Racheal P.O.V
It was the First day of school .yay. I had on my purple jacket a t shirt underneath and jeans, along with a ponytail. My natural hair color is black, over the summer I got a chance to dye half my entire hair, I had on my tennis shoes too. I made my way to my classes until Free Period came, I walked in the computer lab where my free period is at. I saw Six boys already in the room, i was speed walking to the room until i reached the door, i slowly walked in then a boy in blond hair turned his head I smiled at him he smiled back.
The blond hair boy who smiled at me had on a red jacket and jeans, everyone else was wearing either a jacket t shirt and jeans. i placed my back pack on a chair and my guitar which I'm allowed to carry around for school reasons. I kept looking up seeing what the six boys were doing, they were just talking. I took out my sheet music for
Out on my own by Ross Lynch.
I read the notes and quietly played the chords, I didn't want to attract unwanted attention to myself. I kept my head down, when i looked up I saw the Blond hair boy turned his head looking at me, I smiled and waved, he smiled back, I can't help but think of him every now and then even though I don't even know him, and his name. I looked back down at my sheet music, the lyrics to the song was also there, i quietly sang to myself since I was awful a singing.
It almost feels like it was just a dream
All these memories of you and me
Blown away by the summer breeze
It almost feels like we never were
All that time we spent was just a blur
Now it's just me and a melody
What am I suppose to do
'Cause all these plans we made in the sand are through.
I turned the page, every other part of the song was good I started singing the bridge now
Maybe I'm falling on my face
Or maybe I'm landing in my place
Maybe we're a million Miles apart
Or maybe we're just standing heart to heart.
I was done practicing for now, I silently place my guitar away along with my music, I looked up at the clock to see what time it was, I still had 40 min. left to go. sigh I took out my drawing book and started drawing something i saw from a book i read. It was a fight between a girl and a boy, the girl was laying down beaten, the boy had his fist out. in the back ground was a bunch of other kids chanting ' FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT' Next to the bully was a boy with with his hands covering his mouth shocked, then was another boy with sadness splattered all over his face. What i didn't know is that, the same picture i drerw was coming to life tomorrow.
Lachlan P.O.V
Hey isn't it awesome that we have some classes together? asked Jerome, I hanged out with my five friends, Jerome, Mitch, Vikk, Rob and Preston. Why? because they're possibly he only friends I have. We were in free period together. We were all in 6th grade, which meant we were all new to the school.
Yeah, but the teacher said there was suppose to be seven of us, where is the other student? asked Rob. We kept on talking until a girl with glasses a purple jacket and jeans came in. Only I saw her walk in, I got to say she is really cute, but I was to scared to talk to her, one wrong word could make us enemies I smiled to the new girl she smiled back. Her smile was beautiful, and she wasn't like most girls in our school who has on a full outfit.
Lachlan? Earth to Lachlan! said Mitch waving a hand in front of my face. I snapped out of trance and returned to talking with the group or the Pack we like to call it. In the background I could hear the girl singing quietly and softly while playing a guitar. I just didn't really pay attention to the lyrics of the song she was singing. I hope I get to met her soon.
The next day
I was at my locker which was located near the blond haired boy, the hallway were empty which was unusual , oh yeah, and the other 5 boys from my free period was also here, they said something to the boy then left, leaving me alone with him, I grabbed my stuff and nearly tripped over his feet, i fell and he fell with me, wrapping his arms around my waist, I wrapped my arms around his neck in a dancing like form, then we fell. the five boys weren't that far down the hall, i was hoping they didn't notice. Then my attention was focused on the boy, who face was a few inches away from me, not to mention he was blushing a bit, so was i, the boy quickly got up, and had his hand reached out, i took his hand, as he helped me up
I'm so sorry he said quickly, after a few seconds of silence, he ran to his next period, I followed behind him, but none of us said a word, we walked into art class together, one of his friends, was also there, luckily the bell hadn't rung yet. I sat a table away from him, which was good after that awkward moment that just happened.
Dude, what took you so long? asked his friend.
Sorry Preston just got caught up in something, he said in an accent I'm unfamiliar from, but i wasn't going to judge, i also have an accent since I'm was born in Asia. Soon class started, then class ended.
Lachlan P.O.V
That had to be one of the most embarrassing moments in my life, the cute girl from my free period tripped on my feet, once I saw her falling I fell with her, I wrapped my arms around her waist she wrapped her arms around my neck which made me blush, unfortunately we fell. I was hoping that the boys didn't see that, if they did I would be teased about it forever. the girl was looking at me I looked at her, our face was a couple inches apart. Soon as my eyes fixed on the cute girl from most of my classes I relieazed at the position I put myself into. I quickly got up and offered my hand to the girl, she grabbed my hand and pulled herself up.
I'm so sorry I quickly said, she didn't say anything in response, soon we were walking to our next period, I didn't say anything, she didn't say anything. the bell haven't rung yet so we were safe, I sat a table away then Preston pulled me over to talk.
What took you so long? he asked. I didn't want to tell him about the incident so I lied to him.
Sorry, just got caught up in something, I said, class started, class ended the girl and I walked down the halls to our free period. I met up with the others as we started talking, I looked back to see if the girl was following us, instead I saw a crowd of people crowding around 2 people.
Hey, lets check out what's going on over there said Mitch. We walked over to the crowd as I saw a fight going on, against the girl and a boy with glasses a plaid shirt and jeans. seconds later the bully punched her, as she fell towards the lockers in pain, I wanted to help, but I don't know what to do.
Racheal P.O.V
Well, well, well look who we have here said a familiar voice that i hate, kill me now please. I turned around only to be greeted by my worst enemy, again KILL. ME. NOW.
What do you want Essa? i asked, he had on jeans and a plaid shirt, since he was stronger and older than me, I have no choice to obey his every command, the reason I hate him, he make me do all of his dirty work, make me do bad stuff to my friends, cheats, and get me into a lot of trouble. but I was done with it now.
People crowded around, next to Essa was Ryan, one of my best friends, he had his blond hair to the side, and his arms crossed. the six boys attention was also stolen by Essa and I present.
I want you to skip again, said the evil soul, wait, what! last year in elementary school, Essa made me skip an entire day of school to spray paint the school walls, i got in big trouble from my parents and the police officer who caught me, i told Essa that if i skip, he wasn't going to do it again.
You said- i started, but was cut short.
I changed my mind, said Essa. anger grew inside me, my hands turned into fist. before I even thought about what I was going to say something exploded inside me.
You can't make me do that, and you can't force me to, I can do what I want, no more hiding under your big, stupid shadow! why did I even become friends with you!? I yelled, I heard people gasp, I just then realized what I had, I put my hand up to my mouth, I was never allowed to talk back to my parent even bullies like Essa NEVER. Ryan had on a shocked expression, Essa had on an evil smirk, I knew what this meant. Before I could react I was punched in the guts Hard, and I mean Hard. I stumbled, banged into the lockers, and fell on the floor,
I looked back up at the Bully who laughed.
Ha, Ryan and I are no longer your friends he said, I was shocked, I looked over to Ryan, Essa gave him a evil look then he said.
Yeah, just forget we even met back in kindergarten, he followed Essa back to his class, the other kids went back to there classes, every Sixth grader had free period at the same time. the six boys were silently talking about something while walking to the lab, soon the hallways were empty, no teachers were in the hallway, they were all at break, once I thought about what Ryan had just said to me, and what Essa did just broke my heart, I slowly lifted up my shirt revealing a big red mark. I went into the room, I didn't want to cry then let a teacher ask me what was wrong, I kept my head down, big fat tears flooded my eyes and rolled down my cheeks, I had no one now. Ryan was the only true friend I had in forever, I had some friends they weren't always there for me like right now. I barricaded myself in an old janitor close which was empty it only had 5 chairs in it and a music stand, not to mention it was also big, I threw my back pack down, put down my guitar on the floor, fell on the cold floor and cried, I didn't even matter if I was breathing or not, that fight had to be one of the most emotional fight ever, Ryan and I had been friends since kindergarten, he always make me laugh when I'm depressed or sad, he helps me a lot, and since that very first day of school we've been friends. the door was closed but unlocked so the boys can walk in, I didn't care, the only thing on my mind was the fight.
Are...are you okay? someone asked in an accent, i didn't even bother to look up, they should already know my answer.
No, no I'm not, now go away. i said, I looked up surprised to see the blonde haired boy, he had on a small smile.
Are you sure, i saw what happened back in the hall way, how long had he been pushing you around? he asked.
Since 3rd grade, i just wanted the pushing around to stop, i hate Essa. i huffed. He had his arm out and hand towards me like back in the hall when we fell, i took the offer as he helped me up. We sat down on the chairs one chair apart. i told him everything from the day i met Ryan to now.
Sorry forget my manners, I'm Lachlan he said. he had his arm out. I shook his hand replying
I'm Rechnna, but you can just call me Racheal, or Rach for short. But what about the other boys you hang out with? i asked
oh the Pack you mean, i made a dumb excuse that I needed to go to the bathroom, left walked around the room, and entered from the door over here he said pointing to the door on my right.
Your accent and name is so unfamiliar I said.
I was born in Australia, then moved here, met my new friends went to school then ended up here, Lachlan said.
Cool, I was born in Asia, i replied, he smiled a little bit then i took out my drawing notebook and pencils out.
You like to draw? he asked.
Like? i love to draw! It's a hobby, along with Soccer, Karate, Art, Crafts, and playing video games, i said turning to a new clear page in my book.
Wait, video games, i love to play them mostly Pokémon. said Lachlan, and i already know you are good in art, we have art class together. he finished.
Oh yeah, we have mostly every period together, except you have Orchestra and i have Choir.
I started drawing him, until he interrupted.
Hold up, if you're drawing me, then i get to draw you he said. I laughed a bit, and moved the book in between us, Lachlan moved a seat closer to me, i started to heat up a bit. We started drawing, I drew Lachlan, Lachlan drew me. We looked at the finished picture, I drew him with a Poke ball in his hand, Lachlan drew me with my hands in a peace sign. I started laughing a bit, so did Lachlan. we exploded laughing until our side ached. then we finally stopped.
I am never getting rid of this picture. I said when I finally stopped laughing. Lachlan smiled a bit, then looked over at my guitar.
So, I heard you play the guitar yesterday, you're really good at it, maybe could you play it know? he asked.
Now? but I'm really bad at singing. I said.
C'mon, just a little bit, and if you want the whole song if you have to confidence. he replied. I took a deep breath took out the guitar and sheet music and started singing the song from yesterday, Lachlan staid quiet, listening.
It almost feel like it was just a dream all these memories of you and me blown away by the summer breeze it almost feel like we never were all that time we spent was just a blur now its jus me and a melody. What am I suppose to do 'cause all these plans we made in the sand are through?
With out you I'm on my own am I gonna be alone and if it's on me myself and I will I be fine so far from home, but I know that I'm gonna make it I'm brave enough to take this road out on my own
Then I skipped to the bridge
Maybe I'm falling on my face Or maybe I'm landing in my place maybe we're a million miles apart maybe we're standing heart to heart no matter what I'm walking right of this stage never looing back, never looking back to what happened today no way, no way.
I'm on my own never gonna be alone as long as I go me myself and I then I'm doing fine so far from home but I know that I'm gonna make It I'm brave enough to take this road out on my own.
It almost feel like it was jus a dream all these memories of you and me.
Glad that was over, I didn't really pay attention o how well I sing, I just really hopped that I didn't mess up in front of Lachlan. I looked over to him,
You were amazing! and you said you sing bad. he teased. I had soon realized that I acutely sang good for once. I look up at the clock, the bell was going to ring soon. Lachlan and I packed our stuff. Then a question popped up in my mind.
When are you going to tell your friends about me? I asked. Lachlan thought for a second then said.
Maybe later, but not know, the reason why is that every little mistake I make is teased on until I make another mistake, being friends with you and then telling the boys will make them think I... well... like you. The bell rang, and Lachlan and I went to our next class together, we exited from the Closet door and talked and laughed while making our way to class.
Lachlan P.O.V
She had to be one of my best friends ever, after the fight, I saw the girl run and vanish into a room, I knew what I had to do, she was hurt.
Hey, I got to go and use the bathroom, cya I said the boys. I left walked around and entered from a janitors closet. Soon after introducing ourselves and drawing a cool looking picture together, we quickly became friends. Then Racheal, yes that is her name, took out her Guitar. I asked her to sing and play it, the song from yesterday. I got to say she has the most beautiful singing voice ever. The bell rang and Rach. asked me a question.
When are you going to tell your friends?
I thought long and hard, the last time I was teased around was for failing a test, now befriending a really cute girl, even after our incident in the hallway, this was going to get real weird.
Maybe later, but not know. I responded. While walking to class we joked and laughed around, getting to know each other a bit more. Then it was soon time to go home.
Racheal P.O.V
Lachlan, his friends and I both walk home, I figured out that Lachlan acutely lives near my house, but I wasn't to sure if my parent are ready to meet him yet.
So what time do you get home? he asked.
Around 5:30 pm I responded, school lets out at 3:30 Lachlan gave me a puzzled look. I rolled my eyes. Come follow me, I said Grabbing his wrist. I led him to the path behind my house, then led to a city into an alley. in the alley was a lamp, a chair and a music stand.
This is where I practice my guitar and when I feel like I want to get out of the house, I said. Then I discovered that I still had my hand on Lachlan's wrist, I quickly let go, and blushed. Here, this is my Skype account so we can chat during break, I said giving him a piece of paper, oh and here is my Minecraft username:
Shadow_ClawR
Lachlan smiled, And here is my Minecraft name:
CraftBattleDuty
Soon, I showed him my house, I don' have any siblings and my parents were working, I quickly signed into my computer and logged on to Skype. I searched up Lachlan then clicked add to contacts.
I should possibly get going, said Lachlan.
Wait Lachlan before you go, I said, grabbing the boy's wrist again. he turned around.
Yeah what is it?
Thanks, I really needed someone to talk to especially after hiding all of that information in all these year, Thank you. I said smiling.
No problem, Rach. then he left.
-time passes-
Something ringed from my computer at 9:30 when I was asleep.
From Lachlan,
'Night Racheal ;)
