I introduce to you Abused, Limp, Hurt! Jack. Whooho! Review if you want more and if you want pancakes!
Fragments of the sky watched the group that filled the cafeteria with joyful laughter in confusion. Jack didn't personally know the members of the group nor did he fathom what was so glorious about this lifeless day. Their math teacher had given fifty sheets of homework, the lunch lady had fed them a repulsive slop in which Jack could have sworn moved, and yet the group strolled with a bounce in their step and a smile plastered on their faces. More cheerful laughter nestled inside of the lonesome boy's ears. "
"Laughter isn't allowed in the presence of darkness."
Jack tore his gaze from the group and began to embark on his journey outside. There was no reason, after all, for Jack to stay in the cafeteria if no one even bothered to speak to him. Once Jack reached his destination, he collapsed onto the snow and glared at the offending sky. The sky seemed so bright and clear, while Jack's similar hued eyes seemed…shadowy and stormy. Jack's mind then wandered back to the group, "Why are they so happy? Why do their lips become a strange arch….a smile they call it."
A voice interrupted Jack's glaring,
"Hi..."
Surprised eyes jumped towards the owner of the voice. A beautiful girl and three other boys stood in front of the suddenly nervous boy. It was the same group that Jack was observing. The anxious Jack swiftly sat up from the snow and blinked slowly at the group.
Why do they smile so much? What is there to be so happy about? Darkness is everywhere, and laughter isn't allowed in the presence of darkness.
The loudly dressed girl handed him his beloved notebook and sent him a burning bright smile.
"You dropped this…. What's your name?"
Jack quickly snatched his beloved notebook from her delicate hands and held it to his chest, watching the group with suspicious eyes. The girl smiled, "Don't worry we didn't read any of it."
A boy with silky grey hair, despite his young age, snapped in a heavy Australian accent,
"Oi, I'm hungry Tooth," He then turned to the new stranger and asked in annoyance, "What's your name, mate?"
Jack opened his mouth and a single letter which was multiplied by his nervous stuttering was all that escaped from his lips, "J…-J-J.."
Aster tilted his head in confusion and aggravation, "Is it James? Jared?"
The stuttering other shook his head and closed his eyes, sweltering tears slowly beginning to gather. The girl frowned and spoke softly, "My name is Toothina…"
Another voice piped in cheerfully, "Name is North new friend"
Friend?
The Australian voice from earlier muttered, "Aster."
Jack slowly opened his eyes as Toothina finished the introductions,
"And lastly, this little guy is Sandy. He's a mute, "she stated as she ruffled a chubby boy's golden hair.
Jack timidly looked back down to the pure white snow and whispered shyly, "Jack."
Toothina nodded encouragingly and stated, "That's a nice name."
Jack lowered his awe-struck gaze and quickly gathered his belongings hastily and clumsily. Without even a wave of goodbye, Jack ran inside.
Aster growled, "Rude little show-pony. Didn't even say goodbye."
Tooth frowned, "Why is he so shy? When he first saw us, he almost seemed…scared."
North added thoughtfully with his trademark Russian accent, "He is hiding secret. I think his notebook should tell. I feel something bad in my gut."
Aster scowled, "And why the hell do we care?"
Tooth shrugged, "Because…Something is wrong with him..."
Aster replied carelessly, "Maybe he's just a weird freak with silver hair. Maybe there's a good reason why he has no friends."
Tooth answered, "Maybe…. But maybe he needs friends to look out for him."
As Jack ran towards the bathroom he began to ponder, "Why did they give me there names. Do they want to be….friends? No, No…he said that would never happen. He said I was a freak. He said that I would never be accepted….He was right.
Jack flung the door open and locked himself into a stall; sliding slowly to the grimy tiled floor. Breathe. Breathe. Breathe. He's not here. You're safe.
A voice nagged in the back of his conscious, "Liar. You're never going to be safe. He's everywhere. He's darkness. "
It could have been minuets, maybe hours until the dismissal bell sang. Jack ignored the sound and glared at the light above him. Jack wished that he could take the beaming light home. He wished that the light would battle and conquer darkness, so that darkness would never be seen again.
Jack wished to be safe.
After many minuets passed Jack cursed and ran out the bathroom muttering in panic, "He's going to kill me. He's going to..."
A voice shrieked, "OUCH!" And the two tumbled to the ground. Jack apologized and gasped as he realized it was Tooth.
"S-Sorry. I am so sorry."
Tooth shook her head and shrugged, "It's fine really…. Why are you in such a hurry? Who's going to kill you?"
StupidStupidStupidStupidStupid
Jack stuttered, "Um...I-I.. home."
Home? Or a burning Hell?
Tooth nodded in understanding, "Oh okay…..Are you in trouble? You never answered my last question."
Jack shook his head and forced a wry smile and Tooth gasped, "WHAT PERFECT TEETH! YOU MUST BRUSH THEM EVERY DAY! WHAT PERFECT HYGENIE!"
Jack shrugged off the slightly intrusive fingers and politely stated, "I really have to go…Goodbye."
With that Jack ran out the building, muttering to himself, "I'm going to die. I'm literally going to die. No, no I'm not going to die. I'm going to be punished"
And He's going to be behind the pitiless punches.
Tooth and North watched Jack stumble through the snow with haste, not caring if he dropped numerous books or pencils onto the frozen ground.
Tooth questioned, "What was I talking about with Jack before I was distracted with his teeth?" Suddenly the girl remembered how Jack was muttering about how someone was going to kill him, and how his attempted smile transformed into a grimace.
Tooth pulled her jacket tighter around her and treaded further into the freezing cold. North and Aster exchanged uneasy glances and attempted to reason with their friend. Aster stated with annoyance, "He's just a reclusive weirdo Tooth. He's bad business."
North reasoned, "Tooth I am worried also…but I don't think following is good idea."
In return Tooth wrapped her scarf tighter around her shivering frame and picked up her pace. Without a second to waste, the apprehensive North, the annoyed and shivering Aster and the concerned Sandy battled against the falling snow to follow their friend.
North yelled over the hissing wind, "Tooth! Tooth! We should head back, we lost him."
Aster growled while shivering, "Y-yeah a-and I c-c-an't feel m-my F-FEET!"
Tooth frowned and watched the snow continue to fall; the churning in her stomach grew more violent.
Something was going to happen. Something bad. Jack…
Sandy's golden eyebrows rose when he saw a peak of black in contrast to the fluffy white on the ground. The short teen sighed noiselessly as his friend Aster who fussed about how cold he was. Sandy then dropped to his knees and began to shovel through the snow, uncovering the item.
Aster questioned, "Oi, Sandy what are you doing?"
Sandy retrieved the item and Tooth gasped, "He dropped his notebook."
Aster shrugged, "So?"
North answered, "The notebook he held close to his heart when Tooth handed to him."
Tooth stated as fact, "We have to read it."
The Russian other shook his head, "No. That is wrong."
"Not if we are helping him by doing so," Tooth replied with her hands on her hips.
The gang stared at the radioactive notebook with hesitant eyes. For some reason, the notebook seemed important and meant to be unread.
North relented, "Fine we read…but for Jack's sake only. Anything we find stays in Jack's notebook. We tell no one and we return notebook after. Got it?"
The group then nodded. The deal was sealed.
Now one question rested on each of their minds: What have they gotten themselves into?
A/N Whoop! Any guesses of who HE is? Review if you want more! Spelling mistakes are not my fault… okay maybe a little. PS this is not going to be super angsty. I mean naturally im angsty but not rated M angsty ya know? SO t for no. worst will probably be language and physical abuse. (not going to be much blood either)
