Average Boy – Episode 38
Chapter 38
(Quarter Final)
Beck Oliver’s POV
I looked at Tori
Me: I’m not pissing you off just because I’m pinching you
Bene : you’re pinching her. Ouch!
Tessa: I thought I heard stop turning me on
Bene : yeah me too
Me: no… She said stop pissing me off
They furrowed their brows
Tori: why are you both looking like that?
Bene shrugged
Tessa: nothing.. Another picture?
Tori: no… Our tea might get cold
Bene: so how are we gonna get the tea with our parents stuck in a giant sweater
Me: we’re not stuck. We can move freely
Tessa: okay then
They both sat down and began to look at the picture Bene just took
Tori sighed in relief and I traced my hand up to her tummy and rubbed her. She giggled silently and we walked to the kitchen
Me: you should be grateful to me for saving you from those two
Tori: come to think of it, how come they know what turning on means
I shrugged
Me: internet and all that. Nothing is hidden anymore
Tori: okay… Maybe we should do something about that. They’re not even teenagers yet
Me: let’s forget about them for now and drink our hot tea.
I kissed her ear. She chuckled and held unto one end of the tray then I held unto the other. We took it to the living room and dropped it on the table. Tori poured it out into mugs and we sat down to drink. Tori was sitting on my legs and I was caressing her thighs

Tessa Oliver’s POV
I am more than excited this morning. I can’t believe I’m going to be in the United States of America in the next few hours.
I know Mexico and USA are as close as your index finger to your middle finger in terms of location. But I still see it as its as further away like the moon and stars
Bene said their house is a mansion. I hope I live there. I just can’t wait
I arranged my things into one big luggage. I had already said goodbye to my friends and had given out or sold the things I couldn’t take into the plane, like my bed, standing mirror and all those things
Dad had already told the landlord to look for another tenant. He was as excited as I was. He said he missed his former life

It was Tori’s limo that drove us to our town from the capital since it wasn’t a long journey.
I looked at my empty room one last time. I’m sure I’m going to miss this little room of mine. I did so many undercover jobs here.
My dad opened the door
Dad: you’re coming or not young lady?
Me: if I don’t come, then who will?
He chuckled and opened the door wide for me to pull my luggage through
Dad: do you need help with that?
Me: nope, I’ll pull it to the limo
He nodded and closed the door.
We entered the limo after our bags were tucked under the booth.
Mom Tori couldn’t come because she had to meet up with some things before we travel. Only Bene tagged along and he has been helping me out with all things I had to do.
He didn’t help with pulling the bags to the car because he’s online, playing video games against one of his friends in the USA
I sat beside him and arranged my shoe laces. Dad sat opposite us and brought out his phone
Me: Bene, aren’t you tired of playing that? You’ve been here for over an hour
Bene : shush… I’m about to win
I chuckled
The car began to move slowly, out of the front of the house.
I took a Pepsi cola can from the ice bowl on a small table and opened it
Bene : well I lost!
He threw the phone on the chair dad was sitting on
Me: oops! Too bad. So what’s the deal with him?
Bene : that I let my sister mow his lawn
I blew out the drink I just sipped and luckily, it didn’t spill on Dad’s face
Me: what?
Bene : that was the deal
He took a cracker from a bowl filled with different types of cookies
Bene : so you gotta learn how to mow a lawn and how to control a lawn mower. I ran my fingers into my hair to detangle the ends
Me: what makes you think I don’t know how to do that?

Bene : you do? I don’t believe you
Me: I wasn’t raised in a mansion like you with servants at your beck and call
Bene : but dad said he didn’t let you do much
Me: well, that’s true.
Dad: Bene, she doesn’t know how to mow the lawn. I didn’t teach her
Me: but I begged you to
Dad: it’s dangerous. What if you stumbled over and mowed your hair out Bene laughed
Bene: then you’d be having bald spots in your hair cause the mower wouldn’t cut all of it
I pouted and sipped my drink
Dad: wow, thank God it’s connecting
He quickly put the phone to his ear. That must be mom
Bene: do you know why mom really couldn’t come with us?
Me: no… Why?
Bene: because she had to shop for special scissors for Jade. The scissors are really large and can cut through thick robes
Me: why does Jade want it?
Bene : for some movie. I would have thought it was for dad but she’s done ripping people’s hair. She says it’s too much work
Me: wow! I can’t wait to meet her. I already got her book
He smiled
Well, from the way they all spoke about her, I decided to buy her a book containing all the brutal weapons used in the past. It was a collection from Chinese weapons, Japanese weapons, Mexican weapons, weapons from The Ancient Roman Empire, Egypt and The Ancient Israel. Other minor nations were also there.
Dad finished with the phone call
Dad: mom is already at the airport
Me: so soon?
He nodded
Bene : wow it’s the first time you referred to her as ‘mom’ and not ‘Tori’ like you always do
Dad: haha, you’re too smart for your age. I wonder what you’ll be like at fifteen
Bene : that’s five years from now… Hmm, maybe a guru
I rolled my eyes
Me: in your dreams… I’d be way smarter then. I’ll be 17 years…. Wow!
Bene : why are you even older than me again?
I gave him a tongues out
Beck Oliver’s POV
We arrived at Tori’s own house. She said she bought it when Bene was eight. That’s two years ago
The house is awesome. Two storeys. With a fleet of cars parked outside
I was really impressed. She’s grown into a very important personality in the whole of Los Angeles
We entered the house and met with her dad, Trina, Cat and Andre. No Jade
I was really really happy to see them all. Gosh! Andre had grown into a man. A handsome black man. His long dreadlocks were gone. And he was now on a fancy haircut with very short dreads
Cat’s hair was no longer red. She was now carrying her original hair color, strawberry blonde hair.
Cat is now a diva. So fashionable and beautiful
I’m sorry to say this but she was even more beautiful than Tori
Her character changed a lot. So mature now and talks less. I guess ten years really got everyone to change
Tessa was so happy. She was already talking happily with Cat who was beginning to speak out compared to when we first arrived
My future father-in-law walked up to me with a drink after we finished having lunch by the poolside
Mark: Beck… I’m so glad you’re alive
I smiled
Me: all thanks to God
Mark: our lives are finally complete. I’m so glad Benedict finally has a father
I chuckled and looked at the Benedict who was standing next to Tessa. They both were talking with Trina
Mark: I hope you’re here to stay
I nodded
Me: certainly. I’m back and back for good
Mark: I’m sorry about your mom
I sighed. Mom’s case is still a sore wound
Mark: I’m sorry about it. But we just had to do it
Me: you’re right. What she did was too wrong to be let off. She deserved it.
He patted my shoulder
Mark: well, we thank God for everything. You can go on and talk with the others
He left to the house. I looked at Andre who was making a phone call
I walked to him and stood beside him.
He smiled
Andre : we’re at the yard, by the pool. Okay… Love you
He dropped the phone and stared at me
Me: yeah.. I know.. I got a lot of explaining to do
Andre: you know I’m gonna punch you right
Me: what?
He gave me a hard blow on the cheek. I staggered backwards a little and held my jaw
Everyone looked to our direction
Me: I deserved that
Then they laughed and went back to their businesses.
Andre: you did me wrong bruh
Me: I’m so sorry
Andre: what were you thinking? You punk!
I laughed
Me: I was outta my mind
He laughed
Andre: we got lots of things to catch up on dude. A lot has happened
I smiled. I heard something murmurs from the guys. I looked at saw them staring at Jade Who stood by the pool
Jade: oops! Did… I… Miss.. The… Party?
She just spoke like Maleficent, Mistress of Evil.
Her eyes darted to me and to Tessa
Andre moved forward to her
Andre: hey babe… You missed the party
He kissed her and my eyes widened.
Andre?
Jade?
Babe?
Kiss?
Man! A lot has happened
