Chapter 1 ~ May ~

No it was sad inside his room on his desk chair he held his head in his hands. He had just come home from school as he was thinking over the past few hours. They had chosen him again to be the bully victim. Noah knew that it was only a few weeks before until they would all graduate from college so he would only have to endure it for a little longer. He was really looking forward to a fresh start in uni where he could meet new people. Maybe those new people wouldn't judge him like everyone else did and his college. He noticed it all too well how people looked at him. He tried to ignore the stares and glares that were directed at him as he went about his day, but when he was home he felt terrible. Why did nobody like him? What was so weird about him? Noah thought over these questions for a while, keeping his eyes closed and his head leaning against the palms of his hands.

He was upset. Usually he could handle the way people treated him, but with grad coming up  and the fresh start as well he was beginning to feel quite depressed. What if nobody liked him and uni either? What if there were jerks again that made fun of him. He really wanted to go to uni and study for something, but he wasn't sure if he could keep going on with the way things are now.

He took a deep breath as he straightened his back, leaning against his desk chair well he tried to relax for a little. He looked at his laptop, his mind is still going over his issues. His parents didn't know about the bullying because Noah didn't like to tell them that their son was going through a shitty time at college because of some arrogant jerks. Usually he would just deal with it himself or go over to his older sister's to hang out. But today a new idea came into his head. He opened his laptop and googled for a while until he found a legit website that offered chats evinces. Noah looked it over and he quite like the idea that he could chat with strangers online. At least no one would judge him. He created a profile and had to choose a username. He figured he would go by something other than his name just in case. It wasn't needed to use a profile picture or to state a description about yourself. Noah smiled a bit and leaned back against his chair as he spent a few hours on the chat site, chatting with some people but not really finding someone special enough to consider an acquaintance. He sighed a little as it seemed the website wasn't going to be good that he grabbed his laptop, about to close it as a chat request came up. He thought it over for a minute and then decided that this was the last person he would try thanking to today.

Before he knew it, it was already time for dinner. He really liked this person they had been talking for a few hours. Noah's mood was much lighter now and it seemed that he finally found a person that he could get to know a little better they decided to add each other as friends on the website and then said goodbye for now as they both had to get on with their lives.

Noah was called for dinner as he ate with his mother and father, talking a little bit about school just mentioning the better things. After dinner Noah spent time in his room on homework. His room was a little bit small, but big enough to fit a single bed, a desk with a chair, and a closet for his clothes. The blue walls have a calming affect on him. But the mess in the room obviously pointed out that it was a boys room. But Noah always felt safe and at home in his room and he was glad that the people from college would never come in here. He was pretty sure most people didn't even know where he lived. After his homework was done he went to have a shower and put some stuff ready for the next day since it would be another challenging day. He took a deep breath and stretched as he flopped into bed and when to sleep peacefully.
