Ye Ol Switcheroo


CHAPTER TWO

Luke

 

I met Ashley after school and we walked home. She told me that school today sucked because she failed her AP Calculus test and I told her about my new discovery of Seth and Ms. C.

 

      “Ewh. She is so old. Why would Seth go after her?”

 

Ashley used to have a major crush on my brother but that was before she realized how much of a dick he was. I shrugged but inside I was loathing Seth. He knew how much I liked the hot Spanish teacher and how hard I worked to get her. I had finally given up sophomore year but that didn’t mean that knowing they were having secret sex meetings made it better. I laughed and Ashley asked what was so funny.

 

      “I asked Seth how Ms. C was before I went back to class and I was just remembering his face.”

 

We got to Ashley’s house but no one was home so I invited her over.

 

      “Where is everyone?”

 

She shrugged but we both knew that everyone at her house went to go support Leslie at the game today. We got to my house and as soon as I walked in our Great Dane, Tiny, came running up to me. He licked me all over then went onto his usual business. I loved dogs because unlike people they don’t care what you look like or what you wear as long as you show them love. Seth always swears that he hates dogs but I catch him holding Tiny like a baby sometimes. We head up to my room and blast the stereo. I do my AP Microeconomics work and Ashley starts her AP Psychology work. I glance up at her and realize that she is staring out the window.

 

      “Do you think that college is going to be better, Luke?”

 

I shrugged.

 

      “I hope so because I don’t think my head could take another four years of swirlies.”


She laughs and then goes back to doing homework. Her question got me thinking, though. What if college wasn’t better? What if the dicks in high school were actually nice compared to the dicks in college? I decided to stop thinking about it and continue my work. Ashley finishes and tells me that she is going to call her parents and ask them what time they are going to be home. I nod and tell her that I am going to see what my mom made for dinner. I leave her just as she is dialing the numbers. I rush downstairs and meet my mom in the kitchen. I go up behind her and hug her tight. She laughs and turns around.

 

      “How was school?”

 

I shrug and she realizes the big bump on my head.

 

      “What happened?”

 

      “I fell.”

 

She crosses her arms and looks at me.

 

      “Did Seth hit you again?”

 

I shake my head but I can tell she doesn’t believe me.

 

      “No really mom. I slipped and fell in the bathroom.”

 

She sighs and goes back to cooking. My mom is one of the few people that actually likes me over Seth. She has never verbally said it but by the way she treats him and the way she treats me anyone can tell.

 

      “Is it okay if Ashley stays for dinner?”

 

She nods and tells me that we are having roast beef. I give her a kiss on the cheek and rush back upstairs. I catch Ashley just as she is getting off the phone.

 

      “What did they say?”

 

      “They said that the game just finished and they are heading over to a pizza parlor in the city to celebrate Leslie being offered a cheerleading scholarship to UF. They said that I have to find my own dinner.”

 

      “My mom said you can stay.”

 

      “Thanks.”

 

She gives me a little smile and tells me that she is going to go the bathroom. I nod. I know that she is going to cry in there. Ashley has a worse life than me because at least my mom gets me. I hear the screams of victory as Seth and my dad get home. I lock my door. I hear the knob jiggle and realize that Ashley is still out. She walks in with her ears

covered.

 

      “Is it always like that when they get home?”

 

I nod and roll my eyes.

 

      “SON, GET DOWN HERE!”

My father’s screams can be heard all the way to Mexico but I don’t think he cares. I tell Ashley that she doesn’t have to come down if she doesn’t want to but she reassures me that she is fine. We lethargically walk down the stairs and see Seth and my dad talking to my mom. My dad has his arm draped around Seth’s shoulders and I roll my eyes. They notice us, unfortunately, and turn to greet us.

 

      “Boy, say congratulations to your brother here. He has gotten offered five football scholarships to UF, UCF, LSU, Yale, and UM.”

 

I shrug, unimpressed. My dad wasn’t this happy when I got offered a full ride to NSU, Yale, Harvard, UF, FSU, FAU, UM, and Princeton on academics. My father let go of Seth and walked up to my face.

 

      “I said to say congratulations.”

 

I looked at Seth.

 

      “Congrats on getting those scholarships for throwing a ball around.”

 

Exasperated, my father told Seth, Ashley (who he didn’t even see), and I to go get ready for dinner. Ashley and I headed up to my room and just as I was about to close the door, Seth came barging in. He closed the door behind him and locked it.

 

      “Seth get out of here.”

 

He walked up to Ashley and told her to get out.

 

      “You can’t tell her what to do. This is my room and she is my friend.”

 

Ashley pushed Seth aside and looked at me.

      “It’s fine. I am going to go take a shower. I smell.”

 

She grabbed my Spiderman towel and left, leaving me alone with the spawn of Satan. I crossed my arms and scowled at him and he laughed.

 

      “Dude, you are so not intimidating.”

 

      “Why are you in here?”

 

He sat on my bed.     

 

      “You are my brother, you know.”

 

I rolled my eyes.

 

 

      “What does that have to do with anything? We hate each other. You can’t just come in here and kick out my friends.”

 

      “How do you know about me and Ms. C?”

 

I knew this was coming because of that stupid comment I made earlier. I shrugged.

 

      “I have my ways.”

 

He got up and approached me.

 

      “You will not tell Leslie, got it?”

 

I shrugged.

 

      “What’s in it for me?”

He punched me in the arm.

 

 

      “Me not murdering you.”

 

I pushed him back, which I am pretty sure did more damage to my wrist than it did to him.

 

      “You won’t do that. Not right before finals, which if you don’t take you wont be going to play college football. Coach Tyrone can only get you out of so much.”

 

I smiled because I had gotten him right where I wanted him.

 

      “What do you want, loser?”

 

      “I have to clean out the attic tomorrow and you are going to help me.”

 

I smirked. I knew that he had practice every Saturday but I didn’t care. My dad was making me clean out the attic because of me failing weight training.

 

      “No way! I have practice and I have to meet up with Leslie and Ms. C. You made me miss out on Leslie once already. Nope.”

 

      “Then I guess I can tell Ashley to show the video I took of you and Ms. C to Leslie.”

 

I didn’t really take a video of them but he didn’t have to know that. He was infuriated and I could tell. He threw up his hands in defeat.

 

      “Fine!”

 

He started to walk out.

 

      “Oh, and take a shower. You smell like shit.”

 

He turned around and smiled at me.

 

      “Maybe I will join Ashley.”

 

Seth

 

I hadn’t meant what I said when I walked out of Luke’s room but once I saw Ashley coming out of the shower with her towel on, I lost it. She had taken off her headgear and glasses so she looked somewhat hot. I was going to have to miss both of my women tomorrow so I might as well have a little fun. I took off my shirt and headed over to her, blocking her path. She looked up at me. I grabbed a lock of her hair and pushed it behind her ear; chicks seem to love that. I heard her breath hitch and I knew my charm was working as always. I pulled her back into the bathroom and locked the door. She tried leaving but I blocked her path.

 

      “Move Seth. I have to go get changed.”

 

I shook my head and bent down to kiss her neck. I heard her give out a soft moan and knew that it was only a matter of time before she gave herself to me.

 

      “Seth stop.”

 

I grabbed her body and pressed it against mine and she didn’t fight it. She smelled so good. I started to unwrap her towel but she stopped me.

 

      “You go out with my sister.”

 

I leaned in close and whispered in her ear.

 

      “Maybe I don’t want her anymore. Maybe I want you.”

 

She pushed me away, unlocked the door, and ran to Luke’s room. No girl had ever done that to me and I was not about to chase after a nerd who my brother secretly loved. I was just about to close the door when Luke marched right up to me.

 

      “Why do you have to be such a dick?”

 

I shrugged.

 

      “I was only having a little fun with her. She looked muy caliente in that towel.”

 

I licked my lips for good measure. He balled his hands into fists and I prayed that he punch me.

 

      “You are such a jerk. You know that she used to have feelings for you.”

 

I knew that. Since second grade she had made I very obvious but I thought she was over that. I looked shocked.

 

      “She used to like me? Well, then send her over here so I can show her how much I like her.”

 

He punched me square in the jaw and I stumbled back. I looked up at him and he was looking at his fist. He ran away and I chased him all through the house. My dad finally caught up to us and grabbed us both by the ear. He sat us down and looked back and forth between us. I massaged my jaw.

      “What did I tell you about hurting your brother, Seth?”

 

I pointed at him.

 

      “He punched me!”

 

My dad actually started laughing and so did my mom. Luke and I looked at each other.

 

      “Oh, Seth, only you could make jokes at a time like this.”

 

I stood up.

 

      “I AM SERIOUS! HE PUNCHED ME THEN RAN!”

 

They stopped laughing and for the first time actually noticed the bruise on my jaw.

 

      “You are serious.”

 

I nodded and they looked at Luke, scrawny little Luke.

 

      “Then, you both are punished.”

 

      “What?! I didn’t do anything to him!”

 

My father held up his hand.

 

      “You are a football prodigy and you let a first class loser beat you up. I am very disappointed.”

 

He sent Luke and I upstairs to our rooms with no dinner, although mom brought Luke and Ashley dinner in Luke’s room. I slammed my door and locked it. I had to try and get some sleep because tomorrow I had to spend the whole day with my loser brother. I actually dreamed that night about the game. In my dream, the girl quarterback from the opposing team took off all her clothes. She approached and the rest is self-explanatory. I woke up and put my sheets in the wash. It was 7 a.m. but Luke said that we didn’t have to start the attic until 10 so I decided to pay a visit to Leslie. Just as I was about to get ready to go, I saw Ashley climbing out of Luke’s window. She climbed down the fire escape and put on her shoes. I came up behind her.

 

      “BOO!”

 

She jumped and turned around to face me. She was wearing one of Luke’s baggy shirts and had her blonde hair down. I never noticed that she had blue eyes before and had perfect full lips just like her sister. She had her head gear off and her glasses, just like the night before. She put a finger to her red lips and started walking away. I was not sure if it was the fact that I was horny or the fact that she wasn’t wearing her normal baggy pants but her ass looked amazing. I caught up with her.    

 

      “So, you and Luke?”

 

She rolled her eyes and kept walking.

 

      “I mean, I don’t know why you would want him over me but

whatever.”

 

She didn’t answer but just kept walking faster. I stopped walking.

 

      “YOU KNOW THE LEAST YOU COULD DO IS TALK TO ME!”

 

She stopped and turned around. I smiled and came up to her. All I wanted to do was rub my hand up and down her toned tan legs that the t-shirt didn’t cover.

 

      “Luke isn’t a jerk like you and he actually is pretty hot.”

 

She looked at me and I motioned to myself.

 

      “Hotter than this?”

 

She rolled her eyes and laughed.

 

      “Yeah his personality makes him attractive. He is so gentle and sweet and comforting.”

 

I rolled my eyes. We were a couple of blocks away from her house. I grabbed her and stopped her from walking. I pulled her close because I needed her to be with me, I needed her. I rubbed her leg and she wrapped it around me. She was giving herself to me and I couldn’t have been more happy. I kissed her neck and her breast. As if just realizing what we were doing, she pulled away. I looked at her. She was so beautiful and I had never realized it before. She pulled her hand away but I caught it again.

     

“Seth, please stop. Can you ever be with a girl and not think about sex?”

 

“Not when that girl looks like you do right now.”

 

She rolled her eyes.

 

      “I love Luke, not you.”

 

Confused, I looked at her. Did she really just say what I thought she said?

 

      “Luke? Since when?”

 

She shrugged.

 

      “I guess it was always there but last night we made it official. He treats me good and likes me for who I am and vice versa. He comforted me after you bothered me yesterday. One thing led to another and well, I love him. You have my sister and every other girl you want but Luke has me.”

 

I dropped her hand and continued walking. We walked the rest of the way in silence. She snuck in through her window and I snuck into Leslie’s. Leslie was naked under her covers which made my job much easier. I took off everything but my boxers and climbed into bed with her. She turned around and saw me. She smiled and I forgot about Ashley. I kissed her breasts and she slipped off my boxers. She always wanted to be on top but today was my turn. I got on top of her and she moaned. I came down to her ear.

 

      “I missed you, babe.”

 

She moaned and we continued on. It felt so good to be with Leslie again but Ashley kept popping into my head. Once we were done, it was about 9 and I told her that I had to go. She gave me a goodbye kiss and sent me on my way. I never told Leslie that I loved her or any woman for that matter. Love is just a four letter word for whipped. I got home at 9:30 and Luke was downstairs watching his gay Spiderman show. Our parents had a gala to be at all day, so they wouldn’t be home until much later. I slapped Luke in the head and he cursed me under his breath.

 

      “You can’t even go one day without having sex. So was it Leslie or Ms. C?”

 

I shrugged.

 

      “I can go without and I was going to but Ashley is so persistent.”

 

He froze and I knew that had him.

 

      “Whhhhaaatt doooo yooouu mmmeeaaaannn?”

 

I chuckled. He always stuttered when he got nervous.

 

      “Well we went at it all night.”

 

He stood up and turned toward me.

 

      “Liar!”

 

      “How would you know?”

 

      “There was no noise coming from you room last night.”

 

      “She is quiet.”

 

      “She hates you.”

 

      “That’s not what she said last night.”

 

      “Well because uhm…”

 

      “Because you slept with her last night?”

 

His face got red and he started to fidget. I laughed.

 

      “I saw her sneaking out this morning.”

 

He practically fell on the floor and put his head in his hands. He spoke through his fingers.

 

      “I don’t know what it is about her that makes me so crazy. I think I might love her. I think I always have.”

 

I scoffed.

 

      “Love isn’t real, bro.”

 

He shook his head and for a split second I felt bad for him but then the feeling went away. I punched his arm.

 

      “Don’t we have an attic to do?”

 

He nodded and got up. We walked to the attic and pulled down the stairs.

 

      “Ladies first.”

 

He rolled his eyes and went up the stairs. I followed behind him.
