Jonothan stretched, he was sore. His eye was pulsating, and he could feel his lip had swollen. "I- I'm fine... Just.. sore." he said, rubbing his head, where it had hit the ground when he was pummeled by Samuel.
"Well, you should be fine now. But you'll have that swollen lip and that black-eye for a few days." Jan said, handing Jonothan a hall pass, "You should get to class, they just started 6th period."
"Thank you..." Jonothan replied, quietly. Almost too quietly. He didn't want anyone to hear him. He wanted to be alone, so he walked up to the third floor Boys Bathroom solemnly but quickly. He was shocked by what happened, and he knew for sure that things did NOT and would not get better during the day.
When Jonothan arrived through the bathroom doors, he found a nice little corner to sit down and think. He needed to think. He didn't know what to think about, but he knew he needed to think. He started reading a book that was supposed to be a whole school read a month ago, but he got depressed reading it, so he stopped. But now, he had nothing else to do, and he read. The book is called 'TH1RTEEN R3ASONS WHY' by Jay Asher. It's about this girl named Hannah Baker, and she commits suicide because she had enough of life, and the harassment. Basically one reason lead to another reason which lead to another reason, and she commits suicide, and makes those reasons known in 7 cassette tapes where she tells the whole story of why she killed herself, there were thirteen reasons why. Only 13 reasons... Jonothan thought to himself, Thirteen reasons... Hmm maybe I should wait until I have Thirteen reasons. So, Jonothan started writing the list.
The Thirteen Reasons Why I Killed Myself:
1. Samuel and Greg Wells
Jonothan started tearing up, he didn't want to kill himself. But he equally did not want to be beaten up any longer. The decision, he knew, would be final. No turning back. No starting over. Game Over. He started losing faith. Faith in himself. He hated himself for being Gay. He really wanted it to end.
The school bell rang, and stopped Jonothan's thought train, and scared him a bit. He knew it was the end of the day. So he put 'TH1RTEEN R3ASONS WHY' in his backpack, and headed for the main entrance to leave campus. As he walked down the hallway, he saw Zack looking at him, then glancing away quickly. He looked disapointed, or hurt. Jonothan was confused again, he was wondering why the hell Zack was being like this. Jonothan started to yell "Zack!", when Mr. Corine stopped Jonothan in his tracks. Then Jonothan remembered. Detention.
