the boy with the blue shoes

part 22

my dad came bursting into my room, i watched him walked up to me and grab my arm pulling me out of bed. my dad dragged me into the bathroom, he always says it was the easiest place to clean up. he took off his belt and slowly wrapped it around his hand, he left just enough room so it could wack me without him trying too hard. he raised it up and...

"max" mr lorrenston yelled, i jumped a little and looked up at him, he was covering my tech class. "can you step outside for a second please, i need a word" i nodded and walked outside. after a few seconds he came out "are you okay" he asked "i only ask because when you were asleep" he raised an eyebrow but i know he wasn't concerned about that. "you kept jumping" i nodded. "yeah it's just some things that are in my past" he nodded. "well i'm always here" i nodded and he opened the door back up for me. "thanks" i smiled and walked back in.

at lunch, i was hanging out with my friends, we kept throwing tristin's pasta at birds just for the fun of it. nobody actually hit any birds. some guy walked up to me and pushed me, he was probably about year 11. "what the fuck" i almost yelled. "stay away from my sister" he said. "i don't even know your sister" i replied. he then punched my face. i got really mad and went to go for him but his friends held me back. he punched my gut as hard as he could, it coughed and spat out blood. he then smacked my face a few more times before the teachers came out. they separated the boys from me and i fell to the ground. "just you wait mills" whatever his name was called as him and his friends were dragged into the school. i was helped the the nurses office and was cleaned up.

after about half an hour mr lorrenston walked in, he laughed a little as i was sitting there with an ice pack covering half my face. "usually your the one up the stairs getting yelled at" he laughed a little, i just smiled slightly. "anyway, i wanted to come down and make sure that you're okay and not like dead" we both laughed a little. "nah sir i didn't die, only partly" i laughed and he just giggled a little. "i wanted to talk to you anyway" i nodded. "i know you've actually been trying in your classes, and i'm very proud" he smiled and i nodded. "yeah, surprising i haven't got a detention this week" i smiled. "i know i managed to get your suspension revoked and i have been working with your teachers to make sure you work to the best of your ability in class" he said, going to leave the room. "i hope you feel better" he smiled before leaving.

it was the end of the day, i had spent the whole two last period sleeping in the nurses office, it was funny but at least i got to sleep. i was about halfway home and had to go through some woods, it didn't bother me because it was literally wood. what could wood do. i heard a crunch from behind me and turned around to see nobody. i turned back around whilst starting to walk and i bumped into someone, i looked up about to apologise before i realised it was the guy from lunch. "i said just you wait" he smirked.
