M i c h a e l ' s P.O.V

I ran down the halls as my vision got a little blurry from the tears streaming down my face, why do I have to have so many insecurities and having so many people hate me? Even my own family. I shot myself out the doors and ran as fast as I could to my house, more like room. My breathing started getting heavy even though I knew I wasn't necessarily fat,nor was I skinny.

I arrived at my house and I just ran as fast AsI could up to my room because I hear my father home and he was drinking too, even worse. I walked over to my bed, but before I could I could see my own reflection. My hair was a mess, my eyes were red and puffy, black circles under my eyes, after seeing myself I just couldn't stop. The sudden shaking of the body, lip quivering, scratching my own skin, then literally bleeding pain. I'm a wreck.

🔹Next Day🔹

L U K E ' S P.O.V

I walked into the classroom and saw Michael with his head down, I knew he must be tired or something. Today I wanted to ask him why he ran out like he did yesterday but I know it's none of my business. I'm just curious.

"Hi um, Michael? Sorry to bother you but I was just really curious as to why you ran out of the class yesterday?"

He took a moment but then he looked up at me with watery eyes.

"Oh um, sorry I had to go to the restroom really bad and I just got sick a little so I-uh went home."

I knew he was lying. But I went along with it.

"Oh okay, hope you're feeling better today." I added to try to make him think I believed it.

"Okay class, today we will go ahead and actually start a project. It will be with your partner that sits right next to you. Jim, please pass out these papers. We will be making an atom model. It is Due in 4 weeks."

This class we barely do anything. Are real classes we do a lot.

"So, we're partners O guess" I questioned him.

"Yeah." He replied.

M i c h a e l ' s P.O.V

I heard Luke walk up to me and ask me why I ran. My eyes got watery just thinking about it so I just lifted my head up and came up with the quickest lie.

Now we have this project together. I don't want home to come to my house, if he did he would probably come to school and tell everyone and just make fun of me from the way I live.

"so, you wanna work on this at my house?" I heard him speak up.

"Yeah, I'd um rather do it at your house." I stuttered a bit.

"Okay, so I'll see you tomorrow then.. Since it's Friday today."

"Yeah. Okay"

The bell soon rang and it's 7th period. Thank you.

I went to my locker and unlocked the lock. Opening it a small little note drifted out. I opened it up and it read "Hi, I am your secret admirer and I really like you, come down the the ally down the street to know who I am. I'll be waiting<3" a part of me was happy that someone actually liked me, but my gut told me that it's gotta be a mistake.

I grab all of my belongings and and walk down to the valley. It was about sunset timing so it was about to get dark.

I arrived there kinda happy, but I lost that smile. 2 guys walked out behind and dumpster, and 3 from behind me. I knew that this was a trick. "Hey boy! Come here" I just stood there in fear. I'm not the one to exactly fight back. Before I knew it they grabbed ahold of me and threw me up against the hard, cold brick wall. My head banged against it and I fell to the ground. They started punching and kicking me face and body to the point where I felt numb. The last thing I heard was laughing.

The laughing I heard before.

Luke's friends.
