Just so you know -- This is a songfic using Caught in the Crowd by Kate Miller-Heidke
A/N -- The songs says the guys name is James but I changed it for my story which I feel I should point out is my first ever story
Disclaimer -- Anything here that you recognise doesn't belong to me... obviously
There was a guy at my school
When I was in high school
Hi. I'm Bombalurina and this is a story about the biggest mistake I've ever made...
We'd ride side by side in the morning on our bicycles
Never even spoken or faced each other
But on the last hill we'd race each other
He was the only person I could rely on and I betrayed him
When we reached the racks we'd each go our own way
I wasn't in his classes, I didn't know his name
Of course at first all I relied on him for was to race me down that hill... but he always did
When we finally got to speak he just stared at his feet
And mumbled a sentence that ended with 'James'
His name was Macavity and the day he told me changed us forever. We relied on each other for more than a race down the hill
I was young and caught in the crowd
I didn't know then what I know now
I was dumb, and I was proud
And I'm sorry
If I could go back do it again
I'd be someone you could call friend
Please please believe that I'm sorry
I'm sorry
Well he was quite a big guy, kinda shy and quiet
When the kids called him weird he didn't try to deny it
Every lunchtime he'd spend walking by himself
Round the boundary of the grounds til he heard the bell
Those jerks were the reason he stayed by himself and became the Napoleon of Crime today... and I hate to say it but I was the other reason
Well one day I found him, joined him on his walk
We were silent for a while until we started to talk
I told him my family were fighting in court
He said his step-dad and him always fought
I had found a great friendship with him. I could tell him anything and I knew he felt the same way about me.
We talked about music, he was into punk
Told me all the bands that I liked were junk
I said I'd never heard the songs the sex pistols sang
I laughed back at him and then the bell rang
It was like that every lunchtime. We would talk about everything... happy or sad. Then the bell would break into the time we spent together and separate us again.
I was young and caught in the crowd
I didn't know then what I know now
I was dumb, and I was proud
And I'm sorry
If I could go back do it again
I'd be someone you could call friend
Please please believe that I'm sorry
I'm sorry
It was after school in the afternoon
The corridors were crowded as we came out of the rooms
Three guys I knew pushed him into the cement
Threw away his bag and said he had no friends
At the time he hadn't realised I was standing there and I was glad because he was weak enough without seeing break into pieces every time they called him names. We both knew he was stronger than that but it didn't seem like it at the time.
He yelled that he did and he looked around
Tried getting up but they pushed him on down
That's when he saw me, called out my name
And then I made the move that ended everything that we had been before
And I turned my back, and just walked away
Yeah I turned my back, and just walked away
I was young and caught in the crowd
I didn't know then what I know now
I was dumb, and I was proud
And I'm sorry
If I could go back, do it again
I'd be someone you could call friend
Please please, believe that I'm sorry.
Please please, believe that I'm sorry.
Please please, believe that I'm sorry.
