As I walked out of bio class I saw Hamilton waiting for me by the door. His long, thin, body leaning against the door frame as he brushed his long stringy, dark black hair out of his pale face. "So, Charlie boy," he sneers at me, "Ready for lunch?" "sure" I reply haphazardly. His slitted eyes wink at me and I get a weird feeling in my gut but I push it aside. This guy is always giving me bad vibes. We walk down the crowded halls to our little table in the smoke pit outside. Lars is there eating a sandwich and slurping on some extra large soda. "Hey guys, look what I got from the chess nerds!" he exclaims while gesturing towards his soda. "Nice one there, Bull," Hamilton says as he claps him on the back before he sits down beside Lars. I sit across from the duo and pull out my lunch. We sit in quiet for a couple minutes listening to the chatter of the pot heads that we share the smoke pit with. Lars continues to slurp on his drink until something catches his eye. "Look its the fag!" he says loud enough for the boy he was pointing at to hear and look in our direction. The boy was short and slender, wore a tidy purple button up buttoned all the way to the top, bright turquoise capris that fit snug around his thin legs with purple shoes. But the most striking thing about this boy, was his hair. It was bright pink, almost looked like it was a ball of yarn. It was curly on top but obviously straitened and shorter on the sides like a fauhawk. He was very feminine but he wore it like he owned it. The boy looked straight at a Lars and walked away swiftly with a confidence that could only be described as strained.
"Who's that?" I asked Lars. "It's the fag.." he was saying when he got cut off by Hamilton, "His name's Flynn Harrison, all you need to know about him is that he's a pussy and sure is a hell of a lot of fun to put a mark on that fag ass face of his." I was getting so done with these two and their disrespect for others. But I had to remember to keep myself safe, and at no cost was I going to get kicked out of this school too. Even if it meant that I had to surround myself with these idiots.
The next day I went through the same old routine; get up, eat breakfast, walk to school, get in late for class, hide from my peers and teachers untill lunch where either Lars or Hamilton would be waiting for me by my classroom to walk with me to the pit. After bio, Hamilton was there waiting for me again with his long, slender form snaking it's way towards me. (He totally reminded me of Randal from Monsters Inc.) "Hey there Charlie boy," he says as Lars joins us on our walk down to the pit. "Today's going to be a bit different..." a cunning smirk makes its way onto his face and I get that twisting feeling in my stomach again. "We have some... Arands to do" he continues as the three of us walk down the hall, Hamilton's arm slung over my shoulder uncomfortablely. Lars laughs knowingly and says, "Ohhh, it's going to be fun!" "Shut up!" snaps Hamilton, "Don't ruin it you idiot." It's almost like Hamilton doesn't want Lars to steal his spotlight. The feeling in my stomach becomes harder and harder to bare as we start walking in a different direction than that of our usual spot in the pit. We walk to the other side of the school with Hamilton's arm almost forcing me forwards. And thats when I see him. The boy with the pink hair; Flynn. His back is turned, so he doesn't see us looming in the hallway.
All of a sudden I get shoved to the side of the hall hidden behind a doorway. Its Hamilton. "You see that kid, the fag?" I stare at him confused for a moment. "You see him?" he says more persuasively, "We're gonna teach him a lesson. He can't just walk by us without permission. Scum like him aren't ALLOWED to walk away from US when WE'RE talking to him!" he says as he gets a little more aggressive with me, putting his fists in my shirt grabbing it so he has hold of me. He looks me straight in the eyes, I see dark pools of black, almost like tar, he isn't joking around, anger deep inside him is surfacing...
