Her Fake Smile

Chapter 1; Just a normal day.

*Trigger warning; Bruises, Bullying*

I force myself up out of bed. It's my last day in my normal life. At least I didn't know that back then. I get up and hey dressed. I look in the mirror. I look like such a mess. But oh well. Not like looking better will change anything. Summer. It started today. Thank god. I couldn't handle another day of that.

I go down stairs. My dad's at work already. So I grab my lanyard with my house keys on it. Leave and lock the door behind me. Dad gave me money so I could get ice cream.. His excuse was it would help raise my spirits and combat the heat.

While on my way to the ice cream shop I see a girl I recognize. No mistake that's her. Lillian Shepard. Her bright orange hair makes her obvious. I duck behind a tree and slide down behind it. Why. Why now.. Why today. If she sees me. I hear a male voice boom next to me. I don't recognize it.

"What are you doing?" I grip onto my Your Turn to Die lanyard. It has a small squishy ball on it to help me calm down when I'm scared. I don't respond. Maybe he's talking to someone else and not me! Yeah that's it! I reassure myself. But he speaks again.

"Hello? I'm talking to you dumbass!" His screaming makes me jump. Why me. Wh- Next I hear Lillian's voice break my thoughts.

"Bakug- What are you doing talking to HER?!" So whoever he is, is trying to talk to me. I keep quiet squishing the ball in the palm of my hand.

"Because shes alone? Why not? I mean she's not doing anything wrong. " I look up just enough to see him. He shrugs and shoves his hands in his pockets. I look back at the ground in front of where I sit.

"Nothing wrong? Pfft. Her existence is wrong. Now let's g-" She's shocked when he stops her mid sentence. And what he says even shocks me.

"Nah. I'm canceling our plans. I'm gonna help this dumbass here. And your gonna go away. " He sure likes to use the word dumbass. I think to myself. Lilian who's lost for words huffs kicks me in the side. Hard. And leaves. Hiding the pain that spreads through my side I get up.. Stumbling abit. When I go to walk away. A hand on my arm stops me..

"Dumbass sit down. Your gonna end up hurting yourself worse if you try and walk alone." I turn around and look at the ground.

"No I'll be fi-" He growls. And starts pulling me by the arm over to a bench.

"Sit there and stay. " I do as said. I should probably listen. My side hurts. Bad. Not like she hasn't done this before but this time it hurts even more then before. When he comes back he holds a ice pack to my side and takes and hands me a bandage and looks away. Getting the gist. Something about him makes me trust him. I take it and grab the ice pack.. Lifting my shirt just a bit too see a very bad bruise I put the ice pack on it and tie the bandage around my waist so it holds the ice pack in place and lower my shirt.

"T-thank you. " I whisper. He looks at me. Almost as if he's trying to know every small secret I have. He rolls his eyes.

"Why the fuck do you let her treat you like that? " He scans my arm. All the different bruises on my arm. All from me  basically being her human punching bag.

"It's fine. " I look up at the sky. "I mean. She needs to pick on someone to be happy right? I want others to be happy. "

He clicks his tongue. "That's not your job to make others happy. And you wanna make someone happy right? The how about this dumbass. Stop letting her bully you. That will make me fucking happy. And for crying out loud look at me."

I glance at him. He has ash blonde hair and ruby red eyes. He smirks.. "Now.. Shouldn't you tell me your name? That would only be fair. You already know mine. " I nod.

"M-my name is Kiyoko. " He seems like a very mean person by the way he talks. But at the same time... He's the first person that has ever helped me.

"Could I ask you something? " I finally get the courage to speak. "What is it idiot? " I take a deep breath. "Um. Why would you stick up for me? I mean. You don't really know me. " He shakes his head.

"Maybe not. But. You obviously are too dumb to help yourself. " He shrugs. I smile. "Well! Thank you. " I smile happily. That seems to catch him up guard but he smirks once again.

"No problem idiot. Now. Lets go. I'm gonna bring you home. " He gets up and extends his arm. I grab his hand.. "O-okay." He pulls me up. My side still hurts a bit. But he helps me travel all the way home. He may seem mean. And cold. But. Oddly I get this warm feeling that I can trust him. So. I'll follow that feeling. And hopefully it was correct.

Hey y'all! So while this may be me re-writing my book on my old account. I'm gonna follow a different plot. Something that fits the way I write and helps me express stuff that I've gone through so.  Please remember. THIS IS NOT AN X READER! this story is made for me to use Kiyoko to. Express myself and vent. So. Please don't replace or use her character. Anyway. Thank you all for reading.
