Junior Year.

1

(Aziel's POV)

Walking back to school after summer break must be a punishment from hell.

During that walk, you just think about all the fun you had that summer, the parties, getting high with your friends, getting drunk with your friends, trespassing on abandoned homes, towns. Unless, you're not the type to smoke or drink or do dumb illegal shit. If you're not you probably stayed home, watched some movies, hangout with friends at the beach , the boring stuff..

If you don't know me, my name is Aziel Dunfee and I might be gay. I'm currently  looking into it, because all summer i didn't have a taste for girls anymore, i genuinely don't know what happened, one day the thought of a guy kissing my neck felt amazing. I'm not 100% sure yet so I'm not 100% gay, maybe 58%...

It's my junior year, and I know its gonna suck. I have some of the strictest teachers this semester and their definitely gonna be on my ass, i swear i wouldn't be able to take a breath without getting a detention.

As i continue walking, i see my friends up ahead. It's good to see them again, like i didn't take a drag with them last night. We got crazy high last night, a surreal feeling, like your floating.

Cassie calles out my name. "Aziel!" I quickly walk up to her, slinging my arm around her shoulder before greeting the others

"Morning assholes, how did ya sleep?" i say teasingly.

" Terrible. What about you?" Jake responded, bags under his eyes clearly from sleep deprivation.

" Dude, you look like shit." i say quite concerned.

"Yeah, you do look like absolute shit." Kyle added, trying to be funny.

Luckily It worked and got Jake to laugh.

" Thanks man." He smiled.

"Alright, let's be real, you good, Jake?" Lia asked concerned for his mental health.

We all worry for Jake sometimes, 2 years ago , he almost took his life. We all cried that day.

" Ah~ Shit.. Nah guys. My insomnia is getting worse.. maybe I should lay off the weed?" he asked us.

We all nodded and agreed to his suggestion.

" Relax, it's not as bad as last time. I promised you guys i'd wait till i'm at least 20 before i take my life."

"Don't say shit like that. If you kill yourself, best believe, we'll die with you." i say sternly.

" i swear, Jake if you jump off a bridge, we'll jump with you. We die together."

We all walk to our usual smoking area which is next to the school between the school wall and a pillar which perfectly hid us.

Kyle pulled out a pack of cigs handing each of us one before he lights his.

In order we all light it, taking a long drag before lowly blowing it out of our lungs in sync.

This is us. We are dumb teenagers with crippling depression, anxiety and drug addictions. At least we got each other right?
