That smile he shows just for me

Chapter five

Saturday's are lonely. I stay cooped up in my room, alone. Or I go skateboarding around town. Today I want to stay home.
I lay in bed, looking through Instagram. I am in love with photography. I love taking pictures of anything and everything.
I got a notification that someone followed me. Clicking on their profile, I notice it's Lukas. I follow him back and creepily stalk his page. He's a football player, so lots of pics like that. Why'd he follow me, I'm not sure.
I put my phone away and go downstairs. It's already two so I'm pretty hungry. Then I think. Maybe I shouldn't eat yet. I can probably handon a little while longer. Shed off a few pounds.
So instead I sit on the couch and watch tv.

Monday rolls around and I am not looking forward to another week of school. But of course, I get dressed and skate off anyways.
"Later" Justin says. I wave dismissively at him.
Every day is the same. I go to school, to all my classes, get homework, get picked on, hide out in the bathroom at lunch, then go home. But today, today was a bit different. I'm hiding out in the bathroom during lunch, when no one other than Lukas walks in. "Oh hey!" He greets with that goofy smile.
"Hi."
"What're you doing sitting all alone in here?"
"Don't exactly like the lunchroom."
Then he sits beside me. "You aren't saving this seat for anyone right?" He jokes.
I smile at that, shaking my head.
"Good. Then I'll sit here."
Every time I'm around this boy, I feel content. "You take really good photos by the way." He says out of nowhere.
I look at him quizzically, then he says "on your insta. Sorry I'm such a stalker."
"Oh no it's ok. Thank you."
"Would you maybe want to hang out some time?" He asks me.
"Uhm yeah."
"Cool give me your phone."
I hand it to him and he calls himself. "There now I have your number. I'll text you later." He says, getting up and leaving the bathroom as the bell rings.
Smiling to myself, I walk to my next class.

I thought that I would be free from mike today but luck is never on my side.
Last period rolls around and I decided to ditch. Math is not my strong suit. I went to the back of the school and out into the courtyard to sit until schools over. I have a shit ton of homework. That's when Mike shows up. "What are you doing ditching fairy?" He says walking up to me.
"Oh you know, enjoying the fall weather." I slyly remark.
"Watch your mouth bitch." He pulls me up by my backpack straps.
"I hate you so much." He says but continues staring at me.
Then he leans in. Something I was not expecting. He tries to kiss me but I don't kiss back, instantly pushing him away.
He seems to understand what he just did as he pushes me to the ground.
That's when he started kicking me.
On and on and on. Until eventually he stops, and walks away.
I lay there for a bit, looking at the sky. My entire body is on fire.
The bell rings and I decide I should probably get going now before the crowd of students rushes through.
Skating home was a pain.
