'Xenon the glass-eyefreak.' It was all written on the board. All I did was to look at it. Gunter's wolves planned it.
I stood up from my seat and walked in front of the board. I started to erase the writing on the board.
As soon as I finished erasing it all, I glanced at one of Gunter's pal's seat.
People in this school see me as weakling. A sickly disabled child. They thought that my father was unlucky to have a child like me. That is how they see me.
Ever since I was a kid, its always like this. I was avoided by many because they thought that I'm a disaster. A disaster to my father and a disaster to the people around me.
I quickly left the room as soon as I finished erasing all the writings on the board. I need to go home as soon as possible.
My father will cross me if I'm still not home.

"What? You don't have any money? Then who'll feed us now, huh?" Gunter grabbed the collar of his pal.
"I—I'm sorry, Gunter--" Gunter didn't hold back and punched his pal in the face. I pity him.
"You lost your wallet, is that it?" Gunter gripped his collar.
I continued walking while playing with a wallet I got. Who's the glass freak now?
"What a tacky wallet." i muttered and threw it in the trash. I looked at the poster at the post near the trash.
"LOOKING FOR TUTOR. 20-30 YEARS OLD. CONTACT XXXX-XX-XXX FOR THE APPLICATION. -XAVIER AQUIRO." He's at it again. I immediately crumpled that poster and threw it away to the place where it should be. In the trash.
I took my phone from my pocket which is vibrating that time and looked who's the caller. It's father. I was surprised, really.
["You are late. Where are you?"] A dim voice surprised me. I began to tremble as I hear that voice.
"Father, I'm on my way home." I immediately replied him with he nicest voice I had. Be a good son, Xenon.
["You better be, Xenon."] He utter and ended the call. I immediately wiped my sweat which is forming on my forehead. To be frank, my father didn't want me to have any acquaintances in school. He always had his eyes on me.
He can't even drink soda without looking at me.
Only Father can make me tremble. Only a devil like him can threat me like this. Only a psycho like him.
I went home as fast as I can and tuck myself in my bed. Not minding I'm still wearing my uniform.
"Xenon, are you home?~" I forced myself to close my eyes. I don't want to see him. I don't want to look at him.
I can hear large footstep and it is getting closer.
'Do not open your eyes. Never open them. Sleep, Xenon.' i thought. I can sense that he is staring at me right now.
"I know you're not asleep, son." There he is. He's doing it again. I was about to lose my breathe, but still I didn't open my eyes.
I didn't seem to hear any voice from him or footstep leaving the room but I was able to open my eyes..
But I was about to scream but I forced myself not to. He is right beside me. He's still wearing his office attire and he's grinning again while staring at me.
My mouth began to tremble. I regretted opening my eyes. I don't care if y'all call me gay, but I'm scared at the moment.
