Kiss the light goodbye

chapter three

I stood up and went back to my room and picked out some clothes for school, I was already late so I didn’t care how long I took.

Walking into the bathroom, I opened up the draw under the sink and took out a rusty razor, I sat on the floor and held it to my wrist, it has been one month I was clean for but I guess im not as strong as I thought, as I dragged the cold metal blade across my skin, I remember how much I missed this feeling, this addictive drug, watching as the blood seeps out and runs down my wrist, once I had finished on both wrists I started on my thighs and then my stomach, after I felt satisfied, I hoped in the shower and washed all the blood off watching the water turn red, I got out and slowly got dressed, when I pulled my clothes across my cuts it gave me a sting that I hated but loved. I looked at the time and knew if I was any later the teacher would ring my parents and that is something I didn’t want to deal with, so I quickly wrote myself a late note, luckily I’m good at forging my father’s signature, I started to run down the street to school but felt a sharp pain in my stomach and remembered what happened to me yesterday and slowed down and walked instead. I went straight to my locker and threw in my books, and went to my fourth period class.

“Mr Harper, it’s so nice for you to join us” Mrs Laferty sarcastically said.

“Sorry I’m late” I whispered.

“Just take a seat Mr Harper, and open your text book to page 43” Mrs Laferty snorted.

I lowered my head and shuffled to my seat in the back of the room and opened my text book that was on the table and started reading.  All the students looked up when the teacher got called out the room, the students all stated throwing paper. When the teacher walked back in everyone quickly sat down and buried their heads.

“Mr Harper, the principle would like to see you, now” Mrs Laferty said.

I grabbed my bag and headed to the door, as I walked I heard people laugh and giggle, whispering behind me, which made me feel uncomfortable, I quickly walked out and sat on the chair outside the principal’s office and waited to be called in.

“Mr Harper please come in and take a seat” the principle in a harsh tone.

I sat down and wondered what I had done to be called in here.

“It’s come to my attention that you are being harassed but some students from our school, is this true” the principal questioned.

“Who told you this, sir?” I asked.

Then I heard a knock on the door and Lucifer walked in.

“Hello again bailey” Lucifer smiled.

“What, are you doing here” I questioned.

“Didn’t you hear, I’m a new teacher here” Lucifer grinned.

“Was it you who talked to the principal” I asked getting pissed.

“Yes it was” he smirked.

“Mr Harper is it true” the principal asked again.

“No, it is not true and nothing like that has ever happened to me” I said looking at Lucifer, and I saw him glare at me.

“ok Mr harper thank you for your time, you can go back to class now” the principal gestured, I walked out and quickly ran, I didn’t want to go back to that class so I went and sat in the toilets instead.

Why is he my new teacher, why did he have to say anything, that stupid bastard, I locked the door and grabbed the razor out my bag and held it to my wrist but it didn’t feel right, so I put it back and pulled out a small satchel, of white power, people call it blow or coke but I like to call it snow, if I had to go to my next class facing Lucifer and the students then I’d need this to get through it. I pulled out a hard cover of one of my books, and a cut straw, and made 4 lines, I lined the straw with the snow and started snorting, and the feeling was amazing, addictive, I felt great, I started on the second line when I heard someone walk into the bathroom, so I sat there hoping they would hurry and leave.
