Caught

I couldn't take anymore of his beatings. Geoffrey and Ben were holding me tightly and I couldn't move a single muscle. I could feel myself passing out as Calvin continued to beat me up.

Even though I hid myself very well, he and his minions somehow managed to find me. They wanted money and I was not willing to give them any. This wasn't the first time Calvin had beaten me up for refusing to give him money. Normally, my friends(Derek and Kevin) would stand up for me in these situations. But they weren't here this time.

Calvin always spent his money on unnecessary things. He would buy clothes we weren't even supposed to wear in school and they would get ceased. His father sometimes helped him get those clothes back but I wouldn't take long before he misplaced them.

He called me his bank since he was always sure to get money from me whenever he came by.

"Are you going to give me the money?". He asked, as he punched me in the face. The pain I was going through was excruciating and I really wanted it to end.

" F-f-fine, I will". Even though the the money I had on me was the last I had, I was willing to give it to him in order to end the pain.

"Wise choice"

I took out the from my wallet and gave it all to him. He just turned around and walked out of the dormitory, smiling at my money in his hands. I now had to depend on the food the school provided in order to survive for the next two months.

On the day I arrived at the school, my parents told me that I was going to face a lot and that I should be ready for everything. It was very difficult for me to be separated from my parents. I watched them drive away from the school as tears ran down my cheeks. At that moment, I was filled with anger and hate for my parents. They were the last people I thought would abandon me. And I vowed to myself never to make anyone let me cry ever again.

I lay on my bed and decided to clear my mind. I didn't want to think of what had just occurred. I began to think of all the things I wanted to do when I grow up. I wanted to be an astronaut. I wanted to go to space and discover all kinds of aliens and study cool flaming rocks that fell from space. I..

Cool flaming rocks. There were cool flaming rocks falling from space. I couldn't believe my eyes. "Are those shooting stars?"I said, pointing at the sky through the windows.

Everyone gathered where I was sleeping to take a look for themselves.

As they got closer, the flames seemed to look much realer and the speed at which is was falling got scarier.

" That's not a shooting star" one guy said, "It...... looks like..... a meteor"

My heart started to beat really fast. I had guessed it right. This couldn't be real. I didn't want to believe it.

"Umm..guys that one seems to be headed in this direction" someone said, pointing at a meteor charging towards our school.

I felt like the world was going to end. There were actually cool flaming rocks falling from space and one was headed for our school.

And that was not so cool
