I hade just finished my breakfast when I heard a knock on the door. I quickly put my cereal bowl in the sink and ran out to the hall and looked myself in the mirror before opening the door.
-" Hello Sara. You ready to leave?" HE asked with a smile.
-" yep. I'm just gonna take my bag. Come in and wait." I said and took a step back so HE could come in. HE stood in the hall as I ran up the stairs and got my backpack from the couch in my room and ran down stairs again. I stopped at the last few steps and froze when I saw Bill, mom's husband, standing in the hallway, talking to HIM. "Fuck" I whispered to myself.
-" so are you guys together?" Bill asked HIM.
-" no, no. We're just friends" HE said. Bill looked at HIM for a long time. I threw my backpack over my shoulder and hurried to the hall.
-" So, should we go?" I said and looked at HIM. HE nodded his head quickly. I put on my shoes and glanced up at Bill. Bill was looking at me with a look that said "wait til you get home". The hair on my neck raised as I quickly grabbed my jacket and opened the door. I held the door open for HIM who turned to Bill.
-" Bye sir." HE said to Bill, who just nodded back. HE followed me out and quickly away from home. Bill acts like my dad, and I hate that. I have a fucking dad, and it's not someone who drinks every night and spends most of his money to himself for gambling. We walked in silence for a long time. When we got to the bus stop HE finally broke the silence.
-" So how cool is it that we have our rooms next to each other?" HE asked. I laughed.
-" pretty cool." I said. HE smiled and looked at the bus that was driving towards us. I thought for a while before I pulled gently on his sleeve so HE was looking at me. "Hey I'm sorry about Bill. He can be a jerk sometimes. No actually all the time" I said. HE laughed.
-" it's okay. I get it parents are like that" HE said. I shock my head.
-" Bill is not my dad" I said as the bus stopped in front of us.
-" He isn't?" HE asked before going up on the bus. I shock my head. We both paid with our bus cards and went to the back of the bus. "Then who is he?" HE asked when we sat down in our seats.
-" my moms husband" I said in disappointment.
-" oh, and I'm guessing you don't like him, do you?" HE asked. I pushed my lips together and shock my head. I took a deep breath and looked down at my hand.
-" you okay?" HE asked. I looked up at HIM.
-" yeah. I'm fine." I said and faked a smile. HE breath out and lifted one eyebrow.
-" I don't know how, but I can see when your lying" HE said.
-" how? It always works on everybody else!" I said. HE smiled.
-" What's wrong?" I looked at HIM with a smile.
-" nothing. It's fine." I said. HE hit his shoulder against mine so I bumped back to HIM.
-" Sara? Talk to me" HE sounded worried. I don't like making others worried. I took a deep breath.
-" it's just,..... You won't understand. It's silly." I said and rolled my eyes.
-" It's okay. What's wrong with being silly?" HE asked. I looked at him with surprise. Did not expect that coming from HIM. I closed my mouth after a while and swallowed in a try to get the clump away, but failed. I don't know why I keep trying when I know it won't work. 
-" I really hate my life. My family, my friends, the school. Everything. And the thing is, I don't even know why. I don't like to be negativ, but it's hard to stay positive in this world. I want to talk to someone about it but I can't. I'm scared that they will care to much and try and fix it, and i don't want that. My problem is mine to solve. I don't like dragging attention to myself or dragning them into my mess. But the worst part is that," I said and paused and took a deep breath. " that I hate myself." Now i've said to much and I really felt bad. I just wanted to cry. I pressed my hands together under my bag.
-" I know you hate hearing this right now, but this is true. It is going to get better." HE said. I frowned and immediately regretted it because it sounded mean.
-" How do you know. You're not going throw this." I said. HE looked away and bit his bottom lip.
-" let's talk about it later. This isn't really a place to talk." I said and HE looked back at me and smiled.
-" okay." HE said...

At school:
I glanced at the girls talking by their lockers and laughing loud while looking at their phone. I should get an award for not being dead and for not killing everyone in this stupid school. I can get irritated easily but I can also control myself. 
-" see ya Sara" Zoe and Jessica said without turning to me as they continued walking down the corridors. I didn't even care about answering. I looked down at the floor while walking towards my looker.
-" Hello Sara." I looked up and was relived when i saw HIM, leaning against my locker. 
-" Hi." I said...
