Chapter 1: Myself

As I walk into my classroom as usual with my one strap bookbag and my ring on my thumb with my yellow and purple rubber bracelet, I caught eyes on me. I walk straight to my seat before the teacher began it's lesson. As usual the teacher doesn't notice me and just gives up before she hands out assignments

"This is due tommorow. You can do it now or talk." She says before pulling out her phone

I put on my black earbuds and play Pacify Her by Melanie Martinez. I put my head down before I hear somebody sit next to me. I look up to my left and see this cute guy with glasses and skinny jeans. I crossed my legs at the thoughts of sexual fantasies before he took out his notebook and began to draw.

Bell rings

I walk to my next class which was a pain in my ass. I hated study skills, but since my grades have been slacking I am required to be in this hell. I quickly finish listening to my music at the door before shoving my phone and earbuds in my pocket. I walk and sit at my assigned seat before Ms. Howard(yes this is all real) walks up to my desk and says

"Good morning."

I say hi before digging in my bag and looking for a pencil or pen. She puts her hands on her hips before saying

"Nicholas I don't appreciate your negativity." She says before walking back to her desk

I raised a eyebrow and didn't care. Some other kid had his phone out and apparently he was immune to her wrath of boring lectures. I start on her assignment which were multiple choice and had to fo with organization skills and timesaving tips. Finishing the assignment quickly, I gave it to her before she says

"What? Are you serious? You rely on memory. No! You keep studying until the day of the test."

I shrug and said

"Well I disagree."

She slams the paper on the desk and points at me before saying

"Now look here. I don't know what has gotten into you, but don't you EVER shrug at me and stop arguing with me."

I give her a smile before I walk back to my desk. I grab my homework from algebra before she asks

"What is that?"

I purposefully ignore her before she gets up from her desk and snatches my homework from my desk. She looks at it before saying

"This is NOT for this class. Study."

I shrug before she says

"Nicholas. Study now."

I cross my arms before she gets in my face. I politely say

"Can you back away from me? You are making me uncomfortable."

She backs away only ti say

"I am the teacher. You listen to me."

I shrug before continuing my math work. Then she grabs it and balls it up before putting it in the traahcan. I look up and say

"Whats your deal?"

She crosses her arms and says

"This is my classroom. You do as I say or you can get out."

I grab my bag and walk out before she grabs my arm and grips it tightly. I look at her and say

"Remove your hand."

She doesn't remove her hand before I exhale and say

"Look you stupid teacher. I only have you for this semester. I tried to be nice but evidently americans are too stubborn to know that. Take your bloody hands off me you stupid bloke and leave me the hell alone."

As I said that, she was shocked. I left the classroom as the bell rung.

Bell rings

I walk upstairs before going to biology. Three guys walk in with their pants sagging.

"They got cake. Fuck me please." I mumbled under my breath.

I feel a arm touching mine before seeing the same guy. The feeling was intense only lasting a second beforr we stared at eachother until somebody yelled

"Fags!"

The teacher looks behind and says

"It's a great day." His phrase

I sit and complete the warm.up before the bell rings for lunch. I wait as everybody walks out before I walk to the bathroom. I lean against the wall before exhaling and closing my eyes. Tears fell down my face as I punched the cement glazed white wall. I sit slouch down to the dirty red tile floor before I feel somebody hand on my shoulder. I open my eyes and see the guy.

"What do you want?" I ask saddened and angrily

He sits next to me before saying

"I was just checking if you were okay."

I look up and say

"Aren't you that guy from liturature?"

He nods before saying

"You never really noticed me."

I nod before wiping my tears off my face and just sitting there. We both stood in silence before the bell rung
