Creative Writing: Douche Walk Out The Door

As we walked out the door, I notice Douche walk out at the same time. He glares at me and I quickly walk away before things escalate. I still needed to get my textbooks so Dani, Genysis, and I head towards the library where the twins agreed to meet us.

"So, what did you think of your first day?" Dani asks me.

"It was pretty good. I didn't really expect to make friends so soon, but I'm glad you guys are here," I smile at the both of them.

"Don't worry, things only get worse from here. At least school is half over," Genysis responds. They notice Matt walking out of his class and walk over to meet him. Dani and I stop out of courtesy until the two of them meet up with us again.

"Sup, Ash," Matt says. I respond with the same greeting and we

He continues on to check out and Dante and Damien help me pick up my books, glaring at Douche.

"Seriously, what is his problem," Damien whispers to me. I shrug and take my books back, pushing the group out the door silently. I turn to leave when I notice the twins stop right outside of the door.

"Guys, what are you doing?" I ask, "Let's just go."

"Well we're your bodyguards, right?" Dante says.

"We're just doing our job," Damien responds afterwards. I don't understand exactly what they're planning to do until I see Douche walk out of the library door. The rest of the group create a sort of wall between me and him.

"Guys stop you're so extra," I mumble. Nobody responds and instead simply continue to shield me.

"Explain yourself, Jadyn," Dante says to break the silence.

"What the fuck do you mean," Douche responds in an apathetic tone.

"Why are you acting like this to Ash?" Dani chips in, taking a step forward. "You've never picked on anyone before, so why now?"

"He's an easy target. Now move," he says, attempting to push everyone out of the way. The twins, however, stand there, stiff as a board and

Douche mocks fear with a fake "Oh no," and finally pushes past the two. We watch him walk away before leaving on our own.

"Really, you all are too much. He probably thinks I'm even more of a target now," I pout. Dante turns and smiles at me, taking some of my books.

"Even if he does, we'll make sure he doesn't bother you again," he says. I sigh in frustration but say nothing else.

We walk out to the twins' car who offered to drive me home earlier. We chat about the day's events and I see Jadyn out of the corner of my eye, glaring at me as he entered his car. I quickly turn away and hurry up to place my things in the twins' truck.

"Hey, there's a bakery that just opened up a few blocks from here. We should go there, I've been dying to try it," Genysis suggests.

"I'm down for it," Dani replies. We all agree and exchange the address, then enter our respective cars.

When we enter the car, Dante turns and looks back at me from behind the wheel.

"Wanna join us for video games tomorrow? We have mostly computer games but Night in the Woods just came out on the Switch so," he says, looking hopefully in my
