Disgust .
That's what everyone looked at them with .
Not like he cared . Not like she cared .
Hand in hand . They made their way down the hall .
Both laughing .
Laughing at this town , laughing at that part of the world .
" Its unbelievable . "
How could she go with him? "
" She's a stupid brat " .
" Stubborn as hell , still hanging around him . "
He heard the words , but he didn't let them get to him .
Instead he listened to her .
Listened as she talked about nothing and everything at once .
Suddenly , his hand was wrenched from hers .
He slammed into one of the lockers .
" Looks like you got yourself a girlfriend freak , what'd ya do ? Pay her ? "
No one had time for anything , they all just watched as a ticking bomb exploded before them.
" WHAT THE HELL DID YOU SAY ?! " Mackenzie yelled , his fist colliding with the other boys jaw .
A sickening crunch filled the hallway , the other boy slammed into the floor .
Red was trickling down the other boys jaw as he held his hand there , there was fear in his eyes .
But mostly remorse .
His own hand was throbbing with pain , his mind was throbbing with hate .
Something delicate wrapped their arms around him . He fell quiet .
Everyone looked at him with hate .
They watched in hate as she held him .
They watched in hate as she buried her face in his chest , pleading him .
" Why are you with him? " Came the question .
" You know who he is " . Came another .
" Don't you know about him? "
" He's disgusting , he's filth . "
" Or don't you know who his mother is? Don't you know what a low life those people are?"
Silence.
" His family is made of robbers and liars and killers, he's just like them " .
Everything seemed to sink in on him , as if he were drowning , yet he was still breathing .
Letting the pain last longer , letting himself drown longer .
He stepped backwards , away from the crowd , he could hear the teachers coming .
His back hit the cold metal of the lockers , he let himself be dragged down by the weight of his reality .
And still , she never let go of him .
His world was caving in on him , dragging him away from where this place was .
Everything went black .
