Hunter's POV
I closed my locker.
"I'm so proud of myself".
"Why"?
"Because I got an A on my poem".
"Good for you".
"Is that yours".
"Yep".
We headed to lunch. When we sat down out of nowhere, Christina grabbed my poem.
"This poem is good".
"Thanks".
"But mine is better", she said putting my poem down.
I laughed for the first time.
"You should laugh more, it's cute".
"Thanks".
Then someone poured their drink on my poem. Of course it's Sam.
"Oops, my bad, sorry pal", Sam said putting his hand on my shoulder.
I pushed him away from us.
"Woah, Hunter is trying to be a big boy".
"Get lost".
Sam walked away smiling.
I sat back down and looked at my soggy poem.
"Maybe we can dry it off".
"Nope, nothing's going to fix this".
"So what are you going to do"?
"I don't know".
In poetry class
"Since he didn't go on Friday, Hunter is going to present his poem".
I went to the front of the class.
"Um...".
"Hunter do you have a poem"?
"He doesn't even have a paper because he's a bum"!
Everyone except for Christina laughed.
"Class settle down, Hunter you can-".
But I'm only human
And I bleed when I fall down
I'm only human
And I crash and I break down
Words in my head
Knives at my heart
You build me up
Then I fall apart
Cause I'm only human
"That was amazing, you get an A+".
After class
I ran after Christina.
"Hey why didn't you wait for me"?
"Just don't talk to me".
"What did I do"?
"Nothing".
"You don't want to be friends with me anymore because I'm a nothing"!
"I never SAID THAT"!
"If you don't want to be friends that's fine, I didn't need friends to begin with"!
Christina ran to the buses.
In Max's classroom
I sat on Max's desk.
"Hey Max".
"Hey kid".
"So all you do after school is paperwork"?
"Yep, I'll be right back".
Max's POV
I was walking to the printer when someone tapped on my shoulder.
"I told you this wasn't over".
Hunter's POV
I heard a thud.
"Max"?
My dad walked in looking anger. I grabbed the erasers and smashed them together spreading chalk in his eyes. While he was blinded, I ran into the hallway and saw Max on the floor.
"Max wake up".
I slapped him hard. He woke up.
"Why'd you slap me"?
"To wake you up now let's go".
I dragged him to his car and he drove us away.
Author's note
Sorry if the end is bad I should've ended it at Hunter and Christina's fight but this story is fun to write even though it's serious. I'll see you guys in the next chapter! Bye! :-D
