Note- The lyrics, I'm Just a Kid, aren't mine. They're by simple plan. And this chapter is in Matt's point of view, also.
Chapter 7- I'm Just A Kid That's All Alone
I stayed in bed until the alarm clock went off.
I hit the snooze button twice.
And here it goes:
I woke up at seven.
I waited 'til eleven, just to figure out that on one would call.
[I sit by the phone, waiting.]
I think I got a lot of friends: Haywood, Adam, Andrew, and lots of others.
But now I don't hear from them.
[I think how I lost the gang and my friends:
"Please stop!" I said, weakly.
"Matt you've got what you deserve!" Said Haywood, kicking me in the side, and then walked off.
*
"Dude, we still want to be your friend, but sometimes you're too rude. That's all we're saying." Explained Reggie.
"Well, I don't wanna be your guys friend anymore!" I yelled as I walked off.
*
Oh, did I ditch my friends to hang out with the gang? I wonder that question.
What's another night alone when you're spending everyday on your own?
I'm just a kid, and life's a nightmare.
I'm just a kid.
[I think about the time when I was younger:
It was Halloween. I had my Tony the Tiger costume on. Someone older than I was, walked up to me and said, "Ew! Tony the Tiger? That's dumb! You should've been Scream or something else than that! By the way, you're dumb for wearing that!" They laughed. I ran to my Mom and Dad, crying. I was only seven.
*
I know that it's not fair.
Nobody cares 'cause I'm alone, and everybody is having more fun than me.
What the hell is wrong with me?
I don't fit in with anybody anymore.
How did this happen to me? I wonder if it's because I acted like a jerk, and the only person I ever cared about was me and only me? And nobody else I really cared about.
And maybe when the night is dead, I'll crawl into my bed, staring at these four walls again.
I'll try to think about the last time I had a good time.
[[I think about a good time I shared with my friends:
"Hey, Lanny, look at Matt! He's funny with his sisters bra on his head, huh?" Oscar and Reggie laughed.
Lanny laughed.
Then I started to laugh.
Then Melina came up to me and said, "Matt, that bra on your head is styling for you… really!" she laughed.
"It's no joke. I'm Super Bra Man!" I said.
"Super Bra Man? Who's he?"
"He's a character I made up!" I explained. "And I'm going to save the world from bullies who pick on us."
They all laughed.
I laughed along with them.
*
Everybody's got somewhere to go, and they're gonna leave me here on my own.
Tonight I'm all alone.
Tonight nobody cares.
I'm just a kid tonight.
End Chapter 7
Note- This chapter's short, I know. But the next chapter probably will be longer.
