Every shining star has a dark side, we all have our ups and downs, so don't forget that you ARE worth every bad day, every mistake and every breath I take. ~Max
Looking up at the clear blue sky threw the apartment window I listen to the birds heralding the dawn and the day that was approaching. Closing the curtains I turn to the mirror to see what I looked like after way too many drinks and the worst and first heartbreak ever...
"Damn, Leo you look like you have crawled in a ditch and died..."
I say that because for some reason I have leaves and sticks in my disheveled grey hair, my jeans are torn and covered in dirt and mud, my white shirt is no longer white, its now covered in as much muck as you could get from who knows what. Grass stains, mud stains and stains from whatever I fell in. The bags under my eyes are GoRgEoUs I mean how dark can they get? if I was into black and white like those goths just down the street then I would be loving it. Honestly I look and feel like I'm dead or dying.
"come on Leo you got this, just get breakfast and you can go to school. Just who knows how many hours of teachers asking if im OK and kids staring at me thinking I'm crazy or something."
Going to the cupboard and looking at what I have left over from my allowance.
"Looks like I need to go shopping some time this week... I wonder when I'm going to get payed..."
The cupboard was empty so i grave a glass and have a drink of water then grave a energy drink from the fridge and get ready for school and hope that my MP3-player has enough charge. I don't think i could survive one day at school without SOMETHING to drown out everyone's endless prattle.
"I hope they sent my allowance for the next couple of weeks otherwise I will starve to death"
After getting ready for school and making sure that I didn't look like death itself I make my way to school. turning on my MP3-player and putting my earbuds in I was feeling alright when the guy's from the party showed up...
Keep your head up and wear that smile like a ray of hope and I will be there to comfort you when you need me to ~Max
The guys from the party showed up. The typical 'I am sexy and I know it' kind of guys. They are Tristan, Captain of the soccer team blond and has a killer 6-pack paired with his gorgeously tanned skin. Kyler, the tallest guy in our school he's close to being 8 foot. He is also on the soccer team and he has some lovely black hair with the perfect complexion to match. Then there's Nathen, one of the smartest kids and the most sought after guy in our school, I mean just look at him! his hair goes down to his ankles and it's the same color as a raven, his eyes are the most startling shade of blue that you would swear he is wearing contacts (spoiler alert he's not) he is 6 foot 7, parents own the biggest company in Bermiansha that he has money AND good looks.
They turn to each other and then talk to each other. Judging by those smirks i know they are going to be loud and obnoxious
"Nathen, remember that party I hosted at my place yesterday"
"Yes Kyler what about it?"
"Well Nathen remember Leo was their right now what did he do again..."
"Didn't he tell Lillian Lepenski that he was in love with her or something like that?"
"YES! THAT WAS IT! thank you Tristan! and I mean Leo and Lillian? SERIOUSLY WHO WOULD DATE THAT LOSER!"
They all start laughing and I ignore them. I mean what can I do? I am just a nobody who asked the most popular girl in school to go out with me. Now that is what some would call comedy gold and honestly I thought that this might be like one of those anime series i've been watching were the beautiful popular girl falls for the unpopular kid who is always alone. Well, I got my hopes up and now I am stuck. Its kind of like creators block I have gone from all colors to just one color. Blue.
I am not upset about it.
I'm not mad.
confused.
It just feels like it's supposed to be this way.
Just like it's supposed to hurt when you get hit in the face...
Yes I got hit in the face. The most popular guy in school, the best looking guy at school punched me, a nobody. IN. THE. FACE. In Front of EVERYONE.
this day can't get any worse
it will get better
not everything is bad
That's probably what you are thinking right?
Well. Knowing the people I go to school with. This isn't even the worst thing that happens. Lunch time is the worst especially when I have nothing to eat... like today.
Threw darkness and rain I will come to be your guiding light ~Max
So now that I ignored their comments they actually punched me in the face. Nobody cares that they punched me because...
"Good one boys! he deserves it! asking out our lovely angel!"
"beat him up!"
"Kill him!"
"Make him wish he was never born!"
... Nobody likes me. Not any more that is, and I already wish I was never born but they can't kill me because that would get the police involved... and getting the police involved would get this school shut down and all its secrets revealed.
"Do what you want to me. I don't care. I hope you all live long and fruitful lives"
After saying that Kyle spat on me and everyone started to leave. It's easy to get them to stop. The issue is they do it so often I forget to stop them.
"ouch"
Feels like they may of broken my hand. Why did they jump on my hand anyway? never mind. I have class to get to. . . hopefully my spot is empty today.
Going threw the hallways of the school is entertaining in a way, I'll use my laptop to map out the school for new kids since this place is like a labyrinth. . . My class is 5-S a class full of the smartest kids in the school. we are supposed to have 5 kids but for some reason we only have 3 kids in the class. I guess the others dropped out or something. In 5-S our scores are not shared with the others we are to be as competitive as possible always thinking that someone else is better then us but I know i'm at the top.
I am the only one who asks for extra credit work and I fly threw the tests with perfect scores, I know the others are struggling just by their facial expressions during the tests. I don't care though, the better my grades the better my chances at getting into the Elite Academy of Bermianshan Creatives.
This school lets everyone in. This school enjoys making everyone compete, so this school needs to have someone at the very bottom of the chain. Someone to be beaten by those further up the chain and make others feel better.
And that would be me.
My School SUCKS! |
