Give me the night

Heres To New Friends

Alex woke up with a huge hangover; pain slicing through his head.
I should NOT have gone to that party last night . he thought as he groaned. It was fun though, and I met a lot of cool people.

He got up slowly, trying to keep the nauseating dizziness at bay; and walked over to his dresser to get dressed, choosing the usual black hoodie and skinny jeans. Alex opened the bottom drawer and dug in the back, pulling out his binder, and sighing, if only I didn't need this...

He started getting dressed, putting on the binder, then pulling on a T-shirt and the hoodie. The alarm started to go off, so he yanked his pants on and went down stairs for breakfast.

As he walked passed the living room on his way to the kitchen; he sighed as he saw his step-dad passed out in the couch; a bottle of bourbon on the ground beside him.

He shook his head And turned toward the kitchen, opening the fridge door as he got inside.

Alex decided to have cereal, and grabbed the milk before opening the cabinet to get himself some food. Your kidding me! Alex thought as he shook an empty Cheerios box, hearing the last little bit of cereal shaking in the bottom of the box.
His step-dad must have eaten it. God damnnit he thought as he trashed the empty box, and walked out the door, grabbing his backpack on the way out.

Alex dreaded this part of his daily life, school, one of the worst places on earth for someone like him. Or anyone who was different for that matter.

"Hey look, if it isn't our resident dike!"
Alex flinched at the voice, dread flowing through his body, oh great, just the person i was hoping to avoid. he thought as an arm weaseled it's way around his shoulders and the voice spoke again, "awww, what's wrong bitch, can't take a little jab from a guy?"

Alex shoved the guy off, and turned to face him, David, one of his worst nightmares, "go away." Alex said, frowning.
David just grinned evilly,"aww come on, you know you want me to stay close to you."
Alex glared at him fiercely, and spoke, "if you don't leave now, you will regret it..."

Just then the bell rang, saving Alex from David's unwanted attention. David smirked and turned slightly, moving away. "I will see you later." He said Laughing and walking away.

Alex sighed, and walked to class. Once he got there he sat in his seat, and put his head against his desk, waiting for the school day to end.

Once the last bell of the day rang, Alex sighed in relief. He had had to deal with people looking at him and whispering all day, it gave him a headache.

Alex walked out if the school building after pushing through the end of the day throng of people rushing to go home, and turned to start walking home. He groaned internally as he saw David and his pack of friends hanging out by the front gate. He would have to find another way out of the school yard.

He turned and walked toward the foot ball field, planning on going our the back gates to avoid David. He walked across the field and stopped in front of the closed gates; looking up at them. Well shit. He thought as he settled the straps of his bag over his shoulders and started climbing. He had gotten about half way down the other side when he heard, "what are you doing?"

Alex gasped as he lost his grip and started to fall. He cried out as he fell toward the ground. He braced himself for the pain of hitting the ground; but it never came; In stead he fell into open arms. "Oof!" He huffed out as he settled in the arms of a stranger.

He looked up with wide eyes at the stranger who had saved him. He frowned as he thought, and caused me to fall... He quickly jumped out of the strangers arms and glared, "what the hell! What were you thinking!? I could have gotten hurt!" He crossed his arms and looked at the stranger; who he realized was a really hot guy.

He was tall and slightly muscled. He had dark brown hair, that was hanging slightly in his eyes, giving him a mysterious look. Under the hair; he had what appeared to be green eyes, sparkling with mischief as he smiled. His face was strong and handsome, he looked like he could be a model.

The guy in front of him rubbed the back of his neck and looked at him sheepishly before chuckling, "sorry... " he said as he backed up a bit. He looked up suddenly, and smiled, "I'm Michael by the way..."

Alex nodded and smiled at the other boy before holding out his hand in greeting, "Hi, I'm Alex."

Michael grinned and shook Alex's hand, chuckling softly. "So, why were you trying to scale your way over that fence like you were preforming a great escape?"

Alex blushed a bit in embarrassment; laughing a bit, "well... I was trying to avoid someone to be honest."

Michael laughed loudly, " so you decided to climb over the fence.... instead of walking through it?" He pointed to an opening in the links of the fence, smirking.

Alex mentally face palmed and sighed, "well shit..." he looked at the ground and adjusted the straps of his backpack on his shoulders. "I..uh.. thanks again for catching me." He said as he looked at the other boy.

Michael smiled, and pulled a pen out of his pocket. "Here," he said, taking Alex's hand, and writing a phone number on it, "call me some time..." he looked at Alex and smiled brightly.

Alex looked at the ground sheepishly, blushing, "...Anyway... nice to meet you, gotta run!" And with that, he turn and started jogging down the road toward his house. He was cute.
