Truth hurts

Chapter 2

I sat on my bathroom floor with a pit of dread in my stomach. Today was school and I was hoping that it would be better than last year which was only full of pity and rumours. I think the worst one was that I shoved her in front of the car because I was a sadistic b***h.

Standing up I looked in the mirror at my face. Determinedly I put on a smile and surveyed my uniform. I live in England so that's why I wear uniform by the way haha. Pulling my sleeves down a little further to hide my scars, old and new, I turned to walk down the stairs and out the door.

My mum came out of the kitchen to say goodbye and handed me a pack of plasters "Just in case". She knows I cut and wants to help but right now she just wants to be here for me and be the shoulder to cry on if needed. My parents are both happy together and I love it though I know not everyone is as fortunate as me.

Trudging down the road to the train station I look around and see people walking towards the station as well. I would like to join them but they are the popular kids so I plug in my earphones and listen to A Drop In The Ocean by Jon Pope who is awesome by the way.

Upon arriving at school I creep down the corridor avoiding the horny teenagers basically having sex against the lockers and go to the music room. When I shut that door, everything becomes very still and quiet as the music department is soundproofed. Shrugging off my blazer I sit down and start to play Einaudi, one of my favourite modern composers.

I start to ad lib and change the chords and series of the song until it feels like I'm flying with the music flowing through me. It is after a while that I realise someone is in the room with me and I turn around to find myself eye to eye with a set of ice blue eyes. Startled I step back only to trip over the piano stall. Reaching out the boy grabs my arm and pulls me upright.

By looking at him I guess he's about my age but I don't really know anymore. He states at me for a while and goes "I know that song what was it?" A bit taken aback I gape at him for a while before stuttering "I Giorni why?" he shrugged his shoulders and stood up. Bl**dy hell he's tall, I thought.

After a long awkward pause he coughs and says "I'm Simon by the way and I'm guessing your Nat? The office told me you might be in here." Ohhh that's who he was the new boy who I'm meant to look after, he smirks and looks pointedly at me "Nice undies by the way." He walks out and I'm left standing there shellshocked. This is going to be fun....
