the boy with the blue shoes

part 2

i walked into school still in pain since yesterday but that wasn't gonna stop me from acting as if everything is great. i sat in my seat and then someone walked in with mr bell. mr bell and my form teacher talked for a bit and then mr bell cleared his throat. "ladies and gentlemen i would like to introduce amelia to you all" he said as amelia smiled, she looked really posh. "hi everyone" she began and i just couldn't hold  my laughter in, her voice was way too squeaky "hi everyone" i mocked her and everyone started laughing. "mills, isolation now" mr bell said as i stood up and took my bag and me and mr bell walked to isolation together.

"what was that about" mr bell asked me when i sat down in isolation. "i'm sorry sir but have you no heard her voice" i laughed remembering her voice. "that is no way to treat a new pupil in our school" he basically shouted at me. "so, she better get used to it" i shrugged and it kinda hurt me a little. "you will treat her with respect and as if she is an equal" he yelled. "i'm not saying that i-" i was cut off by the bell ringing. mr bell sighed and pointed to the door "get to class, i don't wanna see you back here the day" i walked out the room and started heading to my next class.

it was break and i was already fed up. i went for a smoke with my friends. we usually all shared one or had a two between us. unless someone was ill then they got their own. i heard the bell ring and took one last puff before throwing away the cigarette. i let out the smoke and we all started walking to class, i had french.

i walked into french laughing with ash. we went and sat down, i had to sit right at the front, right in front of my teacher because he had moved me. i got out my jotter and slammed it on the table. "max, quiet please" mr oscar requested. i sat down and then turned around to speak with the guy behind me. he wasn't talking back and it got a bit boring.

"max comment vas-tu" mr oscar asked "suck my arse" everyone started laughing. "i think you would prefer to be in isolation then" he said "i don't care" i shrugged. "isolation now" he yelled and i collected my stuff and walked to isolation.

"max" mr bell exclaimed as he walked into the room. "yeah" i turned around and saw his angry face staring at me. "care to explain why you're here" he questioned whilst folding his arms. "i was misbehaving. isn't that obvious" i sarcastically said. he sighed and didn't say anything. suddenly he turns around and walks out the door, i didn't know what to do so i just sat there.

a few moments later mr german walked into the room, mr bell was right behind him. i stared at both of them until finally mr german spoke. "mills. now" he signalled for me to follow him, so i did.

we sat down in his office with some random i've never seen before. "max this is mr oscars brother" mr german pointed to the guy next to me. "he is here to help you" i looked him up and down "with what, i don't need help" i defended "well you see..." i stopped him from finishing his sentence "i don't need help" i furiously stood up and walked out the room "max" i could hear them called but i didn't listen. i just went back to isolation.

"max. what was that" mr bell asked walking into isolation with mr german following him. "i'm not special" i basically yelled turning around to look at them. "we're not saying you we" mr bell asked and i nodded "well yeah you are, you're saying i'm needed extra help innit" i said as mr german stood forward. "look max, we're just concerned about you" mr german explained "i don't need your charity" i argued back but mr german left the room and i didn't know why.

it was getting to the end of the day. i didn't like isolation but i wanted to stay here more than be at home. i was on my phone with the schools free wifi while mr bell was away doing something. i think mr bell had to go speak to some guy in gym who wasn't behaving. "max" mr bell exclaimed walking in and i immediately put my phone away. "sorry sir" i sarcastically said. "you shouldn't be on that" he asked "i said i'm sorry". "well why were you on it in the first place" he asked "checking something sir" i sighed and looked down a bit.

the end of the day bell rang and i could hear everyone rushing out of school. i stayed seated. "max, you can go" mr bell said standing up and opening the door. "max go" mr bell basically shouted right in my face. i stood up abruptly and kicked over my chair, grabbed my bag and walked out. "oi pick up that chair" he shouted down the hall after me. "you told me to leave" i shouted back and walked out the school laughing.

i walked home with ash who had nicely waited on me. we got to my house and i saw my dad in the living room window, i took a gulp and i think ash noticed. "you alright mate" he asked, i quickly nodded and started walking to my front door. "yo max" ash called and i turned around to see him throwing a little tin "for your" he kinda looked at the window and i got what he was saying so i nodded. i opened the door and walked in and went up the stairs.

i sat in my bedroom and got a text from ash, he asked if i wanted to go out to a restaurant with him and his family. i said sure and got ready. i went and told my dad "dad i'm going out with ash" he kinda nodded and i walked outside. ash's dads car was waiting there for me, i got in and was squished at the side, because ash had a little brother who had a baby seat cos he was only like 3. we got to the restaurant and all filed out the car. i was kinda hungry but was probably not gonna order much.

we had finished at the restaurant and got back into the car. i was stuck next to his little brother now. they pulled up at my house "thanks" i said as i got out the car. i watched the car drive away and i went into my house.

"hey dad i'm back" i called as my dad came through with a beer bottle, looking so mad. "you" he said pointing to me and walking towards me. i wanted to run but my legs were frozen...
