The bus is always the worst time of day, All of the Freaks would sit in the back, the popular kids would sit in the middle and the nerds sat in the front. It was close to the winter wonderland dance and new kid, Alex was not looking forward to it. He sat down next to the other emo kids, they cut themselves and talked about there favorite bands. He layed back and sighed, "Hey, I like your hair." some one said to him. He had that swoopy emo cut hair and electric blue dyed strands on each side of his head. His hair was a dark brown color, and his eyes were green. He was wearing a black button up, and a pair of black work boots. He had on a simple pair of black jeans with chains that crossed on the back. He also wore some simple eye liner "Oh, thanks." he said sinking in his seat. He never smiled but sometimes he half smiled. He would only cut himself when he was hurt. He wasn't had never had a girl friend, or have been to a party, he has never kissed a girl or even liked a girl. One by one the buses would drop off kids, Alex tried not to stand out and tried not to fit in. He swayed through the crowd of teenagers and made his way to his locker. "Hey Emo shit." some one said from behind him. Alex turned around to see a crowd of big jocks blocking his way. He sighed as they shoved him in his locker and slammed the door. He waited in the dimness of the light until some one came by. "Are you ok?" some one asked knocking on the locker. "Uh, I guess so." he said rolling his eyes. "What's your combination?" she asked. "5-15-12." he said as she turned the lock. He waved to the girl as he stepped out from his locker. "I'm Raini. I know you probably don't want to be friends but I'm actually pretty ok." she said smiling. She was wearing a cheerleader outfit and pigtails. She had a lip piercing, tounge piercing, and her ears were a little stretched. She had rainbow hair and wore a chocker. "Oh, no I don't care." He said. She smiled, "My mom made me try out for something to prove that I'm worth something." she said frowning. "My mom is very abusive and my aunt is a slut, just like my mom. They drink constantly." he said to make her feel better. "You seem like you come for a normal family." she laughed. "Do you have any brothers?" she asked him, he shook his head no. "Well that's the bell, who do you have for home room?" he asked flipping his hair. "I usually skip home room." she said. He shrugged as she left out the side door that lead to the courtyard. He followed her outside, "Hey can I come too?" He asked waving. She walked up to him. "Well, depends." She said teasing him. She smiled and he thought. That was interrupted by a teacher, "Hey! Should be in home room." He shouted running towards them as they ran away in to the forest.
