James diamond was the popular boy in school. He was rich good looking and could get any girl or guy if he wanted. The only thing that was stopping him from being the perfect guy was he wasn't that smart. He was close to failing all his classes except for gym he always got A's in that class.
James was also on the hockey team that was his life he loved hockey more than anything. He was thee captain and no one could beat him he was the best. That was all going to end if he didn't get at least a C average on his tests.
When James found this out this wonderful news he went ballistic he yelled at the coach and anyone who bothered him which was anyone who couldn't help him. He went yelling in the hallway saying every swear there is and everyone knew to leave him alone.
Everything was going okay until this poor boy Kendall knight walked into James. Kendall stumbled back but didn't fall and James did the same. Kendall tried to apologize but James was not trying to hear it. He screamed at the boy telling him to watch where he is going and how dare him touch him ever. Kendall didn't like hearing these words from anyone but that didn't stop them from being said to him. Kendall picked up his books but James slapped them on the floor again and laughed at him. Kendall stood there and bent down for his books and asked James to please stop that he was sorry.
James was having too much messing with him and said no and if I don't are you going to call your mommy on me. That was the end for Kendall his eyes filled with tears and he ran away leaving his stuff behind. James laughed and everyone that watched did also this made James feel good. James picked up the books and put them in his book bag planning to hand it in to a teacher. James walked in to class and sat down in the back where he always does and talking to his friends Logan and Carlos.
Logan and Carlos were popular also but they weren't as rich as James. Logan was smart but because he chooses to spend all his time parting he doesn't do his work. Carlos was the funny one he always said something to make people laugh.
Class had ended and James Logan and Carlos had not paid attention to anything the teacher said. On the way out the teacher Mr. Dawson stopped the James and Kendall before they could leave the class. James huffed but stopped while Kendall just walked back to the teacher.
Mr. Diamond you are going to fail this class if you didn't pay attention and actually do some work in this class so I got you a tutor which is Mr. Knight Mr. Dawson said. Both of them gasped in shock not wanting to do this.
I am not being taught by him let alone have a tutor have you lost your mind James said and Kendall just said that he couldn't.
Well james if you want to continue playing hockey then you will be tutored by kendall Mr. Dawson said to james and then told kendall that it would count for extra credit if he does this.
Kendall didn't really need extra credit he was really smart he had all A's in every class but he agreed not wanting to let his teacher down. Kendall was told that he was a delight and James should be happy that Kendall agreed. But James being James had to say something smart whispering a yeah right under his breath.
Kendall walked out of the room not wanting to be picked on anymore by this boy. Kendall didn't understand what he did to James for him to hate him so much he was nice to everyone.
James walked out and followed Kendall down the hall. He caught up to him and asked where he lived so they can study and get this done but Kendall didn't want James at his house so he told him to meet at the library at 6:00. James was okay with this since he had hockey practice until 5.
Kendall walked home like usual and thought about all the things James said to him. That really upset him and he started to cry again.
He finally reached home and went straight to the bathroom dug in the medicine chest and grabbed his little friend that kept him happy for a split second. He sat down on the floor thinking of how useless he was to everyone and began to cut. The first wasn't deep but the more he did the deeper it got. When Kendall reached five cuts he stopped thinking that it was a good amount of cuts for today. He cleaned off the blood and dried it. He put his long sleeve back down and went to his room to lay down and relax until he had to go to the library. Kendall fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow he had set an alarm before he did making sure he wouldn't be late for his tutoring session.
He got up from hearing his alarm go off and wiped his eyes hoping that would wake him up but of course it didn't. he had a half hour to get to the library so he went down stairs and grabbed some bread yellow American cheese ham and made himself a sandwich for his walk there.
Kendall walked everywhere not because he didn't have a car because he had a really nice car but he didn't want to drive it and if you ask why he will never tell you. Kendall was the quiet type and didn't enjoy people in his life especially the kind of life he had.
When he reached the library he went over to the study hall and see James sitting at one of the tables next to a girl flirting with her. He wasn't getting very far which pissed him off a little. He saw Kendall in the corner of his eye and got up and walked to where he sat down at.
Kendall asked him if he had his books and James took some books out and slid them to Kendall roughly. Kendall looked at the books and realized they were his he was planning on going to lost and found tomorrow but he didn't have to now.
Kendall took a math book out and asked James what he needed help with so James told him to help him with anything that would be on the test. That was a lot so Kendall started from the beginning of the chapter they were learning in class.
Kendall started to explain the math problems to James but they weren't getting very far. Kendall showed James two different ways to get the answer but he still didn't get it. So he tried the last way which is the way he should have tried first because it was the easiest way. James started to get it and Kendall felt a little better.
It was hot where they were in the library because they needed all the cool air for the computer part so they wouldn't over heat so now it was blazing hot. Kendall lifted up his sleeves forgetting his cuts because he was too distracted by how hot it was and James not understanding the work.
Oh my gosh what is that on your wrist and arm James said shocked by what he seen. Kendall quickly put his sleeves down and said it was nothing. James didn't like that answer and kept asking. Kendall was getting annoyed by James.
Its cuts okay now you can make fun of me some more for being some crazy person on top of everything else you think of me Kendall said rather loudly making some people look over at them. Kendall didn't like that people were looking and grabbed his stuff and started to walk away.
James was too shocked to move until he seen Kendall by the door about to leave. He had to see what was wrong with this boy he knew that he made fun of him a lot but that little bity teasing can't cause someone to cut their wrists James thought.
He caught up to the boy and stopped him dead in his tracks grabbed his books and threw them into his bag. Kendall looked at James weirdly and then felt James grab his arm and pull him to James car. James told him to get in and he did as he was told scared of what might happen if he didn't. James was quiet the whole ride to where ever they were going and so was Kendall.
You drove twenty minutes just to go to a park Kendall asked James just looked at him and told him to shut and follow him. Kendall got out and followed James up to this mountain top area. The view was nice he seen how the area looked from a higher view and it was beautiful. James sat down and Kendall did as well still not saying anything.
So why do you cut your wrists James asks. He looked straight at Kendall when he asked wanting to see his facial expression. Kendall shrugged his shoulders and James told him that was not an answer.
Maybe I don't want to give you an answer and why do you want to know you I know you don't care what are you trying to find more ways to make my ruin my life some more Kendall said hurt in his voice.
James was did something he thought would never do in a million years but he felt the need to help him out. He hugged Kendall which had Kendall tense up at the touch of James on him and because he hadn't felt this for a long time.
He couldn't help but cry while James held a tight grip on him not letting go until Kendall was calm again. They stayed like that for a few minutes while Kendall cried for all the heartache he went thought how his life is so horrible and he was still wondering why James was the one to give him a hug.
Kendall stopped crying and James loosened his grip on Kendall giving him space so he can see his face. His eyes were puffy and cherry red from crying and his nose was the same as his eyes from sniffling. James felt bad for making fun of him now feeling guilty.
He asked Kendall again and this time he answered. He told James that his life was terrible and he was dealing with a lot of family issues. He didn't really tell in detail why he did it but James knew that was all he was getting out of him right now. He hugged Kendall again one last time before they got up and went back to the car. Kendall still didn't want James to know where he lived at so he told him to go back to the library.
Kendall got out when they reached the library but James called him and handed him his books. Kendall took them and whispered a thanks but James heard still. He watched as Kendall walked down the street and when he was out of sight he pulled out of the parking lot and went home.
Kendall was wondering why james was so nice to him was he trying to get me back for bumping into him or agreeing to tutor him what could be the reason.
Kendall reached his house and walked into the living room. He saw his sister Katie laying down on the couch asleep. He picked her up and took her to her room so she wasn't uncomfortable. After he did that h went to his room to watch some TV. Even though the TV was on and he was looking at it didn't mean he was paying attention to it. He was too busy thinking about James. Those thoughts soon became a dream because Kendall was now sleeping.
