Save Me

Violence

Did I ever mention that I hate being the center of attention. Well I'm mentioning it now. I felt really hot and I didn't know what to do. So I froze and did nothing. "I ship it." One girl randomly said and the attention was shifted to her. "Wait what, that makes no sense," Said the guy right next to her. She smiled, "Yeah but it ended the awkward silence." She pointed out. One guy started laughing. Pretty soon the whole table was laughing. I think that girl who said something about shipping is Sara, star of the track team. Or some bullshit like that. She had been involved in an egg prank a few months back. "But seriously all of us that were involved in hurting you want to say sorry. A big misunderstanding that we might explain someday." Charlie a football player said. I was confused. One why were they apologizing? Two why were they sorry? Three why couldn't they explain? I shook my head, beggars can't be choosers. "I- it's cool.. I guess." I responded. It honestly wasn't but what was I supposed to say. My answer is as good as any. "By the way have any of you seen Lisa. I really need to talk to her." Who the fuck is Lisa? "You mean my sister Lisa? Yeah she's home sick. I'll tell her to call you when I get home." David said. Well that makes sense why I have no fucking clue who she is. "Oh someone got a crush?" Sara asked. Charlie blushed, "No." He said way to quickly. David laughed, "Oh really? You are so convincing. I bet you wouldn't mind if I told her you don't." Charlie paled and stammered. Frank leaned over. "You okay." I realized how tense I was. I tried to relax. "Yeah, I'm fine." I turned to look at him. He didn't seem to believe me. "We can go somewhere else if you want." Leo said. I turned to him and smiled. "I'm fine guys. By the way we still gotta go over that Algebra." I said turning back to Frank. His eyes blew up as he grabbed his bag. I spent the rest of lunch answering as many of his questions as I could. When the bell rang though he still had more questions but could get most of the work done. "I help you with the rest latter." I said as we threw away our junk and headed to art class, again, with all of them. I was dreading this class the most right now. I can't believe I chose to keep it. What am I, crazy? Apperently I am. In the classroom were tables that seated four. We sat down and I tapped my foot furiously. Before any of them could ask if I was okay the bell rang and class started. "Alright class today is a free draw. Remember this means you will lose points if you don't turn anything in at the end of class. Materials are in the cupboard, chatter chatter chatter, begin." Everyone got up and gathered the materials they needed. I grabbed a few pieces of blank piece of paper and than returned to my seat. I was thinking about what I wanted to draw. Something simple that I already knew how to draw. The time I got back I knew exactly what I wanted to draw. The boys beat me back and had already started on whatever they were drawing. We were all so into it that we didn't talk most of the period. "Were did you learn to draw like that?!" Jack exclaimed once he finished. I tensed at him yelling than quickly snapped out of it. Several people turned to look at us. More specially me. "Uh ys self self taught." I stammered looking down and tensing up. "No way." Leo said. He was sitting next to me. "It's not even that good. Or finished." I said. I know it's not even good. I looked up again and we were back into our own bubble. "Like hell it's not any good. Look at mine. It's looks like shit." I looked at his picture that what a cliff and a moon. It was better than mine. What the fuck was he even thinking. "Also who are you drawing?" I sighed. It was as bad as I thought. I looked down at my mess of a drawing. "Kylo Ren." I should just give up. "Who is that?" Frank asked. I looked back up. They all looked confused. "The guy that is the son of Han Solo." They still looked confused. "Who?" My mouth was gaping open. "Star Wars. Please tell me you've at least heard of it." They still looked a little confused. Leo confirmed my fears, "It's a book right." Oh my fucking God this is a nightmare. "Are you telling me you have never seen the best movie series ever made? A masterpiece in itself." I asked. They didn't say anything. "So it's a movie?" Leo said still confused. "Do you at least know Star Track?" I asked not wanting to give up. "Okay I watched the first movie." Frank said. I turned to him. "Aaannd?" He looked down. "I only got halfway though. I had to do something." I just stared at them. I was so shocked. I have never met someone that has not seen at least one of the two. I opened my mouth to speak but it only came out as a large sigh. "If you have the movies we could come over and watch them." Jack suggested. Not the best option to go to my house with my mom. Plus my Tv's doesn't really work. "I have them but my Tv's broken." I said continuing my sketch. "How about you just come over and watch it at our place." I thought about it then. "Well I'm not doing anything better with my life." I need to fucking finish this before the period ends. "Cool it's a sleepover." Oh shit I want to reconcider my answer. But before I could say anything the bell rang."Alright pensils down put your drawings in the center and go." I looked up and saw that Frank had drawn a dog, Leo had drawn a robot, and Jack was still with the cliff and moon. Though they had actully coloered theres and mine just looked like shit, but it's whatever. Not like I could do any better. My next class was French with Leo. I walked a bit behind him before Victoria grabbed me and turned me around. "We need to talk." She was holding on to my arm so I couldn't run. Oh I am so fucked. I looked down at the ground. "Victoria let him go!" Leo yelled. She did at I ran to Leo. He had stopped about ten feet away. I ran behind him and hid from Victoria. "Don't even think about touching him ever again!" He yelled at a running Victoria. He than turned back to me. "Are you okay? I'm so sorry I wasn't paying attention." I was shaking a little and was a little startled but other than that I was fine. "Why do you keep apoligizing when something happens?" I asked, my mind was braking. To much is going on at once. So much has happened that makes no sence to me. "Because if I paid more attention this wouldn't have happened." It was true in a way. "Come on we gotta get to class." He said probably concluding that I was alright. I'm not sure if I really am. My mind wants to know what is going on. Though something inside me is telling me that the time is not right. We got to class just as the bell rang. "Mr. Nightshade who is this?" The teacher asked. "I'm Leo Anderson, sorry that we're late it's my fault." Leo said flawlessly. I was staying a bit behind him. The teacher doesn't exactly like me. Our teacher motioned for us to take a seat. "Next time introduce yourself in French not english. This is French three not one or two. Speak in French or not at all." I sat down in my usual seat in the back. "Mr. Anderson I have to assine you a seat, you can't just sit were ever." Oh here we go. Some one tryes to sit by me and the teacher tells them off. If they tried to sit anywere else they would be fine. "I'm already over here. Plus I learn better when I'm in the back." He said than made a huge show of sliding out the chair and slowly siting in it. The teacher glared at him. "Do not test my patience boy. You will sit were I tell you to sit. I am telling you to sit up here." He pointed to the desk in front of the teachers desk. Leo smiled," And what if I say no?" We all watched as his face turned a deep red. "Fine you can sit by the fag if you want to!" Oh come on why do people keep using that word as a insult. I'm a male homosexual. I do not see the big deal. Leo's face quickly turned into one that pictured a sort of rage. He slowly got up letting his chair slide on the floor and then tip over and fall. He slowly walked over to the teacher rising to his full hieght. He towourd over the teacher. "What did you just call him? I think I mishead you." He said in a deadly tone. The teacher suddenly swung his fist at Leo's face. I sprung out of my chair. What the hell was Leo thinking. At the same time everyone seemed to spring alive. Several people jumped in front of my view so I couldn't see what was happening. I started to push threw people. A few people tryed to fold me back but when I looked at them questionaly they let go I broke threw the front of the crowd. Leo was bieng held back by at least five people and the teacher was on the ground not moving. A few people gathered by the teacher checking him over. I saw one person leave the room. I slowly walked over to Leo. They were still holding him back. "Leo?" He seemed to acnoledoge me but and started to put less efort into getting to the teacher. Yes for all of you who ask I am very crazy. I walked straight into his line of vision. "Leo he's down." He relaxed more and looked at me. They let go and Leo grabbed me and pulled me into a bear hug. I responded to his hug and hugged him in return. I don't get why he did what he did. But I was oddly thankfull that he stepped up for me. We just stayed like that and he slowly started to relax. Suddenly some adults barged into the room. Along with the nurse. "Who wants to explain to me what happened and who was involed?" Leo tensed again and held me closer. The nurse started to do her thing with the teacher. A girl named Nora stepped forward. "Leo wanted to sit by Nitorian but the teacher told him to sit him in the front and called Nitorian a fag. Leo went up to him to ask him what he said. Then the teacher just flat out punched him in the face." She pointed at us and I hid my face in his chest. I felt small but protected and safe. "You, bring your boyfriend to my office. You two, help carry him to the nurses office." I heard the principle comand. No one corrected him.
