THE PECULIAR

"Darkness"

Growing up, Ashton Fernando Tyler II  or Ash is a quiet kid, he enjoys being lonely, his only friend is his sister, Natalia. Ash is an intelligent student, he has Line of 9 every quarter, with strict parents on the side , he is not free and can only go outside if it's school day. Ash don't want to be a disappointment, that's why he is still in the closet and not coming out. Ash only likes to study and study and study and study.

Ash's PoV

I woke up from the knocks on my door 

"Ash open the door!"

It was Natalia, my sister

"Geez, wait" I got up and opened the door for her

"What happened?"

 She showed a picture through her phone it's blurry because I don't have glasses on, so I get it  on the desk

I can feel that she is staring at me. She is still on her pajama's, so it's important. When I looked at the phone my jaw dropped. 

I got shivers and look at Natalia.

"I-Is that Andrew?" She nodded making my tears drop from my eyes. My legs got weaker making me fall off the ground. 

wondering right? Well, Andrew is my High School bully that's why I am lonely all the the time and have no friends 

Natalia sat down in front of me 

"Ash, it's okay, he don't remember you and that's for sure"

Natalia wiped my tears then hugged me

"Why did you show a picture of him?" We broke the hug and she looked at my eyes. I can see the tears from her eyes 

"You promise me, not to freak out" I nodded and closed my eyes, hoping for a good news

"Well, he is the new student of the university and you will be his classmate" My jaw dropped. I quivered in fear. "I'm going to be alone again" I sobbed and went to my bed then lay down wondering how could he forget me my face, my name, my body, my glasses he will recognize me.

I'm tired of being alone, of being bullied by the whole school, I don't want to be in the darkness anymore, I want to be recognized, I don't want to be beaten up every single day. I will not show them my weakness. I will not be in the shadows no more. I didn't notice Natalia comes in my room. She looked at me and I looked at her

"Natalia"

She smiled  "Hmmm?"

"Please be here and don't leave me again"

A tear fell off my eyes and I touched her hand

The End                                                                                                                                                                                   I hoped you like it and read it all! Stay safe!
