Glowing

It had always been the same every day. I would walk from class to class. Go to lunch. Then he would come and beat me up over some stupid whim. I just wished...maybe my day would change from that. I didn't care how or when...but I don't regret it.

My name is Caleb. In the simplest way to describe me, I'm the stereotypical nerd. Glasses, Trekkie, the high grades, you name it.

I opened my gym locker door and pulled out my gym clothes setting them on the empty bench behind me. I was always the last one in the locker room; to avoid all the common banter from the jocks of course. I pulled the white tee off my slender torso, and shoved it into the locker, then taking off my sneakers and doing the same. Suddenly my locker slammed shut and a hand hit the metal door beside my head. I froze. It was him. Damien. King of the school a lead jock. 

"'Sup, Nerd?" He smirked leaning dangerously closer to me. The strong smell of his Cologne and cigarettes becoming slightly overwhelming. I leaned back, my heart beating a mile a minute as I prepared for the abuse.  "Ready for your lesson?"

He placed his large hand heavily on my head and messed my hair. I shut my eyes as his fingers latched onto my hair and I winced. Suddenly his grip loosened and everything was still. I hesitantly opened my eyes to see he was staring down at my body. 

"What the..."

'Oh god. Please be wearing pants!' I thought, But when I looked down what I saw made me wish I wasn't wearing pants

"...Y-Your Chest is-" Damien stammered letting go of my hair. I opened my eyes and looked down. 

"WAIT...NO--SHIT-"  My chest was glowing a bright blue in the center.

"That means we're-"  We both glanced at his chest which was also glowing a bright red in the center.

"AW HELL NO!!" We both yelled in unison, turning away from each other, a heavy blush evident on both of our faces.

I guess I should explain. Here in Amipere, when two people meet, if both of their chest's glow bright colours, it means they are destined to be soul mates. No matter what. So I guess you can tell why i'm a little freaked.

"There is no way this can be happening right now!" Damien whispered running his hands through his Chestnut hair. My back slid down the cool suface of the deep blue lockers as I sat on the floor. 

"W-What do we do now?" I said after I mustered up the courage to speak.

"Shut up." Damien glared at me. "This doesn't change anything." 

"But-"

"I SAID SHUT IT NERD!" He turned and walked to his locker quickly changing and then jogging out onto the field. I sighed and got up off the floor pulling on my standard orange gym shirt and changing into my shorts. I put the rest of my stuff back into my locker and tied up my gym shoes. Putting the lock on the locker I walked to the door. Hesitating a moment, I slowly looked down at my chest. It still held a faint glow. 

"I can't go out there yet..." I pushed my glasses back up with my index finger and placed my hand on the old, paint chipped, wooden door to the field outside . That's when it swung open and hit me in the face. I stumbled backwards and fell. 

"Yo!" A hand reached out and grabbed my arm before I could hit the ground. "Watch it will ya! Fucking Nerd!" It was Damien and his crew. Two other guy's with the same build as him. Tall, Muscular, and brunet. Once I was standing Damien let go of my arm and roughly brushed past. "By the way, Coach cancelled class."

The second lacky snickered. I think his name was Jordan. 

"Well that gives us more time to have a little fun with the Nerd boy." They all chuckled walking closer to me. I backed into the wall and tried to slide past them, but Jordan slammed his fist to the wall beside me. "Ah, Ah, Ah~!" He waved his index finger back and forth. 

"What to do first?" The third lacky said, his voice deeper that the others. 

"Well, Greg? You brought up he question so you choose first." Damien chuckled.

Greg fixed his red Varsity jacket, and looked me over.

"I think, we can start...Here!" He plucked my glasses off my face and threw them across the room, I flinched as I heard them clatter on the floor. 

"Awe. You blind nerd?" Jordan snickered. I tried to hit out at them but I couldn't see too much. I stepped out from the wall and swung again. 

"Ooh! Feisty little Nerd today!" Jordan laughed. I stepped out again but tripped and fell forwards onto someone. 

"Watch it Nerd!" He yelled shoving me off. I glanced down and  noticed the glow in my chest was back.

Suddenly I was plucked off my feet, Damien had picked me up. I immediately knew what he was doing, Although, at least I was in my Gym clothes this time. I hit at his back as he walked across the change room. With one swift motion he dumped me head first in the trash bin.  He leaned in close to me.

"Listen here. If you tell anyone about this I will end you. Got it?" He whispered glaring at me.

I nodded my head as he hi-fived his lackeys and walked back to change clothes again. I pulled myself out of the garbage bin and brushed off the tissues and food wrappers that clung to my clothing. I hastily put my normal clothes back on and rushed out of the change room before anymore of the class could see what had transpired.
