Red and Blue

chapter 1 The beginning and the end (edited)

Have you ever felt like everyday is the same. Nothing's different no matter how hard you try.

I feel that everyday. Riding my bike down the same road. All I can think is, ' There's the same buildings, the same trees, and going to the same school.'

That's what I'm doing now, going to school with my only relief, ear buds and my ipod.

I look at the time, 7:58... "I'M GOING TO BE LATE!!!" I yell.

I peddle faster on my bike. ' I'm in trouble, this is going to be the second time this week.

While listening to music I try to call down. 'You'll be fine you'll only be late by a few minutes '. Even as I think that I peddle faster than before.

A few minutes pass, I see the school. I sigh I'm relief.

I get to the front of the school, and park my bike. I walk to the front and see the janiter. He looks at me, and he opens the door. " Boy, I have to do this way to many times." " I'm very sorry. " I thank him a few times and walk to class.

I'm walking to class. I feel nausea coming. ' I'll be fine, it's not a big deal'. As I walk, i put up my carefree front. I put a smile on my face. Put my hands behind my head.

As I get closer to the classroom door. I start feeling anxious. ' Calm down. Calm down. Calm down.'.

I'm at the classroom door. ' no one cares if you're late. Just act funny, and play it off'.

I go through the door. " Sorry I'm late teach. " I say In a carefree manner. I hear a few laugh, then I hear a sigh. " Simon this is the second time this week. Also that includes way more over the quarter. What's your excuse. "

I'm the inside I'm panicking. ' I can't let him know'. " Sorry teach, you know my bikes, well~ it's superrr old. It took me forever to fix that thing. " I say exaggerated, with a big smile. But then my teacher looks straight at me. It's like he can see what's underneath. I know he's not stupid, but the look i got from him scared me. It looks like he'll find out every secret, every lie...Which terrifies me to the core.

He then closed his eyes, and sighed. " after school come see me. "
" Aww, please I'm sorry. " I say with fake puppy dog eyes.

I hear a few classmates. " Oh no you've finally been busted. " With a few laughs.I reply, " come on don't be mean", I say with dejected eyes, and a pout.

I walk to my seat and sit down. Inside i feel nauseas. I'm panicking. To calm down, I look out the window. The window is a little open. I feel the chilly breeze, I'm starting to calm down.

There's a tree with a blue bird. A stare at the tree for awhile then I hear the bell, It's lunch time.

I hear my classmates getting in there groups. I quickly walk out the the class. I head up the roof for lunch.

I always go up to the roof for lunch. I can't afford school lunches everyday.

When I get there i just spend lunch there.

I think about my teacher, he has the standard dark brown hair with dark brown, almost black eyes. He's around twenty six from what I've heard. He has the standard short hair. Lots of girls gush about his face. He has a masculine, but young face. It's not overly manly or girly.

I sigh not exited for later.

The day goes on. At the end of school i head to homeroom.

These feelings are coming back.

I'm outside the door. I knock on the door i hear, "enter". I walk in the room.

"Hello teach", I say.

" Hello Simon, I'm informing you that today is your surprise home visit. "

I blank out. " Huh".

He answers back with. " A teacher can have 5 surprise home visits a year".

" W-what, why me. " I'm surprised.

He looks straight at me.

"There's something off about you. You come here late quite a bit. Your smiles, and laughs seem forced sometimes." He looks straight at me.

I look at him funny. " Oh your just imagining it, I'm fine"

He looks at me slyly " I never asked if you were fine or not. "

My eyes go wide, my breathing stops for a second.

" W-Well of course it's a natural thing to say. " I smile at him.

He answers, " we'll see when we get to your house. " he smiles back.

************************

I'm walking with my Mr. Krown ( people call him Mr.K).
To my house. My palms are sweaty, I feel sick. 'I don't want to go '.
I think.

My bikes on the side of me.

It's a tranquil silence.

I then see a little boy in the road. There's a truck coming. My heart stops.

I scream " MOVE OUT OF THE WAY!!!! ". I'm running to the boy.

I hear a scream " SIMON!!! " I ignore him and keep running.

I get to the little boy, and push him out of the way...

I'm in the air them, BAM. I feel all the air rush out of my lungs.

I see Mr.K near me.

There are people around, on there phones some with tears.

I smile the best I could.

I hear " Simon " There's tears in his eyes.

I feel myself slipping away.

" I-I-In m-my room, t-there's a shelf. I-in there is a journal. F-Find it b-bring it to the police. D-Don't let my parents stop you. " I cough.
" I'm sorry goodbye ". My eyes grow heavy. I see red and blue flashing lights. I hear " SIMON!! ". "Goodbye, I'm sorry it had to be like this." I say barely a whisper.

All I see is black.
