Why must I love the people that hate me so much?
" You really believe any girl would even look in your direction. You'd got to be crazy to think that ....Oh right ." He stopped as if he just realized something then the whole class laughed at his stupid joke.
"Today marks the day that you will become known as the craziest bastard in history. From this day forward your new name is PsycHOE . Fucking Pervert " Bryan slapped me in my face and blood went flying as I fell over , crashing to the floor with my chair and I whinced in pain.
The school bell rang and I watched Carmen and Mellissa leave with Bryan as if nothing happened.
I wonder what it's like to be equal ?
What does it mean to be Human ?
I left the class and headed towards the nurse's office.
Carmen didn't even care that I was hurt.
" You're Bleeding!" A girl with British accent exclaimed as she walked quickly towards me , she had dark skin and an afro. Her hair bounced as she moved towards me.
"What happened? " She asked and I couldn't ignore the genuine concern that I heard in her voice.
" Are you new here ? " I asked and she nodded.
" Today's my first day in College and I never expected to see a cute boy with a bloddy nose walking by himself in the hall."
" You think I'm cute ?? " I asked shocked as i turned to stare at the dark -skinned girl as my cheeks became red.
She just smiled and I tried to hide my excitement.
"Well It's not like I had an option I just don't have any friends."
" Really ? Well you can lean on me. " The girl said as she pulled me closer to her and gave my arm a squeeze.
"My name's LUNA what's your name ? "
" It's Albert. " I muttered under my breath. I didn't really like my name.
"You mean like Einstein? Cool ! So why'd I hear people calling you Psycho ?"
" Wait you heard THAT ? " I asked, feeling shocked and embarrassed.
She let go of my arm and folded her arms across her chest as she furrowed her eyebrows at me.
" What ? Was I not supposed to ? "
"No. It's just a nickname." I lied and she continued walking beside me until we got to the nurse's office.
Luna sat down in the nurse's office and waited for me as I got my wound treated.
The nurse was an older woman with black hair that had grey roots. It was obvious that she kept dying her hair and she wore long red nails that stood out in a professional setting.
After the nurse treated me she said I could go home for the day.
" Excuse me. Is this boy your friend? " The nurse spoke to Luna and the girl smiled as she saw me walk back into the room.
Is a girl really smiling this big for me ?
" Yes he's mad cool." Luna said and for the first time a word like " mad " didn't bother me . Her voice was like a warm blanket that could comfort me on a cold winter and her words were like a reassuring embrace.
"Ok make sure he gets some rest and please keep him from getting into any more fights. " The nurse said and Luna's eyes widened and her smile disappeared.
" You were in a fight ?" She turned to me then she got up out of the chair.
I tried to make up an excuse but Luna pulled me out before I could make myself seem more foolish.
" I'll see you tomorrow PsycHoe . I mean . Can I call you PsycHoe or do you only give that privilege to close friends ."
It's fine. " I said trying not to put a wall between me and this kind girl who didn't seem to understand how much of a loser I was yet.
"See you tomorrow Luna ." I said and she went back to her classes as I headed home.
As soon as I entered my house the lights came on and I saw my mom sitting in the living room with a disappointed look on her face.
"You're cousin told me you were in a fight ." Mom said , her lips pressed into a thin line.
" Oh my gosh.Not this again. Why is Anthony always blabbing to you. I wasn't in a fight mom. Bryan punched me in my face. "
" So he just got up and punched you .....for nothing ? "
" I wrote a dumb note it's no big deal ."
"So you wrote a note about Bryan ?" Mom asked and I didn't want to talk about it.
"No i wrote it about a girl and he saw it." I told her and she raised an eyebrow questioningly.
"Can we make this the day when you actually believe what i say ?" I asked frustratedly as I took my bag off and sat on the couch.
"Ok Bryan is evil and he bullied you for nothing." Mom said sarcastically and I felt angry and sad all at once.
" When are you going to realize that not everyone likes me ? He bullied me , Mom. Is it that hard to believe ?"
I got up immediately and went upstairs to my room.
Why doesn't she ever understand? Kids get bullied all the time why is it so hard to believe when I say it. You'd think she'd believe in her own son.
I threw myself on my bed and looked up at the Superhero poster that was attached to my ceiling.
I used to wish I was a Super Hero when I was younger but now I'm in college and I don't even fantasize about being a Super human hero anymore because I was too busy trying to be Human.
My room was covered with posters of heros from comic books and I had a lava lamp by my bedside.
I almost fell asleep but then I got a text from Anthony.
' Get down here now or else '
My phone beeped and I groaned frustratedly.
" Why does Anthony want to make my life a living hell ?" I groaned as I put a hoodie on and got up.
I went back downstairs to see Anthony and ulder.
