Giving a reason to live

Chapter one Hearing a soft new future

It all started with a smile... the one smile that made my life turn completely around and in fact saved me, which trust me is actually no joke.

My name is Daniel Sloss, a junior at my high school, diabetic and overall what you call a oddball. I'm been called a golden boy due to how i somehow make through my classes with ease and go through life with ease, well most of the time that is. Now i could go on and on about me right now, but that sounds more boring then a math lecture, so lets instead go to where this all starts Kay? good, see you there with a smile.

I woke up the same way like the last few years, drenched in sweat and gripping the sheets with kung fu like power. That's all thanks to night terrors and my depression worsening them, oh well normal day for me. Getting out of bed while avoiding my two sleeping puppies in there, I go take a shower, brush my teeth, put on the good smell of spray(axe spray in reality) and trying to fix my hair, i grab my clothes and back pack from the closet. I am what you call a late bloomer hottie in the sense that before the age of fourteen, i looked like the marshmallow monster form the ghost busters, but now i actually looked kinda good. The best way i could describe myself is a Chris Evans mixed with young leo, strong jawline but soft facial complexions, eyes that were gray/blue that looked sweet and sad at the same time mixed with medium length dirty blonde hair, add blue highlights for bangs, that completed my facial part. now my body is skinny, but has muscle in small amounts, making me have a slight buff skater/swimmer build.

okay, confession time, before my puberty change, anything black or skinny looked like a dress on a cow... like your mom! that was bad, sorry there. in truth it looked bad, but now with my tall build and soft deep voice... i may say i made everyone look at me with heart eyes. wearing a black punisher beanie with a gray tee and black wind breaker, it all mixed in well with the dark blue jeans and gray vans... yeah, i like dark clothes, sue me.

Getting past my makeup sesh and dress party, go girl time, i grab some pop tarts and throw them in my bag before taking my house keys and skate board with me outside. The ride takes about ten mins, so i pop in my earphones and listen to some Elvis,don't worry it was jay z, fall out boy and classical yesterday, as i push off and go to school. on the way there, i was reaching the parking lot when i... heard something call my name.,It was loud, but soft.. like an angel with a purpose. stopping quickly and turning around, there was a girl looking at me with a smile as was riding in her bus, i pulled my music out while asking slowly" Yeah, you say something?"

She just giggled and closed the window before her bus drove off, leaving me confused as i continued riding to the school and reaching the main plaza where my two friends hung out. "Don't know what that was about, but she did seem familiar... probably just was joking or needed my homework i guess" I thought this as i finally reached my spot, the shade, which already was holding Gabe, Eaton and soon to be me. The shade is a bench with two huge ass tress giving it all day shade no matter what time of day, so without a doubt we called it the shade as we claimed it on the first day. sitting down to Eaton and Gabe, i each gave them a fist bump while i pulled out my chocolate pop-tarts and listened to their rant about cs-go.

"I swear to Thor Eaton, one more time about how dust 2 is the better map and i will dick hit you with the awp. Mirage is clearly the better map no matter what, so just admit defeat bitch" Gabe said as he went back to his math homework and smirked as he saw me chuckling softly to his rant. Eaton just laughed as he threw a piece of muffin onto gabe's head and began spouting his holy word." Oh you can go suck a monkey ball Gibbers, Dust 2 will always be the best map in cs-go history for one reason... championships. Every ESL championship has the Dust 2 map the most picked, hence it must be the best" Eaton grinned smugly as Gabe rose and got close up to Eaton. Eaton was a six foot four Asian who was built like a really buff swimmer. Gabe was more around five foot eleven and looked like a Mexican Steve urkel.

Laughing at the two of them, i just got up and have them each a half of my last pop-tart before heading to my first class, calling back to them at the same time."Next time nerds, just play a game of cs-go with me so we can really settle this. take care and don't die of boredom". And with that, i went into the first class of my day and went into a daze.... That is till it became fifth period. Fifth for me was Social studies, a class where i sit alone at a table and read a book while everyone else talks with each other, but today i left my book at home and couldn't be more bored, but thank zues, the teach said today we will go outside and be free to hang out there.

Grabbing my stuff, i hurry out to the big green field and sit my stuff down next to a tree, getting myself comfy for a fifty minute nap. Well, i would've if it weren't for my stupid ears to hear a nearby conversation or more like come about." You fucking bitch, all i do is love and care for you, but ask for nothing and you go around and make me look dumb as shit."

Sighing loudly, i get up and face the couple and feel my heart drop as i do... it was the girl from earlier, but now on the ground with a red mark on her cheek. Now I usually ignore this kind of things and stay away, but this time... i ignored my own mind and charged the guy as he was yelling something" Feel good bitch? I hope you learn your less-ARGHH"

He didn't finished his sentenced as my fist connected hard with his jaw and sent him sprawling down to the grass, making him cough while i placed my foot on his chest.

"you really shouldn't say shit like that man, makes you look bad... but punching the girl? What the hell is wrong with you?" I said as i walked over to the girl crying softly on the ground, which me being a big softy made me feel terrible inside. kneeling slowly next to her, i place a hand on her shoulder and asked" Hey.... you need me to take you to the nurse? i took of prince douche over there, but I think it might be better if we-"

She without warning threw her arms around me and placed her head on my shoulder, her whole body shook and her tears seeped into my shirt as i kept a hand on her back while i tried to look at her face to see if the injury was really bad, What i saw instead was... her smiling and my body heating up from seeing it.

"th....Thank You and yes.. that be really kind" That was all she and i said as we made our way to the nurse, i wish i could say something but her smile was stuck in my mind, making my lips shut up while frying my brains thoughts. "Love at first sight? no, i barely know her. But you read enough stories to know this is how it feels. Oh shut up brain! Okay... was just trying to say that maybe that voice you heard earlier wasn't her joking, but saying something else. Like what? maybe... just maybe it was her warning you that you and her were going to save each others life. i saved her from a dick of a bf and i don't need saving. The wrists would beg to differ Dan.... now, let's go to the office"

Walking up to the door, i look at the girl in my arms while seeing my wrists with the... no, i'm only helping her and then i go back to being in the background and i definitely don't need saving especially after tonight.
