Mr. Olsen, the English teacher, assigned us a poem as an assignment that we were to present in front of the class. I didn't like giving presentations; it wasn't that I was afraid of being on stage; I just don't like talking in front of people. Mr Olsen listened as everyone took turns reciting their poem aloud, Dylan and his friends didn't bother doing the assignment, I never liked guys like them because they think because they are rich, they can do whatever they want, it pisses me off.Athena and I were the last to present, so she took the stage first. She stood up and walked to the front of the class, holding her poem. I noticed that her gaze never left the ground as she began reading her poem to the class.I just stared at her when she was finished because I knew that poem meant a lot to her because I could see it in her eyes. She looked up and around the classroom, observing her classmates' expressions. Then that idiot fucker had to open his mouth and ruin her moment."Way to make e
I got up early today to make breakfast and get everything ready before leaving. I wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to look for work because, even if we had savings, we couldn't rely on it forever. Another thing on my mind was our parents' death anniversary, which was approaching, and I was wondering if Shane would like to go to their grave and see them; it's been a tradition since they died, but we weren't able to go last year, so I maybe we can go but I would've to ask him first.Due to the fact that I couldn't leave Shane alone at home during his suspension, I decided to skip school for the next three days; it's not like I'll miss anything "Wake up little man, you need breakfast, I'm going out early today to find a job," I told Shane as I tried to coax him out of bed.But instead of getting up he turned to the other side, attempting to fall back asleep. "Dude, get up or I'll wake you up the hard way," I said but got no response so i walked into the bathroom to get a bow
Today marks the fifth anniversary of my parents' deaths. On this day five years ago, our parents died, and Shane lost his ability to speak. Even after five years, the image of Shane hooked up to machines haunts my dreams. Every year on this day, I was in a bad mood, so I rarely did anything except visit their grave. I went over to Shane's room to see if he was awake. I found him sitting on his bed with his hands over his face, and when he looked up to acknowledge me, I noticed he was crying.I rushed over to him. "Are you all right, Shane?" I asked, sitting on the edge of the bed beside him and pulling him into a hug. I rubbed my hand down his back, trying to comfort him, but he continued to cry for thirty minutes before stopping."Hey buddy, can you tell me what's going on? You're making me worried," I asked quietly, but he looked away as if trying to avoid my question. "I need to know what's going on, Shane. Please tell me," I insisted."Why didn't I just die with them that day, Leo
Two days had passed since Dylan had attacked me in that classroom. No matter how hard I scrubbed, I could still feel his hands on my body and down my pants, so the only good part of the past few days was that Sophia was Back home.Sophia just returned from a week-long visit with her stepbrother, and I didn't want her to find out because she'll get upset because she doesn't want me to be hurt by them. I gave her a chance to calm down before knocking on her door and waiting for her to answer. When the door finally opened, I pulled her in for a hug."Hey, Athena, I missed you so much, what has happened since I left, are those boys still bothering you, and don't lie to me, you know you're a terrible liar" "Nothing gets past you Sophia, yes they do, but it's nothing I can't handle," I reassured her with a smile. I didn't want to bother her because she had a lot on her plate already. She didn't seem to believe me, but she didn't push me."So Uncle Jerry got a new girlfriend again, she seems
When I woke up, I was in one of the school's classrooms, it was dark outside so I couldn't see anything, I tried moving to find my way out but couldn't, then the lights came on and I was surrounded by Dylan and his friends, they were throwing trash at me and calling me nasty names, then the lights went out and I found myself standing in the hallway totally confused.I tried calling out for someone, but there was no response, and I began to panic because I couldn't remember leaving the house for school. Then, as I was lost in thought, three guys wearing Halloween masks emerged from the empty classroom around me. This terrified me because we were the ones here and they were just standing staring at me not saying a word.One of the guys reached into his pocket and pulled out an army knife without even waiting to see what he was going to do with it. I turned around and ran as fast as I could, but the faster I ran, the closer they got, and then the guy wearing the mask from the movie Scream
When I finished cleaning up in the kitchen, I went to my room to get my belongings. I packed everything I needed for work in my bag and went to the living room to wait for Sophia to come from her room. After a few minutes, I became lost in my thoughts.William Sanderson, the school football team's quarterback, was my first and only friend and boyfriend in junior year. I believed he cared about me, but it was all a lie. I vividly recall the day I discovered he was a lying good for nothing asshole.My phone rang, and I looked at the caller ID; it was William, and as I picked it up, a smile spread across my face; his beautiful voice spoke on the other end of the phone."How are things in France, Will?""All right, I guess.""What's going on with you?" I asked because he wasn't sounding like his usual self "I have something to tell you.""What are you scaring me about?" "I'm breaking up with you. My parents said we're going to stay here now because my dad got a job," I said."And you jus
Shane and I walked into Rudy's Diner for lunch, I hoped my Principessa was working today, I couldn't stop thinking about her, she looked cute whenever she blushed, I remember the day she ran into me, she looked so fucking adorable, then she walked into a door, I couldn't stop laughing, I knew it wasn't cool but I couldn't stop myself.I could see my Principessa approaching to take our order from afar, and a smile formed on my face. Shane noticed my smile and turned around to see what I was looking at. When he saw Athena, he started making kissing faces. I kicked his leg under the table, and when he tried to retaliate, Athena had already arrived at our table."Hi Athena,"i greeted, and she looked at me in shock "You know my name", she asked, fuck she looked adorable with that confused expression on her face."Yes I know your name, we go to the same school, and we sit together in every class we have together since I arrived at Riverview," i said casually watching her reaction carefully.
I really enjoyed hanging out with Leo and Shane at the park on Saturday, and I was looking forward to seeing Leo today. There is no denying that Leo is attractive, but after my last encounter with William, I couldn't let him into my world without extra caution. I can't be certain, but he doesn't seem like that kind of person.I was on my way to my locker when I found Leo leaning against it. I couldn't stop staring. His hair was packed into its signature bun, and he looked great as usual with his hair packed up. I was about to avert my gaze when he caught me staring at him."Take a picture, it will last longer," he said, laughing softly. I blushed at his remark, playful punching him in the arm. As we walked towards homeroom, we talked about Saturday and how much fun he and Shane had. But my happy morning was cut short when Dylan and his friends showed up."Well, isn't it the residential freak and her little boy toy," Dylan said as he and his friends approached us, "He is more of a lap
