RoninMaximus Presents: My Boring, Shitty Life 11
Riley is just starting out in life, but thus far, is unimpressed. He's still in high school and having trouble finding himself in a world where everyone around him feels like they have it all together. In the past few weeks, he's joined a motorcycle club and started wearing his grandfather's legacy cut, gotten his first tattoo, rescued a damsel in distress, crushed on a few different girls, and gotten into a few fights. Recently, he was used and abused by the older woman next door as repayment for saving the damsel. Currently, there's a party in the basement at a certain cheerleader's house, only this party wasn't the one he'd been invited to. Things will heat up bit by bit along the way. All characters mentioned are over the age of eighteen, because, reasons, and as always this is a work of fiction.
The look of shock, hurt, and anger on Matt's face told me he was wishing his life was over. Brett's face was one of smug glee. The look on Michelle's face was of regret and embarrassment. I couldn't see my own face, but I assume it was one of righteous sympathy.
I placed my hand on Matt's arm as Michelle started bawling out excuses, begging her boyfriend to hear her out. I'd never seen her look so scared, nor him so crushed.
If it had been me, Brett would have been fighting for his life with his pants down. Matt's reaction highlighted his pain. His face scrunched up as he tried to hold back tears. He pulled me into a crushing hug and sobbed, hiding his face from the betrayers.
Brett laughed loudly and I shot him a glaring look. "This isn't over Brett." I told him. He held his arms out and shrugged, still smiling with his dick out. I cradled Matt against my shoulder, pausing only to push Michelle's hand away before she could touch him, and took Matt upstairs.
I ignored the looks we got from the other party goers as I helped Matt to my truck, sent Kelsey a text, and rushed off. Matt cried against the window the whole way home.
Kelsey met up with us in the driveway with her parents in tow. They all thanked me as Matt's dad pulled his son in for a hug. They didn't know the story, but I had texted Kelsey that Matt was hurt. She responded with 'hospital?!" And I managed to lob off 'emotional' before she had time to panic. I was glad she left it at that since I was driving and couldn't deal with the distractions.
I left them with Matt in the driveway, telling Matt that to call me if he wanted to talk, and that I'd be by as soon as he needed me. He didn't respond, but Kelsey and her Mom Kacy nodded at me to go.
I was pissed for my buddy, but it wasn't like I hadn't warned him about Brett. I'd help him any way I could, but I wasn't going to fight his battles for him. He'd never heal on his own if I did. Callous, I know, but it was true.
The next day at the club, I told Rhett and Trash about the whole thing. They were helpful, and approved of the way I handled it. They gave me shit for Matt's reaction, saying he sounded just like Crybaby, then told me how Crybaby got his name, and then moved on to have me polish the executive table where the seniors met.
It was my first time in there, as it was reserved for senior members only, and I was just there to clean. I tried not to look like a pervert as I polished it up. Odd thing to say, but it's how I felt. The wood top was one massive piece, probably 12x4 feet and around 6 inches thick. Carved into it was a semi naked woman squatting on her heels and playing with herself while wearing daisy dukes, a cowboy hat, and boots. She was carved to be fit, and busty. See, hard to not look like a perv.
When I'd finished, I asked Trash why they didn't fill in the table with epoxy or something to preserve the carving. He laughed and replied, "and miss out on the prospects adjusting their dicks tryin' to clean her up? No way!" I laughed with him and grabbed my dick for emphasis, making him laugh again.
"Fuckin' weirdo." I told him.
Monday at school I busied myself checking the rumor mill. Matt was out, understandably, and the rumor mill was buzzing with speculation about what happened Friday night. I checked Brett's conquest list, and knew it was over between Matt and Michelle. Her name was crossed out, and that upset me, but not as much as seeing Darcy's name as a new addition on the list. I reminded myself to fill her in on the rumor mill and what that meant.
She guffawed at the concept when I told her at lunch. "Seriously?! That's fucking insane. He's not even cute." I shrugged at her and went on eating my lunch. "Besides, I have a boyfriend, so there's-"
"Wait! What?" I asked.
She looked at me in sympathy. "My boyfriend?" I nodded. "He's in California."
"So what was that the other day then?"
She smiled slyly. "If you must know, Mr. Nosy, we kind of have this on again off again thing going on."
"So you guys were-"
"Off."
"But now you're?"
"On."
"And that leaves me?"
"SOL." She shrugged.
I chuckled. "Okay, so how does this work moving forward?"
She sighed, "look Riley. You're my best friend. I love you, but I'm not IN love with you."
"But you're in love with him?"
She nodded. "It's complicated, but yeah. That's the gist of it."
I smiled, "so I don't need to feel guilty about hooking up on Friday?"
She laughed outright. "NO! But you do need to dish. Spill it!"
The rest of lunch was spent with me quietly explaining the events of Friday night. It was cathartic, having someone who I could tell everything to without worrying about who else she might tell. I knew I could trust her, she was always good about that sort of thing. "Wow stud. I'm proud of you."
"Proud?" I asked.
