Kitchen Sink Fic

Lunch

The lunch lady slapped a scoop of mashed potatoes onto Tyler's plate. He told the lunch lady that that's all he wanted to eat, because it was. He looked around and attempted to find a spot to sit but it seemed as if there were no empty tables. So he had to find someone who seemed nice to sit with. He scanned the room and found a table that had one seat left and a bunch of tall teenagers. He knew it was probably not the best choice, but it was his only choice.

"That seat is saved, fag!" the tallest and biggest one laughed.

"My bad," Tyler remarked.

"Jerks," he whispered under his breath as he stood up, but he apparently didn't whisper it quietly enough.

"What did you just say, fag?!" he growled.

"Uh, Nothing! I promise!" Tyler said as his voice cracked.

"Oh no, I heard what you said!" The shortest but most muscular one laughed and they all started to walk towards him, they grabbed him by his hood and threw him to the ground.

"Please stop! I'm sorry, man!" Tyler pleaded, but they didn't care so they began to kick and punch him as he cried and sobbed.

"You baby! Grow a pair!"

"Just leave me alo-" Tyler stopped. He turned his head to the side and blacked out.

Tyler woke up underneath one of the table in the hallway, where he couldn't be seen. He didn't hear anyone. So he began to cry again. He didn't know what time it was, where he was, or what to do. He wondered where the teachers were while that happened. He didn't know what he got himself into. He suddenly heard footsteps.

"Hello? Is someone out here? Who's crying?"

Tyler forced himself out from under the table as he tried to stand up but couldn't.

"Oh! Hey, I'm Josh... Are you okay? I heard you crying. I was on my way to the bathroom," Josh said as he helped Tyler get up.

"Oh um yeah I'm okay. Oh and my name is Tyler," Tyler blushed as he saw how cute this boy's face was.

"What happened to you? You're all beaten up!"

"Nothing. What period are we in right now?"

"7th. Our last period. I'll walk you there."

"I-I have science."

"Okay then, lets go," he put his arm around Tyler and assisted him to his next class. Tyler was weak and could barely walk but he couldn't embarrass himself in front of his new potential friend.
