Carson

I walked the halls with anxiety, looking in every turn before I make 'em. I can smell him in the air, he's close. He really made ne paranoid, everyday, he treats me differently. He really is a psycho and he's making me crazy. I really don't know why he chose ke as his target, why do I have to make him interested in me. I took another turn and, it's a hallway full of students. "Fuck, how can I see him with this crowd?" I put my hood on, bow may head and, continue on walking. I walk into the room for my next class, every seat is occupied but, one it's the one next to him. He waved at me and point the empty seat beside him. "This is going to be a long hour." I mumbled to myself.

Ever since he found me on that damn class, Domino Calix did not leave me alone. It's now lunch, and Domino is literally dragging me to the dining hall. "Let go, I said let go!" I yanked my arm from his clutch which made him stop and look back at me. "Come on, I didn't saw you getting breakfast this morning, you must be starving." He said and, I just look at him with disgust. "I promise, I won't touch you just, come with me." He bargained with me. I rolled my eyes but, sighed in defeat. "Fine, I'll have lunch with you." He smiled at me and offered his hand. "Not in a million years, Domino." I growled at him and start to walk away. He laughed and followed me.

I didn't saw Domino around after lunch for, we don't have classes together in the afternoon. Our teacher just gave us a pop quiz which I finished minutes earlier and now, I'm just looking outside the window. "Carson Evaneesser, did you give up already?" Mr. Pearpiper asked. "No sir, I finished it moments ago." I tolf him and he raised his eyebrows at me. "Give me your paper, I'll check it myself." He announced and, I lazily gave him my paper then go back to my seat. He scanned through my papers for a while before giving me "the look. " "It's a perfect score Mr. Evaneesser, you're dismissed." He told me, I stiod up and collect my things. "Thank you sir." And I start walking for the door. "Wait!" He stopped me. "You don't seem like a bad kid to me. Tell me, why are you here in Saint Jude's Correctional Highscool for Boys and Girls?" He asked out of curiosity. "Well, my parents are hoping you can cure homosexuality." I fearlessly told him. "Son, it's not a disease to cure nor, a mistake to correct." I gave him a smile before I, continue walking. "Fag." Some boy spat at me when I walk in front of him. I look and wink at him before going out of the door.

Yes, Saint Jude's Correctional Highschool, where troubled kids are being thrown by their  parents to be fixed. I have been here fir two years now, why? As I said earlier I'm gay so, my parents condemned me here in hopes that I can still be saved from the fires of hell. "My parents are idiots for thinking that I can be fixed, there's nothing broken about me." I told the wind as I start walking towards my dorm. As I approached the building, Caleb, Domino's follower blocked the doorway. I turned to use the other entrace to the building but, the rest of his gang blocked me from leaving. "So you think you're invincible just because, Domino Calix shower you attention." He said with disgust. "You think, he'll keep you just because, he sees you? Stop being pathetic and stop coming to him." He continued. "Domino's the one who's bithering me..." I wasn't abke to finish because, he slapped me so hard. "Don't talk when I didn't ask you to talk." He hissed as he squeeze my cheeks to lock gazes with me. He draw me closer and, whispered to my ear. "Domino is mine, if you know what's good for you, leave him alone." He threatened me. "I don't think the information sinked in on his pretty little mind, teach him a lesson." He ordered, and the rest of his gang dragged me to tha backside of the dormitory.

I winced as I put some ice pack on my sore body. "Damn, those guys really know how to beat someone." I hissed in pain ans the cold bag touch my skin. I need an escape plan both from Caleb and his gang and, from Domino as well. I can't leave my ass at stake when, I know that Caleb will hunt me down if I keep lacing myself with Domino. "Saint Jude's already hell, why do things beed to get harder for me." I complained. "Fuck you Domino Calix and, all your followers." I cursed them all as I continue to to attend to my sore body. I rest for a while before taking a hot shower to relax myself. a
As the hot water poured down, I got lost in my thoughts again. I got out of the shower and noticed that it's already dark outside. I thought I was only in there for like ten minutes but when I look at the clock, I realize I spent an hour standing under the shower. "No wonder my skin turned red." I sighed as I dry myself and get myself ready to get changed. I sat on my bed just looking at the ceiling luke a stupid twat. "I can't sleep with this wild thoughts in my head." I decided to go out of my room and go upstairs on my private rooftop. I lay there on a comforter I brought with me, watching the stars on the velvet night sky. I smiled ti myself, as I gazed for the stars in awe. As I continue looking at the night sky, an image of Domino popped out in my mind. "Fuck, I really can't escape you can't I?"

I woke up with the bright sunlight peircing my eyes, I look at my wrist watch and panic due to I am late for my morning class. I hastily run downstairs to get changed and, run to my school building. When I reached the classroom and opened the door, no one's in there. I checked my phone and realized that it's a Saturday, I sighed and took a breather from the run that I did. "Free day, this means I can go visit the city." I thought to myself and go to the parking lot. Yes, this is a correctional school and, students are allowed to visit the city under one circumstance, if you don't have any red flags on your record book. If you have one red flag on your book, your visit privilege will get suspended. And oh man, if you got a red, it's almost impossible to get redemption and the city pass back. I spin my car keys with my finger and get into my car for a ride, "Astil City wait for me, I'm coming for you baby!"

I arrived in the city earlier than expected because, I kinda drove fast. I immediately go to the mall to buy myself some clothes, art stuff and also supplies fir my snack stash. I roam around from shop to shop and bought everything that I need. I feel exhausted so I decided to refresh myself with some tea. My favorite cafe is full so, I roam around and try my luck on searching for another one. I found myself in this hidden, awkward hallway with a cafe at the end if it. "This is a weird placement. No wonder why they don't have any customers." I entered the cafe and there he is, Domino Calix wiping the counter. "Welcome to Cafe...Black." He kinda oaused when he greet me cause, he's just as surprise as I was. "Oh hi, so you work here." I greeted him. "This place is kinda empty." I said while I was looking around. "Not now that you're around." He joked. "So this is a themed cafe, our theme is like a mafia owned cafe." He started explaining. "We have customers now but, they are in private rooms having meetings. We offer that kind of service too for people with privacy needs." He continued. "If you want a room though, you jeed to make an online appointment." He finished. "Oh no, I just need to refresh myself. A regular table will do." I said and, I remembered that maybe somehow, there's a possibility that one of Caleb's minions will see me with Domino and I'll be dead. "Well, if you can give me your most private regular table, I'll be delighted." I told him and he smiled. "Right this way please." And he lead me to my private table.

My plan to avoid Domino flopped for, he manage to make me stay by entertaining me. I didn't notice that it's already closing time. "You made me stay here for that many hours without me noticing it?" I asked in my amazement. "How?" I insist on asking. "Well, I have superpowers." He whispered. "Don't tell anyone." He said and winked at me. I just can't help myself by giggling on his remark. I giggled? I never giggled! There's something peculiar happening but, I won't get to it. I might compromise myself if I, get myself involved. "So you close, earlier than the mall?" I asked him. "Yeah, company policy. I dunno it's weird but, I'm used to it." He explained. A few moments later people starts going out of a corridor and, it's my schoolmates! They are wearing weird outfits, they look like suicide squad or something. "Oh fuck." I cursed under my breath, Caleb is one of them. "I'm so dead." Caleb rushed to us sending me death glares. "I'm so gonna kill you." He threatened me. "Easy my friend, if you touch him, you'll have to answer to me." Domino growled. Caleb punched the table and walked away with the others. The girl with the long blonde hair stayed for a moment, stare at us and I finally leave. "Let's go back to school." Domino said and with that, we go back together.

This past week has been hell for me, everyone in Caleb's club is making my daily life miserable. I can't study, eat or even sleep at peace due to the anxiety that they caused me! I look at the mirror and stared at myself, my eye bags are growing more and dark circles grow darker. "What should I do? I dunno if I can take all of these much longer." I talk to myself in the mirror like a madman, I'm desperate for a solution. Both Caleb and Domino are forces to be reckon with in these school. Which of these two I'll pick to beat my ass, the one with loyal minions or, the one who goes solo? Well, I guess I can avoid one person versus avoiding a whole gang. "I'm really sorry Domino but, I have to say goodbye."

Early in tgr morning I roam the school grounds finding Caleb, to have some words with him. I saw him and his guys on the same spot, under tgat old pine treewhere they usually hang out. I easily caught Caleb's attention and, he instantly gave ne a sinister smile. "What do we have here? Someone's up for an early beating." His words made my gut wrenched. I look around before I say something. "Can we talk, alone?" I nervously ask him. He gave me a blank stare then he nodded. "Follow me Evaneesser." He walked away and I followed him at the back of the chapel. He leaned on the wall with his arms crossed. "Talk." he said. "Let's have a deal." I proposed to him and he raised an eyebrow. "Uhm, you'll treat me like an invisible stranger, you and your guys and I'll, make Domino Calix leave me alone." I blurted and, he grabbed my collar. "How can you do that? No one can never escape Dom!" He whisper shout at me. "Trust me, I can do it." I desperately said and, he pinned me to the wall. He put his face next to my face as he lick and nibble my ear. "Fine, if you can do it I'll leave you alone but, if you fail, I'll kill you." Caleb whispered and it sent shivers throughout my body. He pushed me to the wall before leaaving, I get my phone and sent a message.

To: Domino

Let's meet at the school's fountain at lunch, I have something to tell you.

-C

I run hastily after my class towards the school fountain. I am running minutes late and it gives me anxiety. "Fuck, this is nerve-wracking." I made a few turns before reaching the main door which lead towards the fountain. There he is, looking at his watch casually waiting for me. He look so handsome as usual. When he saw me, he gave me a wave and yhe warmest smile ever. I walk closer to him, when I reached him, he wrapped his arms around my waste. Does he think I'm gonna confess to him? Damn, this is going to be a wreck. I pushed him softly away and, he gave me a confused stare. "Domino, you have to leave me alone." I told him without looking at his eyes. "You only bring trouble and, I dont want any. So, if you really care for me, you'll stay away." I said and he hugged me. "If it's Caleb and his gang I will handle it. I promise, I'll protect you." He whispered to me. We are now, gathering people's attention. Good, this is good. Now, all I need to do is do some drama. I pushed him hard so I could break away from him. "Don't you get it? I don't feel that way Domino, I just want to be your friend but, you always impose your motives." I told him. "I just thought that you can use a friend cause you always bother me and it made me feel bad. So, I tried being your friend!" I'm screaming at this point and I hear people start murmuring. "You know what? You only bring trouble and I, I have had enough. I won't go to any trouble just so yu can have someone beside you. I'm tired and I'm done, I don't want you to ever go near me, ever again!" I spat and he just stared at me wuth his sad eyes. "Good bye Domino Calix." I said and I started walking away. "Carson wait, please." He tried to stop me by pulling me by my shoulders, I turned back and I punched him. I Carson Waltz Evaneesser, hit a god, named Domino Calix. I am so desperate and so dead.
