Drive to school

Vincent's POV

"Babe, wake up it's 5:14 am." I said trying to wake up Adria.

"No, let me sleep for some time." She said caressing my chest.

"Okay then, let your mom know that you are not in your room." I said controlling my laugh when she got up instantly. There was drool on her face and her hair is a mess but still, she looked as beautiful as ever.

"Ewww!" she said brushing the drool off her face.

"Aren't you adorable?" I said pinching her cheeks.

"Only you will say that looking at me in this avatar."

"I'm lucky to see you like this every day then." I told her which made her smile.

"Aren't you the best boyfriend." She said kissing my cheek.

"Now go, your mom is awake I guess." Her eyes were wide open.

"Shit!" she cursed before running towards the window. I slept for some time knowing she would do the same thing. Our school starts at 9:00 am.

"Vincent! Get up you are late." I heard my mom's voice.

"I'm up." I said getting up. I walked towards the bathroom.

I took a shower and got dressed in my washed clothes and garments. After getting ready for school, I heard my phone ring. I looked at the screen to see Adria is calling.

"Hello?"

"Get your ass down in five seconds, emergency!" she stated and dropped the call. Strange I thought before getting down the stairs to go outside. Ava is dancing in the living room while dad is reading his morning newspaper.

"Vincent, come join." Ava yelled when she saw me. I shook my head going outside.

I saw Adria standing along with her mom. I acted as if I'm going to school. When I was about to open my car door I heard Adria's mom's voice. The weird thing is I don't have my bag nor I'm wearing any footwear.

"Vincent." I turned around when Adria's mum called me.

"Good morning aunty." I greeted her with a smile on my face.

"Good morning son. How are you?"

"I'm doing good, aunty. How are you and how is your health?" She smiled showing her dimples.

"The medicine worked, I'm not sick anymore. As you can see I'm healthy and happy." I smile hearing her words. I tried my best not to gaze at Adria who is making kissey lips in the background.

"If there is no problem can you please give Valerie a lift to school?"

"I don't wanna go with that dick-head." Adria complained with a fake frown on her face. Her mother's eyes widen, she turned around to look at Adria.

"Valerie! Language!" her mom scolded her. I raised my brow at her. When her mom turned to me, Adria gave me a smirk. I hide my smile.

"No problem aunty, I will drop her." I said politely.

Her mother gave me a smile before telling Adria to behave. I always respected Adria's mother, she is a very independent woman and a great mother. But her family members don't like me for what reasons I don't know.

While Adria spoke with her mom I called Ava. I left the car door open for her before going to my side. I don't want my mom or hers to see that gesture. She got into the car and buckled her seat belt.

"What are you waiting for?" Adria asked in a fake attitude.

I waited for my sister to bring my bag. I saw her walking towards me with a frown on her face. When her gaze shifted to the person beside me, the frown changed to surprise.

"Hey! Valerie." She said to Adria. She handed me my bag and sneakers. I put my bag in the back seat while Ava walked over to Adria's side.

"Hey, girl!" Adria greeted back.

"You with my brother huh?" My sister asked her making me groan.

"Yeah, thinking about how to kill him in the car." Adria joked winking at my sister. Which made both of them laugh. Adria is loved by my whole family which I'm happy about.

"Don't. He is the only brother I have and he is the only enemy you have." Ava spoke making Adria chuckle.

"True."

"Who is going to drop me?" Ava asked me. Usually, Ava's school starts at 9:30 am. I drop her off at the school grounds.

"Dad will drop you."

"Valerie, are you joining the Halloween dancing club?" Ava asked Adria.

"I haven't decided yet. I will tell you later."

"Sure, I would be happy if you joined the club. The others are very rude and boring." Ava commented. I don't know they were rude to her. I will ask Ava about her dance group in the evening.

"I know right. I will talk to you later about that." Adria replied.

"If your chit-chat is over, can I start the car."

"I will come over today and we will have a sleepover like old days as my parents are going to pops home." Adria said.

"That sounds fun! we can have so much fun tonight." I started driving the car, "You are not having a sleepover."

"What? No, I will have." She argued.

"Then what about me?" I asked her.

"What about you? You can also join the sleepover as you remember we all sleep in the living room."

"No, everyone will come if you are coming home, I can't sleep beside you. Ava and Olivia will sleep beside you." I said because that's true every time she comes for a sleepover it turns into a family night, everyone will be present in the living room watching a movie then sleeping there on the makeshift mattress.

One thing which I love most about Adria is that right from her childhood she always said that my family is her second family and she always makes everyone laugh in my home.

"Call the boys home, it's been a while."

"You met them last week for math."

"One week away is a while for me." She says flicking her back and tieing it into a ponytail.

"Babe, sing a song for me."

"Which one?"

"Photograph."

She knows my passion for music. She always loved it when I sang a song for her. I'm planning to enrol in a music academy after my high school or start recording my own music. I intertwined my fingers with hers before I started singing the song.

By the end of the song, we reached the school road. The road is empty as we are early to school. I kissed her hand before pulling towards the gates. I stopped my car so that Adria can step out.

"Bye hubby, I love you." she said giving me a kiss.

"Bye love, take care, tell that Paul kid to stay away." I said.

"Yup!"

"I'm serious Adria, don't do something stupid."

She gave me a thumbs-up before going out and started walking towards the school. I dropped her outside because I don't want to make her uncomfortable when people ask questions. I drove inside saw the boys standing near the tree where we usually park our cars.

We did the bro hugs, "sleepover in my home."

"Is it compulsory?" Celeb asked.

"Adria's request." I said and they quickly nodded their heads. She gets upset if they don't join the sleepover, they don't like to upset her.

"Vincent, our boy Celeb is going on a date." Axel said making Celeb hiss.

"It's not a date Axel! it's just a friendly meet and she is coming to my home." Celeb snaps.

"Lol, that's because you don't have time to go out so that girl is coming to your place." Axel spoke. I stood beside Brad.

"You didn't ask her out for a date? Mainly who is she?" I asked him.

"My mum wants me to meet her. Her name is Rebbeca or something, she is my mum's friend's daughter." Celeb said.

"But man, go to her home and pick her up. If you can't take her out then try to pick her up from her home. Think about how awkward and uncomfortable she would feel." I tell him.

"Don't eat all the food, offer her first." Axel jokes. Celeb is a big foodie. The only thing he loves the most is food.

"Food, yeah food. I'm carving chow mein, let us go to the Chinese restaurant tommorow." He says. Brad chuckles while Axel rolls his eyes.

"You are an idiot." Axel says as we start walking towards our class.

"I'm not, you are."

"No, you."

"You."

"Fine, we both are idiots." Axel said making me and Brad laugh.

"You two really sounded like kids." Brad said turning around to see them.

"We are kids by heart. dad." Celeb said getting on Brad's back. people around us looked at us.

"Stop being a monkey." Brad says carrying Celeb on his back.

"I don't understand why a grown-up man like Celeb loves piggyback rides." Axel says taking Brad's backpack.

"Piggyback rides are love. You are just jealous that Brad doesn't give you piggyback rides." Celeb says.

When it was the third period my phone vibrated. I pulled my phone out of my pocket to see a message from Adria.

"You have a singing class after school?"-Mrs Morris.

"Yup and you have a dance class after school hours."-Vincent.

"Yup and pick me up."-Mrs Morris.

"Your wish will be granted malady." -Vincent.

After the class, I walked towards the canteen to see Adria sitting between her girls giving no chance for that Paul kid to sit beside her. I sat down beside Axel. I took out the box which Adria gave me.

"Is that a lunch box, what did you bring?" Celeb asked me.

"Yeah, a chicken sandwich made by Adria" I said.

She actually packed four sandwiches knowing clearly boys would also eat. I gave each of them one. They always loved her cooking.

I looked at her table to see her laughing at what her friend said. Adria don't have any close friend. She always trusts few people and she doesn't like any girl in her squad and school. The only people with whom she is herself is with me, Ava and the boys.

"Are you going to come home bro?" I asked Brad who is looking distant.

"I will." he answered.

"Good, mumma and dad asked you. They miss you man, come home often. You know about them right? how worried they get when they don't see your face."

"I will talk to them. I know I didn't come these days, they are worried about me." He replied eating his sandwich.

"Celeb tell your mumma that you will be staying in my home."

"I already messaged her that I will be going to your home after school."

"Cool."

"Axel did you message your mum?" I ask him.

"Nah, they aren't home I messaged granny."

"Granny? your granny is here?" Celeb asked Axel grabbing fries from Brad's plate.

"Yeah, I told you last night when you called me. She came yesterday as mum and dad are busy with their new hotel project." Axel spoke.

"That's good. Let us hang out with granny. It's been a while that we spoke with granny." I say and they all agree. We are close with Axel's granny and Celeb's parents.

Celeb's parents are lit, they make you laugh till your stomach hurts. They both are one of a kind. I always adored Celeb's parents, they are one of the sweetest couple I ever met.
