I'm Not Okay (Dorbyn)

Seven

"Seavey there's a call for you!" The man yells out. Daniel's head snaps up and he stands from his table, which he was sitting alone at. He walks through the rows of quiet teens until he reaches the phone. He takes it from the man and puts it up to his ear.

"Hello?" he asks.

"Daniel?" He hears Jonah ask. He smiles.

"Jo oh my god, I feel like it's been years since we talked."He says with a huge smile. He can practically feel the smile on Jonah's face.

" I know I know, but how are things at the camp?" He asks. Daniel sits down, stretching the cord slightly. He sighs.

"They're okay. I mean I got the youngest counselor and he seems cool but I've only known him for less than a week." Daniel says. Jonah sighs in frustration.

"How old is he?"  Jonah asks, worridly. Daniel giggles.

"Why feeling jealous?" He asks. Jonah stammer before replying.

"I-I-I just don't know, no, I'm not jealous. I just want to know how old he is." He says matter of factly. Daniel giggles again.

"He's about twenty." He says. "But enough about me I want to know how you're doing." There is silence before Jonah speaks in quick words.

"I don't have time to say anything I have to go it's time to go outside, but I love you and I will call you back as soon as possible okay I promise." Daniel's face drops.

"Oh okay... I love-" Jonah hung up the phone leaving a high note dial tone. Daniel puts the phone back and makes his way back to his table. There is now someone sitting at it. It's a brunnete boy with an earing in. He was looking down so Daniel couldn't see his face, but he could see a slight beard on his pale skin. He was poking at the food with his left hand with had a pronimant shark tattoo on his wrist. Daniel sat down across from him, getting his attention. He looks up and the first thing Daniel notices is his eyes. They were dark brown with little specs of green throughout them. The boys smiles at Daniel.

"I'm sorry, I didn't realize anyone was still sitting here." His voice was higher than Daniel had imagined. Daniel somehow knew he could trust this boy. So he smiles back. "My names Conner." Conner says.

"Daniel." He holds out a hand and Conner accepts it. "So what class do you have after this?" Daniel asks. Conner takes a bite of his food.

"Anger management." He says. Daniel smiles.

"Really? Me too." He says. The two laugh at nothing in particular. Daniel could already tell this was the beginning of a great friendship.

"Hey new guy!"  One of the inmates yelled. The prison was currently outside for exercise but few people were actually doing anything. Jonah was sweating in his jumpsuit as he turned around to see another younger guy in the middle of a group of people. He rolls his eyes.

"What Gray?" He asks, not trying to piss him off. Not that he was intimidated in the least, he just didn't feel like fighting. Gray gets up off the bleachers and strides over to Jonah. His short black hair falls into his face as he stands behind Jonah. He smirks as Jonah stands up.

"Now that is no way to talk to the person who is helping you." He says. Jonah raises an eyebrow.

"And how the hell are you helping me?" He asks. Gray smirks even more.

"Well I heard you talking to your boyfriend earlier. So by not telling everyone that you're gay, you have a less likely chance of being raped." He says. "Or do you bottom and miss having a dick up your ass because I can tell everyone." The guys behind him chuckle. Jonah rolls his eyes again.  Gray grabs him by the throat and pushes him into the wall. Jonah grunts in pain as he gasps for breath. Gray grabs his jaw so that Jonah has to look into his eyes. "Don't roll your eyes at me you little faggot." He spits. Jonah spits in his face and is dropped. He crawls under the bleachers and watches as Gray and his gang are taken back to their cells for the day. Jonah pants and presses a finger to his neck where a bruise was already forming. He leans back on the wall and closes his eyes, still trying to catch his breath.
