Mr.Lonely

Chapter 1 - The Start

I never knew my mother, I was told that she passed away after giving birth to me. I always told myself that I am responsible for her death. I was told by Clare, my care worker, that I was named Mars because of my mother's love for planets, space and astronomy. However, those things never appealed to me.

I was told that my father ran away when he found out my mother was pregnant with me, what a bitch. I don't ever want to be like him.

I have never seen any pictures of my parents but Clare would always tell me that I resembled my mother. She told me that she was good friends with my mother. She said that I have my mothers big hazel eyes and her smile.

I snapped back into reality as the teacher called out my name.
"Mars, what was the question I just asked Jason" said Mr Matthews

"Urmm" I mumbled " I'm not sure, I wasn't focused"

"You don't have to be here, you can easily leave. Is that what you want"

"No Sir"

"Focus then" He said. I could hear the anger in his voice. I fucking hate this teacher, he's always trying to get at me.

"As students of Orvell University" Mr Matthews explained " You will all be required to raise funds and help out a charity for the next week. I don't mind what charity you choose to work with, as long as you run it past me."

"Can I work with the charity to get Mars a home?" Shouted Aaron as the whole room began to laugh and stare at me. I flicked him off as I looked down at my notes.

Everyone began their own individual conversations , as I just sat there staring at my books.
The bell rings and I began to pack up as students rushed towards the exit.

"Hold on, before you go" said Mr Matthews " You will need to pick a partner and have a charity ready for tomorrow's lesson."

When Mr Matthews finished talking, everyone quickly dispersed from the room. I walked out into the hallway and pulled out some earphones. I felt someone grab my shoulder.

I slowly turned around and saw a tall, well-built figure behind me, it was Tony Valentino. He's had it out for me ever since I embarrassed him in high school. I looked around  and see a group of his friends behind him.

"For fuck sake" I said as a fist collided with my cheek. I dropped to the floor clutching the side he hit. His friends swarmed around me and began to kick me. I curled up into a ball to protect my  body as best as I can.

"Oi, what's going on" I heard someone shout as Tony and his friends scattered.
I move my hands away from my face and see Mr Heff, my music teacher, standing over me.

"Mars, are you alright?" Asked Mr Heff as he helped me to my feet.

"Yeah, I'm fine" I said as I brushed myself down.

"No your not, this is the third time this week that I've had to save you."

"I said I'm fine, just don't tell anyone"

"I will have to. Students of Orvell should feel safe when they are here"

I ran my hand through my hair and started to walk off.

"Don't be late for my class tomorrow" said Mr Hoff as I walked out of the block.
