This is where the opening is suppose to go. I say suppose because I'm not going to put one. Telling you my entire life story leaves less questioning on you're part. If I told you everything then why would you want to read this? But I can tell you one thing....
My name is Percival Ulysses Cox, but call me Perry.
It was a day like any other. The same old beeping alarm, the lingering smell of whiskey, the shooting pain in his side, yup just another normal day.
Perry got up and slammed his hand down on the alarm clock. He groaned and rubbed his temples in a weak attempt to get rid of the already terrible headache. Sitting for a few seconds he waited dreading school. Well it wasn't all that bad, it wasted 7 hours of the day. Anything was better then that drunken bastard he was suppose to call father.
He was quick to get changed and walk down the stairs to meet Paige. They went to different schools, but were on the same schedule. Perry sat down and gave her a nod. She greeted him back with a smile and a small "Good morning."
They ate in silence as usual, not wanting to wake their parents. After breakfast they put their dishes away and dashed out the house. Perry walked his sister to the bus stop since his was a little farther down, but still close.
"How are you and Jordan?" she asked breaking the silence.
Perry rolled his eyes, ever since he broke up with Jordan his sister had been bugging him about it. She kept saying they were perfect for each other and that it was just a phase. Even when he reminded her that Jordan was probably the daughter of Satan. "The hate's still there and growing strong." he said rolling his eyes.
"Still? Don't worry Perry, you'll come around." she remarked
"For the last time Paige-age-age, it's not just me. We both hate each other and even if she begged me to come back, cause she wants a big strong man, I will not now, not tomorrow, not ever go back to her." he scowled.
"Yes you will, who else is there for you? I mean she stood you for 4 years and you're only going to meet one girl who can stand those stupid rants." Paige said
Perry just gave a growl and left while his sister wait for the bus. He made it to his stop just as the bus pulled up. Perfect timing as always. He walked on to the bus and made his way to the seat where his best friend was. He slumped into his seat and heaved a heavy sigh. Ben's usual grin slipped off. Him and Jordan were the only one's who knew his home life.
"What's up?" Ben asked.
"Paige is still is still going off about me and Jordan." Perry sighed.
Ben just smiled at this "not to worry Per Per, she'll get over it when you meet someone else." Ben joked
"That's the problem, when is this 'someone else' going to show up?" he sighed ignoring the nickname
"Give it time Per, today may be you're lucky day." Ben winked
Ben and Perry locked eyes. They starred at each other and slowly inched closer. Their faces mere centimeters away. Their heads slightly tilted in the scene before a kiss. Perry quickly pulled away he wanted to be angry, but couldn't help laughing. "Damn it!"
Ben held up his arms in triumph "Yes, I will always win gay chicken!" he cheered.
They laughed seeing as Perry had lost once again at their unique game of gay chicken. A girl peered over the seat and looked at them with an amused smile. "What are you girls doing?" she remarked
"Oh, sorry did we bother you sis?" Ben laughed
"Oh no, I love watching girls make out." she said sarcastic
"Please Jordan, you're just mad that you're not even close to getting any." Perry smirked
She raised an eyebrow in a questioning look "I can get any guy here to make out with me." she said and to prove it she stood up and looked around the bus "Who wants to make out with me?"
About every male hand quickly flew into the air. She snorted and turned back to her brother and ex. "You see?" she smiled and sat back down. Of course everyone did, she was one of the cheerleaders and everyone wanted the cheerleaders.
Perry looked from her to Ben and then back again. "How are you two related?" he questioned
Ben shrugged and turned his attention back to his unfinished homework. The rest of the ride they shared small conversations and Perry helped Ben with homework.
Perry walked towards his first class with Ben. They were both in the doctor elective. There was a weird thing about Sacred Heart, it was a high school completely made up of people trying to be in the medical field. No, that doesn't mean everyone's trying for a doctor or surgeon. It also doesn't mean they forgot about Math and English. Sacred Heart was a normal high school except all electives were in medical field like school nurse, doctor, pediatrician, surgeon, nurse, medical examiner, even plastic surgeon for some reason.
Because of this there were a few things different. They didn't have a school nurse, every day a new senior was picked to be the school nurse for the day. Their cheap principle also decided the public could come here and have check ups and stuff like that without any real medical record for a small fee. Even though it wasn't that much not a lot of people came here which was oblivious since they were still in high school, but every once in a while a young girl or guy came in and ended up having an STD or being pregnant.
Perry and Ben split ways and walked to class. Perry sat in his desk near the back corner he wasn't anti-social, he just liked to keep his distance from morons. He started on his work when the teacher called everyone to attention with a loud throat clear. He glanced up for a moment in mild interest.
"We have a new student everyone! Please be nice and be welcoming!" the teacher commanded. The new student then walked in nervously.
That was the first time I saw her and when the teacher spoke her name it was subconsciously burned into my brain, Janette Michelle Dorian. Actually that wasn't her name in fact is wasn't even a girl. I just say that because of those big girly doe eyes, her black silk hair that was drenched in product, and that figure. His real name was John Michael Dorian. Now don't go thinking it's love at first sight and just because I said he had big doe eyes that I can't keep my eyes off him. Actually I didn't even like him when he walked in. I just thought he was odd. Back then I didn't know I could....actually lets not get into that yet. For now lets just stick with me knowing his name.
He smiled at the class nervously and tightly held his books to his chest. His eyes darting all around the room trying to avoid eye contact. "This is John Dorian" she then turned to the fidgeting kid "is there anything you'd like to say about yourself?" she asked.
He quickly shook his head. "Alright, you can just sit down over there." she said pointing to an empty seat diagonal from Perry's. He walked over and took a seat quickly. Perry watched the new boy for a while, something was strange about him. John noticeably tensed up and glanced at him. They briefly made eye contact before the younger boy quickly looked away. He had a red blush over his cheeks and kept his eyes in his book.
Perry raised an eyebrow and shook his head. He went back to work knowing it was going to be a long day.
He sighed in relief as lunch came around. Because he and Ben had different schedules the only time they got to hang out was lunch and last period which was art.
He entered the lunch room passing all the normal people Gandhi, Barbie, Carla. Barbie and Gandhi were freshmen. Their real names weren't Barbie and Gandhi of course it was actually...well it's not like he cared enough to pay attention. Carla on the other hand was only two years below him. She had started to become his friend. He at one point liked her, but the feeling wasn't mutual so they decided to stay friends. She was also one of the few people who could stand his ranting and him being a jackass.
He sat down at the usual table with Carla behind him. She was a proud Latina woman with long curly hair. She was also head cheerleader and acted like a mother to all.
They sat down at a table with Ben, Jordan, and Lavern. The woman immediately started talking about their next cheerleader meeting and so on. With the girls in their own world it left the boys free to talk.
"What's up?" Ben asked picking at his lunch try. The school lunch was in no way a lunch because it was not at all edible. Perry always thought that was weird, they worked in a medical high school, yet the lunch was not at all healthy.
"Nothing" Perry asked bored
"That's a lie" Ben pointed out
"What do you mean?" Perry asked
"Something happened today and I want to know what." Ben said playing hurt
"Nothing really, just some new kid."
"Really? Where is she? Is she cute?"
"He is over there." he said pointing towards John. He was sitting at Barbie and Gandhi's table. He had a day dream look on his face. He then snapped out of it and said something. Everything became silent, they were looking at the newbie. He had his hands over his mouth and a deep blush. Gandhi was first to break the silence. He said something excitedly and hugged the new kid. Everything returned to talking and laughing.
"Ohhh, so he is cute." Ben teased
Perry almost choked on his drink. He quickly spit it out and had a small blush on his face "What?!
