Chapter 25
I put my books away in my backpack, glad that we were able to have a decent conversation, and we went our own separate ways after hearing the bell ring. I saw Alex in class as she came over to sit beside me and we helped each other out on the assignment. There was a bit of awkwardness between us but maybe we still need to get to know each other more. But it was nice being able to sit with people that I know instead of being alone or distancing myself from everyone else that’s approached me in class. In P.E., the teacher had us walking around the track after roll call and Jennifer was asking about where I was since I didn’t go to school Friday.
“I went to stay with my dad,” I tell them; Alex and Karen also joined us on our walk.
“How did it go?” Jennifer asked.
“Your parents are divorced?” Alex asked. “So are mine, but I live with my dad and my mom gets me every two weeks.”
“Yeah, they are.

I thought about it and knew that she could be right about David not needing an excuse to be expelled, but I don’t think that will ever stop him from doing something after school if he ever catches me out of the school ground. That thought actually scared me more than it should have because it seems like David can be an aggressive person and that was the last thing I wanted to deal with. I was quiet during class as I was thinking about these things and when I went to P.E. the teacher actually had us do workout exercises; luckily that kept us all busy until the bell rang. I could tell that Elliot was watching David and I also made sure I was nowhere near him the rest of the day. I didn’t want there to be an incident and for a second I thought I saw David walking over to me so I quickly turned away when I was entering the locker room.“Hey, Michael!”I looked up and saw Luis, the boy that was talking to me when Elliot was teaching me how to play vo

The rest of the week went by easily and I wasn’t too sure how it would go after finding out that David is back in school, but he seemed to be ignoring me which I had no problem with. While I was in my tutoring session after school, Elliot was at practice, and it became a usual routine for us since we’re always waiting on each other. Sometimes I would go over and watch them practice, but I stopped practicing with them and I can tell Luis wanted to come over to try to convince me to join in. He would always greet me when we walk into each other and see how I am, but he no longer brings up about playing with the team or about his ideas about the equipment manager position; which I wasn’t really looking into. Friday came, Elliot and I met up as we were walking to our P.E. class outside in the field but I remembered that he had his volleyball game today.“I won’t be able to meet up with you after school,” he informs me.“It’s

I glanced over at him before clearing my throat, “I kind of meant to say that quietly… I guess I get a little annoyed when I watch people… Sometimes I wonder if I can ever be like them…”“And be like what?” he asked. “Normal?”“Yeah," I answered. “Being able to go out with a group of people, doing things like everyone else and just not worried about… everything.”“Aren’t we doing that now?” he asked me. “We went out to eat, chat, even looked at the stores just like everyone else is doing right now. Isn’t what we’re doing normal? When we went to the beach, didn’t that feel like something normal people would do?”I glanced over at him before looking at the shoppers, “Yeah…” I said quietly. “Yeah, that’s true.”“So are you annoyed that we’re doing what everyone else is doing?

It's been a couple of weeks since I’ve been hanging out with Chris and I honestly was enjoying that time alone with him. He’s different from the other guys in the class and he never cared what people had to say to him. It was like he decided on the people he wanted to talk to and would tell people the honest truth even if it was something that they would dislike. It took me a while to open up to him, but in time it was easy to talk around him knowing that he wouldn't judge too or dwell on certain matters. The only thing I didn’t like about him was his stubborn personality; he’ll get mad and sometimes gets into fights with the other students. He’ll warn me about the people I have to be careful with. He had a few enemies so during lunch we’ll spend our time together in case they’ll bully with me and the possibility of getting hurt.“If they ever talk to you, I’ll fucking kick there ass.” he would say. “You have t

The bell rang, students walking to their desks and he finally turned away leaving me to focus on my classwork. After a while, Chris fell asleep a few times during the day and I would glance over at him still wondering about my feelings towards Chris. But he’s become so obvious that he would catch me off guard like when he brushed his fingers over my arms or lean a little closer to me when he had the chance and I didn’t know how to react. No one has ever touched me this way before and I’d blush from his attention. The day felt so long until the final bell rang and I was making my way out of calls wanting to go home now.While walking out of the school, Chris spotted me so I waited for him so we could walk together when he wrapped his arms around me and I almost pulled away. There was still a group of students making their way out that I wasn’t too sure if we should be seen in a romantic way. I think I was still scared of being messed with as the kids di

I shouldn’t feel guilty that I lied, but I felt like Chris wouldn't have agreed to let Caesar join us or even wanted to talk with him if he joined us. I saw Caesar at the front of the school like I asked and waved at him once he saw me. We walked for a while and it was honestly a nice change talking with someone that has a few things in common and that kept our conversation going until it was time to go our separate ways. I waved at him walking towards the direction of my house before someone had reached out to grab my backpack from behind me and caused me to fall back hitting the ground.I looked up and saw Chris behind me. “What? Where-”“You fucking lied,” he said as he reached out to grab the collar of my shirt and pulled me up.“No. It is not like that.”“How the fuck is it then?” he said as he pushed me against a fence and I felt my chest tighten as I looked up at him.“I knew you wo

The fear rose inside me so I tried to move away from me and I accidentally fell to the floor hurting my wrist when I tried to catch myself. Chris was breathing heavily as he looked down at me before reaching for my arm and I slapped his hand away as I couldn’t look at him.He looked around before reaching out again picking me up. “I’m sorry.” He said as he began to clean my pants.“Don’t,” I mumbled, slapping his hands away and I fixed myself.He left me alone for a long minute before turning to me again. “I’m sorry. I just got really angry and I didn’t mean all that.” He said as he reached out to hold my hand. “I didn’t mean to hurt you.”I didn’t say anything but I slowly pulled my hand away.“Come on. We both said a lot of things we didn’t mean.” He said as he pulled me close kissing my cheek from where he hit me. “I’m sorry.&r

I watched her leave soon after I washed the rest of the dishes then put away anything that was left out on the table. I went back to my room once I was done and laid there playing on my phone passing the time until I had to get ready for this date. I began to clean my room after I got dressed because I was already nervous to go out and there was still an hour before Elliot came to pick me up. I sat there on my bed as I played around with the rubber band around my wrist and it felt like I haven’t done this in a while. I looked down at my wrist before taking a deep breath knowing that there wasn’t anything for me to be worried about. I made my way outside once it was time and made sure the door was locked behind me when I saw Elliot pulling up.“Hey.” He said, smiling.“Hi,” I said as I put on my seat belt after I got in.“You okay?” He asked.“Yeah, I’m just curious about what we’ll be doing
