Odd Ones Out

Chapter 3- "Trench Coat Mafia 2.0'

  It's been several weeks since the start of my new school, I've also gotten closer with Riley and Keith. They introduced me to their small clique, the Trench Coat Mafia 2.0. It consists of burnouts who wear trench coats almost every day, they also smoke, listen to hard rock, and skip class. Riley and Keith introduced me to the members, there were 5, Alex, Mary, Boyd, Zeke, and Allen. "Guys this is Jason Glasner, you may have seen us talking to him occasionally" said Keith. The members looked at me in disgust. Boyd replied, "What's up man? Nice to meet you!". I mumbled a shy hello, but Riley called all of our attention. "Everybody, Jason seems to be a loyal and trustful guy, so I hereby introduce the newest member of TCM 2.0.... JASON GLASNER!". Keith was the only one who clapped. "I don't have a trench coat though" I said. "Don't worry dude, I have one that I used to wear back before I got this one" Zeke said. "Cool man, thanks." The bell rang and we all made our way to class, but whenever I was on my way to 4th period, I was confronted by some varsity jocks. They pushed me up against the lockers and surrounded me, "What the fuck dude?" The jock didn't even speak as he punched me right in the jaw. I fell onto the ground, writhing in pain. "Get up faggot!" yelled one of the jocks. The jock that punched me attacked me again with strong kicks to my side, I kept on screaming. They eventually backed off and left me there, slouched over and groaning. I got up and just left school. That marked the day that I officially HATED everything.
