Two Worlds Meet

skylers pov:
every morning i wake up early to cover my bruises with makeup and practice my fake smile. i'm tired of everything these days. I'm tired of pretending I'm happy. i'm tired of having to cover up my arms, legs, and face with makeup everyday. I'm tired of getting abused by my dad and trash talked by my mom. I only eat to have enough energy for soccer practice. everyday is the same; wake up, get dressed, cover my bruises and cuts, eat a banana on the way to school, school, soccer practice, go home, get abused, daily cutting, shower, homework, and then bed time.
i have to ride my skateboard to school everyday because my parents won't let me drive their cars even though i'm a jr.

but this morning was different, when i woke up it felt as though i was in a dream state. my vision felt a little blurred around the edges and didn't go away... maybe i'm losing my eyesight....

i snapped out of my thoughts as i heard glass breaking down stairs. "guess someone's awake early, oh goody." i thought with sarcasm. usually my parents are hung over and asleep till noon. i don't have time to deal with them, so i just grabbed my skateboard and climbed out the window.
i rode as fast as i could to school wanting to get away from so called "home".
no one really talks to me at school except for my one friend, Ash. Ash is on the soccer team with me, so some people are nice to us but we still don't have any other friends. I finally arrived at school and immediately saw Ash in our meet up spot.

"as the captain of the football team you need to keep your grades up", principal sryder said. " are you kidding me?! how am I supposed to get my grades up when my highest grade is a C?!" i was basically yelling.
"I'm assigning you a tutor"
my mouth fell open "WHAT?!"
" yes, now get back to class Mr. dolan"
without saying anything I stormed out the door, slamming it behind me. I need to punch a wall... Or someone. how could he do this to me? A tutor?! Seriously?! this will ruin my reputation but I have no choice, I am the captain, I can't be kicked off the team. Principal sryder said to come into the office after school to meet my tutor. Just saying the word tutor makes me cringe.

during 3rd period i got called into the office. I never get called into the office. " good afternoon Miss banks, you're probably wondering why I called you in here today." I nodded as the principal continued. " well you see a student has been struggling with all of his classes and I decided it would be best if you, a straight A student, tutored him."
"who is the student in need sir?" i asked confused
"ethan dolan" my eyes widen as i tried to talk
"m-mr. sryder, i-i can't, i have um soccer! i won't have any extra time in my day"
" I'm sure you'll be just fine, it will only be for an hour" I scoffed as I left the office knowing my life just got more complicated.
ethan dolan.
i rolled my eyes as i walked to class.
he was one of ravenswoods f-boys/jocks/ dicks, you decide.

~time skip~

it was now the end of the day and I had to go back into the office to meet Ethan even though I knew all about him. I was sitting in one of the chairs in the principals office when the door burst open, i flinched as ethan barged in.
"please sit mr. dolan" principal sryder spoke
"whatever" Ethan slumped into the chair next to me. I rolled my eyes at his mannerism. " you guys will meet with each other every day after school for at least one hour" my mouth dropped. i knew it would be for an hour but everyday?! that's too much. what if Ethan finds out about my family or my cuts. He can't. He'll tell everyone. I already have a hard time hiding it for 8 hours a day but now I'll have to hide it even longer.
I just mumbled "fine" and with that I was out the door. i started to ride my skateboard down the sidewalk when someone yelled my name. I stopped and turned around to see the one and only Ethan Dolan out of everyone running towards me. " if you're going to be my tutor I'm going to need to be able to contact you so give me your number" he demanded. I put my number in his phone without saying anything and rode away. "we'll start tomorrow!" i yelled as i flipped him off from behind. making myself chuckle a little.
to my luck, my parents were passed out when I got home, so I just went up to my room, took a shower and then did my homework before i went to bed.
