What a Drag

Who I Am

Joe POV

I woke up with the sunlight in my eyes making me wince. i must have forgotten to shut the curtins last night. I smile as remebered what happened last night. A grin took over my face. I looked over to my bedside table to see the huge stack of green dollar bills all of them a hundred and there was a least a hundered of them. I sat up qick when i heard my mum foot steps on the staires and i knew she wold come and make sure i was up for school. I grabbed my money and stashed it under my pillow just as my door opened.

"Joe why are not getting dressed already its nearly seven you have half an hour before school starts. Get a move on."

And just as quick as she arrived my mum left heading back down staires. I let out a breath of relife and went to get showered. Once i was dressed in my school uniform making sure my hair was neat and tidy and my glasses were straight. I put my tie on so it was the right length for chool rules. I lace my shoes into a neat bow and with one last look and i was perfect. I looked plain brown hair, brown eyes framed with thick black glasses. I was just plain.

When i got down staires i looked at my watch and my eyes went wide. I was running last. I ran to the kitchen and grabbed an apple but not before giving my mum a kiss on the cheek on the way out. I rac down the side walk people saying hello and good morning to me as i went. I'm well known in my little town. I was known as Joe he good, smart and level headed boy. I was known as the golden boy. I have never done anything to anyone and I was known for helping people. Of course people at school did not really like this and tended to ignor me or bully me. I didnt care though people an think what they wish about me as long as i get what i want I am fine.

I came through the gates just as the bell reang and gave out a sigh of relife. I walked up the steps and thats where I as jumped on by my best friend Willow. She wrapped her skin arms around my neck her white blond hair going everywhere. I laughed at her antics before letting her slide to the ground. She turned her sharp blue eyes to me and looked me up and down before pulling me into a hug.

"Why the fuck did you not ring me last night? I was worried sick. I thought you had got hurt or, or..."

She tailed off smiling at me sadly tears glishing in her eyes making the dark blue look paler and hazey. I pulled close to me again and said in to her hair.

"I'm sorry. We finshed late and i was so tried i forgot but i wont do it again. I promise. You need to stop worrying though. Nothing bad will happen to me."

She pulled away and gave me a watery smile in return. I took her hand and pulled her through the halls until we reached our maths class. I groan before opening the door and turned my face in to a emotionless mask. Of course every one in the class turned to look at me and Willow as we were late. Mr Hay smiled at the two of us and told us to take our seat but not to be late again. I could feel everyones hate toward me as Mr Hay let me off and if it was anyone else it would have been a detention no questions asked. I sat in my seat at the back and took out my note book.

About half an hour in to the class the door flew open an a angel walked in. Ok not literally an angel but he might as well have been. He looked smoking hot. He looked aroud a smile plastered on his face. All the girls in the class sat up and pulled their shirts down before pushing thier chests out. His eyes landed on me and his smile got wider and he wink. On the outside I blushed but on the inside was smirking. I had a feeling the rest of the year was going to be very intresting.

By the end of that class I knew the new kids name was Damon, he moved from New York and he is very gay. He was sat next to me. For the rest of the lesson I listen to the teacher but kept an eye on him out the corner of my eye. He had spent the whole leson checking me out. By diner Damon was the talk of the school. Girls say how hot he is. Boys saying how good at football he is. Me i was sat at my normal table with Willow eating what I always eat. Just then the hall went silent and a shadow fell across our table. I looked up and licked my lips there stood Damon.

"Mind if i sit with you guys?"

His voice was as smooth as melted chocolate and I really wouldnt mind eating chocolate off of him. I nodded keeping up my shy mask. He place his tray next to mine and gracefully sat down. He was like a black panther ready to pounce and i hope he ponced on to me. Willow seemed to have froze but soon snapped out of it and gave him her megawatt smile and said.

"Hi my names Willow and this here is my best friend Joe. Please dont pay attention to Joe's silents its nothing persoal he's just shy and does it to everyone."

She spoke a mile a second and after she had finished Damon just blinked a few times before laughing.

"Nice to meet you Willow I think we will get along just fine. As for Joe I already met him in maths. I also doutb he is shy I think he is full of confidences but doesn't show it so people don't figger him out. Am I right Joe.?"

I jut looked up at him shocked. How did he work out so much about me from just a half hour sat with me and those few seconds now. But he was right. That was exactly who i was. Who I am.
