Peace or Pieces (an AU)

The Peace Before the Fall: Part 2

Hey guys, I know that I haven't gotten many views yet. But, like Shakira, I won't give up, I won't give in, till I reach the end, and then ill start again. And yes, I went there.  this chapter gonna be a bit light, considering that the past two chapters have been kind of heavy. I do not own Voltron. Let us begin.

I woke up, thinking that it was just a dream. I had met the most beautiful boy yesterday, and yet, I feel like I have known him my entire life. We didn't speak, his father pulled him inside first. Then I looked at the cuts on my wrist. I grinned in excitement. It was real. Then my mother came in, surprised to see that I was already awake. She looked at me, confused to see me awake. "Good morning lanze. You should start getting ready. Don't forget to read the daily passage" she said as she started walking away. Then it hit me. It hit me like a bullet train. I could never be with him. I grabbed my knife and started walking towards the bathroom. Here we go again.

I got to school and went straight to the counselors office. I was not about to do this today. I had so much crap going on. My dad was coming back home, I gained a new crush that I could never date, and I knew that if I saw pidge, they would blow up at me. That is the last thing I need right now. "Are you having any suicidal thoughts or thoughts of self harm" she asked me. I told her no. "Go sit down until you can go back to class. I want you gone as soon as you get better" she said. She never really liked me. Her name was Ms. Hagar. I called her Ms. Hag. 

I went to second period. My favorite teacher taught that class. His name was Mr. Coran. He taught mechanics. He gives us these crazy projects. For example, yesterday we had to sketch a design of a giant, futuristic castle. He had a big mustache, crazy large ears, and all these markings on his face. He likes to tell kids that it's because he is an alien, which is an obvious lie. He is also the father of Allura, who also has those markings. Shiro has told me some interesting stories about his thing for tattoos and what those markings do to him. It is super uncomfortable, so I'll spare you the details.

10 minutes into class, Mr. Coran gave an announcement. "Students, may I have your attention? We have a new student joining us. This is Keith Kogane. He is our schools latest student, so please take it easy on him. And yes Lance, I mean you. Speaking of lance, he is your new class partner Keith. Lance, you have to get him caught up." he said. I didn't even respond to his joke or acknowledge his orders. I just sat there, blushing at Keith. I shook it off and invited him to sit next to me. Just because I can't date him, it doesn't mean I can't flirt with him. This might be fun after all.

"Hey, Keith, do you want to hang out together at lunch" I asked. "No, I prefer to eat in silence" he said. Wow, shut down hard. "Okay, well, if you change your mind, you can find me sitting on the floor in the northwest corner with a person that will most likely be wearing green. Them and a big dude wearing yellow" I said. He looked confused. "Oh, the person wearing green is transgender, they are biologically a girl, but they prefer to go by they. You'll get used to it". The bell rang a few minutes later. I grabbed him by the hand and led him toward where my friends sit during lunch. He had so many scabs on his hands, but they were in long lines. I figured they were just accidental cuts. "Let go of me!" he said, throwing my hands off of him. It was only a split second, but it was long enough. I saw the cuts on his wrists. I understood why I felt like I had known him all my life. While we may have had different personalities, we were one in the same. "Keith, don't clip your wings" I yelled after him.

So, tell me what you think of this chapter. I will also take plot requests for other stories. Oh yeah, I lied. This was a heavy chapter. HAHAHA. I'm evil in the best way possible. :)
