Friendship Is TRULY Magic - HiE Story

Here we go again, another day at this hellish school. I hated that place with a passion, but I still needed a good education, and I guess better grades. Ever since the divorce, I've been trying to keep my mom happy, and feeling safe, considering the fact that she had thoughts of killing herself. But grade wise, it's been a continuous downhill, F after F. Now, Im not a bad kid, or a drop out, but I had better things to do anyway. Either bring my grades up, or lose my mother.

My sister was with her boyfriend so I had to take the bus. I don't mind the bus, but I'm used to riding solo on the country roads. Although I can't drive yet, I still take my 4 wheeler out once in a while. Feeling the cool fall breeze in my ears gave me a smile. Man, why do we have to move?

The thoughts came short as the bus squealed to a stop in front of the high school. I got out, looking at the spot the football team had pummeled me. I shivered and walked on, leaving the spot behind.

Class after class after class. Finally I had some free time to stop at my locker. Walking toward it, I saw a group of people with fake, innocent looks on their face by it.

My old friends.

Andy was the first to speak.

"Oh man, dude were so sorry about laughing at you yesterday." Said Andy.

"Y-yeah." added Ricky. "We were just trying to fit in with the crowd. It is highschool ya know?"

"Wow, Because it is highschool, you have to act like jerks and stab me in the dang back?!" I said fiercely. That shut them up. Good. They needed a reality check.

"Next time, when you've known someone as long as me, especially since I was your friend, Don't betray them. Such a dick move." I added, walking off.

These, friends, saying they treated me like dirt because its HIGHSCHOOL?! What the hell!? I have known them since grade school, sharing lunches, saying what we would do this weekend, asking what we got on tests and laughing friendly at each other if we failed it. Like my normal life, those good memories were again...lost.

The final bell finally rang. Actually, its not even a bell, its an annoying alarm that goes off on the intercom. But anyway, I never went to my locker after I saw my old friends, so I had to run there and get my Algebra book. But on my way there, I was approached, again. The empty, new paint smelled hallway barley fit the...football team. Staring at me, those daggered eyes. Evil smiles soon brewing. My heart stopped, then dropped into my stomach. If they did what they did out in the parking lot yesterday, who knows what they would do today.

"Aye, Marty, look who we got here." said Davis, the runningback.

"Yeah man, what the hell ya doin' here?" hissed Randall, the lineman.

"Look guys, I don't want nothing. I came to get my book and leave. So you guys just back off." I replied. But as soon as those words left my mouth, I regret each one.

"You aren't going anywhere." Said Aston.

The quarterbacks words haunted me. I was unsure what they would do to me, but I did NOT want to find out. I took my last lucky strike, and ran.

Sprinting, legs soon becoming tired, but still pushing. I had the team on me, runni-no. Sprinting. I had no IDEA what they wanted! But I didnt care, my only thought was, "BE LIKE RAINBOW, SPRINT LIKE THE RAINBOOM."

The schools backway doors were in my sight, faster, faster, FASTER. These guys were gaining on me, even faster.

Not even thirty feet away. Legs burning, heart pumping, thoughts racing. The doors were in my grasp. "I MADE IT!" I cried, successfully.

Reaching outward, touching the cold, metal bar. Pushing it forward, seeing the outsid-

Something touched my leg, and prevented me from going anymore. It was, ASTON! He jumped! HOW?!

THUD. I fell to the floor, heart racing, gasping for breath. But soon, Davis and Randall were on me, again.

I heard Aston say the worst words in my life soon after the chase,

"You are about to get the WORST beating of your life..."
