So Long and Goodnight, Frank

I get up off of the floor and wipe the blood off of my face. That was no worse than he's done before, I just don't like coming up with excuses to the teachers about my bruises because I don't want him to get mad at me for telling. I'm a junior anyway so I only have one more year of the lies and the abuse then I can leave for good.
I grab my bag and head out the door and jog to school since I missed the bus.
I got to school two minutes after the bell rang so, as usual, I had to make up some lame fucking excuse as to why I was so late. I told the teacher that my alarm didn't wake me up on time. Not a very good lie, but it worked.
The bell rang and I walked out of the classroom to go to second period. I went and sat at my desk in the back of the room as a new kid walked in. It wasn't unusual for somebody new to arrive, but for some reason this guy caught my eye.
He was perfect. He had the brightest green eyes I've ever seen. He had black shoulder length hair, just like mine, but it was fringed and framed his face perfectly. Don't even get me started on his tattoos and piercings.
Who am I kidding? I'm sure he has a girlfriend back home or something. I have no chance at all. " Class, this is our new student- Frank Iero."
