Blondie

Lucas

Holy shit. He looks so fucking hot with his shirt unbuttoned like that. And that ripped body, mmmm. I bet he has all the girls all over him when he looks like that. I look at the time, 3 am, and shut my laptop. Guess I should get some sleep before my first day of school tomorrow. I set my laptop off to the side and moved to curl up in the warm sheets of my childhood bedroom. I hope dad doesn't try to come over drunk again, mom has a hard enough time with me here because I look so much like him. I stare at the ceiling till sleep takes over and I have a dreamless night like normal.

"Lucas Martin! You're gonna be late for school! Get your ass up!" Thanks, mom, you woke me up from the best dream. It was complete darkness and I was loving it. I change into my school uniform, go into the bathroom to brush my mess of dirty blond hair, and brush my not-even close-to-perfect teeth. After I finish my morning routine, I head downstairs, kiss my mom's head as she sings along with whatever is on the radio, and prepare breakfast for my kid half-sister and step dad. I snached some toast off a plate, grabbed my skateboard, and darted out as I heard my stepdad coming down to eat. I put my headphones on, hop onto my skateboard, and skate down to school while I eat my toast. I'm so thankful I got to put my stuff in my locker before I started school. I put my skateboard in my locker and head to my first period when this guy pushes me into the lockers. I can feel some blood slowly fall down my forehead as my vision blurs a little. Well great, a fight on my first day. I try to keep walking but they snatch my headphones off and toss them around.

"Hey fag, are you listening now?" I just nod. "This is our hall so you have to pay to walk it, got it fag."

"Yeah, now can I have my headphones back, slut?" They just laugh and throw them on the ground, then saunter off. I quickly pick them up to find them broken, my last gift from my sister is broken. I grab my skateboard and leave school, I can't go home so I head to the apartments they've delayed building near the woods. I can hear someone following me, but I don't care. As I just go to the top and sit at the edge and cry, I hold the broken headphones close and I try to read the worn-out message, "You'll always be the gem in my heart little bro, even when my heart is gone." Even when you're gone, you'll be the only nice person to me. I put the headphones in my bag and looked over the edge. I guess I should just end it all here to see you again big sis, it is the only thing I want right now. "Goodbye cruel world," but before I could slide off the roof, I saw my mom walking by with my kid sister. And they're looking right at me. I get up, grab my stuff, and come down to them, trying to collect myself so I look ok again even when my heart is definitely not ok.
"Young man, what were you doing up there instead of being at school?" I pull out the headphones and show her as I keep the wound hidden. "Oh, you broke your headphones and decided to skip class?"
"Is bruther coming home with us mama?" My mom shakes her head at my little sister.
"Someone wanted to start a fight and broke my headphones from Katelyn. Sorry if my last gift from her got me to start crying at school, so I left to calm down." I get on my skateboard and head back to school before she can respond. I headed straight to my first class after checking in, using the excuse of sleeping late even if I was here, and then left. Right before I can enter the class, I get stopped by the assholes again.

"Hey fag, you gonna run off crying again?" I simply kick their knees in and walk into class, done with their shit only to get yelled at by the teacher.

"Ma'am, I have a tardy slip and I'm the new student. Sorry for being late." I hand her the slip and sit in an empty seat by the window as I look out while staying focused on the class. I take all the notes throughout the class, and whenever she calls on me to answer a question, I answer it with ease. When the class ends, I pack up and slip out and blend in with the crowd, hoping not to get into another fight. I'm even more fucked though because I have a seat right next to the bastard leader of the assholes.
