It's Complicated

Monday's Dilemma

Jay POV

I woke up in my bed. I didn't want to wake up, or even move for that matter.

"JAY! GET UP NOW! YOU ARE GOING TO BE LATE!!!" Ed screamed.

"YOU CANNOT MAKE ME GO!!!" I yelled back.

"DON'T MAKE ME PULL YOU OUT OF THAT BED AND DRAG YOU TO SCHOOL! IT WILL NOT BE A FUN TIME FOR YOU AFTER!" Ed Screamed back.

"YOU COULDN'T DO ANYTHING TO ME! I HAVE APPOINTMENTS ALL MONTH AFTER SCHOOL UNTIL I GO TO BED!!!" I yelled back as I sat up from my bed and put on my clothes.

I dragged myself out of bed and grabbed my backpack and lunch. My Mom was waiting for me at the door.

"Are you ready to go?" She asked annoyed.

She was either annoyed with me or my Father.

"Yep." I mumbled as I got into the front seat of our truck.

I looked out the window until we arrived.

"Have a good day, Jason. You are going home with Mrs.Smith and her kids today." Edna said as she unlocked the door.

"I thought I had an appointment today after school?" I asked as I looked at her.

"You have been under so much stress lately. I cancelled this months appointments so that you could have time to be with your friends." Edna said as I got put of the car.

"Thanks Mom! I love you." I told her as I walked up the steps.

"I love you too." She said as she drove up.

When I entered the building, everyone was staring at me. Then they all started pointing and laughing.

I ran to my locker and put my things away. I then got up and ran to Mrs.Brookes classroom.

I sat in my seat and put my head down on my desk so that people wouldn't talk to me. Of course, Mrs.Brooke sat down and was talking to me.

"Are you alright, Jason?" She asked me as she placed a hand on my shoulder.

"Yeah, I am just really tired, that is all." I lied.

It was at this moment that Zane and Nya both walked in. I groaned and then put my head back down on the table.

Mrs.Brooke sighed before going back to her desk.

"Are you okay, Jay?" Nya whispered to me as she rubbed circles on my back.

"I don't want to talk about it." I mumbled to her as she continued to rub my back.

"We will talk about it with my brother on the way to my house this afternoon." Nya told me as she left her hand on my back.

I stayed silent for the rest of the day. That was when English came with Mrs.Smith.

"Can I talk to you in the hallway, Jay?" Mrs.Smith asked me as she came over.

"Of course." I told her as I got up.

I ignored Zane and Nya's questioning gaze.

"I heard about what the kids were saying about you this morning." Mrs.Smith told me as she put a hand on my shoulder.

"Do you have any idea who started this?" She asked me.

"Yes."My voice croaked as I felt the tears coming out of my face.

"Who sweetheart?" She asked me.

"Morro and Nadakhan."I sobbed as she pulled me into a hug.

"Hey, its going to be okay. Tell me everything." She said.

I told her everything. I was sobbing through the entire thing. I hoped that she could understand what all I was telling her.

"Why don't we go into the classroom. You can sit up with me as we both grade papers, because I am not going to give you the packet I know that you will finish in 3 minutes anyway.

"Okay." I mumbled to her as I dried my tears and followed her back into the classroom.

I pulled up a chair and started grading the papers that she handed me.

I looked outside to see that the once shining sun turned into grey clouds with lightning flashing out of them.
