~Delirious's Story~
(2nd grade)

~Delirious's POV~

I sigh as I slowly walk to my private school. I am not allowed to go to public school anymore mainly because of my eyes. My dad has gotten even agrier, since I was suspended for setting one toe on the premises of the school. But luckily I pass by the public school everyday to see what it's like.

As I walk along the wall, so I can get a close look, I notice a small kid. He was hiding behind a pillar, talking into a walkie-talkie. His lips were unreadable because it was hidden behind the device. I decided to hise behind the wall of the gate. I peeked around the corner to try to spot anything. All I saw was another hiding kid, in a bush, tlaking into another walkie-talkie, 'Probably to that other kid.' I thought and kept watching. They seemed to finally take action when a tall Irish dude walked by the kid behind the pillar. He stopped him and now they are talking, 'Looks like someone doesn't like someone.' I thought as I watched the bitterness in the Irish kid's face show.

Five mintes later, he leaves. That's when I realize I am going to be late for my school, 'Crap...'
I take off running.
----
I make it, just in the nick of time. In class I am panting and trying not to breathe too loud, so I don't bother people.
~After school~

I walk out of the school, hiding my face with my hood. 'Got made fun of again today... This is getting out of hand.' I thought and continued walking. After a few feet I heard yelling. I peek a little and see those kids from this morning. They are waving... I move my head to the other side of the street, to the Irish kid they stopped this morning.

I kept watching from behind a tree.

The kid who was behind a pillar, seemed dazed for some reason, and the kid who was in the bushes started running across the street.

The glasses screamed at the other and he seemed confused. That is, until he noticed the giant truck headed straight for him. He wouldn't move. He was paralyzed with fear. 'Should I help? But what about my eyes? My face is hidden... THEN GO!' My legs moved on their own as a dashed into the street and tackled the black haired kid.

I groaned and so did the black haired kid. An Irish accent spoke, "Dude! Are you alright?" "Yeah... If whoever was on me would GET OFF!" I flinched a little and didn't even realize I was on him. I got off and stood up, hoping my hood was enough to hide my face.

"That's no way to thank you saviour." The Irish kid said. He finally got up and took a moment to stare at me. He stuck out his hand, "Hi! Name's Vanoss!" I didn't move. Didn't want them to see me.

"So Uhh... Thanks for saving me!" Vanoss said pulling away his hand. I wanted to nod at least, but this was all so awkward.

Finally, another kid walked over, easing the tension a little. "Thank God you are okay!" The kid, with an accent, said. He hugged Vanoss, but I still felt his eyes on me. The other kid noticed Vanoss and turned towards me, "Hi!" He said.

"Not much of a talker, are yah?" Irish accent asked. I didn't answer. Out of the corner of my eye, I caught the sight of a silver van and spun around to walk to it.

I heard them murmur a few things, 'Probably about Cartoonz...' I thought and closed the door. We sped off.

It was silent. Not a comfortable one. "So... You weren't at school when I went there to pick you up. Did you forget about today's appointment?" Cartoonz finally spoke.

I shook my head, "More like I didn't want to go..." He sighed and I propped my head up on my arm to watch out the window. "You have to go Jonathan... These appointments are supposed to help you." "Well look at what they have done for me so far." Cartoonz sighed, "Because you aren't trying." This ticked me off, "Yes I am! I am trying! I have been trying! But I can't get the hang of it okay! Ever thought of that!?" Cartoonz seemed a little shockef that I yelled.

"Uhh..." He was speechless, "Thought not." I mumble and keep watching the moving pictures out the window.
----
"Jonathan..." I heard a voice and someone shake me, "Hey bud..." It shook me again and I groaned, "Come on get up. We are here." I groaned again and opened my eyes. It was dusk.

'How weird, it usually doesn't take this long to get here...' I fully sat up from a slouching position and examined my surroundings.

It's an ice cream place.

I tried to hide my smile by replacing it with confusion, "Why are we here?" I asked, "Well, to reward you with all the hard work you have done." Cartoonz answered. This time I let my smile grow. "Wait... What about mom and dad?" I asked getting out of the car, "Don't worry. I'll just tell them therapy ran a little later than usual, so we decided to stay in a motel for the night." As we passed the backseat window, I looked in and strangly... It was empty.

"Where's Lilly?" Cartoonz didn't answer and kept walking, "Cartoonz?" "Let's just get some ice cream..." He mumbled.
----
On the way to the motel, not much was said. It was sorta of an eerie silence, it was creepy. Cartoonz didn't seem to notice the silence.

We were driving for what seemed like hours, until we finally reached our destination. It was a decent motel, not much different from the others we ever been to. I got out of the car and walked behind Cartoonz into the place. "Hello, room for two please." The person at the desk nodded and typed on the computer. They then handed the key to Cartoonz and immediately he walked away.

I followed, having to run sometimes to catch up, Cartoonz all the way to our room. He opened it with the key and let me in. He walked in after, checking the halls before closing the door all the way. "The beds are always so fluffly." I say and jump on my bed. Cartoonz didn't respond.

"Cartoonz? You have been silent for awhile, is everything okay?" He didn't answer again, it was like he was in a trance, "Cartoonz!" I waved my hand in front of his face. I then slapped his face, but not too hard. He flinched and looked at me, "What?"

"You were spaced out. Cartoonz never spaces out, WHAT'S WRONG?" I asked. Cartoonz bit his lip, then sighed, "Sit fully down." I did as he said, "Look... Your parents, had a HUGE argument and well... They are divorcing..." I tilted my head, "What does that mean?" "It means... They won't be together anymore." My eyes widened, "Isn't that good?" Cartoonz shook his head, "No.. That means if they both don't need me I have to leave. It was in my contract." I felt anger prickle inside me, "SCREW THE CONTRACT! Cartoonz, it doesn't matter if my parents need you. I need you! No one else loves me and you are the closes thing to a parent I have!" Cartoonz looked at me with a little sparkle in his eye, "Thanks Jonathan..."

We sat in silence for a little longer, until Cartoonz finally suggested we go to bed. I agreed and we slept soundlessly throughout the night.
