Chapter 9: Another Day

It was still somewhat early before class, so I just hung out at my locker. I usually go to class, but today felt different.

The halls were getting emptier as time passed, I was leaving my locker. When I was shoved back against

I looked up to see who it was.

Schlatt and Techno.

Techno was the one who pushed me against the locker.

"We told you that we'd be back and here we. So, what's up dork"

"Leave me alone"

I mumbled

"Speak up Twink, no one can you when you fucking speak like a mouse"

He spat back.

I did not repeat myself out of fear of physical damage, but that didn't help. Silence as a response was not a good idea.

They started kicking shins till I fell to the ground, my shoulders shrunk my arms wrapped around my legs.

They stopped and Schlatt bent to my level, he lifted my chin from my knees.

"That'll teach to have proper manners, not responding is impolite"

They laughed maniacally as they walked away from the scene, lucky for them no one witnessed and probably didn't hear anything either.

A few tears were falling down my cheek, I wiped them away. I made my way to a bathroom to check the damage.

It wasn't terrible, It could be 100 times worse. Although it was gonna leave a mark, luckily there already covered by my pants. So, there is no need to worry about people finding out. However, I do have a very slight limp. But, it was easier to cover up.

I rinsed my face to make sure it wasn't too red from tears, even if there weren't a lot. They still leave a mark. I checked the mirror and it looked as if nothing happened. Good.

I slipped out of the bathroom and snuck into class just before attendance was taken. A few weird looks were sent my way seeing as I am never late for class, but I ignored them all. Except for one and that was Dreams.

He seemed a bit concerned

I wasn't sure if we are on goods terms or bad terms. Good terms meaning that we could talk casually without bringing up our issues and bad meaning we can't talk without being awkward.

"I'm fine"

I mouthed

He seemed to not believe my response, which bothered me a little. But, as the class went on it bothered me less and less.

The bell finally rang, I walked up to the teacher and handed in my sheet. I walked out of the class and went to my English class.

But, before I could I got pulled to the side and into a closet by someone I couldn't recognize with the split second that I saw him.

I looked up to see it was Dream.

He had a concerned look on his face, his emerald green eyes kept eye contact with me. And I couldn't look away, his wavy dirty blond hair had fallen in front of his face. He blew it out of his face and it stayed tucked behind another strand.

His hand was still holding my wrist, he sighed and let go of my wrist leaning back against the shelf in the closet.

"Are you okay, I saw that you were limping a bit"

"What, no I am not"

"Please don't lie to me, I know I haven't been the best. But I want to be friends again. So, please"
