another day of school.
i dreaded it less now because of lukas.
although i had one class with him.

my first class was my least favorite.
math.
plus the teacher was an ass.
just like most of the school.
but i was good at math so it didnt seem like long.

then came english.
i loved the teacher.
she favored me because i liked to write.
she read it sometimes.
i think she understood how dark my life was.
she could probably tell from how dark my writing was.
she never questioned me about it though, she probably knew better.
she only praised me on my "exquisite choice of wording".

history had always been easy for me.
the teacher was okay, not much of a bother.
the real bother was the girl in the class with me.
classic drama queen.
she'd do anything to get attention and it just so happened that bullying and embarassing me got her quite alot of attention.
thank god that was the class i had with lukas.
he stood up for me alot, i soon realized.
and the girl soon got bored of bothering me.
thank god for lukas.

lunch came next.
lukas started sitting with me.
as did his friends.
casper, declan, rose,
kieran, claudia, and grace
all now sat with us.

kieran and grace were one of the junior grade's longest couples.
they were the kind of couple that were not only hopelessly in love but the best of friends. they were never apart.
i hoped to have someone like that someday.

casper was a slut.
he slept around with every other gay guy in the entire school.
he could never find someone he could latch on to.
they'd all slip from his grasp just as soon as they'd attach.
i could tell he'd find someone one day though.
he had a great personality and not to mention, face.

declan was mysteriously secretive.
that was very weird because he tended to know everyone's secrets.
he was very trustworthy. everyone befriended him because he could easily ruin someone's reputation if they hadn't.
there was one secret that everyone knew about declan.
declan had liked rose for as long as anyone could remember, lukas had told me.
everyone was well aware.
everyone that is, except rose.

rose.
sounds so sweet.
like a delicate flower.
she was a bitch.
so opinionative and judgemental.
she was not afraid to speak her mind.
declan said that turned him on.
rose had always been nice to me.
but i guess she could easily be talking about me behind my back.
or perhaps she refrained on judging her friends.

and last, claudia.
she was a nervous type.
a type that knew she had alot of friends but still worried.
she was very pretty, very sweet, but oh so nervous.
she obviously had an anxiety problem.
she pushed herself away from everyone in hopes of not ruining potential relationships.
a lot of guys wanted her desperately but she was just too nervous she would ruin it.
i cant say i blame her.
i worry about ruining lukas with my poisonous thoughts.

lukas' friends, i mean, our friends, had all been so different.
but we all fit together so well.
we all brought something to the table that complimented someone else.
and i finally felt i belonged somewhere.
