Solby : The Bully

Not so Alone

I am left alone in the bathroom once again, the words we spoke running through my head over and over again.

I don't know what's wrong with me, why would I yell at him?

Brennen is my best friend, and I know he wouldn't do anything to get me upset on purpose.

I leave the bathroom shortly after Brennen does, looking down the hall to make sure it was empty.

When I see that it is, I race down the hall towards my class that I was supposed to go to originally.

Then, the bell rang. Never mind I guess.

I turn back in the opposite direction, and start to speed walk to my last class before anything happens.

The kids in the hall give me weird glances, full of rather hate or pity. Both things I can't stand.

I get to my final class before most of the others arrived, and I got to sit in my seat without worries.

Corey is in this class with me, though I don't see him here right now. Most likely still on his way, which is fine.

Is Corey still mad at me? I hope not, it's bad enough having Brennen mad at me.

The bell rings, and Corey enters the room seconds the later, the teacher not minding that he is a few seconds late.

Corey gives me a cold look, and sits at his desk in front of mine. I frown, loosing my hope that Corey might not be mad.

The class went by fast, and I left before I knew it, going straight to the front doors. I look forward, and saw Jake and Sam by the front doors, talking.

Oh, great.

My guilt is coming to haunt me. Seeing them just reminds me of all the times I have hurt them. I regret all of it, I really do.

I approach them, and before I can speak Jake starts to back up, pulling Sam along with him.

"I'm not here to hurt you. I'm here to apologise..and thank you." I say. Jake seems a little surprised by this, not reasponding, and Sam gives me a smile. The first time I saw him smile, and it made my stomach get all tied up.

"You're welcome." Sam says quietly, looking down at the floor. Jake remands quiet, giving me a look of despise and fear. I don't blame him.

"I regret ever hurting you, I never saw how much it hurt people until it happened to me." I start. "But tell me, why did you help me? After everything..." Sam looks at me, then to Jake, then back at me.

"No one desearves to be treated like that. No matter who they are." Sam says. Jake nods, agreeing with him.

I simply smile, not understanding how he sees things like that. This boy has gone through some shit, I know that. So how can he see people in such a light?

"Well, me and Jake have to go. Goodbye, Colby." Sam says, and leaves the building.

Hey readers! This is a really short chapter, I know. I am actually grounded at my moms house right now, so I don't have much time to right. This is a prewritten chapter I have, I will try and update soon!
