SAGE novel Chapter 33

Sage Miller

Just so you know, when I said I was excited for school to reopen I didn't mean the waking up early part.

Right now I'd do anything to turn back to a couple of days back so I can sleep. The hang over isn't helping.

Someone should've told me last night how much of a bad idea it was drinking the before school opened.

I would've given that person a million dollar if they told me.

"Go away Connor." My voice came out muffled and hoarse.

"Oh come on. If I let you sleep I would never hear the end of it. From you. So please end my misery and get up." He whined and his voice was loud.

"Go away." I told him slower this time.

"If you wanna show off your new car, you have 15 minutes to take a bath and eat breakfast. I already did breakfast. It will get cold."

"I'll eat it cold." Even though I was now awake, my eyes refuse to open. My body refuse to get up.

In the summer I could count how many times I actually had to wake up before 9am.

Once. I did that shit once. And I was pissed the whole day after doing that.

"Come on. You're already awake. Now get up." He groaned and I think he stumped his foot in annoyance

"Five more minutes." I muttered.

He sighed heavily and I inwardly smiled.

Just as I thought he gave up, he said something that got me to my feet in less than a second.

"Sebastian is leaning against your car." I was on my feet in seconds. The desire to have five more minutes gone.

His laughed told me he was fucking with me. I scowlled at him as he laughed.

"Fuck you Connor." I snapped at him not happy with him, not that he cared.

"I should've started with that. I don't know why didn't I think of it early. It would've saved me so much time." He teased.

Just then my hang over caught on with me and my mind made connections of last night.

"Holy shit you're DK." I exclaimed and winced when I heard my own loud voice.

He grumbled.

"I thought we established that last night." He groaned.

"I was drunk." I stated.

"But I wasn't. Now go take a shower. We gonna be late." He said. "You do wanna show off your new car, don't you?"

I rolled my eyes as I walked down the hall to the bathroom.

"By the way. I'm staying at my mom's tonight." He yelled just as I started the shower.

"Ain't you racing tonight?" I asked him.

Last night we didn't get to talk much about his 'job'. Between the excitement of his win and the fact that he's DK, we didn't talk much.

We got really really drunk. Or at least Sebastian and I did.

"Narh. It's one of those rare days when I don't race." He replied.

"By the way. You didn't tell me much about your boss Maze, I think is his name. How did you even end up working for him? And I thought I'd meet him last night. After all I want to see why you hate him so much."

"Yeah his name is indeed Maze. You wouldn't like him though. He's a real dick. Let's not mention Sebastian, they'd probably fight. And as for how I got to work for him, that's a long story and illegal." He yelled back.

"Illegal?" I yelled shocked. "You did something illegal. It shouldn't surprise me because you're racing illegally but it does. I've never imagined you doing something illegal."

"Shut up and shower. We're gonna be late for your show." He yelled.

I laughed and continued my shower.

Ten minutes later I was feeling fresh and ready to take on the world.

I walked inside the kitchen and Connor was already finished with his breakfast and washing his dishes.

Just as I sat down, the door bell rang. I groaned.

"It's too early for visitors. I haven't even had my breakfast." I whined like a two year old.

Connor rolled his eyes at me.

"That must be Sebastian. I invited him for breakfast." He told me and my jaw dropped.

My eyes widen in shock as I stared at him.

Who is this man and what havens done with Connor?

He keeps shocking me lately.

"Oh come on, don't give me that look. I told you I'd try." He said.

"I really appropriate yiur efforts." I told him and two seconds later Sebastian walked in, in all his Sebastian glory.

"You're late." Connor deadpanned.

"He's still eating." Sebastian pointed at me. I shrugged and ate some more.

"He was late. Can't you two just wake up on time for once." He scolded.

"I bought you a peace offering." He took out a pack of gummy bears and Connor beamed at him.

"Fine you're forgiven." He told Sebastian but his attention was on the pack of gummy bears.

"Keep this up and I might never let you go." He said.

"Oh hey, where is mine?" I whined.

"Jealous isn't a good look on you Sage." Connor mumbled.

Connor accidentally let out a moan, I was almost positive he didn't realise he let it slip.

Addict.

Sebastian and I locked gaze before we bursted out laughing.

Connor snapped his eyes opened and stared at us curiously.

"What's so funny?" He asked.

We locked gaze again before we smirked.

"Nothing." We simultaneously said.

We finished our breakfast and we were done and ready to leave.

I was very glad for our school's code of conduct. When grandma said she wanted to transfer me to a private school. I refused.

I couldn't see myself in slacks and blazer. Basically a uniform.

I'm not that kind of person. I more of a tee kind of guy. Besides I'm not a snob so why attend a snobbish school. I would never fit in.

Unlike how I fit in my current school.

Connor, Sebastian and I were wearing almost the same thing.

We all were wearing blue jeans but Connor had a simple white tee and white sneakers while Sebastian had a blank grey tee and black sneakers.

Me on the other hand went a bit overboard. I was the dramatic one out of the three. Even my clothes said drama.

I had paired the blue jean with a blank bright pink tee with white sneakers.

I looked adorable. Yeah I did.

Pink can defiantly be my color.

"Are you guys ready to take the student body by storm?" I asked them as we walked to our separate cars.

I had given Connor my car since he sold his.

"Are you ready to be the talk of the damn school?" I hyped them.

"Are you ready assholes?" I asked one last time.

This was the plan this year. We become popular. We play girls. We become players.

"I was born ready." Connor said hyped out.

"Never been more ready." Sebastian added.

"Then gentleman. We are the man." I told them as we did our one time three fist pump.

"Let's rock this thing." Connor said.

I was really glad they made up before we returned to school.

The most dangerous trio was back. Back to take on the world as we might know.

We drove to school. Each one on their own car. I had given Connor my consent to personalise my car to more of his style and he did.

He repainted it and changed the rims. And some other body work.

Both Sebastian were driving Audis just different models.

When we entered the parking lot everything stopped. All eyes were on us.

Friends who were hugging stopped. Lovers who were kissing stopped. Nerds stopped. They mostly stared at my car.

Everyone wanted to see who was driving such car. My windows were tinted so they couldn't really see me.

I loved Each moment of the attention. I felt the power of driving such car.

Luckily we found parking spots next to each other and we park.

The student body's eyes followed us everywhere.

I smirked as I stepped out of my car. I saw eyes widen, shock, jaws dropped.

Sebastian and Connor joined me as we walked towards the building together.

"We haven't even done anything yet they're shaken." Connor commented.

We overheard little parts of conversation as we walked to the reception to get our schedule and lockers.

Is that really his car?

Where do you think he got the money?

I bet he sold his kidney.

I snickered when I heard the last one.

I saw one of the girls turn Red. They thought they were being discrete.

We got our schedules and lockers. We were now on our way to the homeroom.

We didn't share most of the class together but we did have the same homeroom and lunch break.

The whispers were getting louder with each passing minute.

"Sage. I'm glad we have the same room." I heard her squishing voice before I saw her.

I saw Connor snort and Sebastian detached himself from the situation as he dragged Connor with him.

"Good luck. You gonna need it." He said and Connor bit his knuckles so he wouldn't laugh at me.

I thought of walking away pretending like I didn't hear her but before I could decide she wrapped her hands around my waist.

"Hey Kate." I said to her. The last time I saw her was at the first summer party.

That was almost three months ago. I had even forgotten she exists. I couldn't be more happier if she didn't exists.

"Long time no see Sage. I think you blocked me because my calls went straight to yiur voicemail." She rambled.

"I think I changed my number a while ago." I lied effortlessly.

"You should give me your new number so I could call you." Why would she assume I want to call her.

She's so delusional.

From the other side of the room, Connor and Sebastian were having fun at my expense.

They were laughing and teasing me.

"I want you to meet my new friend. She just started here." Kate told me.

I rolled my eyes like I cared.

"This is Chloe. She just moved here from California." My eyes were met with a familiar face.

She was at my house not so long ago with her friends Gemma and Cara.

Oh cara. Not many woman can master the arts of woman on top bit Cara did master it. But not like my Smurf though. No pecan surpass her.

"You." We both said at the same time.

It truly is a small world.

My eyes moved to the other side of the room.
