the next day at school, josh avoided the bench boy.
actually, scrap that.
he avoided everyone.
even his own best friends. he'd have to admit that ever since the whole dallon-with-brendon-and-ryan-who-were-also-together thing had started he had begun to feel like the fourth wheel, and he usually felt left out on everything. but he was happy for his friends. of course.
josh got through the whole day without saying a word.
mostly because he ran from classroom to another and ate lunch in a toilet cubicle. one that had its walls covered in beautiful profanities and artistic visions of genitalia, of course.
no, he hadn't gotten the satisfaction he had wanted, but it was okay. it was better than getting beat up by guys older than him, who also seemed to have gotten some actual use out of puberty, unlike josh. the only thing he had gotten was a terrifying sleeping schedule and smelling armpits. how very tempting.
he was pretty sure that not even a skunk would want to date him. let alone one of the most feared guys from his school.
not that josh wanted to date that idiot either.
why would he? all that punk did was get in trouble and rebel against every single thing he was told.
and josh didn't like that in the slightest. he liked people who were proper and treated others with respect and didn't break into other people's properties at two a.m. on a wednesday night with their friends and call their break-in victims sweethearts.
no, he liked people who were nice. who did nice things like, um, help their parents. and stuff like that. y'know, the general nice people stuff.
but then again, he also didn't like seeing broken people and just go on with his life without trying to help. because he was a nice person.
and because he knew how things could get like even if nothing's drastically wrong.
i swear to god i'll help that jerk, even if, and when it most likely, will be thelast thing i ever do, because i, unlike him, am a nice, caring, loving person
