Chapter 1 - Be my friend
My name's Simon. I am the only child in my family. My dad has a small company outside of town. My mom works as an accountant at the company near our house, but she always comes home late so I mostly left at home alone by myself. I tend to entertain myself with a phone or with a book. But not gonna lie I feel very lonely.
I have one friend his name is mark. I've known him since eighth grade. Don't get me wrong he's great. But I want something new. Something exciting like a lover.
Today is the first day of school. After a long lonely summer, I will finally be able to meet people.
I excitedly, step into my car, and hit the gas. I haven't gone out of the house for weeks. It's good to see the town after some time. Not that there's many to see, Highvillie known for its big white houses but feels like a ghost town to me. No one interacts with each other.
The school I go to is not that far from my house, Highvillie highschool. The only lively place in this town.
When I went to the school hall I immediately search for Mark. I haven't seen him all summer because he went to French. I have searched for him all over the crowd but I couldn't find him so I give him a call. He said he'll be late so I should go on without him. Typical.
As I walked my way to my first class in the middle of the crowd I bump into a guy and make him fall to the ground. "I'm so sorry I didn't see you," I apologize as I help him to stand up. The guy's hand was so cold and pale like snow in December. He quickly walked away from me. I have never seen him before. I don't even know his name, so I ran to him. "Hi, my name is Simon. What's yours?" I introduce myself.
"My name is f**k off," He said sarcastically.
"That's a strange name..."
"No, you f**k off," the guy said, then walk faster to avoid me.
And I just stand there watching him as he goes. Well, that was unpleasant. I try to think about it later and look for my class, History.
I walk around the school to find my class after a long minute I finally found it. When I walk in there's already a lot of people inside. But there's only one person who catches my eyes the "f**k off" guy, playing with his phone with an AirPods in his ears.
I want to approach him but I see no use. He'll probably just shut me right away. So I walked past him. And I sat behind his left. Not long after the teachers come in. He asked us to introduce ourselves one by one.
When it's my turn everyone starts pointing their few to me. "Hi, my name is Simon Sander, you can call me Simon," I said to the class. That guy takes a glance at me and lets out a sigh. At a first glance, you might think that he's a jerk but there's something about him that attracted me. He has this get black hair. He wears a black shirt and black jeans and he has pale skin so pale that I can see his blue vain around his neck.
It's finally his turn, I listen carefully "My name is Kenny Truston, you can call me Kenny." Kenny...
It's still the first day so all we do was watching a WWI movie. The class went bye fast. Next, I got math. I don't hate it, I'm just not good at it. As the bell rang we all exit the room. And I saw Kenny walking alone way ahead of me. Okay...let's try that again.
"Kenny wait!" I scream loud enough to make him shrug.
"What do you want?" He said, still continuing his walk.
"Let's be friends," I smile beamingly.
"No!"
"Why?"
"I don't even know you," he makes his point
"Yes, you do. My name is Simon and you're-"
"Just because we knew each other name does not mean we can be friends," he said then walk faster to avoid me for the second time.
I got left standing alone again. I let out a sigh. And walked into my class. As I walk I realize that Kenny and I are heading in the same direction. But I don't think more into it. I walked silently behind him trying not to creep him out. He then walked into the room 0058, the same room as mine.
I quickly ran into him, and stand beside him. "Look, we have the same class," I grinned. He looks at me annoyed and walks inside. I sat behind him, so it's easier if I want to talk to him. But turn out we're not even talking to each other for the rest of the class. The teacher only reviewing the last year's subject. It was so boring. But at least I can sit behind him for some time now.
When the class ended I immediately try to catch up to him but someone is getting in my way. It was Mark "Wanna have lunch?" He asked with his hand around my shoulder.
"Yeah...sure," I answered- not really paying attention to what he's saying.
"You okay?" He asked. But I didn't respond. I'm trying to find Kenny in the crowd. "SIMON!" He screams in my ear. I then give him my attention "You okay?"
"Yeah," I answered and follow him to the cafeteria.
