Dream or Reality

Chapter 6

Alex had stormed over and interrupted the conversation I was having with Jamie. After learning that Jamie wants to try to stop the morons bullying me and making my life a living hell, I felt like I could trust him more and maybe he might actually want to be my friend. However, I don't know if I'll be able to keep my promise, I made with him seeing as it sometimes helps me deal with everything, but I will do my best. Jamie was now out of sight and Alex turned his attention towards me. I went to run off, but he quickly got in my way. "What have I told you?" Alex shouted.

"What?"

"I told you to stay away from that boy. I told you not to trust him and look what happened at lunch in front of everyone."

"I don't care what you say. You're not in charge of me."

"When Mel isn't here I am in charge." He always thinks he's the boss of everyone and tries to control everything but can never take any responsibility when things go wrong. He tries to be in charge but can't be bothered to look after me. "Not of me you're not. You may be related to me but to me you're just some guy that lives with me. You will never be my big brother. Also, Jamie didn't make Nicole pour her milkshake over me but in actual fact is the only one trying to stop the constant bullying."

"He is friends with them, and they have probably got him to get close to you and get into your house so they can set up a massive prank."

"They have you to get into the house or do you not remember what you and your stupid friends do all the time at home like last night for example." Alex said nothing and just rolled his eyes and huffed. "The photo Matt sent to Melissa of me, Jamie deleted it from her phone so I trust him way more than I will ever trust you. I have known you my whole life and Jamie for a few days and he's done more nice things for me than you ever have. I'm so fed up of you Alex. You never act like my brother. You never stand up for me. You're never there for me. You're not my big brother and never will be." I stormed off down the hall. Was I a little bit too harsh then? No. Everything, I said was true. Big brothers are supposed to protect their younger siblings, but he never does. He made me so angry. Why can't I have a normal family? A guardian that is actually around instead of getting drunk all the time and running off with every guy that she sees and a big brother that actually loves and cares for me. I felt like I was going to cry but I was stood in the middle of loads of people and it's best to keep your emotions hidden and show you're strong. My phone started to ring, and I saw it was Alex, so I let it go to voicemail. What else would he have to say? My phone beeped notifying me I had a voicemail from Alex. Should I listen to it or just delete it? I eventually decided to listen to it. I sat on a bench outside the front of the school where it was quieter. "Hey El, order some pizza for when I get home. I want a large ham and pineapple and Matt wants a large meat feast. It's just going to be me and him tonight so just get one large chips and a litre bottle of coke." The voicemail ended. Is he freaking kidding me? He acts like a massive jerk then expects me to do him a favour and doesn't say to order myself anything like what? I want to punch him in the face so hard.

I sat there for ten minutes trying to calm myself down before I go to my final lesson which I believe is art which is the worst lesson. I love art so much but my teacher, Miss Toogood, is the worst. She makes everyone leave the lesson late and if you spoke without permission then you would get an instant detention. The worst thing is that if you asked for help, she would scream at you and say you were stupid if you didn't get it the first time she explained then wouldn't even help you. "Hey Eggy Ellie or is it Milkshake Ellie now?" I looked up and saw Matt stood there smoking a fag and was strangely alone.

"Get lost Matt."

"I'd rather not."

"Then I'm off."

"Woah hold on." Before you run off, make sure you as for extra meat on my pizza. Also, you still have feathers in your hair," he said as he strutted off. Matt was just as bad as Alex. They both pick on me and then expect me to do stuff for them. They can get their own fricken pizza. I'm not their slave. I know for a fact I didn't have any feathers in my hair as I checked five times this morning, he's just trying to make me paranoid. Matt always thought he was all it because he was football captain and him and Alex were voted the hottest guys in school but in reality, he is an annoying, dumb douche that isn't going anywhere in life. I got up and headed to class.
