Atrophy: Part 1
"Trish, let's go, we have to get going and I'm not going to be late again because of you." Trish's mother said grabbing Trish's arm and dragging her out to the car.
"Ow, mom you're hurting me." She replied, pulling out of her mother's grasp and rubbing the now sore spot on her arm.
"Shut the fuck up and get your ass in the fucking car."
Trish obeyed her mother without saying another word and got into the car.
As they were driving, Trish leaned forward in the passenger's seat and turned on the radio to her favorite radio station 103.1. When she put on the radio her mother slapped her.
"I don't want that fucking shitty music on MY radio!" Her mother yelled. "Since when have I said that you can touch my stuff you stupid bitch?!"
Trish sighed and turned it off, "Sorry." She mumbled quietly, looking out the car window not saying another word to her mom.
Ten Minutes Later
When they arrived at Trish's school and she started to get out, her mother grabbed her arm and pulled her back.
"Do NOT come back home until five o'clock today. If you come home before that then you WILL regret it. Got it?" She's warned.
Trish shook her head yes, and when her mother let go of her arm she quickly got out of the car and walked directly into the school.
She walked to her locker and pulled out her Chemistry notebook, book, and binder and walked to class.
Chemistry
As class started everyone was doing the work they were assigned.
Jay Reso looked around the room and laughed quietly, "Dude, where's Randy?" He asked his friend AJ Styles.
AJ laughed as well and answered, "Probably either slept late again or he's skipping school again."
"I don't think he'd be skipping again, because last time he skipped his mom said that if he did it again than she would burn his guitar and stuff, and we both know that if she burned his guitar he would go completely crazy."
Just then the door opened and they heard a laugh. "Sorry! It's not my fault you tripped over my foot."
"Here he is." AJ mumbled.
"Ah, thank you for gracing us with your presence Mr. Orton." Mr. Christians said sarcastically.
"My pleasure." Randy replied, walking to his desk next to AJ.
"Where were you?" Jay asked him, as Randy sat down.
Randy shrugged, "I overslept, sue me."
"Okay class, continue on your labs." Mr. Christians cut in.
Randy, AJ, and Jay put on their white jackets and goggles, but when Jay and AJ started to work they noticed Randy staring at Stacy Keibler.
"Dude, why are you staring at her? Do you like her or something?"
"Fuck no, Jay. Just watch."
All of a sudden they heard a high pitched scream, they turned around and saw that it was Stacy holding a dead frog in her hand.
"Oh my god!" She screamed, dropping it onto the floor in front of her. "Ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew." She said, running over to her boyfriend Adam Copeland.
Randy, Jay, and AJ all immediately burst into hysterical laughter.
Stacy looked around the room angrily, but when she saw Randy gasping for breath from laughing so hard she angrily walked up to him.
"What the fuck is wrong with you?!" She screamed.
"Do you mean mentally or physically? Because mentally there's a lot, but physically there's nothing." He said, smiling.
"Ugh!" She yelled. "Why the hell would you do that to me?!"
Randy put his right hand over his heart and pretended to look hurt. "Aw, now that's not very nice, I can't believe you would accuse ME of all people of doing something that mean. I'm hurt." He said, dramatically.
"Oh, cut the act Mr. Orton." Mr. Christians interrupted. "Go to the office."
Randy grabbed his backpack and walked to the door. But before he left the room and turned to face Mr. Christians. "Racist!" He yelled, walking out of the room still laughing.
"How can Mr. Christians be a racist when they are both white?" Melina Perez questioned her boyfriend Johnny Nitro.
Johnny rolled her eyes and shook her head. "Just get to work."
After Randy left, the whole class was talking about what had just happened, Adam was trying to get Stacy to calm down, Johnny was trying to explain the whole thing about Randy calling Mr. Christians a racist to her, and Jay and AJ were still hysterically laughing at what Randy had done to Stacy.
The only person who was doing their work and being completely quiet at this time was Trish was also the only person in the class that didn't even so much as glance up to see what Stacy was yelling about, she was completely focused on her work.
The Office
"Hola!" Randy yelled, as he entered the office.
The secretary looked up and rolled her eyes. "Oh god," She mumbled.
"How are you today, Leslie?" He asked, sitting in the chair outside of the Principle's office.
"It's Mrs. Scott." She corrected, rolling her eyes again. "What have you done this time?"
"Aw, don't act like you're not happy to see me." He said, smiling because he knew he was annoying her.
"What did you do?" She asked again, ignoring his comment.
Just then the principle, Mr. Smith walked out of his office and sighed when he saw Randy.
"What did you do?"
Randy sighed dramatically and rolled his eyes. "Why does everyone assume I did something? Has it ever occurred to someone that I was setup, or framed, or was just falsely accused of something I didn't do?"
The secretary and principle looked at each other, then at him and answered at the same time, "No."
"Get in my office now, Mr. Orton. I have to talk to you about something anyway."
"Okie dokie." Randy said, walking into the principle's office.
"Smart-ass." Mr. Smith mumbled, shaking his head and closing the door after he was in the room.
Mr. Smith sat at his desk, and motioned for Randy to sit in the chair in front of his desk.
"No, sorry, I can't sit there."
"And why not?" He asked, looked curiously at Randy.
"Well, you see, these chairs are hard, and my ass is really sensitive, so I need cushioned chairs." Randy said, smiling.
Mr. Smith rolled his eyes, "Just sit down."
"Gr, fine. Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning, oh wait, or is it that the wife just isn't doing it for you anymore?" Randy asked, stretching out his legs and leaning back in the chair, smiling at the pissed-off expression on Mr. Smith's face.
"That is none of your business Mr. Orton."
"Fine."
Mr. Smith rolled his eyes and sighed frustratingly. "Other than your obvious misbehavior, I also want to talk to you about your grades." He said, typing something on his computer.
"What about them?" Randy asked, looking around the room, obviously not caring about what Mr. Smith had to say about his grades.
Mr. Smith looked up from the computer, "It says here that every grade you have is below a twenty." He said, seriously.
Randy rolled his eyes, "And your point would be….?"
"You're mother called us this morning, and has requested that you get a tutor."
"I don't want a tutor." Randy said, simply.
"Well, you don't have a choice. Now get back to class, oh, and you have detention today after school."
"Yippee skippee." Randy replied, sarcastically, walking out of the office.
Later That Night
Later that night Randy and his mom were eating dinner. Randy and his mom were really close, they were like bestfriends.
"Why are you so quiet, sweetie?" His mom, Jessica, questioned looking at Randy who was slouched in his chair and instead of eating the food in front of him he was moving it around his plate with his fork.
"Dad called." He said, quietly.
His mom sighed, and leaned forward. "What did he say to you?"
"He wants me to go to his new house in West Virginia over Christmas break to meet his new fiancee."
"Well, maybe you should go," His mom started, calmly. "I mean, you haven't seen him for three years."
Randy sighed and looked up from his plate. "I haven't seen him in three years because of what he did. I don't want to be associated with him. I hate him."
His mom sighed, "It might do you some good to see him."
"Why do I have to be the one to go see him?! James doesn't have to!" Randy suddenly yelled, pushing his chair away from the table and angrily walking out of the kitchen and to his bedroom.
Trish's House
It was 5:00 and Trish walked into her house quietly. She didn't want to disturb her parents if they were talking or something, because that never turned out good for her.
As she walked toward the stairs to go up to her room, she stopped and froze in her place when she heard someone yell her name. "Trish!"
She slowly turned her head to her left where the yelling came from, not moving the rest of her body. "Y… yeah?" She stammered.
"Where the fuck have you been?!"
"Mom told me not to come home until five," She said quietly.
"Well I don't care what your mom says!" He yelled, walking toward her.
"I'm sorry," She flinched as he approached her.
Just then Trish's older sister Kelly and her boyfriend James, who just happened to be Randy's older brother walked in and their dad jumped, and started being nice to Trish.
"Sweetie, your mother and I are going out tonight, so just ask the maid or whatever if you need anything." He said nicely, which almost never happened.
She looked at him and gave him a confused look, but then went along with it. "O…okay." She said, stammering again.
Her dad smiled and hugged her, "I love you, sweetie." He said, walking out of the house.
Trish sighed deeply and rolled her eyes. She bent over and picked up her backpack, which she had dropped when her dad scared her, and ran up the stairs to her room.
When she got into her room she put her backpack on the floor next to her bed and walked over to her stereo, she put in her, Bullet For My Valentine; Hand Of Blood, CD, and pressed play.
Trish looked around her room and sighed. Hayden's room was painted a dark blue color, and she had posters of the bands Aiden, Bullet For My Valentine, Atreyu, Three Days Grace, Abandoned Pools, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, and Letter Kills on her walls. She also had rows of shelves that went around her entire room three times each which held all of her CD's.
In one corner of her room she had a desk where she did her schoolwork, next to that is where she had her stereo, on the other side of the room is where she had her acoustic guitar. Next to her guitar is where she had her computer, and then on the other side of the room she had her bed and a few nightstands, which is where she kept everything she wrote so people wouldn't find them.
She slowly walked to her computer and sat in the chair and signed onto AIM.
She smiled when she got an IM from her friend.
I'mCoolerThanYou: OMG. It's Trish. HIII!

I'mCoolerThanYou: HEY! What's up?
XXAidenRocksXX: Nothing really. You?

Trish sighed and layed down on her bed, she pulled the blankets over her and curled herself into a ball, she figured she should at least get some sleep before they get home.
'Being careful isn't as easy as you think. No matter how careful I am it's going to happen anyway, I just have to deal with it.' She though to herself as she drifted off to sleep.
Author's Note: So, what do you think? Let me know if I should continue. R&R.
