2Doc, a Time Bomb

Chapter 6

2D's POV

About a week had passed since the 'incident' in my bedroom with Murdoc. I had gotten over my sickness and returned to school but I hadn't seen him at all since that night.

Thank the stars I haven't seen him cause I've a feeling that he'll kill me if I ever even do as much as to look at him again. I think to myself whilst walking to my first class of the day.

I walk into the English room and sit down in my usual seat. I've been taking this class all year and I still don't know anybody thanks to Murdoc as people are too afraid of him to even befriend me cause they know how much he bully's me and they're afraid he'll do it to them too.

After what seems like forever the English teacher Ms. Rose walks into the class and behind her walks a girl I've never seen before.
Hmmm maybe she's new here? But then again I don't really know anyone so?

Ms. Rose speaks up, "Now class as you can see we have a new student joining us today, won't you introduce yourself?" She says motioning to the black haired girl.
"Oh yes of course! I'm Paula Cracker, just moved here from the other side of town" she says very confidently.

"Ok well Ms. Cracker you can take a seat next to um well next to Stu down there" Ms. Rose then pointed towards me and I felt my cheeks flush from having the attention of the class turned to me.

I was confused as to why the girl should have to sit beside me, there were plenty of other seats in the class. I liked Ms. Rose though because she was different to all the other teachers in the school as they only liked me for my good grades where as she didn't care about grades she just liked if the student had an interest in the subject. This logic of hers also confused me a lot as Murdoc and Ms. Rose got on really well and he most definitely has no interest in English. Let me also just point out that none of the teachers like Murdoc at all, they all think he's an awful student. The same went for Murdoc, he hated all the teachers except for her.

I looked up from my desk to see the new girl walking towards me. Damn she's actually pretty hot once she gets closer to you.

"You're Stu right?" She asks.
"Eh yeah that's me, but ya can call me 2-D if ya like"
"Ok then 2D it is" she says smiling.

We talked for the whole lesson and I told her about how I got my black eyes and how I get bullied and what type of stuff I'm interested in like music and zombie films etc.
She told me some stuff about herself, she doesn't seem to like the same things as me she's more into pop music and romantic films but that's okay cause she was really nice to me and that's a rare thing these days. Maybe we could become friends?

I heard the bell ring.
"Hey 2-D what's your number? I'll text you later"
I put my number in her phone and she walks out of the classroom waving goodbye to me.
I really hope she does text me later.

I grab my blue school bag and walk out of the classroom, I must have been sitting there thinking about Paula for longer than I thought as the hallway was now empty. Ugh I'm gonna be late for me class now.
I started to walk faster down the corridor but my feet came to a sudden stop when I heard his voice.

He was shouting. Loudly. I peered my head around the corner of one of the pillars in the hallway to see Murdoc and Emilio. They both looked angry. I hid my head back around the corner and tried to listen to what they were saying.

E: "Murdoc I'm not gonna ask you again! Where the fuck were you the past week!?"
M: "Emilio I already bloody told you that there was a family emergency that I had to go to!"
E: "Bullshit! I saw Hannibal the other day and asked him where you were and he said he hadn't seen you in days either!"
M: "Look for the love of Satan I just had some stuff to take care of!"
E: "Oh well then tell me what the hell was so important that you had to take care of that was more important than showing up to your boyfriend's birthday party! Or even texting him a bloody "Happy Birthday"! Huh?!"

I watched as Murdoc's face dropped at the mention of Emilio's birthday. The look on his face said that he had completely forgotten about it.

M: "Fuck I'm sorry I missed it, I was just so caught up in stuff, I'll make it up to you!"
E: "No. Fuck you Murdoc, you won't even tell me where you bloody were! I bet you were banging someone else! Not like it'd be the first time that has happened"

Murdoc's cheated on him before. Damn how didn't I hear about this?

M: "Oh sod off! You're always bloody making a big deal out of nothing! I wasn't bloody banging someone else and you know what maybe you should think about why the fuck it is I cheat on you, you're bloody lousy in bed!"

This made me smile ever so slightly but that smile didn't last long because just as Murdoc had said those words my phone let out a loud message notification.

"The fuck was that?" Murdoc said.

I froze. Closed my eyes. He's going to kill me if he sees me. No, I need to make a run for it if I want to live. Before I could even move my body I opened my eyes to see him standing right in front of me.

"Dents" he breathed.
