I was on my way to school trying to get lost in my music. I hummed to the tune of 'this is home' by cavetown when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked behind me taking off my gray head phones. Nick stands looking down at me smiling. I blushed.
"Hey keath! Want to h-hang?"
I looked at him and nodded. We walked to school and he stayed close to me. I saw hid hand near mine and thought of me holding it. My hand twitched but stayed still. I just keepped walking. I felt his eyes on me and I looked up. He smiled and grabbed my hand. I now looked like a tomato on a fire truck. I looked down and smiled. We walked in to school and everyone stared. I thought he was going to let got but no. We walked down to our lockers (that are close to each other's) and got our things. No one laughed or said anything.
Later that day I saw Nick and waved. He walked up to me and grabbed my hand, "come on boo" he said walking to the courtyard with me behind him. I walked out and saw everyone out there. I blushed at Nick and he stepped away. I looked at him and he mouthed 'sorry' as a couple of freshman's he knew dumped glue, feathers, and pink paint on me. I look up shocked and hear the roar of laughter. I stood frozen and looking at the crowd till I saw Danny. He laughed at me. I ran down the center of the crowd and jumped the fence running to god knows where. I finally stopped at the side of a highway. I looked at my phone. It was 3pm. I looked around and saw the race track. I opened my DMs and texted Mike to come to the race track NOW! and after a few minutes I heard someone call my name.
"Keath" I heard a man say
I look over and see a man about 20 with a blue flannel and jeans on. I waved as he walked over. By now most the feathers had fallen off and i had pulled off most the glue. But my hair and clothes where pink. He looked at me and asked what happened. I told him the story and he hugged me. I felt so safe in his arms. I smiled and hugged back. We hung out till 5 then he drove me home. We said goodbye and I went inside. Lullaby was on the couch pasted out and her cat near by. I put them to bed and went to my mom. She was asleep, I went to kiss her forehead when I saw she wasn't breathing. I shook her and said her name. Nothing. I began to cry and pulled her out of bed. She layed limp on the floor. Then I snapped.
"WHY ME?!! HUH? I GO THROUGH HELL EACH DAY AND THIS IS WHAT I GET!?" I went to the kitchen and grabbed a knife. I cried and held it shaking in my hand. It was dark but I knew what I was doing and where to cut. I smiled and cried knowing it was over. I heard the cat and looked over. I smiled.
