On My Mind..

4

Do you ever feel sick when you eat then walk or run? Yeah, same. I think I ate to much. I'm walking home now and it's about seven pm. The sun was just on the horizon. I left my phone at home so I really don't know the time.
"Isn't that the nerd?," I hear a voice say across the street.
My eyes widen. I know that voice.. it's one of Tyler's friends. I look over to see Tyler and two of his friends staring at me. Tyler chuckles.
"Why yes it is," Tyler says and drops his cigarette on the ground then stepping on it.
I look away and walk a little faster, I'm only two blocks from my house. They start crossing the street. I see a alley up ahead so I quickly head in there. Maybe I can escape that way? Nope. Never mind.
I see a brick wall in front of me about half way through. Damn. I turn to see Tyler and his friends blocking the way. Pure terror must of been on my face causing him to smirk. God, I hate his smirk.
"So I seen you talk to my girl today.. what did I say about that?," Tyler says slowly.
I curse quietly.
"N-not too but I had to.. Miss L assigned partners..," I say quickly.
He shakes his head and chuckles.
"Your not aloud to talk to my girl," he says and walks closer while signalling to his friends to follow.
I back up a bit. Not much farther to go.. there's a wall behind me.
Bravely I say, "she isn't yours.. you not good enough for her, nobody is.. you treat her badly so I'm surprised she hasn't left you yet!."
Everybody is silent for a few seconds. Tyler looks at his friends and nods. They walk up to me and one punches me in the stomach as the other one holds me. I grunt in pain and struggle against them.
"L-let go of me!," I shout.
I manage to get my arm away from the guy behind me and swing around and punch him in the face. He stumbles back and I throw my elbow around again and hit the other one in the throat.
I turn to run but I run into Tyler. He punches me in the stomach really hard and I fall to my knees, his friends drag me up and hold me while Tyler stands in front of me.
"How did you expect that to end nerd?."
I spit in his face. I know that's disgusting but he deserved it.
He growls and hits me in the face. My head snaps to the side at impact and I groan. I can already feel the bruising.
"S-screw you," I mumble and close my eyes.
I feel blood run down the side of my face. He goes to punch me again but he was thrown away from me. I open my eyes again to see someone but they were blurry because I was dizzy. Tyler's friends let go of me and I assume they went to fight the stranger. I fell to the ground.
I hear yells of pain coming from Tyler and his friends. I heard another yell of pain but this voice sounded different so I assume it's the stranger.
"You better watch your back!," I hear Tyler yell before his friends and him leave.
The stranger sighed and walked over to me.
"You okay?," he asks.
I nod but I was lying. My vision comes back and I see a guy around my age I would guess. Wait I have seen him around. He's another guy in my class who isn't part of Tyler's group. He's popular kinda too but he stays to his group of actual friends.
He helps me up.
"I'll help you get home," he says and leads me out of the alley.
"Thank y-you..," I say after a couple moments of silence.
He nods.
"Your welcome."
We walk until we are outside my house. I look at the driveway. Good, my moms not home yet.
"I'm sorry," he says.
I look at him confused.
"What?," I ask.
"I'm sorry for not helping you before.. I've been ignoring it for a year," he says again.
"It's not your fault and I'm grateful for you helping me," I assure him.
He nods.
"I'm Ashton.. you?," I hold my hand out for him to shake.
He takes my hand and shakes it, "jake."
I nod and smile.
"I'll see you tomorrow, hopefully?..," jake looks back at me with a hopeful glint in his eyes.
I nod.
"Okay."
"And take care of those wounds," jake says as he starts walking away.
"Will do!," I shout after him.
I smile to myself and walk inside. Maybe, just maybe, I made a friend.
