Sonic POV
Going through emotional abuse is one thing, but having to endure physical abuse is just about enough. I am Sonic Masaaki. I've been through so much hell throughout my years of high school going on four so far. I just want to live my life like a normal teenage boy, just like it was before my mother passed. I've been bullied before, but having to deal with my father's abuse is too much on my plate. I was walking through the halls of the school as I greeted the people I knew. I don't have that many friends but I tend to get around. Everyone that didn't know about me was nice to me. Except for one group of people…Just speaking of them makes me cringe.
"Sonic, just the guy I wanted to see." Just the guy I didn't want to see. His name was Seifer. He was the leader of the clique also know as the football team. He pushed me along towards the gym area where they trained indoors. What was this suppose to be? Another beating? Running more errands? There was a new face in there. He was holding a dumbbell in his right hand. His silver tresses covered most of his face and he was well built. My heart nearly skipped a beat. It was my high school crush. What was he doing here? I can't like someone who is just going to hurt me once the team converts him. I was harshly shoved forward which caught the guy's attention.
"Go on, introduce yourself to our newest member. He just decided to join the team." He looked at me so curiously. I was speechless after looking into his eyes. I looked away quickly before I was shoved again.
"Introduce yourself!" Seifer yelled and I cringed again.
"Stop being so rough, it's okay if he doesn't want to introduce himself." Surprisingly enough he was so calm the whole time. Something was different about him. I can feel it.
"Go on then. We're done with you for now." I was pushed out the gym with the door shutting behind me. Now that that was over, I can go to my last class and try to leave early. I enjoyed having science once in a while especially chemistry. Lunch was almost over and I was the only one in the class with the teacher.
"Dr. Eggman." I greeted before taking a seat. He nodded but kept his gaze at our class textbook. The bell rang throughout the school, signaling the ending of lunch session. The classroom started to fill with more students leaving one seat beside me empty. I wonder who that could be.
"Whew, I made it." I heard before the late bell rang. I looked up from the desk and saw that same guy that was in the gym.
"Please take your seat Riku." Dr. Eggman grumpily said. I watched him carefully scan the room until he looked my direction and walked over.
"Hey." He took the seat beside me and I froze.
"H-Hi" I responded flipping through my textbook. I'll admit I'm a bit nervous. Was he doing this on purpose or was he trying to be nice? I closed my eyes and breathed in his scent. He smells so good. Gracious, now I'm just being creepy. Calm down Sonic, don't overreact in the presence of your crush. Oh who am I kidding? I don't have a chance with him, not in million years!
"Is everything alright?" Oh my goodness he's talking to me, speak Sonic! I opened my eyes and shook my head.
"I'm fine, just thinking to myself." He's so concerned. None of the others acted this way towards me.
"Sonic since you're too busy socializing, read page 674-679. Dammit, this hasn't happened to me in a while.
"Sorry." I heard him whisper.
"It's fine." I whispered back and began reading out loud. Class carried on like it normally did. There were those who actually paid attention, people falling asleep, texting under the desks, and then me who was daydreaming. It was the usually, except for the new mysterious guy sitting beside me. Whenever I look at him, he looks so serene. He's so hard to read. I can't tell what he's thinking although I'm afraid to even know. But whenever he looks at me my heart beats off the charts. How else am I supposed to calm down next to him? The bell rang for the final time of the day. I was happy school was over. I have to leave before Seifer finds me or anyone amongst his team. But the new guy is with them. Is he really going to tell them I left early? I looked over to him and saw him packing his things away. I passed by him quickly to exit the room.
"Hey," the new guy stopped me. Is he going to make me stay? What am I going to do? I have to go home or else...
"See you tomorrow?" I paused.
"Y-Yeah." I rushed out the door. Without looking back I headed out the school building. Now that school was out of the way, I have to deal with what I'm going home to. Like that's any better. I just hope tonight won't be as bad as the nights before.
