A Boy Named Arthur

A Bad Decision

Henry POV🚬

It was Sophomore year that I met Felix. I had just moved out of my grandparent's house in England. My parents forced me to go to school in America. Originally I was supposed to go to a Catholic school, but things didn't go too well and I ended up in a random high school. I missed my friends and my family back in the UK.

On the first day of school, I tried to get everything out of the way. I wasn't gonna let some random douchebag out me like before. I was gonna make that year my bitch. I walked into the first period with a smirk on my face which was largely dismissed by the uninterested crowd of students. The rest of the day didn't go any better especially the last period.

'Art with Mr. Douglass - 7th period'

So I headed to Mr. Douglass's Classroom and saw another student introducing themselves. I was a bit surprised that I wasn't the only new kid.

"Hello, my name is Luke. I just transferred from Australia and I look forward to this year."🦋

A kid that was a little taller and broader than me was talking in a monotone voice in front of a class that couldn't give two shits about what was happening. I couldn't help but laugh at the scene.

"Well if it isn't Mr. Browns. I hope you are aware that you are 16 minutes late for class. In the future, I will not accept such behavior."🖤

"Sorry, dude!"🚬

I know, I know. That was one of the most stupid things I could've said but I was too caught up in my own world to pay attention to anyone. Except for the one pair of eyes that shined in the sea of students. The only kid that was actually paying any attention to what was happening. His pale blue eyes and black hair intimated me a bit.

"Mr. Baker please sit in the back row and Mr. Browns introduce yourself to the class."🖤

The guy called Luke sat down in the back and he stared right through me. So now there were two, the guy with blue eyes and the fellow new student, that were glaring at me.

"Umm Hello everyone who is actually paying attention! The names Henery I like long walks on the beach and all kinds of cake."🚬

I winked and heard a groan from the teacher.

"I just moved from England and I am most definitely not looking forward to being here."🚬

"Thank you, Mr. Browns now, please sit behind Mr. Miller."🖤

I saw the blue-eyed boy flinch and I took it as a signal. I walked up to the seat behind the kid and decided to make a conversation.

"So what's your name?"🚬

"Felix..."💎

He obviously didn't want to talk to me but I didn't care too much. From that day on I made it my job to talk to him every day. Soon enough he opened up to me more and more. I got his phone number a couple of months in and by the end of the year, I went to his house twice. I learned that he had a shitty family life like me and he had a sister. Though it took two years for me to actually learn her name.

"Why do you want to get to know me?"💎

"Hell if I know. I just got the feeling if I stick around you I will get to do some crazy stuff."🚬

"You know how insane that sounds right?"💎

"That's the point."🚬

I was right though. In the time that I knew Felix, I did things I would have never done before. I stole a van, I worked to stop my addictions, and... I fell in love for the first time. All with a friend by my side to help me steal that van, to help me when I had impulses, and to help me when I experienced my first heartbreak.
