Curious Time.(boyxboy)

Chapter One.

It's finally here.

The day I've been dreading all summer...

The first day back to the hell hole I call High School!

Summer was interesting this year, I got to travel to a new sector in an exchange program and it was fantastic. Everyone wore matching fake smiles and preached love 24/7. I didn't get called out once on my lack of a moving clock, but maybe that's because I was a stranger and it would be rude. I'm not a stranger here. Everyone knows me. I'm the average target.

"Hey kid. Welcome back."

Shit.

"Leave me alone, Simon."

"Aw, now is that anyway to treat someone who's welcoming you home."

I wish his words weren't laced with so much sarcasm. I wish for once in his life, he would be quiet.

"Listen, I don't have time for this. I have to get my schedule."

"Wait, now! I just found you, how about we go have a little talk before you start your day."

That was the last thing I heard before I was hit unconscious. Little things would slip through. Like being repeatedly kicked in the ribs, laughing, and comments about how lonely I was going to be forever; the usual.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Shit. Is he dead?"

"Might as well be, not like he's got anything to look forward to."

"How can you say that?!"

Wait, what..?

"Oh my god! He's waking up!"

"What?"

Who the hell are they..?

"Hey, are you okay?"

God. I'm in pain.

Why is this chick asking if I'm okay?

She's kind of pretty; 5'4", curvy, long brown hair, tan, beautiful green eyes.

Wow.

And the guy, of course he's just standing there. A solid 5'9, matching features to the girl except lanky, and his hair is cut just above his eyes.

"Uhm, who are you?"

"Oh! I'm Kendall and this lump of no help is Kale. We're twins. Are you okay?"

"Why are you helping me?"

Kale? Why is he glaring at me so hard..?

"What do you mean? You got attacked! We thought you were dead!"

"I'm okay."

Now, I just have to get up and go home. If I can do that, I can heal up and maybe get to some classes tomorrow.

"Kendall, let's leave. He's fine. Look he's getting up."

IT SPEAKS!

"Don't be mean Kale! Do you need help getting up?"

"No, I'm okay. I'm just going to go home. Thanks for your help."

"But...are you sure? Here! give me your number so I can text you and make sure you get home safely!" "

Uhm."

"Kendall! Let's go. I don't have time for this."

"One minute. Such a negative Nancy. What's your name?"

Is this happening?

"M-my name is...uh...Carter."

"Nice to meet your acquaintance! Now, number!"

"O-okay."

And I did. I gave this girl my number and I got dirty looks from her brother.

I made it home and I collapsed onto my bed. I missed a day of school due to my excessive sleeping habits after a beating, but Kendall texted me non stop making sure I was okay. I can't believe it. Someone actually looking genuinely nice and caring. Amazing.
