Fighting the Truth

Start with a BANG!

Chapter One: Start with a BANG!

I woke up with a pillow in my face, in annoyance I rose and fiddled with my blonde hair, “El,” I look to my side and see Tom’s cheeky grin, “How did you like your pillow breakfast?”

I groaned in tiredness, “Get lost Tom.” I fall back and at the same time cuddle the new pillow that was ‘gifted’ to me. I close my eyes for a second, until a certain voice entered my mind, I open my eyes and see Taint at the side of my bed, he smirked at me and flicked his head to the side, El, you might want to get up... I nod slowly, No one could see Taint but me. He was like ‘A Guardian Angel’ as they would say.

I get up and Tom grinned at me with his gray-ish blue eyes excited for unknown reasons to myself, “What?” I finally managed to say.

He rose and took his pillow and placed it on his bed, “We have another meeting!” I groaned and fall back on my bed, “El, but you’re the leader!”

Yeah, you’re the leader. I look to my side and Taint circled my bed, “I know... but no one ever shows up!” I get up and take off my white singlet, You need to push harder to get them to show up to the meetings. I slip on my dark side shirt and take off my pyjama pants, and slip on my skinny jeans, then my low cut converse, “Tom, we better get going.” I walk out with my best friend behind me, and Taint by my side.

I comb my blonde hair between my fingers, “Tom, where’s Kira?” Kira was my other best friend, he was a part of the meeting, but he was so punctual with them, he can turn up earlier than me! And I’m the leader!

Tom shrugged and flicked his black hair to the side, “Well, we JUST got out of our dorm room so...” I blush in embarrassment, Haha. I growled at the red-head angel next to me, “...Elliot?” I cock my head to Tom, “What’s with the growling?”

I shrugged, “Nothin’”  I saw Taint laugh from the corner of my eye, “Faggot.” I said to myself. Tom grabbed me by the shirt, “Hey!”

He twirled me into Brodie, my other best friend, I had three close ‘brothers’ to me, Tom, Brodie and Kira, I wave casually at my best friend, “Hey man.”

He smiled and gave me a man hug, “Hey Elliot, what you doing tonight?” I froze on the spot, today I had a meeting... which was THIS night... Oh no...

Tom’s voice cracked me back into reality, “He’s busy... his parents are in town again.”

I turn to Tom, Good Save. I turn to Taint in annoyance, I’m gone, I’m gone. He disappeared slowly into the background. I look around and see Christal walking past with her usual two jackets and black jeans, “Chris!” I yelled and the girl walked up to me, I pull her into a hug, and feel her hands roam my back, “What’s up?”

Tom groaned, “You two. Christal, stay away from my man!” He hugged me tightly. No. He wasn’t gay, he liked to act it though...

The blonde girl shrugged, “I’ll fight for him.”

Tom scoffed, “You’ll fight for anything that has a dick.” I punch Tom in the stomach, “What? You’re not dating her, I don’t want you to.”

I shook my head, “Chris, I’ll see you around,” I hug her goodbye, and whisper, “See you round’ the library.” She nodded and walked away.

I turn at Tom, “She’s not a whore.”

Tom shrugged, “I know, but you always go back to her, it pisses me off.” He made a point... Christal and I had dated three times,  but I ended all three times, cause she didn’t know how to keep her hands to herself. “Elliot, you two are better as friends.” I nod, even though I knew that wasn’t true.
