Everybody Belongs Somewhere

No matter how hard I tried I couldn’t produce a sound.

I woke to the smell of bacon and my mom yelling “get up” in the most patronizing tone. I sprung out of my bed and went into the scorching hot shower. The thought of today being the first day of school panicked me. I got dressed, and went down to eat before I left. My mom told me that I looked swell, I was shocked. After I was done eating I left for the treacherous day ahead of me. I walked out the door and smelt the crisp summer air. I wandered down the road looking at the breathtaking view of trees turning colors and the breeze making them sway. I came to a sudden stop and took a deep breath. I approached slowly thinking of all the things that could go wrong on the first day back.

I passed through the massive doors into a zoo called Malibu High. Its smelt like sweat and dirty socks. As I walked down the hallway I could hear the girls talking about their summer hook ups, and the guys talking about sports. I found my locker and arranged my supplies within it. While i was putting my school supplies in my locker I got a slight whiff of sweaty football players coming toward me.

“Please don’t be coming for me” I thought to my self as I tried to be discrete. There is one football player in particular, his name is Troy Oden. He is the one person who is the most harmful. He thinks he has so much swag, and on top of that he is very cocky. He is extremely tall with dark brown hair and muscles like a world class lifter. Troy and his “Gang,” approached me and called me names while giving me fowl smirks.

“Nerd.” One said in a hateful manner.

“You will never fit in.” Another said tauntingly.

They had soon abandoned me, and whet back to where they belonged. I walked swiftly to clas...

...the jocks, and in particular Troy. They told them that I should not be made fun of because I didn’t have many friends or that I attempted suicide because of them. The more that they said to them the more people joined in with them, even some of the jocks after they realized what they had done. This went on till the 4 jocks remaining walked away with, defeated. The huge group of people that had gathered had dispersed slowly, back into their places. The few people left standing near me and Sammy offered us to have lunch with them. I didn’t know what to say, standing there in shock.

“Yes!” I replied very excitedly. I stood there with the biggest smile on my face. My smile almost reached my ears. I sat down with them and had the best lunch ever.

Even though I have been through a lot, I managed to escape death and make it to where I belong. Everyone belongs somewhere.
