FREDDY'S POV

When I enter Mr. Finn's class, we still have a couple minutes before class starts. I see Zack waiting for me by my desk.

And no Summer.

Yes! Finally, I'm not greeted by that weird, extremely perky smile. I swear, Summer tries so hard. It's pathetic.

I walk over to Zack, and we do our simple secret handshake.

"Hey, bro. What's up?"

"Nothing much. Just glad I got here before Summer did although I know what's coming," I tell him taking a seat at my desk.

"Are you still gonna tell Summer to-"

"To stop trying to get me to like her and to leave me the hell alone? You bet I am," I say cutting him off

"Look, Freddy, I get that you want Summer to stop, but that doesn't mean you have to be harsh," he tells me sitting down at the desk beside me.

"Zack, trust me. If I let her down easy, then she'll just keep 'flirting' with me," I tell him.

He just sighs.

He is about to say something but is cut off by soft laughs coming from outside of the classroom. As soon as they begin talking, I know exactly who those voices belong to. It is Tomika...and Summer. Great.

I have had such a great morning so far, why did it have to end so soon?

I sigh and put my head down on my desk. Here comes the 'Heyo Freddy. Sorry. Fey Heddy. I mean...' Every damn day. Seriously, does this girl ever give up?

"Hey guys." I hear Tomika say.

"How you doing?" I hear Summer ask.

I take another long sigh before I bring my head up.

To my surprise, Summer actually looks... nice. She is wearing something simple and her hair looks pretty.

Whoa. Quit it Freddy. Snap out of it.

"Uh, we're doing fine. You?" I answer looking directly into Summer's sparkling blue eyes.

Seriously, Freddy! Stop!

"We're good as well," she answers giving a light smile.

I smile back.

"Alright, rockers! Lets start the day off," Mr. Finn says coming inside the classroom...

Everyone scurries to their seats.

~Time Skip To Lunch~

I get in the line with Zack and we begin grabbing our lunches.

"Freddy, what happened? I thought you were gonna tell Summer to stop." he says while grabbing his food.

"I was, but you know she has been less annoying than usual today. She didn't try to 'flirt' with me. But just watch it's gonna happen," I tell him grabbing my food as well.

We exit the cafeteria and enter into the courtyard. We find Tomika and Summer and sit across from them.

"So, guys, when do you think we can get the band together to rehearse?" Tomika asks.

We are doing a performance in a couple of months, and we want to give it all we have.

"I think next week, after school, Thursday," Zack suggests.

We all voice agreement.

"So, Freddy, do- I mean- I would like- Sorry - Um-" Summer stuttered.

Oh no. Here we go.

Strike one.

"I really like your ha- Uh-"

Strike two.

"What I'm trying to say is that- I really-"

Ok stop! Strike three!

"Alright, Summer, enough!" I say raising my voice and standing up from my seat.

"Freddy, what are you-" Tomika started, but I didn't let her finish.

"It's obvious Summer likes me," I say. I look at Summer and her face turns a shade of red.

"Summer, how are you so stupid?! I mean, it would take a dead person for someone to not notice you like me. So can't you take a hint when it's given to you?! I want you to just stop. I tried to be nice to you, but you have really been getting on my last nerve. This is everyday, and it's annoying and pathetic. Can you just stop because I'm gonna tell you straight up? I don't like you! Never have and never will! So can you just please for the love of God, stop?!" I exclaim staring into Summer's eyes the whole time.

Everyone is staring.

I watch as Zack's mouth keeps getting wider in shock. I watch as Tomika's face gets red with anger and enragement. I watch as Summer's face slowly gets wetter and wetter by the second.

Her blue eyes are mixing with red and her mouth is slightly parted. Her face doesn't seem to have anger. Instead, her face wears what seems like a sad, fearful, and shocked look. She is shaking. It's as if her delicate, glass heart just got thrown onto the floor and stepped on. She slowly breaths in and out, yet she isn't moving a single muscle.

As if with the speed of lightning, she shoots up from her seat and sprints inside the school. I watch as she gets smaller and smaller.

I don't realize what is hitting me until I feel a sting on my left cheek and my face is turning to the right.

I hold my cheek in my hand and slowly face up.

Tomika.

Then, she slapped me again with all her might.

"You are such a dick, Freddy!" she screams at me.

I sit back down and keep my head down.

I-

I don't even know what to say.

SUMMER'S POV

I want to die.

My legs are aching, I'm pretty sure I pulled a muscle, but I can't go back. I can't stop.

After what seems like forever, I finally reach a bathroom. I trip on my own feet before stepping into the stall.

Classic Summer.

I lock myself in the stall farthest from the door and cry my heart and soul out.

How could I have been so stupid? I always knew that Freddy wouldn't like me, yet there was that small, soft voice at the back of my head giving me a small chance of hope. That maybe, just maybe, Freddy would notice me.

There is much more to me than meets the eye. I really wanted him to see through my walls. I wanted him to help me. He is very important to me, but that will never happen. The one person I want to trust wants me to stay as far away from him as possible.

Why was he so mean? Why did he have to make me feel more worthless than I already do? I wish he knew. I want him to know. But he doesn't want anything to do with me.

His words keep repeating in my head.

"How are you so stupid?"

"You have really been getting on my last nerve."

"I don't like you!"

"Never have and never will!"

"Please for the love of God, stop?!"

Repeating his words in my mind is just making my tears spill down my cheeks like an endless faucet.

Am I really such a piece of garbage? Am I really so pathetic and worthless that one of my best friends... spat it right in my face?

My heart aches as I let myself cry. I normally seal my lips shut and don't make a peep when I cry. Then it so quiet you can hear my tears drop from my cheeks to the ground, but this hurts too much. I keep weeping like a baby until I hear someone knock on the door of the stall.

"Summer? Summer, open the door please." I hear Tomika say from the other side of the door.

"No." I choke out.

"Please Summer, let me help you." she said.

Help me.

I wanted him to help me, notice the red marks on my arms, notice the shades of purple foundation can hide, notice the fake smile on my face everyday, notice the dumb excuse for a human in front of him, and to just notice... me.

I want to tell Tomika, but I can't. She will freak out and act on her own instead of taking this slow and looking for solutions. That's why she's my best friend, my sister.

I walk slowly to the door in front of me and slide the lock. As soon as the door is free, it's pulled open, and I am pulled into a tight hug by Tomika. I put my arms around her and bury my face in her neck, tears still coming out of my eyes.

"It's okay, Summer," she coos, stroking my hair. "I love you," she adds.

You're the only one.

"I love you too," I finally manage to say through the tears.

"Come on, let's go back to class," she says pulling away.

"No way," I sniff. "I can't face Freddy, especially after this. I want to go home," I say with a whole new batch of tears escaping my eyes.

It was a weird sentence that came out of my mouth, "I want to go home."I have never considered that horror house my home, but this is how much this hurt me, I would rather be at that house than go through Freddy telling me how he truly feels about me.

"Then let's take you to the nurse. We'll tell her you threw up," Tomika said drying my tears and putting my hair behind ear.

~Time Skip After Nurse Visit~

The only sound I heard when I walked home was voice in my head telling me what a despicable person I am. I really do deserve everything that happens to me.

I was born in the wrong time and in the wrong place. I was misplaced so badly.

I reach the house and slowly open the door. I see my dad passed out on the couch with a bottle of beer in his hand. I slowly close the door and go upstairs.

I go into my room and close the door ever so lightly. As soon as the door is shut, I start crying again.

I reach into my cabinet and grab my scissors.

I don't even bother looking for a spot. I don't care if I scar another scar. I just slice and slice. As I keep dragging the scissors all over my arms, blood comes oozing out, fast.

I let the physical pain become stronger than my emotional pain. My blood drips onto my clothes and to the floor.

It isn't until five minutes later that I decide the physical pain is enough. Quickly, I take bandages and paper towels from my first aid kit and apply them to my arms to stop the bleeding.

When I am done, I clean the drips of blood that fell onto the floor and change my clothes.

I put on a tank top with a black sweatshirt on top and some loose purple shorts. After that, I just let myself fall onto my bed

My arms are now aching and stinging, but I deserve it. I let my eyelids drop even though my eyes are still damp with my tears.

I don't want to wake up...but I have to.
