Teacher Gerard

I put my head phones on and turned on my music as loud as I could trying to block out the world around me. All I want to do is go back to my old home to my old friends. I pulled down my sleeve and pulled at my clothes. Damn, the urge to cut is insanely strong right now. It's an addiction I've had ever since I was twelve when my best friend committed suicide. I couldn't handle not going on without her so I thought cutting would end it, well it didn't.
I lowered my head and walked a little faster not caring where I was going, I just had to leave. That's when I ran straight into someone knocking me to the ground. When I looked up I realized that he was around my age or maybe a year older. He was tall with blonde hair and hazel eyes.

He reached out a hand to help me up, "I'm really really sorry about that."

"Don't worry about it."

He shifted his weight obviously trying not to be awkward, "I'm Mikey by the way," he smiled.

"I'm Ophelia, I just moved in down the street," I pointed behind me.

"That's cool, my brother and I heard about you guys moving in. You going to go to the high school up here?"

I nodded, "Yeah I'm gonna start my senior year."

"Same here, we may have the same classes together actually. Were you going some where? It seemed like you were in like a hurry."

I laughed, "No I was just trying to get away from the parents actually."

"Makes sense, mind if I join?"

I shook my head and we continued walking. I actually found out a lot about him! He apparently lives two blocks down from us and has similar taste in music!

"So you're in a band?"

Mikey smiled, "Yeah I'm the bassist. I mean right now we are just kind of playing in our basement as like a little thing to do but I hope it takes off."

I smiled and had to calm myself down a bit, "I love the bass! I also am seriously in love with rhythmic guitars!"

"Well the rhythmic guitarist's name is Frank, he's about your height actually. I'm sure we'll have a class with him tomorrow as well. Oh! If you want, since you're new to the neighborhood, I could drive you to the school early and show you around."

I smiled, "That'd be great actually thanks!"

I started to walk back into my house before I heard him call out "I like your hair!"
