CHAPTER ONE

CHAPTER ONE

"S**t! S**t s**t s**t!" I shout as I rush toward the door, half naked. Apparently, my alarm clock is not loud enough to wake my lazy a*s up. I stumble into the doorknob when I make my way through the corridor into the bathroom, and the pain is killing me. I take a look at the time, it's already 8:24AM, "Oh, I'm so dead!" I mutter as I brush my teeth quickly, if you can call that half-assed effort 'brushing', and run back to my room. I pick up my clothes and wear them while going out. 

    As I run past the living room to the exit, I catch a glimpse of the news, just some unimportant announcement, funny how just one day after 9/11, people just move on as if it didn’t happen, the majority only cares for one, single day. We’re having the ceremony today, as yesterday we didn't attend school.

I get to school and walk past the guard having his coffee. I run through the hallway, hurrying up even though I am already so late. 

    I arrive to class and slam the door open, hitting the teacher, who was standing right next to it. Great, that’s just my luck!

    People are laughing, of course they are, I fucked up again. I apologize for a good few minutes and I sit down next to Michael. 

    “That was hilarious right there! Yo, check this s**t out” He says and hands me some dope, RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF CLASS. Michael is not the brightest candle out there, but he means well. 

    I get smacked from behind and turn around to see Chloe, with disapproval written all over her face. Chloe is my best friend, and also the toughest chick out there, believe me. 

    “Sup gorgeous?” I ask, knowing how she hates that. 

    “Dude, where were you last night? We were supposed to meet at Tyson’s and you totally blew us off!”

    She was right, I did blow them off, I was back home taking care of my mom as she was getting wasted over my dead uncle's picture, I only met him when I was a toddler, but I heard he was a great guy. I shrug to Chloe and give her a small ‘later’ sign, she would understand it was serious and let me off easy.. I hope. 

After a while, the bells ring and I advance to history class, as Chloe leaves for chemistry. I would’ve been jealous if I hadn’t known whom she was sitting with. 

    At chemistry, the tables are round and consist of five students each, doing the experiments together. Next to Chloe were George and Madison, which weren’t so bad, along with Jake and Cole Miller. 

    On his own, Cole isn’t so bad, he’s just a lab geek. But it’s his brother Jake who’s the problem, he’s a good for nothing bully, and he brings the bad side out of Cole, making the two of them unbearable douchebags. Jake also has the hots for Chloe, which is pretty funny, as she hates him even more than I do. 

    I think it was at fifth grade when I first met the twins. I was out in the playground playing with the rest of the kids as Cole asked to join, one thing led to another and before long we all found ourselves beating the s**t out of each other, with Jake laughing hysterically as I swallowed my tooth. As a kid, Jake used to make others drink his piss, and if they didn’t comply he’d cut their hair or break their fingers, he didn’t change much since, being the sick m**********r who tortured cats with his spare time. 

Three exhausting hours pass by slowly, and we head to the anti-terrorism ceremony which takes place in our basketball court. 

    I sit next to Chloe and Tyson and I explain yesterday’s events, hoping they’ll forgive my actions. I can see Jake and Cole, sitting two rows in front of me, harass Miles, a weak nerd they like to pick on.

    "Funny how those two annoy others just to compensate for their own sad life" I say to Chloe loud enough for Jake to hear me.

    "What'd you say, pipsqueak? I didn't hear you well, mind coming over here and saying it to my face, f****t?" Jake says and proceeds to shout "F**K THIS SCHOOL!"

    A random teacher comes up to kick the brothers out of the court and confiscate the razor they were using to cut and tear Miles's shirt with, poor b*****d. Jake smirks as he leaves the building, eyeing me with a malicious look.

    "Man, they're gonna knock your teeth out, you know how fucked up they can be" Tyson states the obvious. 

    "Yeah well someone's gotta stand up to those idiots, don't worry, we'll handle 'em" Chloe tries reassuring me, clearly failing.

The ceremony continues phony and boring as usual, recycling the contents of previous ceremonies, most people do this just to get it off their checklists. It’s 12:45PM and the school bells ring. Can't the time move any faster? God, how long are you going to make me experience this torturous, exhausting day?

***

I wake up, what just happened? I look to my right, confused, it's 8:22AM, s**t I'm late!

Author's Note
