True Colours - All Time Low

Chapter 1

-Rain-

"Oi, whore! Come over here and let's have some fun!" Matthew Elms called out from the other side of the hallway, winking as I cringed. He was obviously talking to me.

"Seriously, bitch. You haven't had your beating yet." he smirked. I sighed, guessing that I'd have to go. I could easily avoid it, though. Well, I thought I could have.

"I-I've got to go to Chemistry." I whimpered, trying to act strong and calm.

"Me and you equal Chemistry, babe!" one of Matt's friends, George, called out, "No, wait." he continued and pouted in a sarcastic manner.

"It's... It's you and I, not me and you." I whispered quietly. What had I done? I tried to restrain myself from correction, but I just went and corrected someone who abuses me. they must have thought that I thought I'm a smart arse.

'Nice one, Rain. Nice going; you're getting yourself killed.' I thought, widening my eyes. I took in my surroundings, seeing as they were the last I thought I'd ever see. It wasn't that much of a pleasant environment, infact, not at all.

There were dull, grey walls covered partially by ugly, orange lockers. Down the hall, there were a group if year 7s huddled around a water fountain, watching the fight about to go down. People pushed past, shouting and screaming as morning break came to an end.

"What did you just say?" George scowled.

"Nothing." I muttered quickly.

"Hmm... I'm pretty sure that she just corrected you." Matt smirked and the whole gang turned to me.

(I don't want to put any detail into this because I feel uncomfortable about this topic and I feel like some of you may, too.)

They charged towards me, and after a while, I began to feel too weak and fell to the ground, unconscious.

-*-

My eyes were glued shut and I attempted to pry them open, unfortunately failing. After a while, I gave up and decided to try moving my body, again failing. I growled in anger.

Well, hey, atleast I could do something.

"Hello?" I struggled in a scratchy voice.

"Oh, Rain, you're awake. I'm Sally, the school nurse? Sorry, some year 7s found you unconscious in the hallway and reported it. Do you remember what happened," a woman, presumably Nurse Sally, informed me.

"I don't remember, I must have fallen," I replied. Of course I remembered, I just was not allowed to talk about the situation to everyone and anyone. Nope.

"Hmm, must have been a mighty fall, eh?" Nurse Sally murmured as I finally succeeded in prying my eyes open. I sat up, nodding causing a searing pain to run through my entire body. I groaned. "You probably shouldn't try sitting up just yet.

When you're ready, would you like to go back to lessons or would you like to go home?"

"I'll go home, thanks. Can I go now?" Sally nodded, smiling at me. She was sweet.

As soon as I left the building, I ran home to my laptop. Maybe Myccah would be online. I grinned to myself. Myccah had replied to my message and we are now friends. I feel blessed by the gods. I remember the day as if it were yesterday.

-Flashback-

I was scrolling through tumblr like any other day when I saw the familliar notification. I had gotten an ask from annonymous. It wasn't unusual; I got lo ads of asks all the time. This one, however, was different. It read:

Dear Rain,

It would appear that we have alot in common, though know you not who I am. Well, you do, kind of.

My question, for you, Rain, is who I am. Who am I, Rain? What's my name? I'll give you a hint, it begins with an M. Ah, M, what a letter. You'd have thought it to be one of the most used letters in the alphabet, am I right? Is it, though?

Bye, for now.

~M

I sat in bewilderment, staring at my monitor, eyebrows furrowed. There were so many possibilities of who they may be. Are they male or female? What kind of blog do they run?

I sighed, logging off tumblr and crawling into my bed. I stayed up all night trying to figure it out, but I just couldn't. I was in a maths lesson when it finally hit me.

"Myccah." I breathed out. "Oh my God, it's Myccah." I got up out of my chair in a daze and wandered out of the classroom.

"Rain? Rain! Sit down! Rain!" Mrs Pike called out to me, but I took on a full sprint, running home. Why hadn't I thought of that before? Stupid Rain! Well, I guess it had been a month and a half since I'd sent him that message; I thought he couldn't be bothered with me.

But maybe it isn't even him.. I'll just guess it's him anyway; if I don't, I may never talk to him, and if it is then this may be the start to a new friendship.

The first thing I did when I opened tumblr was go to my ask box. I scrolled through so much junk before eventually coming across the one. 'Myccah?' I sent.

Moments afterwards I got a new follow and ask.

-myccahisdefinitelyapigeon is now following you-

-new ask from myccahisdefinitelyapigeon-

Well done, Rain. I'm proud of you!c:

Do you fancy giving birth to the ultimate new friendship? Oh wow, that sounds weird. Anyway, IM me if you want to be friends:D

~M

My mouth hung open. I started to type the reply, heart beating fast.

Hey! Dude, it's been a month and a half since I messaged you xD

Sure, I'll IM you when I get back from school. I kinda ran out of my class because I finally realised it could have been you, oops c; s'laters!;D

and I logged off.

-end of flashback-

Basically, that day I got a detention after school. Fun. But, after school, I did message Myccah, and thus began our story. We shortly became best friends, and I'd pushed away my feelings for him so we could be friends. Yeah, I still liked him a bit, but nowhere near as much as before.

I recieved a text from Myccah, we'd exchanged numbers about a year into our friendship. It's been 2 years. I'm almost at university, just a couple months away. I'm going to take music and drama; I like to perform, okay?

'Guess what?<3xxx'

'What?<3xxx'

'I got tickets to see a band we both like. I'd tell you who but you'd be too jealous;)<3xxx'

'Awesome! Who? Go on, tell me!<3xxx'

'It's a secret;3<3xxx'

'Whatever:c<3xxx'

'You always were a drama queen;) anyway, I have to go! Bye<3xxx'

'Hey!D: bye! Love you, dipshit;)<3xxx'

'Love you too, asswipe;)<3xxx'
