“C-!” “Cai-!” “Cain!” “Cain!” My sleep gets cut short again. Of course. I slowly raise my head to look at the pig screaming at me. I was just taking a beautiful, much needed nap on my desk during Mr. Newton’s annoying ass lecture, but he’s truly a prick that can’t let a man get his rest. “Yeah yeah, I’m up, I'm up.” I snort back. Short giggles and snickers arose from the corners of the classroom, but I honestly could care less. People could truly fuck off for all I care. I didn’t have friends nor did I want them. Life was colorless. Life was boring. I didn’t care about what happened to me. “I would love to see you after school again today, Cain.” This fatass really is about to start pissing me off. I’ve gone to see him after school tons of times already, and he just screams at me. Of course, I don’t care, so I just sit there. I don’t think he realizes that nothing will change in the slightest. “Sure, sure,” I reply, as I slowly put my head back down as he walks away. Mr. Newton’s lecture continues, and his voice is keeping me from sleeping. Just as I was falling into the sweet, sweet embrace of sleep once more, the bell rang. Fuck. I truly hated school. Not to brag or anything, but I was always a top two finisher for grades every year, and I didn’t even study once. I’ve always been athletic and performed well in sports and P.E., and you can say I’m quite popular too. I’ve been quite popular with the ladies as well, but honestly, they bore me too. I’ve tried everything you can do as a 17 year old boy, but nothing satisfied me. After attempting to find something worthwhile, school became a drag. I would try finding many different part-time jobs to keep me afloat, but, wouldn’t you know, it still bored me. I lived alone, working jobs so I can continue paying rent on my shitty apartment, but I've recently been losing motivation. My motivation for school, jobs, and people were running thin. I was even thinking about giving up… I push myself up from my desk slowly to finally take my lunch period. My favorite time of day was always eating, as it was the only sense of satisfaction I relied on, although it was never long lasting. I walk through this hell hole with my head down, headphones on, and music blasting. I just wanted to walk to lunch in peace, alone. But of course, it could never end peacefully for me, as I feel a gentle tap on my shoulder. Dammit. I unwillingly tear my headphones off and turn to look at the interruption of my silence. Dammit. Out of all the people in the school. It just had to be Elizabeth. Elizabeth was the number one beauty at our school, and had a huge following of people and fans at our school. Elizabeth has been a blade in my side since high school began. She was always the one who tried to outperform me in everything. It didn’t matter what it was. She couldn’t accept a loss. It was truly annoying seeing someone so worked up over some dumb crap. She was always the one person who outscored me in grades or beat me in sports. She truly seemed to despise losing to me, but I didn’t care. “Hello Cain, how are you today,” Elizabeth politely says as she puts forward a hand. “Hey Liz. I’m good.” I say with a sigh. I truly did not want to talk to her, it just was wasted energy. I step forward again, praying for my escape. Elizabeth then stepped in front of me, blocking my route to freedom. “I need to talk to you, Cain, could I please just borrow you for a quick second.” Elizabeth said, causing a small crowd of people to swarm our conversation. “Is it that important, Liz?” I spat back. As I called her by her nickname I could’ve sworn I heard some teeth gritting together. I took a quick glance around, but I didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary. “It’s very important,” Elizabeth stated. “Fine, go on, I'm listening.” Liz then took a deep breath, then exhaled as she locked eyes with me. “Cain, I’ve been in love with you since the start of high school, and I know we don’t have much time left toge-” “Yeah, I’m gonna stop you there. I’m not interested in dating. Sorry.” Before she could even reply, I tried turning around and leaving, but three idiots were blocking the exit. “Uh, could you move so I can go eat my lunch?” I say as I continue to try to walk forward. Making it to lunch has never been more challenging. Fuck my life. Will I even have time to finish my Lunchable? “Are you out of your goddamn mind? You aren’t going anywhere. First off, you call our goddess by a nickname that you don’t deserve to use. Second off, you never deserved her affection, but she still had to fall for you instead of me. Third off, you ignore her fee-” “Yeah, I don’t care.” I cut the idiot in the middle off before he can finish. I continue to walk towards him, but I can tell he is pissed off and is trying to block my escape. But when have I ever given a shit. I kept walking and he simply fell over from me bumping into him. I’ve always had somewhat of a good physique but never worked out before. I guess that I am still strong enough to push an idiot or two. I can hear him stand up and try to yell something at me again, but my headphones already found their place back on my ears, draining the sound of everything else around me. I hate my goddamn life.
