Preston Pov.


"Preston Arsement! Get up now and pay attention!" My head jolted up to the sudden screaming of Mr. Syan. The class started to laugh as a sunk down in my chair.


Why does school have to be a thing? Everyone hates me, so why can't I just stay home? That's right. My 'dad' also hates me. Yup. That's the reason. I have three choices in this thing that I call life.


I could either stay home play video games, talk to Lachlan, get beat up by my father any time he gets a chance, or come to school and sit through lectures, get yelled at 24/7, not sleeping, get hurt everyday cause of school bullies, or I can give it all up now, live only 18 years of my life, stop breathing, stop blinking, stop living, but nope.


I can't bring myself to do so. I don't have the willpower to do it. It's easier said than done.


The bell rang and everyone got up to leave. I was walking to the door until Mr. Syan stopped me. "Preston? What is going on with you? You never pay attention in class, always sleeping. What's wrong?" Everything. Everyone. The world. My life. "Nothing. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get to class." I pushed past him and left before he said anything else.


The halls were empty. Quiet. Damn I was late. I didn't really care though. I walked to my locker slowly, just to waste time. I put my combination in and opened my locker, just to have it slammed shut again.


"Hey fag. We didn't see you this morning. Tried to miss an early beating?" Mitch spoke with venom laced through his words. I didn't answer. I looked down. "Oh. You didn't get to meet someone. This is Rob." He pushed me back into my locker, but I still never looked up, I still never said a word.


"Look up you fucking cunt." A deeper voice hissed, not too deep, but definitely intimidating, but soothing. I finally gave in and looked up, I met with angry brown eyes. He's mad at me, but I never said a thing or legitimately met him, so why?


"Hi. I'm Prest-Preston." I stuttered cowering back. "Yeah. I don't honestly give a fuck. Stay out of our way faggot." He slammed into the lockers hard and walked away.


I knew I couldn't avoid them all day. Damn. What happened to the old days? Where Mitch and I were the best of friends, and my parents were nice to me. Nope.


I had to be the fuck up I am and tell someone I had a crush on Mitch. Jerome was a great friend until he told Mitch about my crush on him. We never knew he was a homophobic and he betrayed me.

It was the day if the school Pep Rally. Mitch and Jerome were sitting together and I was sitting else where. Little did I know, that was the day my 'best friend' ruined my life.


Mitch got up and stood at the podium and here I am thinking he was saying something about the baseball team, but damn was I wrong. I'll always remember what he said. "My ex best friend is a faggot. He has a crush on me. And I don't swing that way, I don't even associate with people who like the same gender. So I suggest you back off fag." His words hurt me, so bad. The whole auditorium started to laugh. Teachers were pulling Mitch of the stage. And being the person I am, not wanting to start trouble, I got up and ran. Tears streaming down my face, I ran home.


Never thought I'd be so lonely. I didn't go to school for a week, my Dad found out and started beating me, but there was only one good thing that happened. I met Lachlan. We Skype every day and play video games. He lives in Australia so we never got to meet each-other in person. But the best thing about it, we are both homosexual and we have been through the same thing.


My thoughts were interrupted by the bell ringing. Did I really sit here for and hour, just thinking and shit. I'll just leave. I don't want to go back home, but I don't want to stay here.


I got up and walked to the exit. Just like that, I slipped trough the doors as quietly as possible, and I was on my way. Somewhere. Someplace. Anything is better than here.
