Ch. 1

[Dan's POV]

I walk around the unfamiliar room. I'm sick of moving. Why won't my parent let me suffer? I think to myself. Everything they've done to me, I deserve.

I sit down on my bed just thinking to myself, when I hear yelling. The yelling and fighting of my parents. This happens at least, I don't know, fifty thousand times a day.

"We can't afford to move town every few months!"

"We're doing this for Dan's sake! He is struggling and you're saying that we should just leave him to suffer? What kind of father are you!?"

"I know Dan is struggling but we are running low on money! Would you like us to starve or have a struggling son?"

"I would starve for my son! Maybe if you HAD a job we would have more money!"

"Maybe if you didn't slack off we would have money!"

"You don't have a job AT ALL! HOW IS THAT GETTING US MONEY??"

"FUCK OFF YOU STUPID SLUT!"

And with that I heard the front door slam and a car speed off down the road. I heard my mum walk past my room, sobbing a bit. A few silent tears left my eyes while I put on my music to try block out my thoughts.

I walk into the school's front office, collecting my timetable. Science. Great start. I walk out of the office and into the year 10 quadrangle. I put up my hood, shoving my hands into the pockets of my black skinny jeans.

I sit in the empty corner of the small field. I hear someone yell, which startles me.

"Hey Joe, look! Some little shit is in our corner!" Your corner? Is there such thing? As they creep closer I try hide my face with my fringe while creeping closer to the corner.

I close my eyes while flinching. I feel someone push away my fringe. Shit down my face, I'm going to get my ass beaten up not even an hour into the new school.

I open up one of my eyes to see a face really close to mine. They have blue eyes and blonde hair. The hair sticks up in such a way it kind of makes them look like a pineapple, but a very angry looking pineapple.

"Awe, are you scared?" The figure infront of me says being very intimidating. I just close my eye again and feel a stinging pain on my left cheek.

"Hope you've learnt, now beat it, kid." And with that I ran over to a tree half way across the quad.

I slump underneath the tree, holding back as many tears as possible. A few slip, but many are being held back with all the power I have within me.

Great start to a new school. You fucked up as soon as you got there. Way to go Dan.
