Chapter 4 - Chapter 4: The boy

While walking to school, I saw this other kid I didn't know his name but he was being pushed up against a wall while with three other guys about to throw rocks at him. I got close but not to close, at least they couldn't see me while I watched. The three boys was your typical group. Ones the leader, ones the smart one, and ones completely stupid...As if they all weren't. But as the leader got his fist up to punch the boy, I stepped in just in time to stop his fist from punching his face. His fist was about 2 inches away from the boy's face. They all gave me a look as if I was an alien. I stared at them back with no expression. "Who the hell are you" the idiot with the fist asking while yanking his fist back out of my hand. I didn't answer, all I did was roundhouse all 3 of their faces and took the boy and ran away as far as we could. We went into an Alley way and hide on one of the sides of a dumpster. All three were idiots enough to chase after us after they got kicked in the face. After they took a wrong turn and got lost I went along with my day and started heading to school. It was only 7:15am so I had 15min to get to school. If I walked it would take about 25min so I had to run. He started following so I figured he went to the same school. Once I was inside of the school I got to class straight away. It was hard not thinking about that boy that I helped. 3hours later was lunch period. I wasn't hungry so I went to the library to do something to get my mind off of him. I didn't like him but it was weird. I couldn't stop thinking about him. I heard someone open the library doors so I decided that I needed to get out of the library. I realized it was those three idiots so I really needed to get out of there. The library was a large rectangle room, about 30-40 feet long and 15-20 feet wide. There were 2 sets of double doors of each side and one door on one other side so I had a pretty good chance I just need to sneak my way out. I got out safely without them seeing me. I went to next period, I could've ditched school but I was too lazy to walk back to that shack. After school that boy tried following me back to the shack but I ignored him and ran back.

It was about 1 in the morning and I was hungry so snuck out to go get some food from the gas station, I saw that he was there too but he was coming out of the bathroom. As soon as I bought my food I dashed out of the gas station and ran back. I got the roof and had some snacks while listening to music as the cool breeze goes through my hair. I laid there an the roof wishing it could be like this forever, you know... snacks and listening to music while the cool breeze goes through my hair, this is nice... but my bliss was interrupted by rattling of a trash can. I sat up as fast as I could and took my swiss army knife out. I waited a few moments when I saw a hand on the edge of the roof. It was the boy trying to get up here. I backed away slowly as he came up on the roof, he kinda freaked out to the point where I had to cover his mouth to make him stop screaming. I mean really, he was scared of a swiss army knife... what a wimp, no wonder he didn't stop those three idiots. Anyway I asked why the hell is he here, turns out he just wanted to say thank you. But really, in the middle of the damn night. He couldn't tell me the next day? But anyways he told me he was new too and why he was. Sounded a lot like my story but only a couple of details were different, I didn't think too much of it all I know was that there's a boy on the roof with me and I was hungry and I had snacks. So I told him to go home because it was about 2 in the morning and it was ridiculous for him to be up here with me. So after he went home, I finished my snacks and went back down to go to sleep. Today was kinda weird.
