Chapter one

I remember when we first met…

I slumped against my locker, tears running down my face. I felt my eyeliner drip down my chin, landing in a small black puddle on the floor. I pounded my fist against the locker before turning around. I slid downwards, slumping in a pile on the ground. I rapped my arms around my knees and cried. My body shook with tears.

It was about half an hour after school had ended, I had been hiding that whole time. I sat there for a bit, shaking lightly with each breath. "I hate my life!" I screamed through the empty hall, swinging my arm in aggravation. My hand hit something. Maybe the hall wasn't so empty after all…

I looked up at what I had hit. There at the locker beside mine was a boy, his eyes were gentle and welcoming. His tousled red hair looked messy yet purposeful. He was looking at me. I froze under his expressionless gaze. "S- S- Sorry…" I stuttered out. He closed his locker. "What's wrong with you?" He asked me, his voice was like silk, but it had no feeling behind it… "N- N- Nothing…" I said as I wiped away a tear with the back of my hoodie sleeve. He slid down beside me. "Come on that's an obvious lie…" He stated. I smirked. "Alright that's true…" I said with a slight laugh. The edge of his lip curled up slightly into a smirk.

"Why did you say you hate your life?" He asked after a second. I turned towards him, a bit too quickly I guess because my hair whipped him in the face. He didn't seem unfazed though. I mumbled an apology before I looked at the floor a few feet in front of my feet. "I guess because everyone is such a dick." I said coldly. He seemed to chuckled at that but I didn't understand why. "What's so funny about that?" I questioned. "Oh nothing…" He said simply, waving away the question.

I slumped over in my spot grumbling. "Hey…" He said gently, placing a hand on my shoulder. I turned towards him, I'd started crying at some point. I wiped away a tear. "Life may suck now… But it can always get better… You just don't know what fate might bring you…" He said reassuringly. I nodded slightly smiling at him.

"Thanks…" I said as I stood up. I grabbed my bag from my locker and started to leave. I had a warm feeling within me and I gripped to that feeling…
