CHRUB: The Beginning
Chapter 1: Irrational
It was one of those days where you wish that it never happened and that you knew you were going to be punished for. Collin Reeves sat in his usual place for lunch, outside the school library next to his small group of friends. But that never stopped bullies picking on him or that he had a bad temper.
Two beefy boys came his way, making all the other youngsters shy away and move as far away as possible. However Collin never saw them, nor did his friend Victor who was sitting next to him. "The American duck and his friend the English Goose," The meaner looking one said. He was about sixteen, tall and stocky with one of those faces you'd rather not see. Collin looked up to see the three ugly mugs that would bully him and his friends day to day, dusk till dawn.
"You're sitting in our seats boys, I suggest you move." The second one said with a smug smile on his lips. Normally Collin wouldn't reply, he'd just get as far away from them. But the smug smile on the bully's face caused him to be defiant. "No you don't, you eat in the
canteen." Collin pointed out as Victor tried to pull him away. Of course the bullies were getting angry because the first one pulled Collin by his collar and pushed him against the wall. "What was that Reeves?" the bully defied him to continue. "I said that you always sit in the canteen." Collin defied and spat him in the face, covering the older lad's eyes and nose.
The bully then slammed Collin into the ground and spat at him, making his friends laugh at the gravel covered boy. The bully then turned away and decided to pick on someone else. But before he knew it he was faced down in the pavement with a mouthful of gravel. Collin had managed to trip the boy up.
The other two bullies quickly ganged up on Collin and pushed him onto the ground, before both had been tripped up and smashed into the pavement. Collin quickly sent his left foot out and slammed it into the nearest bullies head and said. "Leave me alone or you'll get much more than that." and stormed off.
He didn't know where he would go and could tell that he wasn't welcome here anymore, especially when he had knocked three older students out in front of both teachers and students, he couldn't stay at school, but he couldn't go home, his dad would be there. This left Collin no choice.
He quickly escaped the school as fast as he could without being seen by a teacher. He ducked and weaved between students until he came to the main exit that was never closed. Collin then took off his blazer, jumper and school tie and quickly stuffed it in his bag and pulling out a blue polo shirt and pulled it above his head and his school shirt.
Collin then jogged the small distance between his house and the school, unaware of being followed. Collin then quickly ran down the alley between his house and his neighbour's and climbed his back gate before jumping down and running towards the back door.
Collin then picked out the hairpin inside his trousers pocket and slipped it into the keyhole. He moved the pin about before the door clicked and let him inside. Collin could see his dad passed out on the sofa holding a can of beer and facing the small TV screen. The house reeked of tobacco and booze but Collin didn't mind as he quietly sprinted up to his room that he shared with his brother Ted.
Collin then quickly dropped all the contents of his schoolbag on the floor, however picked his school jumper, lunch box and trainers back up. Collin quickly grabbed some t-shirts, trousers, shorts and jumpers and pushed them into his backpack. He grabbed his mobile that was sitting on his windowsill. He had bought it yesterday just in case he needed it.
Next to his mobile was his oyster card and IPod. He quickly snatched them all up and stuffed them into his bag. Collin then went over to his piggy bank and emptied it of all the money that he had saved up since Ted had started being beaten by his father. Collin then stopped it was lunch time and his brother was being sent home early today, in about half an hour. He couldn't leave Ted here in the hands of his father, that'd be cruel and what's more Ted would be punished, he didn't want that for his baby brother.
Collin then ran over to where Ted's clothes were kept and quickly pulled out another bag from behind the draws. He then began stuffing it with clothes and then went over to Ted's shelf above his bed and quickly grabbed Ted's iPod, books and DS and his games and stuffed them into the bag. Collin then quickly went over to Ted's piggy bank and stuffed the money inside Ted's bag.
