Changing Eyes

Chapter One: Burnt Toast

    ~Noah

    There she was. The only person I like at this school. Walking with down the hall with a sense of pride and joy. And then all of the sudden Becka comes from across the hall. I tried to get into class, but she beat me to the door."Oh, I didn't know chameleons could have feelings. Your little secret going to be my new news." She said with a smirk.

    "What the fuck are-" I try to say but she cuts me off.

    "Don't even try to deny it. Your little freak eyes gave it away. I can't can't believe gay!" I wish I could wipe that smile on her face.

    "At least I can feel love unlike some heartless bitch." I spit back. The look in her eyes told me she didnt like that.

    "What did you say bitch? Last I checked she was MY bestfriend. So you can keep your lips shut and where they belong, at my feet." She says thinking that it affected me.

    "Wow. I never took you for the kinky type."

    "Why you-you- how dare you say that to me! I still have something against you so if you say another word you won't be happy."

    My life is ruined. I thought it was bad already, but if this gets out, I'm toast. Not the perfectly brown toast, burnt toast. I was already the laughing stock of my school.

    So I did what she said no matter how much I wanted to bark back.

   School was hell the rest of the day. It's the week before summer break so all we do is presentations since we finished finals last week. And if you haven't noticed, I don't do well with the people here. It sucks because I have to speak in front of the class and they hate me. So as I'm presenting I'm being hit with paper balls and airplanes.

    The teachers even hate me because when I first started getting bullied I would come to a teacher with a black eye and a bloody nose. They thought I was doing it for attention since the people giving me these were their favorites. Only the school nurse liked me. So there was no defence against the brutality.

    But the worst part of the school day was the end of it. I normally race home as fast as I can, but today I had to stay back and turn in some homework. When I got outside, I regretted staying later than normal.

    Becka. Fuck. She was with Ash and her possy. This was not good for me.

    "There you are. I've been looking for you. You know the last little run in got me thinking, that I think you and I should do something." Becka said with flames in her hazel eyes that reminded me of the depths of hell."I was hoping we could work on a group project for Mr.Smith's classes. It would be nice to get to know you better."

    Shit. i'm so screwed. "Well, since I've already had enough of your shit today, I think not." I said hoping she forgot about the whole ordeal this morning,but luck wasn't on my good side today.

    "Well i was thinking since we had so much to talk about, like your manners, it would be such a good idea if we did the project together."

"I doubt you want to 'talk' so no." I start walking away.

"You're forgetting a tiny detail, don't forget our little secret. I will plan to see you after school tomorrow." She says as she grips Ash's wrist pulling her away.

    Then I heard Ash say to Becka as I walked away,"Don't you think that was a little harsh?"

    "No. She and I used to be besties and I just want to catch up. Well I want a drink. Let's go to the Cafe." I turned around to look and it almost seemed Ash had a bit of uncertainties in his eyes. But it was gone the second it appeared.

    Being alone always gave me some peace. Being bullied and all, I was done with humans. This world would be so much more beautiful if they weren't here anymore. The autumn would be more vibrant and colorful if it wasn't run down to buildings. It hurt me to see everything die.

    Something gave me the urge to stop at a dying park next to the side walk. I turned to look at a small plant dwindling to dust. I felt as if I could feel the plant's emotions. It felt... sad.

    "It's ok little guy, I understand what you're feeling." I felt some sort of connection with it. Its feeling of sadness came over me at once and something burst inside of me. I felt rage to the world, to humans for what they have done.

    The next thing I know, I yelled. At nothing and everything. This world was never made for people like me. It was made to tear us down till most of us take our life, leaving the world less bright then it was with them in it. Leaving more people helpless. The feelings from the plant left me screaming and crying for the world. For making me feel this way.

    I looked towards the once dying plant, and there was a beautiful vibrant flower that was not there before. I was baffled as to how that was. It couldn't have been me, I didn't do anything. I shook it off as I picked the flower to bring home to mom. She would like it.

    The walk home only took 45 minutes. But when I got home, something felt off. The door was cracked open, which only meant he was here. Fuck. I'm just glad moms still at the hospital working.

    As I walked through the door Mike was drinking with a few of his buddies at the kitchen counter. I was terrified of them, but I could never show it. All the things they have done to me. The bad memories of what happens when they get too drunk. But I still had to act tough for mom. I walk in the door and realize there's a newcomer among them.

    "Ah, Bitch just in time." Mike says with a smark.
