Cyrus wasn't a normal boy. People either avoided him at all costs or they bullied him. He couldn't tell why his bullies bullied him but he didn't like it. He never gave the satisfaction to the bullies that they wanted. Even though they would beat him up and mock him, he had an Indifferent expression every time.
Cyrus didn't have any friends and most times just wandered around the school... he never hung out with anyone because nobody wanted to be by him.. not even pair up with him in projects... and he was a social outcast. He didn't mind not having friends though, he hated people. He hated people with all of his heart...
Cyrus got picked on which only served his hatred. He knew he was different but he couldn't bring himself to care. He had no friends to judge him if they knew him, so why would it be his problem? Cyrus never got along with people anyway. At school Cyrus was different from others, he acted differently.... Looked differently.. His hair was chocolate brown like his eyes. Whenever Cyrus went somewhere, school or out in public he wore casual clothing. He never bothered to dress up, why look good?
There's no point in trying, he thought. Another reason Cyrus got bullied was because he had vitiligo skin. It caused disgust which led to the main reason why he's being bullied. He had pale fair skin with light brown patches all over his body. His brown patches of skin on his body had the same color as his freckles. His freckles were scattered across his light pale cheeks. Cyrus was only fourteen which meant he was a freshman. It was in the middle of the school year though.
It never surprised him when people thought he was probably younger either. He looked nine or ten at most, and would get weird looks from his fathers friends when his father introduced him to them. The only reason Cyrus looked nine or ten was because he was super short. He also looked fragile and younger than his actual age and appearance.
Cyrus's home life wasn't any different than his school life. His dad was an alcoholic since his mother did suicide when he was 2. Most of his dad's friends were also alcoholics. Whenever his dad would introduce his friends when they came over, his friends would look horrible... And was horrible.. Most of them were sex offenders others just wanting to drown their sorrows.
Cyrus didn't do well in school either, he had mostly C's or D's. At least he didn't get all F's like last year in 8th grade.. He thought... Cyrus never paid attention to his classes. He just wasn't interested enough to participate. He was smart, he just wasn't smart in school. Cyrus could find his way through things easily, he could solve things easily too. Cyrus's father, Richard on the other hand wasn't smart at all which caused Richard to lose his jobs easily. Richard was 38 and was a humble man. He just was an alcoholic.
