[TW: VIOLENCE]
CODY'S POV:
I felt tears come to my eyes, why did I say that to him? I hate Duncan. He pulled and ragged me around like a doll, soon enough pushing me to the concrete ground. He kicked me in the face and pulled my hair, I saw the boy from earlier in the crowd with his hand over his mouth.
I got punched, slapped and kicked and nobody cared. I got insulted, and everybody chanted for Duncan. So I just let him do it, I usually don't, but now I realized that nobody really even likes me, so what's the point? I'm tired, I don't want to keep fighting back if I'm fighting for nobody but myself.
I was already bruised up from my parents this morning. Now I'm getting even more injured, my parents won't like this, especially my dad. My dad says I have to become more of a 'man'. I've tried, but nothing works.
When everybody left, I was full of blood, bruises and scratches, sat on the concrete ground. The crowd followed Duncan, and I felt as if I was about to pass out. But I looked up to see 4 people walking to help me. One was that boy, Noah.
"Are you okay? I have some bandages in my bag, hold on." A girl with a blue top and black hair reached into her bag, and began wrapping bandages around my scratches.
"Jeez...you look really beaten up...what happened to even cause that?" Said another boy, with blonde hair and green eyes. Did they care? I was speechless, these strangers I've never met before, they actually cared."Um, yeah, I'm okay." I answered, looking side to side as my scratches were being wrapped up in bandages. I looked back up to see Noah holding his hand out, offering to help me up. I grabbed his hand as he pulled me up with a small smirk. I wiped the blood from my nose as my stomach flipped from his smile, and let go of his hand. I turned to the other 3.
"I'm Owen, those 3 are Eva, Izzy and Noah." I smiled and nodded as she told me they're names.
"Thanks for helping me, I really appreciate it." I said, grabbing my bag from the ground.
"Don't let that happen again, it seemed awful." Noah mentioned, in his usual, monotone voice. I lifted my bag over my shoulders and looked him in the eyes.
"I'll try not to." I smiled, turning to walk home.
"Wait! Before you start walking, can I give you our numbers?" I heard one of the two girls say in a hyperactive voice, the girl must've been Izzy.She gave me they're numbers and I walked home. As I walked in, swinging the door open and shutting it behind me, I put my bag up on the coat hangers and walked in. I saw my dad, looking at me with crossed arms.
"What happened to you?" He said, in a rough and angry voice. I glanced side to side, then back to him. I scratched the back of my neck.
"Nothing." I answered, walking upstairs. I knew that he knew I had gotten in another fight and lost.I slumped onto my bed and grabbed my phone from the bedside table, typing in their numbers. I finally had people who cared.
NOAH: Hey, your the guy who sits next to me in maths, right?
ME: Yeah, that's me! :)
NOAH: Well, I wanted to let you know that me, Izzy, Owen and Eva are having a sleepover tomorrow, you can come if you want.
ME: I'd love to come! What's the address?
NOAH: It's at Owen's, the address is **** ******
ME: Okay, thanks! I'll see you tomorrow then? :3
NOAH: Alright, bye then.
ME: Byee! :D
Im finally going to have a sleepover! I'm so excited, but I really hope they weren't tricking me or something. I squealed and kicked my legs, causing the covers to fall off of my bed. I didn't care! I finally had some really cool friends.
That Noah guy...he seems really cool. I love his hair and eyes, the way he dressed, everything. I don't know why I'm thinking this, because it seems weird. I like Gwen, even if she doesn't like me back. But Noah seemed really nice too...
Im not gay or anything, but this is so confusing. Do I like Gwen? Or am I just clinging onto her? I heard tapping at my window. I opened my curtains to see...SIERRA!? I fell back in shock.
Sierra is some weird stalker who's obsessed with me, we are friends, but she has quite an obsession. I opened my window and let her in. She could've just knock, it might be getting dark but it's really only 9pm.
"HI CODYKINS! HOW ARE YOU? IS EVERYTHING OKAY? YOUR SO MUCH TALLER! WHATS WITH ALL THE BRUISES?" I haven't seen her in a few weeks, so she was bombarding me with questions. I shrugged and looked up at her, she was pretty tall.
"Nothing really happened." I said, putting my hands in my pockets.
We talked for a few hours and soon later, she left.I yawned and looked out of my window, I wanted to sneak out, but I was too tired. It was midnight now, I led on my bed and watched the ceiling fan, I scrolled through tiktok on my phone, but I began feeling tired. Yet, I couldn't sleep, the one person flooding my mind was Noah. Noah this, Noah that, why was I thinking about him so much. His beautiful eyes, his long hair, everything.
Why? Why was he so handsome? why did somebody like him care about me? Why I keep thinking about him? But I also couldn't stop thinking about what Gwen and Courtney had said about me.
"He's a freak! Why does he cling to you like an obedient dog." They laughed about me, insulted me, not knowing I was there and listening to every single little word and detail they said. It was tiring, I wanted her to like me, but she didn't. She liked Duncan, I've known this for a while, but haven't said anything, since I know he likes her back, but he's with Courtney. And I don't want to upset anybody.
