The Secrets Secret (sequel to The Secret)

Chapter 4

Alex's POV

Welp..school..I dread today. I really don't want to go..it's making me sadddd I don't want to see Mr.Parker. He's an asshole. Not to mention that he's my homeroom teacher so I have to see him three times a day..talk about stupid.

I get up and put on one of my binders. It takes me a minute to get used to but when I do I put on a plain T-shirt, jeans like yesterday, black vans and a hoodie that says "straight outta los Santos." GTA is my life..sue me.

I go to the kitchen and see both my dads. Dad gives me a bowl of cereal and I eat it slowly kind of nervous about today now.

"It will be okay buddy. We are one phone call away. And this is temporary. We are moving at the end of the month." Daddy syk tells me. That's two whole weeks..TWO.

"O-okay.." I mumble. I dump my soggy cereal in the sink down the drain and they both hug me.

"It's ridiculous that you have to go through this to be yourself.." syk tells me. I nod a bit and break from the hug.

"I'll see you soon.." I leave the apartment with my backpack and get my bike from the bike stand outside of the apartment complex.

The ride to school is a lot shorter than I had hoped. When I get there I lock my bike on the stand and go inside. I slowly head to homeroom with Mr.Parker... I hate this.

When I get to the room he glares at me so I just take my seat. Get me out of this hell hole. Luckily homeroom is only ten minutes so I leave and go to my first class, English. That goes by pretty well then I go to science. Then history...just what I want to do.

When I get to the class I can feel him burning holes into my skull. He treats the rest of the class with respect and skips my name on the attendance sheet. I'll be seen as if I skipped class again now. Great.

Mr.Parker walks around giving everyone else a notes guide. "Fill this out as I go over the PowerPoint and anything on here will be on the test later this week. And it will count as 15% of your grade."

"Excuse me I didn't get one." I say.

"Be quiet Alexis. Did I say you could talk??"

"It's Alex and you didn't give me a paper." He comes over to me looking mad and pulls me up from the desk by my wrist.

I feel it sting and see blood creep down towards my palm. Great he opened my deepest one. It was just starting to heal too..

"Sit there you good for nothing bitch." He whisper shouts at me. I sit at the table outside the classroom and he slams the door. I'm sure he won't notice if I go to the bathroom to clean this up..right?

I run to the women's restroom unfortunately and clean up the open cut before placing a new bandage and cover that with bracelets from my bag. When I walk out I run into my math teacher. Mr. Williams, one of the best teachers. It's his first year teaching, just out of college so about 22, 23 years old.

He has brown hair with natural chestnut highlights and bright green eyes. He's tall..very tall. Like 6'2 I believe. It towers over my 5'3 height.

"Oh hey Alex. How are you doing?"

"I'm fine.." I say looking down at my shoes. The truth is I'm doing awful but I can't tell him that.

"You don't sound to positive. Want to come back to my room and we can talk?" He knows everything that's going on with Mr.Parker. I just nod and follow him. When we get there I take my seat. He sends a quick email to Mr.Parker and then sits with me.

"So how are things at home?"

"Good. My dads are good. They are helping get out of here. We are moving in 2 weeks to get me away from Mr.Parker and his transphobia."

"Aww I'm going to miss having you around. still email me if you need anything buddy. You're a very strong individual and I can see you going great places." I smile at his words. "So do you know where you are moving?"

I take my laptop out of my bag and look up the town. "I wish it was Los Santos but not all things in life can be as good as the ones in video games.." my bag falls over and mr.rabbit falls out. He's even more run down than when I was little.

My face turns a shade of pink when Mr. Williams picks it up. "And who is this?" He asks.

"That's Mr.Rabbit..we've been through a lot together but that's a long story.."

"I've got time if you want to tell me."

"It started with my dad getting him for me on my third birthday.." I go on to telling him about him leaving, my mom blaming me, her new boyfriend, her neglecting me, leaving me at the grocery store, corpse finding me and adopting me, him meeting Syk, and the rest of my life story. And let me just say..it was nice to finally open up about everything.
