WHEN I'M WITH YOU

WHEN I'M WITH YOU PART 1

Let me tell you a little bit about myself. My names Kai, and I'm eighteen years old. I'm your average , and although I hate school, I try hard to get good grades. I'm well liked at school, I go round with a large of people, but I only have a few close friends, this is because I hate fakes who suck up to me to raise their popularity status. I play football for the school team, but I'm not captain, and I don't want to be as I've never been good with organizing and stuff. Lots of girls come to cheer me on as I have a kick about and score my fair share of goals. And although I sometimes like the attention, I find girls try to hard to get with me. I've shagged a few girls, but not loads like most boys my age claim they have. Today it was the first day back from the summer holidays, which means school starts at a later time of 11am, all we do on this day is hang about in form getting new lesson timetables and once again being told "what is expected of us this year". New kids not only join the first year, but at least twenty kids add on to each year, I don't know why people my age would leave their school to come to this shit hole but they do, new kids don't really interest me, I'm already friends with the people I want to know.

"Football this year is going to be great! I've bene practicing my skills all holiday, plus the team has gotten closer, were really going to thrash everyone this season!" Dan said excitedly as we walked over to our gang which were sitting on the tables outside a café, across the road from our school. "Man, I'm really not motivated enough to go back to school yet" TJ moaned, leaning back in his chair and placing his huge muscled arms behind his head. Everyone started talking about how school was shit and that the holidays didn't seem long enough, my mind however was on something different. There was this walking on the opposite side of the road heading towards our school. He was clearly smaller than me, about 5'6. Quite skinny, but not 'You need to seek professional help otherwise your going to waste away' skinny. He had fashioned our school his own way. His school trousers skinny and fitted, hugging his bum (the only thing full and rounded on his body) and the bulge at the front, making them quite noticeable through the material. He wore black high-top converse shoes, and our school jumper round his shoulders. His white shirt unbuttoned all the way down to where his six pac would of started, if he had one, I wasn't sure, I wasn't close enough.

He had just walked through the front gate, and as if he sense me looking at him he turned round and stared across the road. "Why is that boy looking at us?" my friend Rose said. "He must be new" Megan said. "He must be gay, look at him!" Tyler blurted out, causing some of the guys in our group to laugh. The boy couldn't hear us, but after his long stare he turned round and walked up to the entrance, he looked and walked as if he was as light as a feather. "Wonder what he was staring at" Dan said. "We were making a lot of noise, probably just wanted us to see what was going on" explained TJ. "Yeah..." I replied, watching him walk away. I checked the time on my phone, 10:55, I announced it to everyone and we headed into school.

I was sitting in the back row in my form room with the guys, scribbling on a piece of paper, chatting, comparing what lessons we had with what teachers, when there was a knock at the door. "Come in" Mrs. Davies called to the person outside. The door opened and the boy I had seen earlier walked in. "Erm hi? I'm in this form apparently" he said to Mrs. Davies. "And who are you?" she said. "I'm Eddie Stroud" he said. "Right Eddie, take a seat" Mrs. Davies said. Eddie walked over to this shy girl named Hollie, she was a short girl, with long blond hair which she wore in a ponytail, I don't think I've ever heard her speak. "Can I sit here?" Eddie said to her. She smiled and nodded, I don't think I've ever seen her sitting with anyone either, he took his bag off his shoulder and sat down next to her in the row in front of me. He started chatting to her quietly and to my surprise she was talking back, I couldn't hear what they were saying though. About fifteen minutes later Eddie could obviously sense me looking at him again because he turned around and looked straight into my brown eyes with his huge golden ones, his eyebrows raised and I felt my cheeks flushing, he gave a satisfied half smile and turned back around just in time to see Barry Goodman walk up to his table and stand in front of Hollie. Barry was a , with a shaved, almost bald head and a huge fat tummy. He seemed to gain happiness by making other peoples lives miserable, yes he was a bully, and although he had never said anything to me and my gang as we were top of the school, I still felt bad for anyone who had to deal with his shit, especially an innocent girl like Hollie who was tormented by him almost every week.
