The bell goes for the end of the day, and the kids start leaving their classes and flood the hallways trying to get out of the school, I walk from my history class being called names and the teachers just stand there watching not caring, the other students look at me like I'm a freak like I'm a monster, that I didn't belong.
I get to my locker and start grabbing my stuff to go home. When Andrew walks by and goes to his locker he opens it and starts putting his stuff away he then looks a photo I think to my self *but what photo*. Andrew shuts his locker right before the other jocks show up.
I shut the locker and walk by the jocks and one of them snacks my binders out of my hands and I get on my knees to pick it up before one of them says "you will be doing that a lot faggot"
Immediately Andrew grabs the guy by the shirt and pushes the guy against the locker and throws him to the ground. The guy gets up with a broken and bloody nose, and a hurt ego, he leaves with the other jocks. Andrew walks up behind me and says
" I'm sorry for what happened" I look at him in his blue eyes hurt on the verge of breaking because of the constant bullying the constant name calling and the constant rumors , a tear goes down my face I look down as the tear falls of my cheek onto Andrews hand that's holding my binder for me,
"why your the same way"
I start walking off again before he says
"I'm trying, i-i"
I turn around and look at him and walk up to him, cutting him off mid sentence
" then prove it and change because you are not going to get anywhere in life being the way you are or hanging out with the people you do" Andrew looks at me with a slight smile,
"I will" Andrews says.
"we'll see Andrew, in time, you have to find your self first, Andrew you need to embrace who you are as a person." and I walk away Andrew smiles and lets a tear go down his face
"I have, once but I don't know if I will be able to after what happened...because it still hurts" Andrew murmurs.
Awhile later I am half way home when a car pulls up to me.
"Hey Jack you wanna ride" I stop and look at him and walk closer so he can hear me
"n-no thank you, Andrew, my house is just down here" he opens the door and pretends not to hear me, I walk over and get in we drive for another few minutes, he pulls into my driveway and drops me off at my house "thanks Andrew" he smiles "anytime, anytime"
4:30pm
I sit there at my desk in my room sketching me and Andrew sitting in front of a water fall my head tilted on his right shoulder, as we watch the water crash into its self when it hits the lake below settling after a number of ripples with a beautiful sunset of the water as the water goes to sleep as the sun says good night, nature says good night but not goodbye, you'll see it again when the sun says hello, i start to cry and the page starts to get wet from the tears.I wipe them away a few moments after I do there is a nock at the front door and I go down stairs and open it *its Andrew*
I blush and gazing at him,
"W-w-what are you doing here. Andrew" *blushes*
" you wanna hang out or something "
"Uhm? S-ure? , I turn around for a second then turn back"
"Give me a second Andrew i gotta grab something" I try hiding my deep red face.
I go up stairs and grab my book and a jacket, going back down stairs I out in my shoes and,
We walk out of my house and get into his car and we start driving down roads out of the city. I look at Andrew confused
