"Mom, why do I have to go to this new school?" I asked as I sat at the table.
"Because you need an education, and because I said so. I'm not going to let you be like your father and drop out." She said serving me my breakfast. I sighed.
"Why couldn't I have lived with dad?" I asked eating some pancakes.
"Because, your father and I made the arrangement." She said. I sighed and continued to eat. "Do you want me to drive you?" She asked.
"Yeah." I said. She nodded.
"Alright, well do you remember where your classes are?" She asked.
"Yeah." I said finishing up my food.
"Are you going to find a girl to date?" She asked. Ew. Maybe I should have mentioned I was gay, but I can't tell her that. She'll disown me.
"No, mom." I said.
"Why not?" She asked.
"We've just moved here. I'm not a player." I said. Best way to lie is this way.
"Fine, but I do want you happy." She said.
"Then let me be with dad!" I said getting up from the table and grabbing my bag. She sighed.
"Tony!" She yelled as I walked out the door. I sighed and leaned on the car. She came out.
"Sorry, I crossed the line." I said.
"Yeah, you did. Get in. We have to get going." She said. I sighed and got in on the passenger side. She started the car and we were off to the school.

I walked in with my brother and our friend Jaime.
"So I heard there's suppose to be a new kid." Jaime said.
"Yeah, his names Tony. He should be here soon." Vic said.
"Dude, you got anything to say?" Jaime asked me.
"What would there be to say?" I asked.
"Well, after your break up with Pete, maybe you could get to know this guy and you know go out or something." He said.
"Look, I appreciate the valiant effort in this guys, but seriously. We had just broken up. And I wanna be single for a while." I said opening my locker.
"Come on. He could be a step up from Pete." He said. I sighed.
"Jaime, just stop okay?" I asked. I heard everyone start to whisper. "New kids here." I said under my breath. I saw him walking looking at his schedule. He was seriously cute.
"He IS cute." Vic said.
"Hey now. You have me." Kellin said walking up to us. Vic chuckled.
"Of course I do." He said. They pecked each other's lips.
"Guys, I thought we had a rule. No affection in front of me." Jaime said. I chuckled. The bell rang.
"I'll catch ya later." I said and started walking to my homeroom. "Here goes hell." I said.

As I was walking to homeroom all the girls were gushing over me. I am flattered and all, but not straight here. I saw this tall kid walk over and sit beside me. He just nodded at me. I sighed. I guess I wasn't gonna make no friends here.
"Hey, I'm Mike." The kid said.
"Tony." I said. We shook hands.
"So why did you move to San Diego?" He asked.
"Parents got divorced." I said simply. He nodded and took his notebook out.
"Ew the hot new kid is sitting next to the stoner. Totally not attractive anymore." Some girl said.
"Taylor, why don't you go shove your foot up your ass?" Mike asked. She turned to us.
"Because unlike you Mike, I can talk all I want and you know that." She said. I rolled my eyes. "Oh and newbie you don't wanna be seen with the stoner kids. Total wreckage of reputation." She said.
"I'll take my chances." I said and went back to writing.
"So, you got a nickname?" Mike asked. I looked at him.
"A lot of people call me Turtle." I said.
"Why?" He asked.
"It used to be my favorite animal growing up." I said. He nodded.

So far I survived half a day without getting bullied. Thank god I can hide from people. I walked into the lunch line and waited to get my food. I got my lunch tray and got my food. I paid and looked for a place to sit. I found an empty seat and sat down. I felt someone pour their food on me.
"What the actual fuck?!" I yelled standing up. I turned to see some blonde headed kid.
"Stay away from my boyfriend!" He yelled and started beating the shit out of me.
"Pete! Leave him alone!" I heard Mike yell. The whole cafeteria went silent. I held onto my ribs. The Pete guy backed off quickly. "If you ever touch him again, I will murder you." He said. Pete ran off. Him and his friend helped me up.
"Uh thanks." I said. He nodded. Everyone broke out into whispers. Well today has been a hell of a day.
"Are you able to walk?" The guy on my other side asked.
"Uh i don't think so." I said.
"Vic, get him to the nurses office." Mike said. The shorter boy nodded and grabbed my bag and helped me out the cafeteria.
"I'm Vic. I'm Mike's older brother." He said.
"I'm Tony. Wait, you're the older sibling?" I asked.
"Yeah, it's shocking I know." He said. We got to the nurses office and she stood up.
"Oh my. Boy what happened?" She asked.
"Uh Pete had an episode and took it out on him. He hurt him badly. He can't walk." Vic said.
"Alright, set him on the bed easily." She said. He did as she said and I laid down. "Off to class boy." She said to Vic. He nodded and left. "What's your name kid?" She asked.
"Tony." I said.
"Well Tony. You need a hospital." She said. I sighed. She went to her phone and started dialing.
So much for not being bullied here.
