I finally finished my essay at twelve in the morning and Chip is past out on my bed. I smiled and took my pajamas and went to go get changed downstairs. I got my pillow,laptop,and phone then I walked downstairs and laid everything on the couch. I got changed and put a blanket on the couch. I laid down listening to Guns and Roses. "Kate,Kate!" I jumped "Wh-what?" "I can't sleep." "You're seventeen years old get over yourself." He tugged me up then made me lay on top of him. "I hate you." He was already asleep but holding me really tight. I woke up at five thirty in the morning my alarm busting my ears. I turned it off the shimmied out of Chips arms. I got up and went in the kitchen, I turned on the stove and put eggs on a frying pan. I put up my hair and put eggs on a plate. "Chip get up breakfast!" "Hm? Oh I'm up what's for breakfast?" "Eggs now eat then get dressed." "Okay." He got up and sat on the bar stool. "Thanks!" I smiled "No problem." I started to walk upstairs and looked down the banister. "I'm going to get dressed." He didn't say anything. I walked to my room and shut the door. I dressed in a red and white striped shirt with overalls over the shirt and wearing white converse. I walked downstairs with my hair in a ponytail. "Ready? Go get dressed." His mouth dropped and he threw me his jacket. "You're not wearing that unless you're wearing my jacket." "But it's huge on me." "Too bad." He zipped it up then ran upstairs. "I don't like this." Chip came downstairs and somehow had a backpack. "Let's go I'm driving." "But I like driving." "Oh come on sweetheart." "Okay but stray away from school and I'll drive for the rest of the year." "Deal." He grabbed the car keys and started walking outside. "Are you coming?" "Yeah...sure." I walked out and got locked the door with my own house key. I got into the passenger side and immediately put his hand on my thigh. "Just because you forced me to sleep with you doesn't mean you can still touch me." "My jacket begs to differ." I smiled and then looked out the window . He's acting completely different from when he was in prison more...happy. "You okay?" I looked up "What? Oh yeah I-I'm fine." I saw my high school in my line of vision. And thought that this wasn't going to be so bad. I was wrong we got out of the car and everyone was staring at Chip. He wrapped his arm around me and pulled me close to him. "You can let me go now." "No." I sighed then saw Jessica running up to me and Chip loosened his grip. "She's hot." I smiled "Kate is this your brother?!" "Yeah his name is-" "James Villander but you can call me Chip for short." She laughed "Well thanks for the introduction. My name's Jessica." "You're hot." I elbowed him "Kate!" I saw Marcus and Wendy "Hey Biatch!" "Please stop calling me that." Marcus hugged me. I could feel Chips eyes burning a hole in the back of my head. I wasn't paying attention and he kissed my cheek. I started blushing madly. "I hate you!" He started to laugh "Love ya too babe." I could see my brothers fist turning white his eyes becoming the same lifeless eyes that I saw when I always visited him. "Um so...I think I just heard the bell ring Jessie come on we have to go!" "Oh okay Chip you have class with us too right?" "Yeah I'll tag along with you guys!" I let out a sigh of relief. Thank god he went back to normal. He walked with us everyone in the hall looking at him and greeting me. Our first class is English. We walked in and I sat in the back where I usually sit; the teacher paying no mind to Chip. "Kate." "Yes ma'am?" "Would you like to explain to the whole class what a stanza in a poem is?" "A stanza is a group of lines forming the basic recurring metrical unit in a poem." "Very good." I smiled "Thank you." "How did you know that?" "I study for the test what you didn't?" "No! I was busy hanging out with Wendy and Marcus." "Oh okay so friends is more important then studying?" She laughed and nudged me."Be quiet." I looked over to check if Chip was okay and surprised to see that he was actually focusing on the teacher. The bell rung and we went to second period,then third, then fourth, and so on until eighth period. "So how did you like your first day back at school?" "It was fun I guess." "Did you make any friends?" " Only Jessica." "Branch out more there are a lot of interesting people in this school." "I will." I walked to the car putting my stuff in the back seat and getting into the front seat. "Take us home and no where else." "Yeah...sure" We drove home and once we got inside I rushed to the dining room table placing my stuff on the ground and starting my homework for the week. "Is this what you do every time you come home?" "Only on school days... you can watch something I don't mind." He turned on the TV and put on football; of course. I put in my headphones and started listening to music while working. I finished at eight thirty and then made dinner for us. After dinner I took a shower and got ready for bed. "Hey Chip I'm going to bed so if you need anything just nudge me up Okay?" "Yeah got you." "Good night." "Uh Huh Goodnight." I walked into my room and shut my door slowly falling into a deep sleep.
