Life, Death, Together

Chapter 6

Some people like laying outside in your backyard at night and having a relaxing time, not when your locked out for the night.

The cold grass and the thought of everything that had happened in my life kept me awake. The memories of me doing everything for the first time, back when life was easier and I didn't get bullied for no reason.

Back when my parents.....

Back when they weren't so strict....

Why are they so strict now?

What did I do?

Nothing.

I didn't do anything, they just became strict one day, I can barely remember before that though, only the main events. Only when, I lost my first tooth, or when a family member died, it was simple back then, something exciting happened, I would smile. If something terrible happened, I would cry. Now it's just.....

Sad.

The sound of my parents rummaging through the house and the beautiful sunrise told me it was morning. I sat up and stretched, the grass was quite comfortable once you got used to it. My mom unlocked the backdoor and opened it and snapped her head at me.

"What. Are. You. DOING!" I covered my ears and walked right past her, inside. I went into my room and changed my clothes, the bed gave me weird feelings. I had my headphones in by now, I brushed my teeth and put my bag on. I basically already ate breakfast and it was time for me to head to school anyway.

"Crap. I have to take the bus." I haven't gotten my driver's license yet because I keep failing, but whatever. I walked to the bus stop just down the hill, the tree sprinkled water on me as the wind shook it. It felt relaxing, crisp air and damp leaves. The hill was decently small and I got to the stop quickly.

The music blasting in my ears was giving me reasons to go to school somehow. I had already caused chaos like a mad 6-year old. The bus arrived and the big sign on it read, "Free wifi, pay for the ride!" I searched my pocket for 50 cents to give to the bus driver, I pulled out the two quarters and put them in the pay box. I searched the back for an open seat and sat down, I didn't feel like standing and the bus was basically empty.

I sighed as we passed by the school, I grabbed my bag and got off at the minty-green stop, the shaded top didn't help anything as the fall wind kept me cool. I walked the cement pathway up to the main doors and avoided eye contact with everybody. I didn't want to be seen now, especially after what happened the last time I was here.

I quickly ran through the halls and ignored my name being called by the few students who somehow knew me. I quickly went to the study hall, luckily, I had no classes today. Some people didn't either, it was more a make-up day in our school.

If you don't have any assignments finished and you don't have time, you would have a whole day to work on any assignments. I opened my computer back that I had grabbed while passing by my locker and pulled out my computer, the old pencil marking on the back from when my friends were messing around.

I opened up my first document about the history of the mythical creatures and the land before that. The part of the study hall I was sitting in had books all over the place, all of them are meant for studying, essays, and every other kind of school-work.

I got out of the awful smelling desk and looked around, I was struggling to find the history books in here and the walls were taller than I thought, I looked up to find the section about our culture and nobody was in this section of the study hall so I didn't think about running into people. I also didn't think about running into the desks scattered around the wall.

The sharp pain of the corner of a desk smacking me and the crack in my back caught my attention.

I was being held by somebody.

If I wasn't saved by some random person, that corner would be three more inches into my back. The guy holding me was panting and by his dark tennis shoes shaking he was in shock. I straightened myself up and looked back, he wiped some sweat off his forehead and dusted himself off.

"I am so sorry! Are you okay?" I was worried about the man that just saved my back, surprising. "Don't worry about me, you just about had a desk in your stomach." I fully turned around and stared at this man. I stuttered to speak for a moment before actually breathing. "Still, i'm so sorry," I kept stuttering, what's up with me today? "Alright goodbye!" I quickly ran away in search of another book for a different project.

I grabbed a random book about space and walked right back to the desk. I continued to read about "Klept, and the other moons." I couldn't read any more than a few pages before thinking more about the guy I had run into before.

Who was he? Is he dating somebody? He seems cute. He looks so nice!

I swear if he was my soulmate I wouldn't care one bit, but me and his father would have some issues. He was so cute though! He shaggy blonde hair and his green eyes were adorable, he was skinny but not super skinny and he was just perfect! He looked like the perfect boy!

I continued to do my work but he still stayed in my mind, he was the perfect man I needed. Like, the perfect boy! I tried to ignore him and do my work but it was too hard for me to handle. I looked over at the desk were I had fallen and the boy was still there, reading a book. He looked over his book and stared at me before winking and I blushed and covered my face up.

He was perfect.
