Pool

Zane frowned at his parents. They insisted that he and his brothers and sister go to the public pools and go swimming.

He was in his room now, wearing clothes over his bathing suit. Zane knew that his parents only insisted that he go with his siblings just to get him outside, but he also knew his mother was trying to protect him from his abusive father, which Zane was grateful for. Zane had actually put cover-up makeup onto all his bruises, because they were so bad.

"Zaaaaaaaaaaaaane." Garroth, the older brother of Zane, stretched out the "a".
"What do you want, Garroth?" Zane looked at his older brother.
"It's time to go." Garroth smiled and headed downstairs.

Zane sighed and picked up his black duffle bag, and headed down the stairs.

Instead of his usual dark outfits, Zane was wearing a sky blue shirt with a darker blue jacket. He had light blue jeans on, shorts actually, and white sneakers. Stargazer insisted he wore the shirt. For some reason it said "Love Me Harder".... Which was something Garroth and Vlayd did not approve of. Therefore, Garroth suggested that Zane keep his jacket zippered up.

When they got there, Garroth and Vlayd immediately jumped into one of the pools. Stargazer and Zane, however, sat on the ground and had their feet in the water.

A few minutes later Stargazer had gone into the bathroom.

"Hey there."

Zane turned around and saw Gene, the one who he admired, standing there.

"Hey...." Zane eyed him before turning his head back to the pool.
"So...." Gene stood next to him. "What a lovely day today."
"I hate the sun," Zane sighed. "And thank Irene it hates me to."
"Why?" Gene asked. "The sun isn't all that bad."
"To you maybe not." Zane shrugged. "But try having it where every time you try to go outside with your family to do something, even wearing sunscreen, you STILL get sun burnt."
"... Huh..." Gene looked at the sky.

Zane sighed and looked at his reflection. All he saw was an ugly, useless, worthless, filthy, son of a b**** screwup.

He never brushed his hair, he only had one working eye, he was socially awkward, and he was the worst.

Gene frowned down at Zane. What was the freshman thinking?

Without a word, Gene got ready to push the pale freshman into the water.

"W-wait!! Gene I can't swim-" Zane got cut off by the water.

Gene got in after Zane, supporting him.

"...... I can't swim." Zane spitted out water.
"I'll help you. It's not that hard." Gene grinned at the freshman.

Zane frowned underneath his mask. Why was Gene helping him? It was only on the last day of school that Gene had told Zane how screwed up he was.

"Probably doesn't want me to drown so that he can bully me next year...." Zane thought.

Gene poked Zane's nose, and let go. Zane still could not swim and so he ended up at the bottom of the pool.

"What. A. Scrub." Gene smirked at the submerged figure and got out.

"Yet.... I like that scrub." He thought to himself as he left with Sasha and Zenix.
