i woke up with sun shining on my face. i groggily got up from my bed and walked into the bathroom. i looked at the mirror. i still wasn't used to my short hair. i washed my face. then throw on a pair of black leggings, white hoodie and sneakers. i put on the hoodie so that i wouldn't draw attention. after getting ready, i carefully opened the door. my dad probably wasn't home. he goes to work early. i grabbed my bag then left the house. sun was shining and clouds were filled in the sky. i hummed a song while riding my bike to school.
isn't it lovely?
all alone
heart made of glass, my mind of stone
tear me to pieces
skin to the bone
hello, welcome home
i loved this song. it basically described me.
but i know someday i'll make it out of here
even if it takes all night or a hundred years
need a place to hide but i can't find one near
wanna feel alive
outside, i can't fight my fear
without even realizing i was there. i saw mike and his friends again. they were bickering about something. then i saw them. troy and james. the bullies of this school. such dickheads. i saw them walking towards mike and the others. i heard troy's rough voice.
"which one would make more money for being a freak? midnight, frog face, toothless or faggot?". i was absolutely disgusted by his words. i walked towards them then got in front of them. "cut it out troy." i snapped. he stepped closer to me then snarled "what are you gonna do if i don't, singing prostitute?". i felt myself shaking. oh no, don't be afraid. i felt anger spreading through my body. i stepped closer then muttered "i will ruin you. don't ever come near those boys ever again.". troy chuckled then bumped into me while walking away with james. i calmed down then let out a deep breath. will spoke "thank you madison. we appreciate it.". i smiled then said "you're welcome. i hate it when he bullies people. it's so unnecessary.". mike said "yeah. he makes fun of will the most. for being bisexual.". i let out an 'aww' then held will's shoulder. i spoke "don't you ever worry about that. there's nothing wrong with being bi. love whoever you love. if he does anything, tell me first." then winked before walking away.

if "i love you" was a promise, would you break it?Where stories live. Discover now
