From Friend To Mate novel Chapter 1

Felix

"Come outside." The text was simple and short.

It was from my closest friend Jason. He began picking me up in the morning so we'd go school together. It was around 6:00 by the time I got out.

I gave him a huge smile and he just had a blank face as he looked at me. I was used to that. He didn't smile much.

Jason has been my friend ever since I was a child. We grew up in very different environments that's why I find it quite amazing that we were still able to find each other despite all odds.

I was around 4 years old when I first met him in a park. He was 5 and although we were both tiny he was a way bigger than me. I saw him hiding behind the climbing frame and he seemed really angry.

I went to comfort him and placed my hands over his shoulders. We were both kids and I thought it would be harmless but when he turned to me i got a bit scared. However when I touched his arm he seemed to kind of relax.

I gave him a smile and ever since then we became really close. That's when I really found out how different we actually were. He was from a very rich family who owned basically the whole entire city's hotels and were also rumored to be the boss of the most prominent gang.

However I didn't believe them and I never really had the courage to ask him about it anyways.

Not much changed about Jason as he grew up I mean he was still huge compared to me but he was a sweet guy. I also noticed how he'd get angry really quick and also be quick bossy but I didn't mind because that's how he always was.

I hopped into the car and instantly I could sense that something was wrong.

"What's wrong?" I said. I looked at him knowing that he'd struggle to lie to my face.

"My dads he's pissing me off about my birthday and how I'll have to take over the company eventually. He wants me to attend some meetings after I turn 16. So I can used to it." Jason deep voice rumbled as it filled the car with his troubles.

I instantly gave him a side eye. Jason always hated the fact that his dad was big and important figure in society he always said how he just wanted to be normal like me but that was kinda funny cause I always wished that I could be important like him.

"Jason...I know you don't like your dads company that much but he trusts you and as the oldest son you have to take over it." I stated.

I knew next to nothing about buisiness and money. But i did know that sometimes jason didn't want to do things because he was scared and not because he genuinely disliked it.

"In fact if you hate it that much then promise to help you and we can get through this together. " I finally said looking up at him in the car.

He's stared into my eyes. Our gazes fighting with each other before he turned back after he scoffed. "You sure?"

"Make sure to remember to bring your homework tomorrow. I'll set the new homework online and I'd also like you to completely that for tomorrow." the teacher said as the students in the class poured out, as the students of the next lesson poured in.

I hated class changes especially when Jason wasn't there. Because of my small height It was hard for me. I was always pushed a tossed around until the crowed cleared up a bit. I was shoved at the side and flew across the hall bumping into someone else. "Hey watch what your doing!" the voice said.

I lowly mumbled a sorry and went to move out of his way.

"What did you say. I didn't hear you"the voice pressed on further getting more aggravated.

Oh my gosh please don't let this become I big thing.

" I said sorry" I tried to tell him but the crowd was so loud and I'm guessing he misinterpreted what I just said.

"What do you say fag?" The voice boomed over me as he pushes me into the locker. Why did he choose to call me that? Was it obvious?

Immediately a crowed began to form and that's when I got a look at who I was talking to. Philip. One of the schools bullies. Gosh. What do I do now.
