UNTOLD

I can't be bullied

I can't be someone's punching bag

I can't be hurt

I fight because I had to.

And knowing all this made me pity Zack .He would get hurt for trying to escape whatever his demomds were.

He couldn't hurt me because I did it to myself. I was already broken and if he was not careful I was going to take him down with me.

It was already lunch period and zack had just entered the cafeteria. He was definately going to try and mess with me. I was stuck between letting him be or breaking one or two fingers of his.

He reached my table with his idiotic goons and sat. I tried my best to ignore their presence and continued swallowing the disgusting food.I was not enjoying their presence. They did not scare me. I was irritated so much that I just wanted to rip my hair out of my skull.

"Brave fag,"I heard Zack's voice but I could sense him smirking.I wanted to beat it out of his face. Control flury.

As much as I repeated the word control in my head. I was exploding with irritation .

"Fag sure, but brave I'm not so sure, "I said. I was not making any sense I was sure of it.

How I knew this? I didn't understand it myself.

Zack took my plate off the table and poured the contents from my plate on my head.I wanted to be angry but I couldn't .I was beyond furious .

Without meaning to, I started to chuckle . I looked crazy infront of everyone. I moved closer to where Zack was and that's when I decided to make him pay. I was sure a little snitch would head the principle and open their stupid little talking hall after what I was about to do.

"Zack dearest would you be a darling and lend me your shirt.You did this after all"I said looking at him waiting for his outburst .

"Yeah that ain't gonna happen, you see what you're failing to see is I don't like your gay ass and their is nothing you can do"While he talked he kept on poking me and once he finished talking he pushed me.

"You see honeyboo I don't give a flying fuck whether you like me or not, your issues with me being gay carry it to your grave. What I need is for you to give me your shirt since your dumbass decided to spoil mine"I looked at him with challenging eyes.I was not ready to back down from a fight. It had been long since I fought something other than life.

He was close to punching me when I realized that I was indeed in a fight. I caught his fist mid air and twisted his arm. I wanted to stop, really, but I didn't want to get hurt. I had been hurt enough.

He lifted his other hand but I pushed him to the floor. He hoisted himself up really up probably embarrassed that I had done that to  him. He was going to get himself hurt.

"You two in my office"

Ofcourse. Snitches.

The principal pointed at me and Zack. His so called friends had been long gone. Typical.

I had never been in trouble since my arrival two years ago. I was angry at Zack because he got me the unwanted attention. I hated the fact that all he cares was burn me more like I didn't know how much being gay cost me. I hated Zack for wanting to bring tge old me back. I hated that I reacted to his insult. I hated that I was Eric. I really did .

At the principal's office I was not nervous of the outcome but I was not okay with the situation I was put in. All I did was stand up for myself.

"A fight in my school? "Principal Meyers began and damn he was angry. "So what happened. You know what, I don't care. Detention for one week both of you"he said looking between Zack and I like he was waiting for some kind of reaction.

Seeing as we were giving him the 'whatever' look irritated him. Then he looked at me with dissapointment in his eyes. "Flury, I can't lie am utterly dissapointed in you "

I left the office and went to class knowing that I was late. Zack was on my heels and I was so tempted to turn and break his leg or better yet, put a scar on his pretty face.

Pretty face. I got myself laughing out loud because while I was angry and hated Zack ,I couldn't help myself from remembering his good looks.

"So not only are you an idiot but also insane"Zack muttered in a low voice but I was sure I was meant to hear it.

"You know I don't understand why you can't just leave me alone"

"So you never smile or talk around people but alone you laugh? Tell me did you escape from a mental hospital or  are you just stupid"

"Maybe I did or maybe I didn't but my grades bet to differ. How about you do me a favour and piss off. I'm gay but I didn't ask you to be my boyfriend now did I?"

I entered my next class smiling internally satisfied with whatever had just happened .
