A/N: Freddy's father is a drunk and abuses him. No one knows about it. Will he tell his friends when things go too far? Um… Stay tuned to find out? And pairings are undecided.

Chapter 1

I stormed out the front door in a rage. My dad was pissing me off more than usual. Let's put it this way, he got drunk last night. I hopped into my sister's car. Hannah was 17, and a senior at Saint Peters High School. The school I am a freshman in.

Hannah drove off towards the school, she dropped me off and drove away to find a parking spot. I saw Zach and Katie standing outside the school, "Hey Guys." I said, smiling.

Zach punched me in the arm, playfully, "Hey Spazzy!"

"Ow…" I winced when he punched me.

"You okay Freddy?"

"Never been better…" I rubbed my arm as we walked into the school. That was a lie. My arm had been fine, before my Dad got into the beer and was pissed at me for coming home 10 minutes late. That's all I have to say.

Katie and Zach nodded, "Alright Freddy. Whatever you say." Katie shook her head and we walked towards the 9th grade lockers.

"Not good…" I said to Zach and Katie, there was a really big guy at my locker, "Did I do anything last night?" I asked them, my memory wasn't exactly good.

"Freddy, that's no one new. It's Eric."

"Oh. Why's he trying to intimidate me?"

"Trying? Looks like it worked Spazzy."

"Well… Not anymore, now that I know it's him…" I walked up to my locker, "Move it Burns."

Eric looked at me, "Or what Jones?"

"You know what I can do."

"Show me."

I punched him in the face. He went to punch me back, put I dodged it, I continued to punch him, and he ran away.

"Mr. Jones." A female voice said behind me, I didn't know who it was, but I thought I was in trouble. I turned around, it was Summer, perfect, annoying, nagging, Summer Anne Hathaway.

"Yes Ms. Hathaway? Or is it Mrs. Burns? I can't keep track."

"Fredrick David Jones! How could you even suggest that?"

"You two HAVE been having an on and off relationship since… forever." I said, then added, "And never call me by my full name. Ever."

"Alright Freddy. I'll stop. But we better get to class. Seeing as we have… 2 minutes."

"Alright Ms. Hathaway." I said, I looked at Zach and Katie, "Let's go."

The four of us walked down the hallway, towards our Core Class. Ms. Winston. I hated her, so did everyone with an attention span of more than 3 seconds.

I almost made the cut. I had an attention span of 4 seconds.

I sat next to Marta and Gordon. I made it work for me, 2 band people and I could talk whenever I wanted, well, we weren't supposed to, but we did anyways. It was fine, by us. But not by her.

Marta looked at me, "Nice fight with Eric." She whispered.

"Wasn't truly a fight. Seeing as he never got a chance to hit me…" I explained, not that I cared, I didn't want to have any more pain.

"And?" Marta asked, "He ran away. And he's like… twice your size."

"True…" I thought about it, Marta was right.

"Okay, silence everyone." Ms. Winston said, clapping her hands to get our attention. Once everyone shut up, she began to talk, "The principal has told all the Grade 9 Core teachers to repeat this message. There are way to many fights in this grade."

Once she said that all eyes turned to me. I shrunk down in my seat.

She continued, "Now, now, it's not right to make accusations." She lowered her voice just low enough so we could hear her but she could act like we didn't, "Although you are all correct." She raised her voice again, "But the principal wanted me to tell you that the next person he catches fighting will be suspended for 5 days. And… that's what he wanted me to tell you."

Zach turned around and looked at me, "Dude. You gotta chill out. You can't get suspended."

"You say that like I start the fights on purpose!" I hissed, "It's not my fault that people start crap with me and I have a short temper…"

"We know Freddy." Alicia said, from behind me, "But you cannot get yourself suspended. Remember what Dewey said?"

"What time?"

"If anyone gets suspended they are out of the band for that time." Summer repeated, "Education comes first."

"Crap! I forgot about that!"

"Did Mr. Sands see you this morning?"

"I don't think so…"

"Then you should be fine. And you better stay out of fights in the future. We can't find a new drummer on such short notice!"

"And finding one as good as me would make the task twice as hard."

"Shrink your head Jones." Summer exclaimed.

"He's right though Sum." Zach added, "He is really good, and finding someone as good as him might be difficult…" He laughed.

I shook my head, "You guys need to lay off. I'm going to keep my cool. Around Sands anyway…"

"Freddy!" Katie exclaimed, "And if another teacher sees you and reports you to him?"

"I'll take out my anger off school grounds?"

"FREDDY!" They all screamed.

"Fine, fine, I'll… um… try to be good?"

"That's what we want to hear." Summer said, laughing.

We left that class and were walking down the hall. I saw my sister with her boyfriend and a bunch of her friends. She glared at me, "Did you guys hear that we might not get to have our Spring Fling because the freshmen are getting into too much trouble?" She asked her mob, as if completely ignoring me.

Her best friend, Tara, replied, "Yeah, I heard that. Did you hear it's mostly your brother?" They all walked away laughing.

I kicked a nearby locker and kept walking down the hallway.

Lawrence looked at the locker and ran up to me, "Freddy. It's not good to bottle up your anger like that…"

"I'm not bottling anything up."

"You dented the locker!"

"I did what now?" I turned around and looked at the locker, "Whoa…"

We continued to walk down the halls. Random people that I didn't even know were giving me death glares. I walked into my class, followed by Zach, Marta, and Tomika. "I don't know how much longer I can take this…" I said, sitting in the back of the room. Zach next to me, and Marta on my other side. Tomika next to Marta.

Zach shook his head, "Man… It's not just you."

"But… It is mostly you." Marta said, shrugging.

"Not helping." I said, putting my head down on my desk.

"I'm sorry Freddy. It's just that-" She was cut off by some really big kid.

"Jones, if you don't shape up and our dance gets cancelled, I'm going to have to kick your ass."

I looked up at him, "Number 1, it's called a breath mint. Number 2, I'm not the only one."

"You're the one who starts most of the fights here."

"Actually I don't. People start crap with me, and I get pissed. They actually start it by handing me the bait. And I take it."

"Whatever Jones. Just watch your back."

"How much you wanna bet I'll be getting crap like that all day?" I asked Zach, Marta, and Tomika as he walked away.

"I don't know. He should be happy if the dance gets cancelled." Tomika said, "He's got no chance of getting a date."

All four of us laughed. "Nice one Tomika." I said, smirking.

The day was going… okay. But the one thing I was looking forward to was band practice right after school.
