My alarm went off and I groaned as I looked at the time. 6.30 it read. Ugh, why does school always have to start so early? I climbed out of bed and walked to my bathroom, which is attached to my bedroom. I look in the mirror and all that goes through my mind is that I look awful. See I didn't get any sleep because I was too nervous. I am getting my first tattoo today and I am really scared that it'll hurt really bad. My friend, Michael is coming with me and says there is nothing to be scared of and that it doesn't hurt that much. Is it weird not to trust your friend?

I got ready for school, wearing my skinny jeans and a Nirvana shirt. When I got downstairs, I grabbed an apple and went to the bus stop, waiting for it to drive me to school.

I walked through the doors and immediately got tackled by something green. I try and figure out what it is until I hear it scream "TODAY MY LITTLE BOY IS BECOMING A MAN!". Michael. I notice people staring at us and I quickly got him off of me and whispered to be quiet. He looked at me with big eyes and his best pout and I sighed. "Fine, but just don't do it in school, okay?" I said. He nodded and pulled me towards the backdoor.

He pulled me outside and started yelling again. "OMG I AM SO EXCITED!" is all that he says while jumping up and down. I hear the first bell ring, meaning we have exacly 5 minutes to walk to class otherwise you're late. I told Michael to be quiet again and dragged him inside. We split ways since we don't have first class together. In fact, I don't have any class together with him today. Great.

When I walked in the classroom I walked to my usual seat in the back of the class. People started pouring in, clattering with eachother about how they spent the weekend. No one really pays attention to me, because, well, why would they? I guess you could say I'm the outcast of this school. Not that I get bullied or something, they just don't pay much attention to me because they think I'm werid, since I don't talk to people other than Michael. That's why I needed him to get out of the building so he could scream about how excited he was that I am getting my tattoo today.

School passed by quickly today, which is weird because it's monday, but anyway Michael and I were walking towards my car to get to the tattooshop.

"Do you know what you're getting or not? I think you should get a little game controler, so we can be twins" Michael says enthiausiastic. I just nod, not really listening. Michael already has a few tattoos, a little game controler behind his ear, a couple of little stars on the inside of his arm, representing his little brother and sister who were taken away from him a couple of years ago.

"Hey, are you even listening?"Michael asked, a little offended.

"Uh.. What? Yeah, yeah I was listening" I quickly say. "Okay, what did I just say?" he asked.

"You asked me 'What did I just say'" I smirked. He rolled his eyes and gets in the passenger seat. I didn't even realize we were here already. I got in too and started to drive into town, following the directions Michael gave me.

"But as I was saying, you should get a game controler somewhere on that body of yours too, we would be twins" Michael says again proudly.

"Michael, I am not getting a game controler tattooed, I'm not as addicted to gaming as you are, which I am really grateful for" I say, shaking my head a little. He lets out a sigh and is quiet for the rest of the ride.

When we get there I see a little cute building in between these massive offices. We walk inside and I feel my stomach turn. Everywhere I look there are needles, people with lots and lots of tattoos, people who are pierced all over their body. It scares me, to be honest.

"We have an appointment, my friend here is getting his first tattoo" Michael tells the man behind the desk. He nods and sends me a smile.

"Alright, Let me see what I can do for you guys" the man said. He walks to the back and gets a piece of paper.

"So, what would you like to get tattooed, young man?" he asks.

"I-I would like t-to get a-a little g-g-guitar, please" I stutter. I always do that when I'm nervous. Michael noticed and sqeezed my shoulder, as if saying that it'll be alright.

"Okay, what about this?" the man says while showing me a sketch of the little guitar. I smile and nod at him. He smiles back and draws it on a small piece of paper?

"It's all done, now where would you like to be? he asks nicely again.

"Uhh.. Either on my back or my ankle, Michael what do you think?" I ask him.

"You should go for the ankle, I bet it looks really hot there" he says and winks. I blush and look down at my feet, fumbling with my hands.

"I would like to have it on my ankle please" I quietly say. He nods and leads me to a chair. I sit down and take my right shoe off. The man puts the piece of paper on my ankle and takes it off. The guitar is now drawn on my ankly in purple.

"Is this a good place?" he asks. I just nod, my nerves creeping up on me.

"Okay, now let me take a stool and we can get started" he says, flashing me a smile again. He walks away and Michael tries to get me to calm down.

"How are you feeling?" he askes, worry writen all over his face. Propably because I look as green as his hair.

"I feel like I'm going to throw up" I say. He looks at me with pity when the man returns with another guy following him.

"I'm sorry, I just got a call that my wife is giving birth, so I have to go but don't worry this man is going to take good care of you" the man from the desk said.

"Congratuliations on your child, sir!"Michael yells as the man was passing through the door. We both look into the direction of the new guy. He looks like he is our age, maybe a little older.

"Hiii, my name's Michael, and my friend over here, is Luke" Michael introduced the both of us.

"Hi, I'm Ashton, nice to meet you"

I have no idea, what to think of it, I hope it's good though :) Thank you for reading this and giving me a chance.
