*Quinn’s POV*
Tyson had it easier then me in a lot of ways. No one at his new school knew he’d been-was-in love with his brother. They didn’t even have to know he was gay, but he said if he started hidding again, what would make him stop? Which was a good point. Back to my point though.
I had it easier then my brother and lover in one way.
He had nothing of mine except for what he’d stolen before leaving. I had a whole room full of his belongings. Hence my outfit today-a little to big and baggy, but it was a comfort. Wearing his clothes… I could close my eye’s and pretend he had his arms around me.
“Fag” someone muttered, bumping me purposely as they passed.
“Incest is a sin” someone else snickered, kncokign me right over.
My eyebrows drew together in a scowl “We aren’t even related dammit!” I shout after them.
I get to my knee’s to crawl to my feet, when of coruse, someone throws something at my face. Hard. I think it was a water bottle, but who am I to judge when I’m left hodling my split lip in pain. This time I get up super fast and speed walk down the hall to my locker.
Don’t think my locker is undisturbed-the picture of a perfect school locker. The school had had to paint it over so many time’s in the alst two weeks that they just gave up. So all the terrible threats and insults are staring me in the face when I arrive. I sigh, and as I do, a sharp scent hits my nose.
I look down. Oh ugh!
Someone had pee’d at the base of my locker. Great start to the day…
***************
“Tia! Wait up!” I catch up to her. She’s so pretty. So kind. I sigh inwardly-glad she’d been willing to give our friendship a chance. I was scared I’d hurt her badly when I used her to make Tyson jealous, but that’s not the case at all! She’s a tough cookie, not affected the way most girls were.
“Oh hey Quinn” something flcikers in her eye’s, but it’s goen before i can catch it.
“Want to go for lunch?” I ask, eagerly. Charlie’s getting sick of me.
“Oh sure, where do you want to go?” neither of us mention the cafeteria…
*Flash back*
Tyson was gone.. It was my first day back and he wasn’t here like he said he’d be. I was all alone. No one to stand next to me, stand up for me. Just me and my shadow, wading amoung the trenches of hate that poured like a stream from my peers.
Now it was lunch. I headed to the cafeteria out of routine.
There were a lot of kids in there and no supervision… not exactly a great choice. The place I’d eaten meals all my high school life loomed like a wall of endless darkness, threatening to strangle any fight left in me, any hope, any will to go on…
But where am I supposed to eat? It was raining outside and this was the only place at the school to get food. I’d just slip in and out, grabbing my meal, and disapear without drawing attention to myself. I eased the door open and… every face turned my way.
Silence fell. I gulped. Started walking towards the serving section when…
The first thing to hit was an apple. A table of girls giggled madly well I raised my hand to rub the back of my head. Ouch.. I looked around, wondering who had assaulted me with the fruit. As I was looking, another object hit my back.. A slice of pizza. Great-now I had a huge stain..
Then the full out cruality started. Food flyign at me from all directions. I gasped and got a mouth full of someone elses salad. Spluttering I ran to the exit and burst through the doors. I ran for a while, coming to a stop only when I felt safe. I sat down, shaking and whimpering.
“Quinn?” I looked up and there stood the beautiful Tia. She smiled sympathetically at me.
“Need some clothes?” they were girls clothes. They were to small. But it’s not like I could go home..
*Flash back over*
We were tired from out long walk here when we sat down in the Harvey’s. They had terrible fries here and decent milkshakes, but I’d insisted, begged, and plead that we eat at this chain restaurant for one lone reason…
“Umm, Quinn…. That’s a plate of just pickles”
I pick one up and wave it in her face “My point exactly”
She muches a gross fry “I’m not following you…”
I slide the plate to her. She hesitantly picks one up “It looks weird”
“Eat woman!” I demand. She chuckles and takes a bite. I watch as her eye’s light up in a twinkly lover sort of way, awed into pickle love by a long lonely life without a Harvey’s pickles lone taste in her mouth. She groans in delight and I smile big… until she steals another one univited and gulps it down.
“Hey!” I whine, flailing my arms in complaint.
“It’s like an mofo orgy in my mouth… ugh” she grins, taking more and more of my pickles.
“Is it a pickle eating contest you crave! Because I can best you in no time!”
Our eye’s lock. Show down time.
Thirty something pickles later, she’s smiling victoriously.
“You eat like a girl” she accuses, then burps.
I glower “Then you eat like a boy miss piggy.”
She pokes my ribs “You’re just mad because you bought me a meal”
“Correct” I agree with a grin. We make to get up and leave when a bell dings, alerting a customer. Both of our heads turn that way curiously-the only other high school around here has an earlier lunch, and most kids at our school eat at the café. Riley Fallen walks in. Alone.
His eye’s scan the area. Then they find me and lock onto their target. I flinch, grab Tia’s arm, and start to pull her away with me. I don’t have to tug long before she’s right in step, making an escape alongside me. Riley reaches out and grabs my wrist as I pass him “Quinn” he starts.
I wince and try to shake him off. No dice “Let go you bastard” I hiss.
“I really just want to talk to you, I-”
“I don’t want to talk to you” I growl.
“Please Quinn, if I could just apoligize properly, I’d-”
I break his grip on me, and stare at him with hellfire filled eye’s. “DO NOT SAY ANOTHER WORD” my tone is deadly, words clipped and pronounced to perfection “Do you know what you did to me you sick prick? Have you get any idea?!”
“Yes and-”
“No. There is no and” I cut him off “Something is wrong with you Riley. You don’t seem to understand that other people have feelings, families, friends, life’s. It’s all about you in that fucked up little head of yours. You ruined my life and I hope that haunts your conscious-if you have one-till the day you die”
I storm out the door, hearing Tia mutter a brief “Ahmen to that” before following.
