I was in the washroom and washed my face and hair. I looked in the mirror, I was a mess, but at least it isn't worse than the others. I took of my sweater and folded it. The bathroom door opened and Scott came out, "What happened" he asked "None of your business" I answered. I walked out of the bathroom and went to my locker. There I put my sweater, and replaced my shirt.

"Hey nerd" I heard someone speak out, I looked who it was and it was Daniel walking towards me furious. He grabbed me by the neck choking me on the lockers. "I saw you earlier talking to my dad, you better not say anything to him or I'll assure you, I'll put you six feet below the ground" I was struggling to breathe but I had to say something before he kills me. "I didn't say anything" he put me down. "Make sure it stays that way" he walked away "Fucking faggot" I was coughing over and over. Then Scott came to me looking worried "Are you okay" "Get away from me" I told him.

He grabbed my shoulder "Look, I don't know who you are but I saw what he did to you. You've been ignoring me since morning and I'm just trying to help" "I DON'T NEED IT" I screamed and ran.

It was the end of the day and it was raining hard outside. I waited for an hour for it to stop but it didn't. I was about to step outside when Scott handed me an umbrella, I pushed his hand away and walked. I stopped down the stairs and looked at Scott "I'm sorry for yelling" he nodded. From their I began walking home.

Life was hard, when I began growing up I accepted the fact that no one would help me and maybe one day I'll end it. I stopped my tracks when I saw a puppy and a kitten inside a box and beside it were a dead dog and cat. The dog was whimpering while the kitten was crying. I grabbed the box "Hey there you guys, I see what happened here. Life can be cruel sometimes but lucky for you, I have no one else at home". I grabbed the box and began walking home.

I got inside the building and went to my apartment. The first thing I did was took a bath and give both of them the same thing. I sat down and played with both of them. The pup began licking my hand and the kitten was sleeping on my lap. "You know I can't always call you pup and kitten, I need to give you names. I'll call you Bubbles" I named the puppy, he was a male and the reason I called him bubbles is because when he was taking a bath, he was popping bubbles here and there till there was no more. "For you, I'll call you Elizabeth" Like the Queen, Queen Elizabeth, she felt like a royal cat. She was always calm and never hyped when I tried to play with her.

After putting both of them to sleep, I worked on my assignments. It was easy to put them to sleep, like kids, just play till they're tired. After working on my assignments, I went to the grocery store to pick up some dog food and cat food for them. On the way I bumped into someone that was already familiar, it was Scott. I walked towards him just to apologize. I looked at him "Hey" he looked at me. "Hey" he said "I just want to apologize for what I said back then, it was unnecessary and uncalled for" he nodded and I walked back to where I was going "I just have one question" he said and I looked at him "Why don't you fight back or even ask for help" "That, I can't answer that question to someone I just met" and I walked back.

After the grocery shopping, I went to the pet store. I bought bowls, cages, leash, collars with name tags, and toys for them to play with. Tomorrow is gonna be a weekend so I need to work and there is no one to help me with both of them. I can't trust the neighbors because they don't give a shit about me, plus they're extremely rude. So I need to baby proof the house tomorrow. I can't skip work because I need to pay my rent next week and I ran out of money for buying stuff for the both of them.

It was the next day and I didn't get much sleep. I decided to put all fragile objects in high places for them not to reach and I kept all dangerous objects on the cabinet just because no one was willing to help me babysit the pets. I locked the door and went to work. I always walk half an hour to get there because there isn't any job close to my apartment. I got there and wore my uniform. "SEAN" my boss yelled "You're 15 minutes late again" "I'm sorry sir there was-" "I don't wanna here any of your excuses, I always counted your records and you've been late multiple times. One more time and you can say goodbye to your uniform" and he walked away. I can't lose my job, no matter how much I hate it, It still gives me 10 dollars per hour.

"Late again aren't we" Sandy said. He does the dishes in this place he's blonde with brown eyes "Anyways if you ever want to talk just come to me". He always says that to me so I can talk about my problems to him. I didn't really need anyone's help with my problems, I only deal with it on my own.

I got to the counter and put on a fake smile to please the customers. The door opened "Hi welcome to McDonalds how can I-" my smile faded and I just looked down on the counter. "Well, well, well. If it isn't it Einstein".
