Chapter 1

I stood at the front entrance door. I took a deep breath, then spun around and started to walk away. Nope. I can't do this. Not now. Not ever. (Wussing out again? Already? What are you so afraid of?) Shut up! No one cares what you have to say, I-I just need to get out of here.

I walk down the steps gripping tightly to my backpack straps. (You'll never make it.) I can. I will. I'll get out, and it'll be fine. You'll see.

(Let's say by some miracle you do, where do you plan to go? What about your parents? That'd be a painful experience...) I didn't think about that...(Not surprising.) I'll just go to Stark's pond... Yeah. No one'll bother me there.

I continue walking, trying to ignore the glances I get from people here and there. Or the whispers I (try to) ignore.

"Tweek!" I turn and see Clyde waving to me. Token and Craig are following behind him less ecstatically.

"Hey man! What's up? You okay?" Clyde asks still smiling as he finally reaches where I stopped.

I look and see Token and Craig still wondering over in our direction. Craig... I smile, "I-I'm fine, Clyde. H-How are you?" I ask turning my attention to Clyde.

"Great! What happened to you on Monday? You weren't here," Clyde says, looking slightly worried.

"I-I," I won't tell him what happened. I can't. (He'll judge me.), "was s-sick," I say.

He nods, as Token approaches us, "Hey guys," He smiles.

I look over and don't see Craig. Where is he?

"Where's C-Craig?" I ask Token.

He motions over back to where they were a minute ago, "He's just talking to Bebe..."

"They've been on and off..." Clyde says sounding a little upset.

I look over and see Craig being his normal self, stoic expression and seeming to not care about whatever it was they were talking about. Bebe was another story though. She was smiling and twirling her hair around her finger, looking flirtatious.

You could never know what Craig was saying or the conversation he and someone else were having, unless you were the someone he was talking to.

Bebe said something, then Craig said something. Bebe said something, almost like she was whining or pleading. Craig said something while flipping her off, then she got really close to him and said something in his ear.

He looked at her, and glared, but nodded.
