As I look around I see the leaves falling all around me as if trying there hardest to get my attention. They are truly beautiful bursting with colors of red, yellow, brown and my favorite, the dark deep purple that almost looks black but not quite. Thats the thing about me I am really intrigued by dark things : the night, dark colors, cloudy and rainy days, gothic pictures, evil stories, and as you already know, the purple black leaves on the trees. You might be wondering why I’m describing all these things to you and its because you need to know my background to be able to understand this story. You see right now this is after the story i'm about to tell you happened and i'm going to explain the whole thing to you if you stick around long enough to listen. So here we go.
“Frank you need to get up! We are leaving in ten minutes!” Screamed my sister or at last thats what it sounded like.
“ughhh I don’t want to go back to that Hell hole!” I try and yell back but my morning voice makes it hard to yell
“That hell hole is called school and mom and dad would want you to go back. so please just get up.”
My mom and dad died in a car accident soon after we moved to Belleville New Jersey from Baltimore. We moved because at my old school I was bullied non stop by everybody because I am gay and “emo” ew i hate that word so much..We decided to move so that I could start over and hopefully get away from all the bullying or at least most of it.
I get ready as fast as possible and head out of the house for school even though i really don’t want to go. I am trying to be optimistic about this and saying to myself that things will be better this time, but soon enough my optimism was proven wrong when two guys probably around my age came up to me and started punching and kicking me. Great I haven't even made it to the school and i'm already being beaten on.
“Come here you faggot!”
“Ya get your scrawny ass over here you emo freak.”
Ugh that word again..
“Fuck you” i say back as i go to turn around
“Oh no you didn’t..you're dead gay boy!”
Oh shit what did i just get myself into? I run as fast as i could but it was hard to run without looking like a retard with a backpack on so i just ditched the bag all together. It was too late they already caught up to me and started kicking me and punching me and spitting in my face. I tried my best to fight back but i just wasn't strong enough. Damn my small body.
“Get the fuck off of him you assholes!” yelled a voice from behind the guys beating me
“Fuck off” yelled back one of the guys
Then before I knew it all the guys were on the ground looking worse than i probably did right now.
