When Luke Learned

chapter 4

I think that I found my middle school crush. Ashlyn is awsome. I walk from my room with my earbuds blaring my chemical romance. I'm in the zone as I walk to school which is the way I usually am these days. But today is different there's an eerie feeling in the air and instead of being scared, I want to find out why. Which is why when I'm halfway to school, I get jumped by two eighth graders. I smile as I realize, one was behind me the whole time. I put my phone and earbuds away quickly and threw my book back down, ready for a fight. As one comes up I kick him in the leg, putting him on the ground. The second guy gets a punch to the gut, and another to the jaw. I laugh as i grab my stuff and walk the rest of the way to school. Ashlyn was waiting for me by the front door. "I heard you got in a fight?" She says "how do you kn-" I stop mid sentence when I see myself on a video fighting the two eighth graders. "That's how" ashlyn says smugly. I smiles and walks to class with her. I looked around and for once i wasn't being bullied in the hallways. It a was a good feeling. I looked over at ashlyn. She had dyed her hair blood red, and had new skull earrings. She was as cute as ever. I decided to share my
feelings at the end of the day when peter walks over, rocking a Patrick stump hairdo. "What's up, fellow losers" Luke smiles and turns his volume up. Twenty one pilots was blasting through my head by the time i got to 3rd block. At the end of the day I find myself surrounded by eighth graders. Four of them turn and shove me into some lockers and pin me down. I go to speak but find a fist pounding at my gut. "Thats what you get you freakin weirdo!" One yells punching me in the face. It was actually kinda funny. They punch me a couple more times and then walk away, leaving me with cuts and bruises. Ashlyn runs over and helps me up. I limp to my locker and get my stuff. My ears were ringing and there was a faint pounding in my head. I stumble to the door where peter is waiting. He takes me home and I fall on the steps as I try to walk up to my room. I lay down on the bed and realize how tired I actually was. I fall to sleep in a matter of minutes with one sentence stuck in my head, "that's what you get you freakin weirdo"....
