Hello, my name is Hitori. My school life was fine, but because of my Father’s business, we needed to move around a lot, and then I needed to experience being the new kid all over again. I usually keep to myself because what is the point of being friends with someone if I’m going to leave in a few months?
my classmates got the message because I don’t interact with anyone unless they talk to me first but for some weird reason this boy named Ambrose just kept bothering saying he wanted to be my friend I declined and then went back to being immersed in my work for that period
He wouldn’t give up and since we have all the same classes and there is a limited amount of AP classes at this school I couldn’t avoid him I don’t even know why he wanted to be my friend he got along with everyone in class it kind of make me feel like he wants to add me to his little collection
Every time I reject Him just for a moment I can see his mask slip a slight anger evident on his face only for a moment you have to pay attention to see it then he goes back to flashing that fake smile that alone makes me all the more cautious around Him.
just as I am lost in my thoughts I notice he is standing right in front, I sighed wondering when will he get tired of this game of his before I lose my patients I look up at him and take in the features once more I get when everyone liked Ambrose with his classic blonde hair blue eyes, such a pretty face, and that fake personality, but that won’t fool me
then he finally opens his mouth to tell me what he wants, “Hey Hitori!” I responded, “Hello Ambrose…” Then he continued to talk, I just sat there missing most of what he said while trying to find a way to end this conversation suddenly
Ambrose suddenly paused I think he could tell for once I wasn’t paying attention to him once again I spotted that small moment of anger, and then he excused himself and walked back to whatever people decided to hang around him that day I swear they were all moths just attracted to light he admits
finally the bell rung I quickly packed up my thing to head to my next class but decided to use the bathroom, but before I could enter I hear Ambrose and other people as I was about to leave and just go during class to avoid another interaction with Him, but then I hear my name and decides to listen a little longer
I put my ear up against the door to listen to what he had to say about me, “Hey Nico, can you tell me about Hitori?” Ambrose said with curiosity “Oh you mean that shy nerdy dude with the black hair and glasses” Nickolas replied “Yeah whenever I try and talk to him, he just gives me the cold shoulder usually when some see me for the first time they either fawn over me or are jealous of me, but he is just indifferent weird right”
Nickolas sighed and said “Don’t waste your energy on him, he has been like that since he came here, some people just like to be left alone” Harley jumped in and said” I heard that his father does some shady work maybe that’s why he always keeps to himself can’t draw attention to yourself when you have a family like that also when he first came here at the beginning of the year didn’t he say his family moves around a lot that must be why” Ambrose agrees with him because he always thought something was off with him ever since Hitori didn’t want to be friends with him
then Nickolas scolds both of them saying they should believe such baseless rumors and tells Ambrose he already gets high off the attention of others one less person won’t kill you,” Ambrose says back whatever,
still behind the door, I wonder how he obtained that information I’m going to have to report this to Father lost in thought I forgot I was leaning against the bathroom door it accidentally fell forward then I quickly got up and ran to class as fast as I can
Finally, in the safety of the classroom, I take my seat making it just in time before the bell rings the class begins but all I can think about is did they see me I take a deep breath to calm down and think to myself I can worry about that later I take out my notebook to prepare for the class then go to push up my glasses I noticed they weren’t on my face they must have fallen off my face when I fell I was in such a rush I didn’t realize then were gone
As if on cue, Ambrose enters the class with my glasses in hand, hoping he doesn’t realize they’re mine as soon as he spots me, he marches up to me with that sickeningly sweet smile and says, “Are these yours?” I answer a quick no, then wonder where that teacher is
Then he said “Hitori where are your glasses you had them last period” Realizing I had been caught I realized there was only one thing I could do “Fine they are my glasses” In a curious tone he said so can you tell me why you were eavesdropping on my private conversation”
Then in a calm as possible tone, I said “If you weren’t talking behind my back I wouldn’t have listened to your dumb conversation, also bathrooms are public places so if you were expecting that no one would hear you’re an idiot.”
Ambrose yells “All I said is that you’re weird!” he says as his fist tightens around my glasses, then I yell back, “You think I’m weird because I won’t stroke your fragile ego like everyone else also give back my glasses you’re going to break them!
Ambrose “Yell you back fine here you go” Then he proceeded to throw them across the room and smack into the wall, I yelled “Why would you do that !”
Then I quickly ran over to them to see if they were ok, but they weren’t tears flooded my eyes because they were given to me by mother before she passed away then Ambrose said “Geez they are just a pair of glasses” those turn my sadness into rage I stood up then walk towards Ambrose and punched him in the face as I can everyone gasped someone yelled get the teacher!
while everyone was rushing to see if he was ok I quickly ran out of the room out of fear of getting trouble
I began thinking this was all Ambrose’s fault if he had just left me alone none of this would have happened I admit listening to people’s conversation is rude, but he didn’t need to throw mother’s glasses!
