So I'm just sitting there in science class when Emily kicks my seat. I turn around and she’s got the biggest smirk on her face. She waited a minute and then just about screamed “Watch Dion?” I jumped and she laughed as usual. I get scared easily by loud noises when I’m edgy. So I said “Science work. After all we are in Science. Why arena’t you doing yours?” “ I don’t feel like it.” I just shrugged and went back to work. I thought “OK, so those two combine to make that, so those two must make that. Wait, that dozen’t make any sense.” I could feel Emily about to kick my seat again so I shipped around and yelled “What do you want child!” That time she jumped. So she said “Well, I just wanted to know if I could borrow a pencil is all.” “Oh, well, you did’t need to kick my seat.” I flung the pencil down on her desk after making all the noise I could to fish for it in my bag. When I turned around the entire class was watching me. 2
As I merged into the hall I knew I was in for a blast. She’d flip out on me for embarrassing her “and making me look like a fool in front of the entire class. Do you know what something like that could do to a person’s reputation? Do you have a single clue?” “Nope and I’d never like to.” “Well, that’s why no one else will be your friend, let alone be seen with you…….Your an embarrassment.” “I’d rather be that then a beggar.” “A beggar! Who are you calling a beggar? You would get on your knees and plead for the slightest glimpse of attention.” “And you saying you stand for something when you’d fall for the smallest bit of fame is that much better?” “You know what, I don’t care anymore. You can go off on your own now. Just go!” So I went and never came back.3
I ran away from school where everyone hated me and I ran from the supposed shelter of a broken home. The only thing I did’t realize I was running from was this boy I knew way back when. It was to far back to remember and to soon to ever be forgotten. I Haydn’t talked to him in ages but I found myself staring at him and just letting my mind wander about the room. The thing I did’t realize was he was staring right back. 4
So days came and went. I spent most of my time under this bridge that’s about mile and a half from my house. I’d sneak in while everyone was away. They probably knew from the food that was constantly missing. I had brought some blankets, bug spray and one of my brother’s knives. It was the easiest one for me to handle. I had gone in his room plenty of other times while he was away so I had practice. He always left them in the same drawer. I’ll always remember that time I went in there and their was blood on one of the blades. That was the only one I never touched. I waited until he left it out one day so I could go in their to ask a question and just happen to notice. When I did he told me it was nothing and I never saw it if anyone asked.5
