JJ POV
Monday.
The bane of my existence. It's the day of the week that I dread.
Actually, every other day is just as bad.
School is just terrible all together.
Nobody likes me and I'm alone.
Yay me.......
It's 6:30 in the morning and I'm just laying in bed not wanting to leave its warm embrace.
But sadly I had to. My parents would yell at me if they're not yelling at each other.
I get up and go to my bathroom.
Do I feel like showering?
I'm too lazy, but I didn't shower last night.
Ugh, I guess I have to.
I start my shower and set it to hot cause cold showers are gross.
I get in and just stand under its hot showers. I do what I had to and I get out and find a change of clothes for school.
I'm seriously considering going to school is sweatpants and a sweater cause why not?
But instead, I chose the usual, jeans with a sweater and a pair of vans that match the sweater and of course my glasses. I'm hella blind without them.
I look in the mirror and take a good look at myself.
I don't like what I see.
Everybody points out my flaws and every time I look in the mirror, I see what they see.
"Ew you're too scrawny."
"Lose some weight fatty."
"What's with the bird nest for hair?"
"Four eyed freak."
I take all these comments to heart. They hurt like hell.
I try to ignore them, but it's too overwhelming.
"Hurry up Jack! You're gonna miss the bus!" Mom yells.
I think mom and dad are done arguing.
They weren't home last night and by the sounds of it, they're calm.
At least they're happy now......I hope.
I grab my backpack and run downstairs.
"Morning sport." Dad says sipping his coffee.
"Sport?" I ask smiling.
He chuckles and continue reading the newspaper.
"Have a good day." Mom says handing me my lunch.
"Thanks." I say grabbing an apple from the fruit bowl and my lunch bag.
I walk out happy that everything at home is back to normal, but soon realize that I still have school to attend too.
As I'm walking towards the bus stop, I see the bus driving pass me and I panic.
I'm not even half way to the stop yet and the bus driver is a bitch so he will leave me even though he saw me.
I start running at full speed to catch the bus, but I missed it.
No one bothers to tell him to wait because you know. I'm that weird kid.
I groan in frustration and start walking to school.
School is about a 30 minute walk and if I walk fast I should make it in time.
~Jack G's POV~
"C'mon man! We can't be late on our first day of school." Matt yells from downstairs.
"Don't get you panties in a twist. I'll be down in a minute." I yell back fixing my hair.
"Well my panties are already in a twist! Hurry the fuck up!" He yells.
I chuckle and go down stairs after I grab my backpack.
We get into the car and start driving to school.
On the way I notice somebody walking.
Poor kid, it's like 60 something degrees today, so I'm pretty sure he's cold.
When we drive pass him, I noticed it was Jack.
"Matt stop the car!" I yell.
He immediately steps on the break and looks around frantically.
"Why? What happened?" He asked making sure everything was okay.
I didn't say anything and got out of the car.
"Jack!" I yell getting his attention.
He was looking down, but he turned his attention to me when I yelled at him.
"Why are you walking?" I asked as he gets closer.
"I missed the bus." He says simply.
I nod.
What should I do?
I want to walk with him so we can have alone time, but I don't want to be late.
"Are you okay?" He asks looking at me in my eyes.
Oh my. He have such beautiful blue eyes.
I shook my head getting out of the trance I was in.
"No you're not okay? What's wrong?" He asked with concerned in his voice.
"Oh I'm okay, just got lost in your eyes." I respond.
I immediately regret saying that because I don't mean to hit on him, but it just came out.
He blushed "Are you hitting on me?" He asks.
"Maybe?" I respond giving him a cheeky smile.
He blushed a deeper red, but shakes his head like he was telling himself no.
"Sorry, I'm not gay." He responds.
I was a little taken aback. I wasn't expecting him to respond that way.
"Sorry. Just thought your eyes were nice." I say.
He nods and continue to walk.
Crap! Think fast Jack!
"Hold on!" I say catching up with him.
"Hurry up Jacks! Let's get to school!" Matt yells from the car.
"We're walking!" I yell back.
Matt nods and drive off.
"You know we could've made it in time by driving, so now we might be late." Jack says flatly.
Damn it. Wrong choice Jack.
"Well I want to get to know you." I say truthfully.
"Again I'm not gay." He says putting his hands in his pockets.
"Okay? I want to be your friend." I say. It's true I want him, but he's making it obvious to me that he doesn't feel the same.
Maybe I can change him.
No that's stupid.
I'm stupid.
