Toms pov
I walked into school an hour early and made my way towards my classroom. I took my usual seat next to the window and waited to see how the class would have changed, how the returning students would have changed and of course meet the new head teacher.
I hoped that Melissa would have changed school because it would be really awkward between us.
Melissa had been my friend but when she found out about my sexuality she became angry I hadn't told her.
So one day on the bus I sat down and waited for Melissa to get on. When she got on she sat on her own.
"Hey Melissa why aren't you sat by our awesome science wizz kid" asked mark (who stayed my friend but left 6 weeks into term we still talk)
"One he's not awesome two he doesn't deserve the friends he has and three I'm not sitting by a bisexual faggot!" She yelled so the whole bus would hear.
When we reached school everyone knew and I ended up crying in a toilet we haven't spoken since.
My thoughts were startled when mr Mcnab ,the deputy head, walked in closely followed by two new students who had clearly come on the bus I was supposed to catch.
"Oh hello, tupper." Mr Mcnab said
"Hi sir," I whispered.
"Tupper this is..." I cut him off
"Aneisha Jones and Daniel Morgan?" For the first time I looked up and much to my delight they were both wearing confused expressions.
"How does he know that sir?" Daniel asked.
"Because it says in your blazers." I replied before Mr Mcnab had a chance to open his mouth.
"Well ill leave you in toms hands. I'm actually quite surprised your here Tom. After the end of last year. See you in lesson one." Mr Mcnab said heading towards the door.
"What happened at the end of last year?" Aneisha asked sitting down at the desk next to me.
"You may not want to sit there. That is if you want to make friends." I replied.
"I'm quite fine here thanks. I'm neish by the way!" She said smiling.
"Oh that's nice. I'm sorry but that seat is saved for a friend." I said as unsarcastically as possible.
"Oh ok ill move dan can sit next to me." She said moving as the others started piling in. Soon the class filled up and mr Mcnab and a man with grey hair an glasses walked in. As suspected the seat next to me was empty and I noticed Melissa wasn't there. I could have sworn my face lit up. Then the door opened and in walked Melissa.
"Sorry I'm late sir," she said handing him a note. He opened it read it and said
"Ok take a seat next to umm ah yes there Tom" brilliant! Just grand and then my pencil started flashing. My hand shot up in the air.
"Yes, sorry i dont know your name,"The new teacher asked
"That's fine sir, it's Tom by the way, I need to go to the medical room." I said
"Why?" He asked. Mr Mcnab put a hand on his shoulder and whispered in his ear I knew what he was saying.
"Why of course you may go." He said
"Danke" I said cursing that I'd spoken Germany
"Stupid Jew!" I heard someone yell. I walked slowly towards the caretakers closet assuming that I was the only one in my class.
"Hey Tom wait up!" I heard I spun on my heals and saw Daniel and neish jogging towards me.
"Don't happen to know where the caretakers closet is do you?" I blinked and turned continueing my journey. no way. The two people who actually spoke to me! This was not happening something felt weird.
Like they knew.
As we reached the cupboard neish grabbed my arm.
"Do not tell anyone..." She began and looked down at my arm which was showing deep cuts. I pulled away and let out a small sob. Before I had chance to run she grabbed my wrists and pulled me into a hug.
"Why?" She asked
"Because I deserve it."
