Chapter 4

Pete walked out of the house admiring the rain. It was falling softly through the trees on to the ground. The steady beat of it on the sidewalk calmed him. He made his way to his car slowly as to soak in it. It fell on to his windshield as he climbed in to the silver vehicle.

He sat for a minute before pulling out of his drive way only hit a short Mexican kid. He had never jump out of his car so fast.

"Oh my lord, i'm so sorry! Are you okay?" The kid looked up at Pete startled.

"Y-yeah, I-Im sorry i w-was in th-the way." He said looking down at the ground. Pete offered a hand to help him off the ground, which the kid gratefully accepted.

"I'm Pete, what's your name?"

"I'm V-vic." He noted the fact that he was on a skate board.

"Do you go to South West?"

"Yeah, w-why?"

"I go there too. Want a ride to school?" Pete offered while motioning to the silver chevy in his drive way.

"Sure, Thank you so much." They climbed in to his car and off they went to place known as hell.

---

Patrick ran around the house grabbing this and that. Little necessitates for school that were unneeded but necessary. Whit was laughing at his disorder and distress. By the time they got to school (they were a little late as they had to walk because the bus came early and so the missed it) Patrick sent whit to her school across the street. He went to find Kellin after looking across the street to make sure Whit made safely to the Elementary School. After waving to her, he found Kellin sitting underneath a tree with Vic, Tony, and Josh(franceschi. Dun was no where to be found.) Patrick sat down with them and kellin jumped up onto his lap.

"Dude the new kid." Josh stated.

"Okay, but, like, hes cute. I call dibs." Tony laughed.

"Okay, Tone, you can have him. I have Kellin."

"Dude you walked into school with him today," Kellin Smiled wanting info.

"He hit me with car by mistake and offered to drive me to school." Patrick laughed and told them that it was very much a vic move to get hit by a car.

By the time the bell rang they were happy as could be.

----

The kids settled down into the class room just as the bell and Patrick was looking for Pete. Pete was running late to class as he had left his backpack at home. When Pete finally arrived Patrick smiled at him. He was worried Pete had left early that day.

Pete sat down next to him and the two sat in silence. It was a comfortable silence. The kind that you could read peacefully to in the middle of a storm. The kind that offered comfort. As to why it was like that, they were unsure. Pete new one thing for sure, him and Patrick would be friends for a while.

"He 'Trick?" Patrick laughed at the nick name the older boy had given him.

"Yeah, Pete?"

"Mom wants to know if you'll come over dinner sometime?" Pete said a bit awkwardly.

"Yeah, I'm free Friday if that works?" Pete nodded and they fell back into that silence.

--------

After school Pete really had to use the bathroom. He decided that he'd meet up with Patrick after he relived himself. Walking into the bathroom the three fuck heads known as Tre Cool, Bille Joe Armstrong, and Mike Dirnt were there and they glared him down.

"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" Bille Joe circled him like a vulture.

"Another faggot i suppose?" Tre responded with.

"another faggot indeed."

"What do you want?" Pete said casually not phased by their ignorance.

Well as it turns out Mike didn't like that answer. And that is how Pete got a black eye, and how Mike got hit in the balls. Billie Joe sat and watched and Tre pushed Pete down. Pete popped up and with a sucker punch he knocked Tre to the floor. Billie Joe hoped up and fought back as well as the other two ding bats. And they walked out of the bathroom baring bloody noses and slight concussion for Tre. Pete was a little beat up but not too bad.

Patrick had been looking all over for Pete. He couldn't find him anywhere. It was when he realized that the poor kid was wearing eyeliner that he knew where to go. He walked towards the bathroom hopping that Pete was hurt too bad. Instead he found a beat Tre Cool, Billie Joe Armstrong and mike Dirnt walking out of the bathroom. Patrick rushed thinking the worst.

"Pete?" He asked cautiously.

"Give me a second 'Trick." was the response he received.

Pete walked out of a stall with a black eye, so bruises and a bloody nose.

"What happened? Are you okay? How do i need to kill?" Patrick panicked seeing his friend hurt.

"I'm fine. I took care of it don't worry." Pete placed his hands on Patricks shoulders and the two stood like that for a moment before Pete decided he was hungry and taking Patrick out to eat.
