A Toothpick For a Prick

Hunt

I woke up and yawned, almost regretting getting up, I took the blanket off and looked at the damage. I noticed a big nasty bruise on the right of my rib cage and bruises scattered across my chest, arms and legs. I sorefully got up and looked around for my phone. I threw it somewhere when I finished my homework. After a few minutes of looking I found it under my backpack and laughed at the texts Tay has sent me but one caught my eye. 

'DUDE, RUMOR HAS IT THERES THIS FUCKING BEAUTIFUL NEW KID!!'

I huffed and stood up going to the bathroom to shower. I looked at myself and sighed, average 6'3, gay, 18 year old. Tan-ish skin, brown eyes, not that I like to brag but a decent build, and my only 2 distinctive features, a nose that looks like it's been broken and dark wavy hair that goes down to my chin. I sighed for what I believed was the third time today and got in the damn shower.

At about 7:50 I was ready. Probably the only one who gets the long sleeves and pants for the school uniform. I somehow avoided my dad and brother getting to my car trying not to touch anything in this dumb Texas heat. I threw all my shit in the back then quickly brushed out my hair and grabbed a fat chunk of hair on the top putting it into a ponytail in the back. I nodded at myself in the rear view mirror knowing Tay will fix it at school.

On the way to Tays house I put a toothpick in my mouth and just chewed on it. Not enough to make it break of course, I'm not that stressed, yet. I texted her when I got there and she ran outside and I noticed she dyed her hair for the fourth time this month, she went with black. She hopped in the car and threw her stuff in the back with mine, I was quick to shoot her a complement.

"I like the hair, very lesbian." I laughed and ruffled her short hair backing out of the driveway.

"Oh shut it Hunt." She pushed away my hand but I could tell she was smiling, and that was our morning routine.

One of us would be the first to compliment the other, exchange a few words, then jam out on the way to school. She was the only one who knew what my family life was like and was always happy to make me come over. After I came out my family got super mad at me and basically abandoned me, yeah they feed my and stuff but they don't care if I live of die. Dad and my brother even use me as a punching bag sometimes. I let out a long sigh.

"Wanna talk about it later?" Tay said almost always knowing what I was thinking about and I just nodded in response

We got to school about 10 minutes early and I went to go sit down laughing as Tay tried to keep up. She went right to fixing my hair and I relaxed at the familiar feeling. Everything was calm for about two minutes until I saw a group walk up to the school crowding this poor new kid, then I saw them and I felt the toothpick in my mouth snap in half. He was legit gorgeous. He looked like he was supposed to look black but he had patches of color missing in different places the biggest one I could see is that it took up about half his face and turned some of his hair almost white.

We made eye contact for a split second and the white half of his face has a blue eye and I was just froze for a hot minute. Tay pat my shoulder and I was taken back to reality.

"Told ya he was beautiful." She said smirking at me and I just spat out my broken toothpick pieces and grabbed a new one.

"Drop dead gorgeous." And I put the new toothpick in my mouth.

AN!!
