My Youth ✔

Chapter 1: Second Year

High school will change your life, for the better or for the worse.

Cody's POV
I finished another can of beer, my seventh...maybe? My head was spinning a bit and my heart was pounding hard as the beat. I rubbed my temples and started to walk away from the music.

"Cody where ya goin?" Logan asked with his hand on my shoulder.

"The bathroom." I said. "Wanna join nosey?" I asked smirking.

"Gross, no thanks." he said laughing and rolled his eyes smiling.

"I'll be back." I said and went upstairs to find the bathroom.

I froze when I heard Rebecca's voice. I headed in the direction it was coming from. I stopped at a door that was slightly open and I peeked on reflex. My eyes widen as she made out with another guy. That guy...that she's been hanging way too close to lately. That fucking...bitch! I slammed the door open and she pulled away from him quickly. Rebecca stared at me with widen eyes. I walked up to them and instantly punched the guy in the nose. He groaned stepping back holding his nose. I turned and glared at her.

"We're done." I said and her eyes began to water.

"I can explain!" she yelled grabbing my arm and I pulled it away roughly.

"No need." I said glaring at her then him before storming out the room, down the stairs.

Fuck the bathroom. I don't need to go anymore. Fuck her. Fuck him.

I found Logan in the kitchen and told him we needed to go. We decided to go to another party. I got more drunk than ever. I don't remember everything, and things are a bit fuzzy. But I do know it ruined my life.

"Hey sexy." a voice said as I was dancing.

I turned around and saw a figure and a blurry face. Didn't know who the girl was. Just knew she sounded hot, had some good moves, and was a good kisser. I was drunk, in pain, and....just not thinking. And found out I slept with Logan's girlfriend. I lost my best friend and girlfriend in one night. The two that slowly made me popular. And after that I eventually was back to a nobody. Or the jerk who dumped Rebecca and slept with my my best friend/ Logan's girlfriend. That was part of my first year of high school. _______________________________________________________________________

In your first year you're just thrown in there. Your freshmeat, and you're gonna be torn apart; Well unless you do what I did, get popular and stick with the popular. But things will be different this year. I no longer have my best friend Logan or my girlfriend Rebecca, the hottest girl all the boys wanted. Well was the hottest girl, this year it's my little sister. And I don't like it one bit. Push that all out the way. For this year, I turn to my old friends who I knew from elementary. Which they took me back in open arms.

"Well, well, well." Lance said smirking as I stood by the table with my lunch tray.

Lance Young, related to Logan. They are actually twins. They look completely different though so wouldn't think they were twins.

"Look what we have here guys." Lance said crossing his arms as he smirked.

"Trash?" Patrick said looking up at me glaring as he picked his food.

"A bitch?" Howie said before drinking his milk.

"A lost lamb?" Meg said while taking a bite from her burger.

"A traitor?" Pieper said before throwing a fry in his mouth.

"All good things all good things." Lance said nodding and I rolled my eyes.

"I get it, you all hate me." I said grumbling as I felt someone staring at me.

I turned around and caught Ashton looking at me from a table a bit far away; Immediately he looked away and turned his back towards me. I sighed and turned back to look at my friends. They we're all looking at Darby, the only one who hadn't said a thing yet. I looked at him also waiting, as he leaned back smirking.

"I see your lonely bitch, I'm sorry but I don't give free fucks if that's what you want." Darby said and the others laughed.

I rolled my eyes smiling as Meg pat a seat between her and Lance. I felt happiness swell inside of me. I sat down looking all around me at the people I've known for so long.

"We are all still mad at you." Pieper said.

"Damn straight." Darby said before taking a big bite out of his burger and Pieper rolled his eyes as ketchup dripped down Darby's chin.

"So you will be punished." Lance said smirking as something flickered in his eyes.

"What kind of punishment?" I asked gulping as Pieper smirked laying his cheek on his fist, leaning on his elbow.

"Oh you'll see." Pieper said smirking more.

"Oh goody." I said groaning.

"You know we love ya." Meg said smiling while nudging me in the ribs.

"Oh really now?" I said rolling my eyes smiling.

This bitch is trying to kill me- matter of fact I bet they all are. But I guess I sorta deserve it.

****

"So how was your summer?" Howie asked as we walked back home from school.

"He cried at my house mostly. The first time in almost a year we've talked he comes and cries." Patrick said rolling his eyes and I glared crossing my arms.

My summer was terrible, is what I truly wanted to say.

"My summer was okay." I said nodding and glanced at Patrick, glaring at him. "And I didn't cry." I said and Patrick rolled his eyes.

"Sure." Patrick said smirking and I pouted making Meg laugh.

Meg and Howie eventually went separate ways while Patrick and I kept going straight. He did live near where my house was. Their was silence between us until he spoke.

"Well my house is right over there." Patrick said pointing to the right and I nodded.

"Bye." I said about to keep walking.

"Cody." I heard him say.

"Yeah?" I asked not looking at him.

"Be careful." he said and I turned to look at him finally.

He might be an asshole but he cares still.

"Yeah right;" I said grinning. "Careful isn't what I do." I said before turning away and walking the rest of the way home alone.
