Left and Right

School gates.

Aka my entrance into my torture room. Same dead grass with the branch were couples made out, stuipd love birds. The groups always congregated here. No stuipd clicks, no mean girls , no goths , no theatre kids and definitely no jocks. Just the friends staying with friends. And me all alone.

By myself.

My eyes searched the area and yet no pink hair. What was I even doing getting close to some girl who probably doesn't even care. As I started to go inside school when a cheerful voice greeted my ears. "Hey! Dominic!" Little miss candy floss said as she jogged over to me.

"Little miss candy floss," I said turning around to meet her. Her hair was done in 2 perfect braids. Her uniform was as bright as a myriad of starts. Jesus I sound like I ate a thesaurus this morning.

"Not smoking for once I see!" she giggled. Her laugh sounded like music to my ears.

"Nope."

"That's good I was getting worried about your health," she said as we walked into the torture chamber some called school. We walked through the hall covered in graffiti like an off brand version of a cathedral. She was worried about me? Why? No one has- "Hey!" some guy said from further back in the hall. I turned to the direction of that voice.

The guy came up to me and Little miss candy floss. Ken, Mr Heartflutter himself. He could make girls run to him like they were a herd of wildebeest.

"What?" I asked bluntly.

"I wasn't calling for you Dominic," Mr Heartflutter snapped. "Hi Scarlett," his tone changed to somewhat flirty. I was going to be sick.

"Hi!" Scarlett said waving also.

"Why are you with 𝘩𝘪𝘮?" Mr Heartflutter said inspecting up and down. "Don't you know he's trouble?"

Little miss candy floss tried to speak but I cut in saying, "No one wants you here Ken. Your axe body spray is suffocating everyone in a hallway." A few laughs came from my diss.

"You can talk Dominic. Do your parents even want you? They should have left you on some street corner!" Every students in the halls ears perked up at that taunt. Angry bubbled within me. "Come on Dominic, we all know you're Mr bad boy with the sad upbringing. Now you want to get with some other girl and break her heart too. We all know what you did to Kate," Ken continued.

Ken's words awoke something within me so I punched him and Ken fell to the ground. I got on top of him and punched him over and over and over till my hands were red raw. The sound of students egging on muffled the cries of pain from Ken. Hundreds of phones circled me like little glowing eyes. Thought he was so big saying that shit to my face and couldn't even defend himself. Pathetic. Scarlett shouted for me to stop but I didn't. Ken would have to pay for what he said.

"BREAK IT!"

A booming voice caused the hall to abruptly stop making noise even I stop punched Mr Heartflutter. Mr Loud, as every student called him fittingly, picked me from on top of Ken and checked his face. "Right, go to the nurse Ken. Dominic and Scarlett, with me! The rest of you go to class immediately or you all will be in detention!" he demanded.The students disbursed as Little miss candy floss and me were lead to an empty classroom.

Scarlett explains the whole fight but made sure to put the blame on Mr Heartflutter. I guess she would follow through with covering for me like yesterday. Mr Loud obviously liked Little miss candy floss or her creative writing payed off so I got away with the fight with a warning.

Yeah forget this stuipd school I'm out of here! No way in hell am I going to have everyone chat shit about me! I started walking past the English classroom but Little miss candy floss stopped at the door. "You're not going to class?" she asked slightly tilting her head. It was quite... cute.

"Nope."

"Oh ok," she looked down. "Hey... you ok Dominic?" she asked as I rolled my eyes. "Dominic, if you want to talk-" she started.

"Are you going to keep wasting my time or can I leave now?" I cut in harshly arms folded.

"Ok- er- well, see you at lunch then?"

"No."

"No?"

"I'm not coming back."

"Fine then, I'll text you after school!" Little miss candy floss smiled beautifully going into English.

I walked out the school gates smoking. Little miss candy floss's words echoed in my mind. Just don't get close to her because you don't need her or anyone for that fact!
