Hope For The Hopeless (Cricky)

Chapter 1~

The sounds of Disengage by Suicide Silence blasting from my phone, stirred me from my sleep. I groaned and rolled over on my side, grabbing my phone to turn it off. "Five more minutes." I grumbled, putting my phone back down. The moment my head hit the pillow, my bedroom door opened. My little sister, Lily said "Get up, Ricky. You have school." I groaned and said "No. Sleep." Pulling my covers up over my head. "Mom said to get up. She said you need to take me to school." I pulled my covers off and said "I am not fucking taking you to school. Why don't you just take the bus?" She rolled her eyes and walked out.

I sighed and got out of bed. No use going back to sleep, now.

I slipped on some ripped black skinnies, a Slipknot shirt, and some black Vans. I went into the bathroom, pulled out my straightener, and plugged it in. I turned it on an waited for it to heat up, and decided to get to work while I wait. I ran a brush trough my tangled hair, brushed my teeth, and started doing my makeup. I applied an even amount of black eyeshadow, before moving onto eyeliner. I carefully drew it onto my eyes and by the time I was done with that, he straightener was ready to use. I brushed my hair again, before straightening my pitch black hair.

When I was satisfied with it, I unplugged it, put it away and, and grabbed my stuff for school. I stuffed my ear phones in my front pocket along with my phone, in there, and headed downstairs. I walked I the kitchen to see my mom talking to Lily, handing her a bowl of cereal, and my dad going through the fridge...I hate my sister. They spoil her to death and treat me like chopped liver. She's 16, and she needs to learn how to do shit on her own. I'm 17, but they treat her like royalty.

Dad turned to me and said "Good morning, Ricky." I gave him a simple nod, and grabbed a Monster from the fridge. My mom scoffed and said "Richard, pick something healthier for you. Those things are worse than cocaine." 'How would you know?' I asked in my mind. I just shook my head and said "I'm fine, mom...I better get going, Josh and Angelo is giving me a ride to school."

She said "But what about your sister?" I shrugged and asked "What about her? She can take the bus." Mom said "Ricky, we don't want her to ride the bus..Those things are awful. Besides, your father and I have to go to work." I rolled my eyes and said "No, you just don't want your little angel not to do anything on her own. She can't even make cereal by herself, that's fucking sad." "Hey, watch your mouth, young man!" I scoffed and said "It's true. If she really wants me to take her, she'll have to ride with me, Ange, and Josh." "Eww no, I don't wanna ride with your goth friends!" "Then there you go." A car horn coming from outside announced my salvation, and I said "I seriously gotta go. Don't wanna be late. Have fun finding a ride, sis. Later." and without another word, I walked out of the house, slamming the door shut behind me.

I looked and saw Angelo's black van sitting in the driveway. Ange was sitting in the drivers seat, while Josh who's nickname is Balz, was sitting in the passengers seat. We call him Balz, because his last name is literally Balz. He gets a lot of shit because of it, but he doesn't give a shit. We all get bullied for being different...When the fuck did being different, become a problem? I just shook it out of my mind and walked towards the car, slinging my backpack over my shoulder.

"Bout damn time, Olsen. Did your straightener break or something?" Balz asked, rolling his window down. I rolled my eyes and said "No, my parents were trying to make me take Lily to school. I offered her to ride with us cause they wouldn't let her ride the bus, but she said now because you guys are "Goth"." They laughed and Balz said "Ha, her ride with us? Man, fuck that. She's so annoying." I nodded in agreement and climbed in the back.

"Yeah well, you've never had to live with her for 17 years." They nodded and he said "Good point. Come on Ange, let's go! I'm fucking starving!" Ange scrunched his nose up and said "Eww, you want cafeteria food? That shit is so full of chemicals, fat and a bunch of other shit." Balz rolled his eyes and said "I don't care , come on!" I chuckled and Ange turned the car on. He pulled out of the driveway, and we headed off to Hell.
