C H A P T E R - 1

"Come down sweetie, it's dinner time" my mother called for me. I am up here in my room curled up in my bed crying, again. I don't want to cry, but I have never felt this helpless before.

I and my family shifted to this new neighbourhood only a month ago. Because of my sister, She is 4 years older then me, I am 17 she is 21. She always used to get herself involved in some shit. The day my parents got to know about her friends, their habits. They warned my sister to change her ways, but she was too stubborn to listen. So they decided to leave the town. That town was my home all my friends were there. I even have a boyfriend back there. Now I have nothing, my boyfriend left me saying he doesn't love me enough to do a long-distance relationship.

That did hurt me, I liked him a lot and he ended everything as it was nothing. My friends are all too far they sometimes call me, to check up on me. I told my parents about this they told me that things will get better than this town will be good for us, which I think is not true.

I never in my life was bullied. I mean why would I ever be. Some people did say some awful things about me. When they got to know that I am gay. Nobody there knew that Sam was my boyfriend. He told me he needed time to come out. We never told anyone we were dating. I only told my parents.

But now I know why he doesn't want anyone to know. Some people are too coward to even accept themselves. They are ashamed of who they are. I am not ashamed of who I am. Everyone around me always supported me, encouraged me to do things, to experience life. My parents were always at my side. He, however, was too afraid to bring labelled gay.

"You better come down right now, young man!" she now sounds angry. " In a minute!" I yelled loud enough for her to listen. Washing my face I came out of my room to have dinner with my family. Today my sister is also having dinner with us. She is working at some company as an assistant.

She is very smart, she can be a scientist if she wanted but her mind is always of the track. She lives in an apartment not far from here. With her blonde hair dyed black and she also wears everything black as she thought of herself as some rebel I think.

I sit on my usual seat on the table. With me with my sister and our parents opposite to each other. " How's was your day today Audrey?" my father asked my sister. "It was okay! But I am thinking to maybe quit the job." both of parents dropped their forks. Shock visible on their faces.

"Why would you wanna do that honey?" my mother asked. "I didn't say I will right now, I am just saying that I know I can do better and I am going to find another job," she explained and both my parents seemed relieved by her reply, including me. We all continued eating while hearing my mother talking about how great her day was.

I am glad they are not asking me about my day. what will I say that my bully dropped milkshake on me? Or how he makes fun of my eyes, my hairs and my skin. I have forest coloured eyes which I get from my father. My skin is pale white, with dark blonde hairs like my mother.

He makes fun of me saying with my eyes and skin I look like a vampire. I try my best to ignore him, but he somehow manages to make fun of me. I even try to fight him but he is powerful, he punched me and told me to never even think about touching him. Thankfully he did not destroy my face just some punches and twisting my hands. I never tried to fight him after that he always has those 2 friends on his back, the great trio.

We all had our dinner, and now here I am in my bed trying to find a way to cope with the things. I just have 2 years to complete high school. I have no friends there because of course my bully aka Maddox Miller.

The most arrogant asshole of the school hates me. He is arrogant and the exact definition of bad, but everybody thinks of him like some god. Girls give themselves to him, he always has a new girl to sit on his lap.

He is handsome with his dark brown eyes and black hair. he plays basketball, is rich, he is like every person's dream. The first day I met him I was not able to take my eyes off him. Possibly he noticed that, is why he bullies me.

But none of that matters if you have a black heart. Enjoying degrading someone is just as low and pathetic a person can get. I do hate him, I wish god will punish him for his deeds.

I decided to do some of my chemistry homework, tomorrow is the last day. I have to complete it by then. I should sleep now because tomorrow I have to attend hell again.

BEEP! BEEP! My alarm woke me up from sleep, I shut the alarm off, getting off my bed and opened my closet for my hoodie and sneakers. It's only 6 in the morning, I wake up early every day because I go for a run before school.

Did I tell you that I am on the swimming team at my school? I have to maintain my body if I want a swimming scholarship for uni. I put on my shoes and plugged my phone with headphones, with my favourite song.

The air outside is fresh and cold. I love the feeling of cold air falling on my face.

I checked the time and it is my time to go home.

I am standing in front of my mirror trying to figure out what to wear. I can just wear a blue T-shirt and black pants with my converse or wear something else, like cream?

Ughh! forget it I will just wear the blue one I don't want to give him the other reason, to make fun of me.

I made my way downstairs my mother is preparing breakfast for everyone and my father is reading the paper. "Good morning sweetie" my both greeted me. "Morning mum, dad" I replied for which mother kissed me and my father just nodded his head.

"I'll be late today, I have practised," I told my mother while taking a bite of her pancakes. "Eat properly first, and it's okay do you practice." I didn't eat much just a couple of bits.

I take the bus to school, and today my bus is late. My first period is really important today, I have a Math test today. It's already been 10 minutes here, guess I just have to make a run for school.

I started walking a little too fast at my school. By the time I reached my school, my T-shirt is covered in sweat. It's dripping down my forehead to my brows. Using my arms to wipe everything, I started walking towards my lockers.

Done with everything I am here in my math class very much done with my exam. I think I did great. But Maddox who is also in my class didn't attend the exam today. He never really skips classes. I mean he is in every class of mine. The bell rang and I stood up to got to my locker for books of the next class.

It's lunchtime now, and he is still not here, for which I am thankful. I can finally have a quiet lunch after all these days. I buy my lunch, I decided to have a salad, and a sandwich. If I ever don't swim I for sure would eat pizza daily.

I sat in a quiet corner of the area. Far away from any popular people, his both friends are also not here. Maybe they all together decided to skip school and go somewhere. I am eating

my sandwich suddenly I saw a girl standing in front of me. I haven't seen her before, she is tall smaller than me though, 5'7 maybe. Black hair and caramel skin her hairs are really pretty, she has these curls for days.

"Can I sit with you or you just going to stare at me?" Shame visible on my face, I was not staring, doesn't she know she isn't supposed to talk to me. This is embarrassing.

"I was not, I don't think sitting here with me is a good idea" She looked at me brows raised. She gives me an evil smile and took a seat very close to me.

"Don't flatter yourself, I am new here and you are in the swimming team same as me. I just want someone for the guidance you know" she gave me those puppy eyes. God what is she, I thought she was shy. She, however, is not shy.

"Okay, if that's what you want. Meet me at 3, outside the library. I will tell you everything there then we can go to practice. "I said just trying to help. Plus I need friends she seems good unless if she also turned into Maddox puppy.

"Maria"

"Landon" I smiled at her, she recreated the same. I take her hand out for me to shake. We exchanged some other things, then she left. I stood up to clear my try, as I turned around I saw a very angry Maddox. It took me some time to figure that he is staring directly at me. What did I do now? Why is he so angry?

He looks so hot when he is angry, he is wearing a grey shirt black jeans. His eyes are furious, almost darker than they usually are. Is he going to do something with me? His face, his eyes they look so good I can't take my eyes off me.

All the other people are clearing the area because it's time for the next class. I however can't move. I am trying my best but my feet are fixed on the ground. He is still looking at me, but now he seems less angry.

My inner voice is screaming at me to move. Finally, I took a step to get the hell out of her. But just as I was about to cross Maddox he turned his face to me.

"Stop" he is angry again, and there is no way I am ready to get punched again.
