Chapter 3: Somebody to You

=Mitch's POV=

I silently walked the halls of Rodgers High, before another painful day of education, earbuds playing a slow beat in my ears. "Hey, fag!" I winced, and slowly turned around to face the four people I expected. Dominic, the school bully and his followers, Alex, Nick, and Jamie stood behind him. "Good morning, Dom!" I fake smiled back at him. "Not in the mood." He grinned at me. "Nor am I, today Dom. Can I skip today and do double tomorrow?" I asked. It was a daily thing, getting punched in the face and kicked in the ribs. I know people saw. I know they didn't care. "Nice try, Mitch." Dominic started towards me. I put my hands in my pockets and accepted my fate. He walked straight up to me and punched me in the nose, which I expected. The force still made me stumble backwards. Someone caught me though. But instead of defending me -not that I expected that- they pushed me back into Dominic's fist. Then Jamie gave me a solid punch, and I was on the ground against the lockers. Then Alex and Nick were kicking me in the shoulders and ribs. Suddenly the first bell rang through our ears, and they all took a few steps back, and started walking towards their home room. "Same time tomorrow?" I asked, only trying to lighten my own mood.

I stayed against the lockers, not even caring that I'd be late. "Are you okay?" There was a a person in front of me, and their outstretched hand was in front of my face. "Huh?" I asked, looking up. No one ever helps me. No one ever cared. "I asked if you were okay. You don't look it." I glanced up, and my heart nearly stopped. It was Jerome. "I-I'm fine." How cliche, of course it would be Jerome. Not that I was complaining. "Are you sure?" He asked. "No." I muttered, but then took his outstretched hand. He pulled me up and smiled at me. "Mitch, yeah?" He asked, and my heart jumped again. He knew my name. I sighed at myself after that thought. I was such a teenage girl. "Yeah, that's me." I replied as casually as I could, trying not to show the panic that was screaming in my mind. "You sure you're okay, Mitch?" He said. "I'm okay, thank you." I smiled. "Good. See you around?" He asked. "Y-Yeah, of course." I answered. "Cool. Bye Mitch." He waved a small wave and took off towards his home room, and then the second bell rang.

I used to wanna be, living like there's only me, but now I spend my time thinking of a way to get you off my mind. I used to be so tough, never really gave enough, until you caught me eye, givin me the feeling of a lightning strike.

All I wanna be, all I ever wanna be, yeah, is somebody to you. Everybody's tryna be a billionaire, but every time I look at you I just don't care, cause all I wanna be, all I ever wanna be is somebody to you.

Look at me now, I'm falling, can't even talk, still stuttering. All I wanna be, all I ever wanna be, yeah, is somebody to you.
