I "woke up" to my mom shaking my shoulder. I was already awake, and was pretty "shooken" (lol get it? Ok I'll stop) I opened my eyes and looked up at mom.

"Wake up sweetie" she said softly.

I lazily squeezed out a small "mmm" and slammed my head down at the table. I'm not aloud to get up and leave the table until father tells me to. I hear doors open and close, showers running, and creaking.

"You may be excused to get ready for school, that behavior is unacceptable and you had to pay the consequences, this isn't me "BeInG nIcE" this is me having to leave for work and not needing a call to the school about you missing. You understand?" My father said, I nodded politely, at least as politely as I could and bolted up to my room. I had to make it out to the buss, I quickly changed and slightly combed my hair, grabbing my shoes and backpack heading down the stairs, grabbing a bagel, taking a bite and heading out the door, shoes in hand, bagel in the other, and backpack on my back. I made it to the bus stop, bagel finished, as I put on my shoes, the bus came. My Converse where on (obviously converse the best kind of sneaker, and if you have a problem with it, you can bring it up here because will love everyone 💕 lmao moving on) but not tied. I stepped on the bus, waiting for a hold day of torment.

This Time Skip Is Brought To You By My Lack Of Ideas And Motivation!

I was in 6th period, just one more period until the day was over, but I passed my ex-best friend on my way to my 7th period, I hate school and I'm only 2 weeks in. I was dozing off in class, then the bell wrung and I  snapped awake before I could doze off completely. I grabbed my stuff and exited the classroom, trying to walk as fast as I could to pass the place we cross paths before we do, not to mention I sit right in front of somebody who dislikes me. I see him and his gang mobbing down the hallway, pushing others to the side. I saw him look into my eyes, I looked back for a second before trying to at least head to the bathroom before they get to me. His gang members are Loonest, Bistil, and my ex-best friend, Seth. I looked back up again to see how close they where, I stared right into Seth's eyes, the way he looked flooded my brain with a flashback.

I dragged my friend up to the treehouse that his father built for him. We climbed the ladder and landed at the top, snacks in our hands, laughing and opening snacks. They where in 6th grade but still acted like children. He looked to his best friend, wondering if he would be able to tell him his secret. He stared for a second. "You good bro?" Asked the other. "Oh uh! Oh yeah uhm.. can I tell you something? You have to promise to keep it a secret though, ok?" He asks, the other boy nods eagerly. "Ok..." he says quietly, then mumbles something. "What?" Asks the other "I kind of..like....boys..." he says, quietly but loud enough for the other to hear. "That's ok! I won't tell!" Says the other. "Your secret is safe with me! Pinky promise?" The other asks, holding out his pinky. He hold out his and they interlock, "pinky promise" he says.

I wake up excitedly, getting ready. It was my first day of middle school and I couldn't wait to see my best friend again!! I get up and get dressed, heading downstairs and getting some toast. I go to exit the door before my mom calls out,

"Have a good day at school! I love you!!"

"I love you too!!" I shout back, leaving the house and walking down the street to the bus stop. Nobody was there when the bus picked me up, I guess I stand at that bus stop alone, it's ok I'll still get to talk to my best friend when I get to school. I sat down on the bus and watched as trees passed by. We made it to the school after picking a few more kids up.

Time Skip To Lunch
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I got my tray and stood by the wall, looking for him. I looked around for a little, then my stomach dropped. I stare as I see him sit down with the popular kids. I almost didn't recognize him, he had grown more, unlike me. He also had become bigger, but not my weight, but with more muscle. I try to think rationally, if I go over there I could get humiliated by the football team, if I talk to him privately, I wouldn't. But then I realized I wouldn't ever get the chance to talk to him privately since the football team likes to stick together like a pack. I get up the courage and walk over, my stomach dropping farther each step I take. I finally get to the table my mouth dry and hands shaking vigurously.

End Of Flashback
(Heheheh)

I realize I have been just standing there, I walk faster, as I pass them they shout a bunch of gay slurs at me. I'm sure they don't necessarily want to hurt me since there are so many people around, but if it were just us, I'd be bleeding right now. I make it to my class and sit down, sadly I have a class with somebody else who doesn't like me. He starts kicking the back of my seat and poking at my sweater. I sigh and get out my notebook to start bell work.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This actually took me FOREVER to write, it took me like 2 hours, and it was 2 in the morning so I had to go to bed. But I got it done!! Yayyyyy!!

By the way, I don't know how many people's schools do bell work, if you are in school. My school does bell work, which is just work you do after the bell rings, and normally it only takes a few minutes, we go over it (check it) and then we continue on to class. I thought I might explain it to the people who didn't know.

And for the dude that sits behind Dace, he doesn't really matter so he doesn't have a name like the others. He really is just the guy that sits behind Dave and torments him in his last class, but he really doesn't do much else in the story. Therefore, no need to really give him a name!

Thank you for reading this story, and if you read this afterthought, I'm very grateful! I'm also happy that you guys enjoy this book!! I hope I can keep the motivation to keep working on it, I almost completely abandoned it because I was unmotivated. I decided to actually post again because of how much people liked it! This is my first original book, so I'm very grateful to the people that like it! I will stop talking now because I don't want to bore you, but chapter 6 might take a while to come out, knowing now that I won't have a consistent schedule, I don't want you to expect it soon. But it might come soon! It depends on my mood really. I want to tell you all now, that I might have a posting spree, and then rarely post, these are really just my patterns, and if I keep this book going, my dream would be to finish it! Now I'm really going to stop writing now! I love you all! <33
