That was on a Friday.When school ended that day,I was overjoyed,to be able to just finally go home.And have some of mom's home baked cookies. I thought my bus home would never come while I was standing out in the pouring rain,waiting,waiting...I couldnt get that girl out of my head. Her startlingly bright blue eyes,her beautiful blonde hair...The way she looked at me when she said 'Thank you'The way she smiled...With that gleaming happiness in her eyes.All I ever saw in my eyes when I looked in the mirror was blankness.My blank dark brown eyes.The bus came shortly after the end of day bell rang.
I had got home and was about to start my homework so I could do whatever I wanted for the rest of the weekend.I opened up my history book and saw that cute,girly writing. 'DAMN IT!' I thought, 'I've got Caryn's history book,and she's got mine ... With all my notes in it!' I decided not to call her,because she seemed pretty mad earlier...When my dad got home.
I went to my sisters room,and then I realized that she had gone to her friend Tori's house for a sleepover that night.And mom was gone to my grandmothers for th night...So it was just me,by myself.With my dad. He walked int othe house,I could tell he was reeling drunk just by the way he was walking.
'Where are you you little------' He yelled.'The Morrisons docked my pay at work today,and it's all because of YOU,you little mistake! I wish your mother had never given birth to you!' he yelled at me,and went on to cuss me out for about fifteen minutes.'Wh--What did I do dad? How is it my fault dad?' I pleaded,and he yelled 'I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN TO WORK AT TIME IF YOU DIDN'T HAVETO GO TO THAT STUPID SCHOOL.You little scumbag,it's not like you'll ever learn anything there anyways,you'll never amount to anything..' He yelled at me.
I winced as though he hd belted me in the face,I was a smart kid,I made all A's in school,and I always thought that I could live up to my dad's expectations.It killed me when he told me stuff like that.
After that he really did belt me in the face.I screamed with pain,he threw me to the ground,I pleaded for him to stop but he just kept punching me and hitting me.
After that I went to my room,I hate to say this but I cried for about three hours after that.My family was a broke none,and it was killing me.My dad did it sometimes to my mom,but I got most of his beatings. Just because I went to school,and he was a drop out in grade eight. I woke up at around five a.m. and decided to go for a walk. I went to the DX gas station by our house and bought a Pepsi,a replay of what happened last night rolling through my mind. 'Man,if half the greasers at school could see that,' I thought, 'I wonder if they'd still think that Tony Randall has it made.' I was ony my way home,when I saw her. The girl with blonde hair,blue eyes and the most beautiful smile in the world.Caryn Adderson.
'Caryn,' I said. 'Hi,h-how are you?' I muttered.
'Look,I only came here to give you your history book.I called your house and your dad said I could find you here,so...Here it is.' She said , then she turned around and ran off.
I had half a mind to stop her,and talk to her.But I decided not to,whatwould people at school think? So I just took my worn old history book,and made my way home.
