Destiny

I'm Taekwoon,but known to my friends,I'm Leo. This year,I'm turning 15,my father is an abusive maniac who's been in jail in and out. Each time he comes home,he hits me,sexually assaults me,and goes back to jail. To me,my life is a wreck.

I stepped into a new school at the start of the new year. This was already the 5th time I've changed my school in my high school life. I looked around the place and noticed something was off. Not something,everything. The place was like a dumpster. There were rats and spiders everywhere. The lockers were vandalized and the Wallace the hallway too. It looked like nobody ruled the school and nobody cared. I walked forward to find my class 3A. I went on and on,and finally reached a class which had a totally different look. It looked special. Like an upper class classroom. I looked at the class name. '3B'. 3A must have been around here. I turned around to see class '3A' and the smelly and moldy smell bellowed into the air. I took a few steps forward and walked in,to see a overly abused classroom with vandalism written on the tables and chairs. Those who were inside the classroom averted their attention to me. They smiled and waved. A younger looking one motioned for me to sit next to him. "Hi,I'm Hyuk." He said as I put down my bag,sitting down. "Hi,I'm Leo." I said,putting out a hand for him to shake. He shook it,but then my shirt's sleeve slipped back and Hyuk gasped at the bloody wounds on my arm. I quickly pulled my sleeves back down,but Hyuk questioned me strickly. I told him why and he accepted it. He accosted me as a friend,even though he found out I was a dirty person,a misused person,and a useless person.

"Dad I'm home." I grunted as I stepped into the house. I could hear grunts and groans as my 'father' walked down the stairs. "Get up here into my room you piece of shit!" He yelled. He was drunk. Again. Holding back my tears,I walked upstairs,dragging my feet. Into his room again,losing the things around me,fulfilling his desires.

After what my father had done,I was totally sore. He left the house again to go to the club,whereas I sat there,crying to myself. Why does this happen to me? Why am I so unlucky. Why was I born?!? I took out my book and threw it across the room. The book that my father had gave me before my mother passed on,before he turned into what he was now. A monster.

--The Next Day--

I dragged myself into school,being sloppier than yesterday. I didn't talk to anyone yesterday,except for Hyuk. The teacher didn't call me,she didn't even notice me. "Hey Leo,are you okay? You look really pale." A voice behind me echoed. It was Hyuk. I turned my head slowly as I wiped my tears off. "I'm fine. You don't need to bother about me. I'm useless anyways." I said. After I said that,I was shocked to feel a pair of arms wrap around my waist. "Hyuk what are you doing?" I asked,sighing. "He did something to you yesterday,didn't he?!?" Hyuk almost yelled. He loosened his grip around my waist and I turned around. I nodded my head in shame. He didn't mind. He didn't. In fact he gave me a bigger hug then the previous one. So far,in my life,he was my greatest friend.
