Paper Rose

Chapter 1 - Loneliness & (Ex) Lovers

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggg! 

The enthusiastic school bell rang anouncing it was lunch. The bell was rather more irritating than ever to me, you know why? I was niether paying attention to my teacher or had anyone to talk to, so my ears focused more till the bell rang and  i was free to roam in my emptiness.

But lunch was not fun.

It was like a run in a swimming pool. Slow and tedious. Useless. Well apart from the lessons, and even those were too slow for me to mentally pay attention to. Usually i either finished my work in less than 30 minutes, or the teacher didn't notice me. The latter was more relaxing.

As i walked down, i watched as people either didn't notice me or gave me looks of anger like i had done something to them.

When really, all i was doing was walking around.

As i got to my lockers, i put my science textbook in and took out my spanish folder for last period. But my little detour would not end as quick as i thought it would, i turned to face Chad Downton. He looked at me and automatically laughed at my face.

I was not even in his way.

But still he pushed my back, thus making my body hit onto the metal locker wall. My spanish and the contents fell to the ground. His buddies continued to laugh and walked off into through the corridor, spreading more and torment.

I never had any friends, so i felt no shame or embarrasment. This was how my life was. This was how my life would stay.

After reaching my Spanish class early, i waited for the teacher to arrive so we could all enter the class room.

So i took out the injection.

And in less than 5 minutes i just felt numb with drugs i had injected.

I almost even felt a tiny smile spark on my face. But i hadn't injected that much cocaine.

As the teacher arrived, and so did the majority of the class, i went to my seat and sat. Another class i would gladly sleep in. Hopefully the teacher would not notice me, when they did...oh God. Unecessary hassle. I could ace these classes in my sleep, i didn't need to reassure myself.

 I heard the bell ring again.

The lesson had started.

The teacher for about 20 minutes went on about a topic i had covered myself a month ago. I mean if this was not a good enough reason to go to sleep, i don't know what was.

Then the teacher's eyes flashed over my sleep.

"You" he said, how nice: he doesn't even remember my name.

"What have we been learning about this week?" he asked me like i was a 5 year old. He was trying to embarras me.

Too bad i knew just about everything about the topic.

I sat straight and was just about to give him a perfect answer when two girls suddenly bursted into the classroom.

One smiled so loudly i thought she would explode in a mess of happy air. 

The other, however looked...intriguing.

"But John, you may think i'm pretty and delicate and fragile" i told the tall dude that was flirting with me at the cafe, "but do you know that i like rough! You can hit me, you know! If you want to!" i shouted at him loudly and with a creepy rasp in my voice.
