Truth of horrid choices

~T\W/O~

I look at him. Such a....unique name. "Kai" I say. Ajax nods. We sit in silence again when the bell rings. We go into the school and we both act like nothing happened. I go to my fifth hour which is math and sit in the back. Pretty soon people were coming in and sitting next to their friends to talk. Then Ajax comes in and sees me. He walks to the back to sit next to me.

"Hi" I say. Everyone looks at us. "Did the broken girl just talk?" A girl- or Tina- says. I shrug and point my direction to Ajax. He rubs his arm and shifts in his seat. "I'm sorry for being like this"-he starts-"I'm kind of antisocial" I look at him "I am too. But then why are you talking to me?" I ask. He looks at me "You seem....different" I nod at him and we go back to silence, people still eyeing me.

...

A couple of days has past and me and Ajax became friends despite our awkward moments. We only talk to each other when no one is around because we don't want people to know that the broken kids have friends. Not that we care about that.

After some time we start hanging out at my house and having fun. I haven't felt like this since I first met Luna.I still have those feelings around her though, of course. Once Ajax is gone, I look at myself in the mirror. I take my hair out of my ponytail and let it fall to full length, past my waist. I examine myself in the mirror. What am I going to do? I think as I start pacing around. I hear a knock at the door and sadly answer it. No one was there. "Hello?" I call. No answer. I look down and see a box. It had my name on it in purple ink. I decide to open it after work.

...

After a long day of work I go and sit down at the couch with a box cutter and the box. I slowly and carefully cut the tape and open the flaps of the box. What I see in the box is a note. I search the box. Only a note..? Who does that? I look at the note and read it. There were only nine sentences and it was written terribly. But, those nine sentences impacted me hard.

-The letter-

Dear Kai Ren Goodman,

You need to tell them. Tell you friends what you are. Tell them who changed you. Tell them who made you this way. Tell them. Your friends. No matter the cost. Who knows, you might reveal another's secret by saying your own. But I'm just me huh?

Sincerely,

You Know Who

-end of letter-

For a second I forgot who you know who was. Voldemort? I think. Nope. That's Harry Potter Kai. I went into a mini panic mode. Should I tell them? What if they are against it? What if they hate me? What if they...... are like me? Questions and bad results came into my head at the thought of telling Luna and Ajax. I decide to go against boss and not tell them...yet. It was now morning and I get ready, like usual. I walk to school and someone comes up to me. A popular..?

"Hey beautiful" A blonde boy says while putting his arm around me. I push him off and clench my fists. fight it... fight it... I slowly calm down. "Sunshine"-the man starts-"you know you love me." I stand there, afraid that if I move, I will punch him. I take breath and turn around and walk away.

"Hey wait!" The man says. He catches up to me and starts talking. AGAIN. "I'm Matt, and you are?" I held my tongue. "Not a talker huh? That's fine!" I sigh and start walking faster towards my class. Once I get in my class I realize that I have this class with him. I quickly hide and go in my seat and wait for the bell to ring. Once he found me it was now time for class, so he sat in the front and talked to his friends, now forgetting about me. For now.

Once the fourth hour ending bell rang signaling lunch, I darted to my locker. I start to think about Matt. Why does he look so familiar.? His face and his cold stare, even when he was full of cheer? I started walking to lunch when I get pinned to a wall. Matt. I look him in the eyes. "Tell everyone Kai. Everyone needs to know. When you tell, I tell" I drop my gaze to the floor. "It's opposite, Matt" I mutter, but still audible. He slams my head on the wall and drops me. He then walks away and I sit on the floor, my head bleeding. I was in no pain. I was just....thinking. Then, I drifted into unconsciousness. I start to have a flashback.

-flashback-

Running for my life. They killed my parents, my brother. My sister and new baby niece made it out, but ran away, never to be seen again. I fall on my knees and start sobbing in the cold rain. Someone comes up to me and puts a knife to my neck. "Come with me or your next" I refuse and stand my ground. I was still crying, but not from fear. "Aren't you scared?" Another figure says. "No. Things don't scare me, only hurt" I mutter. They look at each other "Then we will just take that fact into consideration" One says. "Come with us, we will change you. You seem fit for our community. Right Jewel?" The other one pipes up. They nod at each other and knock me out.
