xxxxxxyou know, sometimes I think, "wow, thank god I got out of that situation."
xxxxx if there was a god, I wouldn't be stuck in the predicament in the first place.╚ ╝
inden"carson tune-- tun-- tunai?" the teacher averted her eyes from the clipboard in her pudgy hands to glance around the classroom, looking for the owner of the name. every set of young eyes seemed to wander to one young boy in the corner of the classroom who was staring out the window located in the distant back of the classroom. he was unusually small and a bit chubby, with short, neat brown hair and a set of ice blue eyes to reflect the sky he was gazing at. "carson?" the teacher repeated, impatience lacing her voice together. the seventh grade boy absentmindedly faced the teacher, a lazy look dulling the brilliant color of his eyes. the teacher gasped as she took in the gnarly scar engraved into the side of his neck that had been previously facing the back of the room. hurt took over his expression, and it remained as the teacher nervously shoved her stringy brown hair behind her ear, hastily looking away from the marred skin and back down at the list of names to continue.indenthe boy now had messy chocolate brown locks stretching past his ear that hugged the frame of his face, and he was undeniably wiry with a permanent hunch as he stood at the height of 6". his icy eyes still held their permanent lazy appearance, but if you looked closer you'd notice there was a harsh gleam of resentment hiding inside. you see, after being consistently teased and pushed around in middle school for not only his appearance but his "weak" personality, everything went downhill. depression overtook his life. the anger that he kept bottled up inside ruined his cheery reputation, and he had enough of being the bullied; so, to put it frankly, he became the bully. his kind reputation was replaced with that of fear. everyone was terrified of the boy with the nasty scar and guitar by his side. if you even mentioned his muteness to your closest friend you could expect yourself to end up in the nurses office by the end of the day, because word always got 'round to the boy somehow.indenbut that was in his last school. his mother and sick grandmother decided they'd had enough and dragged him with them to california. it was supposed to bring a fresh start for him, but carson brought his reputation with him; no one even dares to venture near the scrawny boy in fear of attracting violence. no one even tries to find out the real him. no one tries to discover the scars on his skin, or dares to find that he plays guitar for his bed-ridden grandmother. no one asks him if they can read the song lyrics he spends a good half of the school day writing, no one learns how he managed to get so skinny in such a short period of time in middle school. and especially, no one knows how he got his scar; no one knows that he thinks he's the cause of the car accident that killed his father.╔ ╗
xxxxxxmy grandmother truly is the sweetest person you'll ever meet, I swear.
xxxxxxxxsee how happy she gets when I play for her, or show her lyrics? I love it.╚ ╝
