Into the Light

Part One

        *Various rooster noises*

       "SMACK", "Alright, alright I'm up!" I yell to no one. 

      I lay on my Red and Grey covers questioning my existence. "UGHH"  I groan,  remembering that have school. 

      I get up and walk across the room to my bathroom to take a quick shower. After I finish my shower, I run downstairs grab a snack bar and my lunch, and start to walk to school. During the walk I put in my headphones and listen to Old rock and Screamo. I glance over and notice a guy that is walking pretty close to me, I decide to brush it off and continue to school, although I can see him catching glances at me.  I arrive at school, and get off the bus. I drop off my lunch at my locker and head towards my first class. As soon as I make it I head to back of the class and take a seat and get out my stuff for class. 

                                                               *Blah blah boring class stuff*

      I head to lunch, already done with the day. After finding an empty table in the corner of the lunchroom, I start to nibble at the PB & J that I had made myself the day before. I look up to notice that same guy from this morning sitting alone at the table in front of me, yet again catching not so sneaky glances at me. I couldn't help but realize how handsome he actually is, he has light brown wavy hair that was cut down at the sides and long at the top to where it fell into his face. His face was very sculpted, I couldn't quite see his eyes from the distance I was at, his skin tone is the perfect shade of tan, and he is tall and slender, although he is very muscular. He turned around and saw me looking at him so I quickly turned back to my lunch, with my cheeks noticeably flushed. 

      After lunch had passed, I walk to my next class trying to get there without passing Brad Joseph or Tony Brown, although I do have the next class with both of them. I get there unnoticed and take a seat in the middle of the classroom, because Tony and Brad normally claim seats in the back. I get out my stuff for class and sit there for a while before class starts. My teacher walks into the classroom and starts to teach Health and Wellness although no one is paying attention, besides the goodies that sit in the front. I turn and look behind me to check if Tony or Brad is there, to notice the handsome guy that I saw both this morning and at lunch. His eyes flicker from his paper to me, our eyes meet for a split second before I quickly turn back to my doodles on my assignment. Brad shoves the door open loudly and Tony follows quickly behind him. They make their way to the back of the class, but not before walking up to me at shoving my stuff off of the desk. I get onto the floor and try to pick up all of my stuff before I get any more attention focused onto me. I reach for my last piece of paper to notice something that felt like human skin. I look over and see the guy from earlier handing me my piece of paper with my doodles on it. I grab the paper and sit back in my seat. I realize that he saw my doodles and flush very hardly. I cover my face and lay my head on my desk and wait for class to be over. 

       Health and Wellness comes to and end and I quickly scurry out of the room before Brad or Tony can catch me. I reach my locker and pull out my stuff to go home. I open the doors of the school and start to make my way back home. I was walking on the sidewalk watching the cars pass by, when I heard some footsteps clicking behind me. I turned around and saw that mysterious guy. "Hey." said the tall figure behind me. 

        "Umm, Hi?" I said awkwardly.

       I could only think of how handsome and low his voice was. Wait that's not what I meant, I'm not into guys. My thoughts got interrupted when I heard his han... voice again. "I'm sorry, Brad and Tony are such douches." He said, chuckling softly. 

   "No, it's fine. You know you didn't have to help me pick up my stuff." I said turning to see him walking next to me now. 

       "It was not your fault that they did that so yes, I did have to help. Off topic, what's your name by the way?" He asked, his beautiful green eyes, with streaks of brown, grey, and yellow, flickering to mine.

    "Uhh, my name's Basil. What about yours?" I asked regretting the first part.

    "I'm Rhys. Nice to meet you." he said turning to me with a brilliant white smile.

    "Well, this is mine. Bye." I said looking at my house. 

    "Bye Basil. I hope to talk to you again sometime." He waved back at me, continuing on down the street.

       I walk into my house and run upstairs to my bedroom, hearing my mom yell up to me. " Basil? Is that you?"

   "Yeah, It's me." I mumble before closing my bedroom door and plopping onto my bed. 

                                                                               ~TIMESKIP~

     "Dinner!" I hear my mom yell up to me.

    "Okay mom, I'm coming." I yell back to her

     I set my phone on my bed before getting up to go downstairs for dinner. I get downstairs and walk over to the cabinet to help set the table. After finishing setting the table, I continue to help by grabbing the food and bringing it to the middle of the table. I sit down and start to set food on my plate before continuing to eat the meal. Dinner in my house is mostly quiet, since I don't really talk much, my mom just finishes her meal and goes back to her room, and my dad is out working all the time. I just like to be in my own world where I'm not judged by the way I look or act. A world where I don't have to act out to get noticed for something I do. Where I don't get bullied by people who don't like themselves. A world that is cruel and heartless, from the way they think to the way they act. 

 Anyways, I finish my Vegetarian lasagna and peas and head back up to my room where I fall asleep thinking of Rhys.
