Let Us Learn How To Love Together

Dreaded First Day

~Trigger Warning!~

Ryan's POV~

I face the double doors of the highschool I will begin attending as of today. Clutching the straps of my bookbag, I take a deep breath as I push through the doors. I am instantly greeted by a large banner that read, "Welcome To Lakewood High, Where Knowledge Becomes Power" I sigh as I walk up to the door that said, "Office". I hesitantly open the door and peak my head in. I see this blonde headed girl with glasses typing away at a computer. I clear my throat and she looks up at me.

"Yes?"

I walk in and shut the door behind me.

"I am here for my schedule"

"What's your name?"

"Ryan... Ryan Joseph"

She types at her computer and prints up what I assume is my schedule, she hands me the schedule and a map of the school. She smiled shyly at me.

"Why transfer in mid November, alittle late don't you think?"

I roughly opened the door and glared at her.

"That's none of your damn buisness."

I stormed out and started heading to my first class, which was Physics. I entered the room and sat down as the bell rang. The teacher cleared her throat and the class got quiet. Please don't single me out, please don't single me out, Please Don't Single...

"Alright class, we have a new student, Ryan, please stand up"

Fuck!

I slowly stand up glaring at her the whole time.I fiddle with the sleeves on my flannel and grit my teeth. I see people whispering to each other and I give them a death glare. The teacher smiled warmly at me.

"Good morning Ryan, Tell us something about yourself that your proud of."

"Well, I haven't killed anybody yet so, yeah."

There were a few snickers and the teacher glared at them.

"Well that's good to hear, you can have a seat now."

I sit down and spend the whole class staring out the window.

~Time Skip~

My last class of the day came, the one I dreaded the whole day. I walk into the boys locker room and head to the back where the teacher is, he assinged me a locker and told me to change.

"I don't have any gym clothes."

"That's ok, we have lots of extras in that bin over there"

He points to a large bin in the corner and look at him, my anxiety rising.

"Don't worry, they're all clean, we wash the used ones daily"

He smiles and stare back at his phone. I slowly walk over to the bin. I begin to feel dizzy and I was breathing hard. I quickly took a deep breath and began to dig through the bin. It didn't have any long sleeved shirts or pants, just my luck. I grab a short sleeved black shirt and the longest pair of shorts that I could find, which only came to above my knees. I go the the bathroom stall and get dressed. Once I'm changed I look at my arms and legs and cringe, There are so many bruises, some big ones, some small ones, Old and new ones. I unlock the stall and slowly push the door open. I sigh in relief when I see that everyone already left, but instantly tense up once i realize that I have to go out into the gym...around people... Damn it all! I notice the teacher in the locker room staring at me as I walk out. I head into the gym at first no one look which was good. But as I walked in it started out with one person who saw, then he nudged someone else, then one after the other everyone noticed and soon the gym teacher noticed and he told everyone to return to their warm up laps. He walked up to me and whispered in my ear.

"Lets talk in the hallway"

My heart was going a mile a minute as I walked out into the hall. Once we were out he looked at me and I swear his eyes were staring into my very soul. He looked me over and coughed, pretending to look down the hall.

"Ryan, I would like for you to go to the nurse and get an order to wear long sleeves, your br... you'll distract everyone..."

I pulled out a pass and filled it out then gave it to me, avoiding eye contact. I grabbed it, went back to the locker room, changed and grabbed all my things and rushed off to the nurses office. I felt tears gather at my eyes and I quickly wiped them away. I bursted into the nurses office startling the man sitting at the desk. He had the greyest eyes I've ever seen, they were so...mysterious...

"Can I help you?"

I looked down at the floor suddenly feeling embarrassed.

"Uhm... I... I was sent here...from gym."

I could feel him staring at me.

"Oh? What for?"

I snapped my head up and glared.

"I don't fucking know!"

He looked stunned for a moment then regained his composure.

"Can I see your pass?"

I walked over to him, still glaring and handed him my pass. He looked at it, I can visibly see his expression soften.

"Can you follow me behind this curtain so that I can take a look?"

I nodded then lowered my head, following him to the curtain. He pulled it closed and turned away, faceing away from me.

"Please take your shirt off"

I played with the hem of my shirt before unbuttoning it and slipping it off.

"ok..."

I looked away as he turned around to face me. I squeezed my eyes shut and bit my bottom lip. He walked over to me and gently ran his fingers on one of the newer ones on my shoulder. I flinched and yanked away from him and looked at him with wide eyes. Again tears started to well up but I binked them away. He sighed and handed me my shirt.

"Put your shirt on and come out to the room next to my desk."

He walked out and I quickly put my shirt back on and buttoned it back up before walking to the room he told me to go to. He gestured at a chair accros from him which I hesitantly sat in. I fiddled with my fingers under the table. Why am I acting so shy? What is wrong with me?

"I know we just met, and I know you probably won't trust me, but I would like for you to try to trust me and tell me what happened."

"Why the fuck should I trust you? You don't know anything! and I got these because I like to skate board and I'm not that good at it so I'm always falling..."

He sighed, and wrote a pass for me to be able to wear my long sleeved clothes in gym. He handed it to me and walked out and went behind the desk and started to write something else. I went out to the desk and he handed me a pass, as well as a note. I grabbed them and quickly walked out, heading to the nearest bathroom and locking myself in the farthest corner. I pulled out the note and read it. I saw a phone number as well as a little note.

Call me if you ever need anything or any help.

I groaned and slipped it back into my pocket. I felt a small smile creep on my face before quickly shaking it off. The bell rang signaling the end of the school day. I grabbed all my stuff and headed out. I walked out of the school and started to walk "home". I pulled the note out and re-read it multiple times until I found myself outside my house. I quickly put it back into my pocket and took a deep breath before walking back into hell.
