"Patton! Patton wake up! It's school day!"

Uncle Dick woke me up again that morning. It had been 2 days since that incident in the lab. So he figured out it would be a good time for me to go to school again that day."

"It's school day! You are almost late! So take the bus now, and shut up!"

"But Uncle Dick, what about breakfa-"

SLAP!

That bastard slapped me, almost making me bleed. He told me that there was no time for breakfast, and that I should go there now if I didn't want to "cry harder". You know, good old loving parent stuff.

Willingly but nevertheless, I got on the bus. The dystopian atmosphere of that goddamn place always bothered me. Maybe it was the fact that I always knew I was just waiting for someone to poke me or to make me trip with their leg when trying to find a seat. I always knew that there was always someone, just waiting to do that. Someone would.

As always, I found Margarot Jane, I decided to sit next her. Something didn't feel right that day. No, it wasn't the almost factual possibility of someone to fuck with me, it was the fact that something just felt... wrong that day. 

"You know, Uncle Dick said that I was lucky, that a girl even if slightly, got interested in me. Do you... agree with that?"

"No, I don't. Patton, something you have to understand is that, just because someone says something about you, doesn't mean it's true. It doesn't matter if it is your uncle, or even your family. That's what you need to understand."

"I DO understand that. However, I have always hated the fact that people like him are even permitted to take care of children. I-I just CAN'T fathom it!"

"Shut up Patton! Miss ya momma and daddy huh?"

"Shut up, Jack."

Later that day, after being almost humiliated on the bus, I went to school. After hours of miserable math classes and the teacher assigning homework, lunch time finall came.

"I just fucking hate this school. Every fucking day I am always trapped with these bunch of idio-"

"You don't need to."

"What, who the fuck is there?"

I was kind of a little scared, of course. I sayed that out-loud, so everyone in the room looked at me like a freak.

"Seems like Patton is talking with his imaginary friend again!"

Everyone laughed at me, but I was too busy with figuring out why a mysterious voice was inside my head to be bothered with them.

"I will explain that later, now, watch out."

"Wha-"

I dodged Jack's punch instantly, like he guided me to do that. I didn't know what the hell was going on but I needed to. After that, I grabbed his hand and twisted his wrist, almost breaking it."

"WHAT THE H-"

CRACK!

"WHAT THE FUCK PATTON!"

I left Jack on the floor, grabbing its wrist with a painful expression. Everyone looked at me in that moment, even MJ. She seemed terrifyed at that moment. 

"We need to get out of here."

I immediatly obeyed the voice of whatever the hell was talking to me, and I left the school that day.
