Tyler's Perspective
I haven't seen the new guy after the bathroom conversation. If I could even call it that. My day was normal, name calling, hitting, eyeing. I'm an outcast...

After school, I walked to my prison cell. Home, it's not that far. It was too cold for an early March and I just wanted to get home and chill without the usual problems in my house. Good thing I have my hoodie, so so warm. I huffed in the air as I relaxed and blended in the calm afternoon. Everything looked dead and I somehow like how it feels like.

I wonder what the new guy's name is... He looked so...Stunning. How can a guy have such dark chocolate pools as eyes? I grinned stupidly in the air as my cheeks thawed.

I got home and picked the key up from the usual spot,under the flower pot. As I walk in slowly, I managed to see my father sleeping in the couch. Due to the beer cans and smokey air, I knew he was done for the day. Good, he won't be hitting me or Zack. I went to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator to grab a root beer and some left overs. As I heated the food, I went to look for my little brother. He was in our room, sleeping in my bed. At the right on him, the nightstand had a note and it read:

Ty, some friends dropped me here and dad was sleeping. I already ate and let me sleep.I'm super tried.
😝 love,Zack

I smiled and went to stroke his hair and put my blanket over him. The food. I went to the kitchen and opened the microwave to get the food out. I seated myself and ate my favorite food, Taco Bell's beef and cheese burrito. When I finished, I washed the dishes and went to my room. I closed the door, turned the lights off and grabbed my phone. I put my headphones on to listen to Death Cab For Cutie. I opened the window and sat in the edge and started to softy sing. I looked out to see cars going by as the night went dark.
Nights like this, I cherish the most.

It was all Ok for once. Blurry didn't come out.

Not today...
