Seniors have something called 'Freshman Friday.' They go around and mess with every freshman they can get their hands on. I'm not even one anymore and I still get beat twice as hard. I'm used to it, though. My nose has been broken countless times, and I have gotten so many black eyes and bruises I wear makeup to cover it. I'm just the kid no one likes. The kid everyone picks on. The one who hears 'faggot' more than his own name.

Patrick is finally attending his last year of high school. He thinks it will be an easy year with a few beatings from school, but nothing that will be more complicated than that. However, when Pete, the new boy every girl is fawning over, meets Patrick, will the year turn out differently then what he had expected? Peterick AU fanfiction.

One night after a show in November of 2008, Pete approaches Patrick on the bus after everyone else has gone to bed for a one night thing. Afterwards, Patrick isn't sure he wants it to end then, Pete wants to forget about the whole thing, and problems continue to arise. *Trigger warning* Sexual situations (although no smut, but something pretty close to it), swearing, alcohol, talk of a mental disorder. Hints of drugs. No self harm. This is also posted on AO3 right here: http://archiveofourown.org/works/3542366/chapters/7797329
