September 1st, 1989

Jack sat at the bus stop quietly writing down on his diary.

Dear Diary: I believe I'm a good person. You know, I think that there's good in everyone but-"

He got up once the bright yellow bus came into ear shot. He stood up looking down going on the bus still writing.

"Here we are! First day of senior year! And.. I look around at all the kids I've known all my life and I ask myself- What happened?"

He looked up as he wrote closing the book trying to cover himself with the hoodie he was wearing a bit better. As he pushed up his glasses his classmates began to talk.

"FREAK! SLUT! BURNOUT! BUG EYES! POSER! LARD-ASS"

They yelled as he quietly passed. Jack quickly took a seat sighing as he continued to write. "We were so tiny, happy and shiny. Playing tag and getting chased"

"FREAK! SLUT! LOSER! SHORTBUS!"

He looked at the girl who was wearing a skirt and shirt. As she walked by she suddenly jumped then looked back at the jock who just slapped her ass. She looked around for a seat and Jack smiled gently at her. "Ugh fuck you freak! Oh Jess!' she smiled going to her friend. He sighed and shrugged putting his bag beside his seat. "Singing and clapping, laughing and napping. Baking cookies eating paste"

"BULL-DYKE! STUCK UP! HUNCHBACK!"

Getting off he walked though the school doors watching everybody around him. "Then we got bigger, that was the trigger line the Huns invading Rome!" he bumped into a boy with bright blue hair "Oh sorry!"

As he closed his locker he sighed looking away "Welcome to my school! This ain't no high school! This is the thunder dome... " he began walking to his class "Hold your breath and count the days we're graduating soon"

"WHITE TRASH"

He walked into his classroom "Collage will be paradise if I'm not dead by June!" He said to his favorite teacher and sat down on his desk. He looked out the window at the school garden full of beautiful flowers near the end of his class. "But I know, I know life can be beautiful. I pray, I pray for a better way"

He looked at the students getting up seeing them all as the kindergarten children they all once we're bright and happy. "If we changed back then.. We can change again" he smiled holding all his books "We can be beautiful.."

Soon one of the students got pushed down by a tall guy with curly hair and a sports jacket bringing Jack back to the real world. "Just not today"

He ran over to the boy who was picking up his glasses "Hey are you okay?" he asked gently putting his hand on the others back. The geek looked at Jack an instantly moved from him "Ew get away nerd!" Jacks past happy face drooped "Oh okay.. "

"FREAK, SLUT, CRIPPLE, HOMO, HOMO, HOMO"

He sighed walking to the lunch room looking around "Things will get better.. As soon as my letter come from Harvard, Duke or brown. Away from this coma, take my diploma then I can blow this town" muttering the last part walking into the lunch room getting in line.

He looked around and smiled letting his imagination get the best of him. "Dream of Ivy colored walls and smoky French cafes.."

The boy with bright blue hair cut in front of Jack as he was not moving forward in the line. "watch it!" he growled.
