Lance has always hated high school. Too much work to do and too much pressure to get good grades and a girlfriend, which he doesn't have either. His grades are average, Bs and Cs, but that's not enough for him. He wants to make his family proud of him and get all As. And for that girlfriend, he tries to charm girls with his amazing looks and great pickup lines but it never seems to work. They all turn away and run off or walk away. But what his family doesn't know is that he is bi and that sometimes he would also flirt with boys. The school bullies have picked up on this and this has made Lance a target.
Lances POV
I walk down the hall, cautiously until I hear, "Hey faggot!" the bully said with plessure. I tried to ignore him "Don't ignore me bitch!" I hear kids giggling. All of a sudden, I was pulled back and fell on the floor. "Are you deaf?" He said, "Apparently you are since I called you twice!" He kicked my bag and walked off laughing. Everyone else in the halls were laughing except 2 people who were looking in shock. I stood up and fixed my hair and bag before walking off to the bathroom to really fix myself up.
As soon as I turn the hall, I start running. I don't look at anyone, I just run to the bathroom. When I find the boys restroom, I swing the backpack from my shoulders onto the floor and unzip it. 'Thank god nobody else is in here' I whisper to myself. I shuffle the stuff in my bag around until I find my small brush. I look into the mirror and realize tears were starting to run down my face. I quickly ran into a stall and grabbed some toilet paper to wipe my tears. I hear laughing in the hallway and run into a stall and lock it. The laughing gets louder, and louder, then it starts to turn into chatter as it fades away. I let out a sigh. Nobody really knows this is a bathroom because the door is a classroom door. I unlock the door and step out of the stall.
I finally get the courage to actually fix myself up.
'Disappointment, failure, useless punching bag, if you keep this up, you won't ever be happy. I know what would make you happy.'
I hear that voice again. I first heard it last year. It was quiet and I could make it go away easily. But now, I tried making it go away, it only got louder.
'They don't like you, you have no friends to help you, you are helpless, you are the punching bag for these kids, you can't stand up for yourself. But I can make you happy./
No. Stop it. I can stand up to myself! I might not have friends, b-but I can, I-I c-can. I break out in tears and sobs.
'you are sad, you are a disappointment, they don't like you, but I do, I can help you become happy again.'
I rub my eyes and wash my face. Not now. Class is about to start and I can't be seen like this or like that.
When I finished, the bell rang and I hurried to class. Period 1, science class.
