. "You guys excited about learning today?" Most of his students weren't paying attention, expect the females that all seemed somewhat content in what he had to say.

Jace smiled, listening to his girlfriend, and ignoring his girlfriend's best friend and all of his comments about his girlfriend. "Jace, Baby, you know how I love sweets. Anyway I baked four cakes she ate em' all." Was the most recent thing that he heard his girlfriend said. Letting out a soft chuckle he shook his head. "Thought you said that your entire family was dieting with your sister. Even if you don't really need to be dieting what are you doing baking four cakes?" He mentioned then wrapped his strong arms around his girlfriend, gently pulling her close to him in an attempt to warm her up even just a little. Not once had he recognized or even noticed that Pastel was here. Reaching out he smiled, "I'll take a mocha, thanks Axel." He said as he took the mocha. Taking a single large sip from his drink he returned the same arm around her while he continued to hold the mocha in his hand.

"Good morning, kids." The sound of Pastel's voice just made him so angry. He hated Pastel with a deep passion, why? Well it didn't help that Jace's girlfriend was "hooking up" with him every now and then not to mention that Pastel was a complete ass. Jace was still pure, refusing to give up his purity until the day he got married, but of course while he vowed to give his loved on anything they wanted he couldn't give her one thing so she decided to go get it from someone else.The world must have been moving in slow motion while Jace glared knives at Pastel. Jace wanting so bad to say something didn't because well he didn't want to upset anyone. "I beat you enjoy the view-" As soon as Jace heard him say this he tightened his arms ever so slightly. No, no he didn't. He wasn't looking for what Patel was looking for. Taking quite a few huge gulps of his mocha he tried to resist saying anything to Pastel. He was a bigger man, he wasn't going to blow this out of proportion or even get too mad. Or if he did get mad he wouldn't show it. He wouldn't get too emotional because he knew many girls who wouldn't like him if he got emotional. Jace cleared his throat after taking a sip, glaring daggers at Pastel as he walked away. After several minutes he looked back at his girlfriend.

"Speaking of which Mama said you should come over for Dinner." She had pecked him, on the lips "I'll make that pie you like" He had just remembered her offer. Slowly he unwrapped his strong arms from around her, tapping a finger against his chin as he thought. "That sounds great. I would love to but I can't stay for to long if I do. My parent's want me to be at home most of the time to take care of church stuff with my dad." He added as a response, giving her a big old bear hug. Lifting her off the ground ever so slightly he glanced over at Axel grinning at him as he rushed over to him. "Almost forgot!" He chuckled, slinging an arm around his best friend's neck and carefully pulling him close to mess his hair up for him. After a minute of messing with his best friend's hair he released him, giving him a shoulder hug before returning to his girlfriend. He would have swept her off her feet but because she was wearing a skirt he decided not to.

Watching Jace's face tended to be slightly priceless. He seemed mad the second his brother arrived until the second he left. "If people were able to kill others with intense glares you would have killed my brother, Jace." His brother being dead didn't seem to upset the thoughts of Axel to much, maybe because the two of them weren't really that close anymore. Ever since Axel had told him about his sexuality the two had become distance and had fights with each other, both physically and verbally. Axel had swung back from time to time, but he tried his best never to cause to much harm to Pastel, but Pastel wasn't so caring. Some days, Axel would come to school with black eyes and bruises, but of course he'd never rat out his brother, what would be the point? Sometimes he wanted to move out to get away from his brother, but he'd have no where to go since his parents moved out of town.

Watching the two love birds made him sick, purely out of jealousy. He hated Lola so much, but he knew how much his best friend cared about her. Watching his friend intensely he noted the grin in his direction. "What?" He question was answered, but not in the responses he had been expecting. Before he knew it Jace's arm was around him, pulling him into, and then went to messing up his hair. "Pastel just fixed that for me!" Even though he complained and wiggled a little he didn't want to be let go. Amazing would have been an understatement for how this felt to him. Being touched by Jace in the simplest ways were blissful and cherished as they happened. Simple things like this forced him to dawn on the fact everything they ever did was simply just as friends, because Axel was in the friendzone, he was probably even familyzoned. The way they both acted with each other could make them be considered brothers in a way. They were together alot of the time, as if they were family.

The pleasure of being held by Jace was short lived when he was done touching his hair. When he was let go he groaned because of it, but instead saying the real reason why he just complained. "I don't have to see my hair to know it looks a mess, and now I'm going to walk into school looking stupid all because of you." When Jace went back to the side of his girlfriend it made Axel sad. Their relationship was a stupid one in his opinion, Jace was always complaining that Lola was cheating, what fun was that? He found her idiotic for that, but he also found himself stupid for really caring. He had told Jace that he should just break up with her if she was going to keep cheating, but of course that never happened. He also found himself stupid though, that he had given up a chance to be in a relationship for this. Axel might not have been in love with Marcus, but at least he would have been in a more enjoyable relationship. Dating Blazer had no perks whatsoever.

"Well, school's about to start and I have to get to Wellness with some of the coolest boys in school," as he spoke he playfully hit Jace's arm. Wellness was his favorite class for a few reasons: with his ADHD being active kept him entertained, he had friends in that class, it was all males, and he got to watch attractive people undress. "Beside the fact that the bells about to ring, it's also cold out here." If he had been normal he would have just left the two of them to freeze, but being Axel he always tried his best to nonchalantly stayed glued to the side of Jace.
