Chapter 5

When we got to school I didn't even bother to look for Steven's crew or Nic's crew I just walked in and straight to my locker. i was beginning to think coming here was a bad idea. I was in to pissy of a mood to deal with any bullshit today. Max made the wise choice and didn't ask and didn't speak to me while we were on our way to school.

There was three things I knew was going to happen today. One some one was going to fuck with me at some point. Two if Officer Kennedy comes in I would be called down to the office. And three I was going to get in trouble either here or at home. I body hurt and my mind was mush so part of me didn't care but the other part of me was done. I was so done with bullshit it was unbelievable. After cleaning and making sure the house was good enough to pass a CPS inspection I was so done doing that. So fucking what if I end up in foster care it is not like it could be worse then my life is now.

"Skyler, Mr. Thomas would like you to come down and see him please." Mrs. Miller said from the doorway of the classroom. 

"Okay, thank you." I said gathering my stuff before walking to the office to talk to the principle. Officer Kennedy and Miss. Vincent were in there waiting for me also.

"Before we start I want to go on record to say I am not tell any of you who is picking on me." I said before setting down.

"I have already told them that, Skyler." Officer Kennedy said.

"Good" I said looking over at him.

"But because you won't tell us who it is the only thing we can do is keep a better eye out. I am also going to make an announcement today about a zero tolerance policy that will be in effect as of today." Mr. Thomas said.

"Shouldn't you have had this policy already?" Officer Kennedy asked.

"I didn't think we needed it." Mr. Thomas said.

"In every school there are bullies and in every school there should be a zero tolerance policy. More and more kids are bullied due to small things like the color of their eyes or hair." Officer Kennedy said.

"I agree, I think those who are bullied are afraid to come forward due to what may happen if the bully finds out they are the ones who turned them in." Miss. Vincent said looking at me I shrugged it's true so why should I agree or disagree. I figured the less I said the better off I am.

"Show them your side, Skyler." Officer Kennedy said. I stood up shooting him a glare and lifting my shirt.

"I want you in my office once a week so I can check for injuries." Mr. Thomas said.

"That is not going to happen." I said looking at him.

"How are we going to know when you are injured?" He asked.

"Your not. I don't want a big deal made out of this. If you see it happen then that is fine but unless you see it then that is another story." I said sitting back down.

"Okay, Skyler you can go to your first hour." Mr. Thomas said.

"Thank you, Officer Kennedy may I talk to you in the hall please." I asked.

"Sure, I will be right back." He told Mr. Thomas and Miss. Vincent.

"Is both of my parents getting out today?" I asked him as soon as we were in the hallway.

"Your mom will be released around noon and if she bails out your dad then he will be too but that is if she bails him out. She was pissed that he wrecked her car so she might not." He said chuckling. I didn't think any of this was funny but hey at least some one could laugh.

"Okay thanks." I said .

"Do you work tonight?" he asked.

"All week and I am staying at Max Johnson's this weekend." I said.

"Be good, Skyler." He said smiling at me.

"I am always good." I said smiling back.

I walked back to my locker and headed to my first hour. The whole day was pissing me off. Half way to my first hour I decided to head back to my locker and get my stuff for second hour and went to the library so I could try and calm down. I needed time to just relax. I found a corner in the library and sat down.

I woke up about fifteen minutes before lunch. What was the point in even coming today? I still felt cranky and out of it. I gathered my things and headed back to my locker so I could put my books away and head to the lunch room.

"Where the hell have you been?" Max asked as he came up to the table I was sitting at.

"Sleeping in the library." I said yawning.

"You still cranky?" He asked.

"Yeah I guess, I am sorry." I said honestly.

"It is okay, it looks like you didn't get enough sleep last night." He said. That let me know he had heard all the noise last night and it was his way of opening up for me to talk about but not pushing.

"Yeah, I had to clean up the house." I said leaving it at that.

"Did you want to go to the game with me on Friday?" He asked.

"Yeah, are they going to let you drive yourself?" I asked.

"Yeah, I told Mr. Mitchell that I needed to drive because I was meeting my parents so we could go away for the weekend." He said with a shrug.

"Cool, if I can I will make us some hot chocolate in case it's cold  out." I said looking forward to watching Zander play again.

"Awesome" He said smiling.

Once lunch was over I headed back to my locker. Waiting for me there was Nic. Can't I go one fucking day with out seeing these assholes. 

"What can I do for you, Nic?" I asked.

"What the fuck was with that announcement today? Did you fucking narc on me fag?" He yelled.

"Look asshole, I didn't tell on anyone. They called me in because of what Miss. Vincent seen yesterday. Your the dumb ass who has to beat people who you think are beneath you or you don't like who they are. If you are worried maybe you should grow the fuck up and start treating people with respect instead of beating them up or calling them names." I yelled back at him. He was shocked to say the least but I didn't care. I wasn't dealing with the bullshit today.

"Fuck you, faggot." He yelled back.

"Sorry Nic, your not my type." I said with a smirk.

"That is fucking disgusting your sick if you think that was an offer." He said getting madder. 

"Then stop saying it." I said smiling.

"I know what your doing, your trying to get me to hit you faggot ass so I get exspelled." He said pointing a finger at me.

"If I wanted you exspelled I would have told them it was you dumbass." I said shaking my head.

"Well you better watch yourself. " He whispered before heading off in what ever direction he was going. 

The rest of school was just as draining. I was hoping work would be better. As soon as I got there I knew it was going to be a busy day. We had stock to put away and from the list I found on the table in the break room we had cleaning. Great more fucking cleaning. I wanted to shower and go to bed. Four hours and I could hopefully do that.

This was kind of boring but at least Skyler is starting to stick up for himself a little.
