The Sharpest Lives

Leave me alone

I opened my eyes from an alarm ringing in my ear, I fell asleep? I quickly got dressed and ready for school then ran downstairs, I needed food. I walked into the kitchen and saw mum sitting at the table sipping her coffee.

"You skipped dinner last night, Something wrong?" She asked concerned

"I just fell asleep" I replied pouring some milk and coco pop's into a bowl, I walked to the table and started eating with my mum staring at me.

"Someone knocked for you yesterday"

"Who?" I raised an eyebrow, why was my day so weird yesterday?

"Just some boy, he asked me questions about you... Said it was something to do with a quiz at school" My mum smiled and finished her coffee, I swallowed the last of the milk, walked into the living room and grabbed my bag.

"Bye" I shouted and walked out the front door on my way to school, I couldn't help but think of why everyone was asking me questions? Have I become the new school gossip or something? When I arrived at school random people came up to me and asked me random questions such as "Do you have a middle name", "What's you favourite colour" and so on.

First two lessons of the day... Music. I didn't really mind music because I'd be a background singer and since there was a lot of them no one could hear me. The bell rang and I walked to my lesson and sat down quietly whilst the others grabbed their instruments and microphones.

I saw Mikey walk into the room and look around, he talked to the teacher and he walked over to the table and sat opposite to me.

"So Mikey, what instrument do you play? Or don't you. I'm sure we can assign you something" Mikey didn't turn to the teacher, he just looked at me

"Bass guitar" He replied to the teacher smiling at me.

"Our first bass guitarist class!" The teacher cried with joy but no one looked bothered. "Right singers to the left, drummers at the back and guitarist to the right" I stood up and walked the the left, Mikey was opposite me. "I'm sure we all know the band that use to be called BUSTED! Well today we are going to perform that's what I go to school for!" Typical, a school song. "Firstly I will let you watch the video" He handed out the music sheets and then played the video.

Throughout the video I could see Mikey looking at the sheets and then me, It made me feel good inside. When the video finished we all took our positions and the teacher counted us in. I didn't really sing, I mimed. So that's what drama's good for! I saw Mikey laugh and then he started playing, He was actually really good. No he was GREAT. It even looked like he didn't need to try. When we finished we just watched music video's and evaluated them. I had to work with Amy who was quite nice towards me until someone walked by.

When the bell rang for break I started to walk off until Kyle stood in front of me, he was the "Coolest boy in school" Biggest twat I say.

"Hey Kaylee, Someone tells me you like the new boy" I just tried to walk by him but he grabbed my wrist and pulled me back, "Don't walk away from me bitch" He threatened

"Leave me alone!" I shouted at him trying to pull my hand back, I looked to the side and Mikey was standing there gripping his wrist.

"You have 3 seconds to let go" I saw the boy let go straight away and he ran off.

"Thanks" I muttered

"Did he hurt you?" He said turning to examine my arm

"No, look you didn't need to do that for me" I said trying to walk off but he just followed copying my pace.

"You don't talk much do you?" He smiled trying to lighten the mood.

"Why are you talking to me if you know that? Are you feeling sorry for me or something or is this some kind of joke?" I stopped to face him, he was frowning

"No, It's nice to talk to someone then and again... I know what it's like to get bullied and to be alone but you're blocking people out of your life" He said holding eye contact, "Let me in your life" I saw his pupils dilate.

"Okay" I whispered, did I just say that? He smiled

"Let's go to the canteen" He walked and I followed. I didn't want to but it was like I was being dragged. I was being controlled but how?
