The rain was about to fall, he could feel it in his bones and because the air around him began to get cold and he started to shiver receiving no help from the thin clothes he was wearing, he looked around and ran his hands up and down his arms to try and get warmer, but it really didn't do much, so he decided he was going to try his best to ignore it and return to searching the bins for his breakfast.

It took quite a while of him searching through bin after bin to find something, it was a sandwich that was still in it's wrapper which was open but it was something, he checked it and saw that someone had taken one bite out of it, maybe they didn't like how it tasted, he shrugged and stuck it in his jacket pocket to eat it when he returned to the bridge.

He continued his search and smiled when he found a carton with juice in it, he checked to see it was a few days old but he was content, it would be the first thing he had eaten in maybe three or four days, he searched a bit more and when he didn't find anything else he decided to make his way to his "home" as he liked to call it, it was just a bridge but he stayed there the longest out of all the places he lived because he would always be chased.

He shook his head and got on his way, he used the alleys as best as he could to stay out of sight, because if he was seen he would be taken by police and sent to an orphanage and he had no desire to go there, after he had heard awful stories about the place from an old lady he used to share an alley with until one day she just stopped coming and to be safe he changed his location.

He finally reached his bridge going under just as the rain poured down, he felt satisfied with himself because if he had been caught in the rain, it would have been trouble for him, he would have either had to take it off and wait in the nude for it to dry or stay in his wet clothes and probably freeze his skin off, he shook the thought out of his head and took a seat on a cardboard he had on the ground, he pulled out the juice carton opening it to take a sip, it was a bit sour but he had drunk worse so he shrugged it off.

He bit into the sandwich and tried not to spit it out, he knew it had chicken in it but the problem was the weird sauce that was on it, he shivered in disgust but eat it none the less, he had no idea when he would be able to eat again, he moved onto the juice guzzling it down and before he knew it the carton was empty and he was sinking down on the cardboard so he could slip into sleep, his eyes closed and he fell into a dreamless slumber.

He was awoken by the sound of a loud thud, his eyes flashed open and he looked around to see no one but then the sound came again this time even harder and he looked up, someone was on the old bridge, he had no idea what they were doing but it couldn't have been anything good, he got to his feet and moved from under the bridge in fear that it might collapse on top of him.

He slowly moved up the side of the slope and peeped on the bridge to see a group of five boys surrounding another, the boy in the middle had a blonde buzz cut with a strange design at the back of his head, grey eyes that flashed dangerously and he was covered in bruises but he didn't look as bad as the other boys, he watched as the blonde grabbed one of the boys that moved to attack him by the front of their shirt bringing his knee up into the boys stomach and when he went down he kicked his head sending him to the side and watched as he collapsed into a crumpled mess.

His eyes widened and his curiosity peeked as he watched the blonde move around beating up all of the other guys barely getting hit twice but staying on his feet, when he was finished he stooped down in front of one of the boys and said something before spitting on him, the blonde reached out and picked up a bag before heading off the bridge and the boys eyes widened as he realized the blonde might see him so he scrambled down the slope and under the bridge.

He held his chest and closed his eyes staying as quiet as he can fearing that if the blonde saw him he would beat him up too and he was too skinny to try and take a beating, he listened for anymore sounds but when he heard nothing he opened his eyes only to let out a loud scream when he saw the blonde stooping down in front of him with a smirk on his face.
