3 months into school and I'm already sick of it. All this homework like, really? Gah, year 7 was so much easier, Daniel has been bullying both me and Andy lately. We're literally sick of it. High school is worse than I thought. I've got a crush on a girl in my class, her names Stacey, she's so beautiful I just, oh my god. I'm crazy about her, but every time I say something to Andy he gets all funny. I don't know why. It could be because he'd be afraid of losing me if me and her actually happed. I wouldn't let that happen, ever. There was a party this weekend and Shannon's and Stacey will be there. I'm planning on asking her out I don't know, I don't know.

"HEY ANDY!"
"Shaun?" Andy turned around to me; I ran up to him
"hey"
"hey" he smiled slightly
"how are you?"
"Fine, you?"
"I-I'm pretty good, kinda nervous. I'm planning on asking Stacey out at Shannon's party tomorrow"
"really!?"
"Yes"
"good luck" he smiled quickly and walked away. Something's been bothering him lately, I don't know what. I'm afraid to ask why.

This is it. The big party. I'm going to ask her out. I can do it. I put my Blink-182 shirt on, black skinny jeans and converse on and then quickly brushed my hair.
"MUM, I'M GOING. SEE YOU LATER, I LOVE YOU"
"I LOVE YOU TOO SHAUN, STAY SAFE!"
"I WILL" I ran out the door and made my way to Shannon's and knocked on his door.
"Hey Shaun"
"Hey Shan, who's here"
"Andy and Bradie got here not long ago and a few other kids"
"okay, what's for drinks?"
"V's, coke, Fanta, lemonade, you know, the shitty stuff" he laughed as I did.
"I'll go get a drink then" I smiled and made my way to the refreshments bar, grabbing a V and turned to see Stacey, the beautiful long haired brunette with those green and hazel eyes. I felt my heart beat faster as I approached her.
"Hey Stacey"
"oh, hi." She turned around
"I'm Shaun, I'm in your class"
"I know" she smiled and turned around, going to talk to her friends
"h-hey Stacey"
"yes Shaun" she looked at me again
"can we go out back for a second? I want to ask you something"
"okay, sure" she smiled and quickly walked outside, I followed and sat on the bench, she joined me
"so…?" she asked
"do you, Stacey, want to be my girlfriend?" I bit my lip as I blushed and then I felt an impact on my lips, I closed my eyes and sat there kissing her back softly; I guess this is a yes? I thought a first kiss would feel better than this but how would I know? This was my first kiss.

ANDY P.O.V
"hey Shan?"
"Yeah?" Shannon replied
"where's Shaun?"
"Snogging Stacey Davis" he said in a British accent
"ha ha, very funny"
"I'm being serious, they're making out"
"w-…really?"
"Yes"
"oh. Good for him then" I smiled fakily and grabbed my drink and passed the back door, looking out to exactly what Shan described. He was kissing her, the school whore. She'll just break his heart. I would never do that to him. Why am I even thinking like this? God. I wanted to get out of here, I have to.

"Bradie, I'm going home…"
"Why?"
"Because I'm tired, I have homework to do"
"since when do you do homework?"
"Since now, I'm going. Bye."
"See ya" he went off to Shan as I walked out. I walked down the streets with my head down low. I feel something for Shaun that I've never felt before. I don't know if it's best friend feeling or loving feelings. It just feels different with him. He makes me happy. I walked in my house and went to my room, ignoring mum and Gerald. I lied on my bed, staring at the roof, counting the amount of times Daniel had bashed me this week…3 times, I sighed shakily and got up, going to my mirror and lifted my jumper and shirt off and felt my eyes glaze over with tears, blinking them away I stared down my body. Bruises all over my stomach and chest, the grazes on my arms but most of all, the scratches on my wrist from the scissors 'You're so short' 'you're so fat' 'you're a faggot' 'ugly' 'dumbass' 'gay' 'cunt' 'pathetic' 'worthless' 'my perfect little punching bag' I burst into tears remembering what Daniel and his gang did to me but the biggest one 'no one loves you and no one cares' I sobbed softly, they're right, I'm ugly and no one cares nor loves me. Shaun proved that to me. I looked through my drawer and found my sharpener and grabbed my scissors, unscrewing the tiny screw in the sharpener, taking the blade out, I cleaned it off quickly with a tissue and held it up to my arm "just swipe it Andrew…" I whispered to myself and I quickly swiped it off and gasped "f-fuck" I whispered, I stared at my arm as it started to bleed, I just sat there and watched it until it stopped and then I got up and cleaned the blood, breathing deeply from the sting and then made my way back to my room and put my jumper back on and got in bed, turned my lamp off and closed my eyes, slowly falling asleep.
