I Just Want A Place In Your Heart Like You Have A Place In Mine

Parents say that you should enjoy high school while it lasts. After high school you part from all of your friends and you're on your own in the big tough world. Little do they know is that high school has changed so much since they went to school. Nowadays school is filled with clicks. You are always put into a ‘click’ and you’re stuck in that click till high school is over. You got the nerds, the goth creeps, the jocks, the stalkers, the cool kids, the teachers pets, the barbies, and then you got us; the misfits. You are probably wondering who is all in the misfit click? Well, firstly you got Cassadee Pope or Cass as we like to call her. The only reason she is in this click is because all of her friends are here. Everyone loves her because she is drop dead gorgeous and because of her cute personality. If she really wanted she could fit in with the ‘cool kids’ but she would never abandon us.

Next in like you got her boyfriend Rian Dawson. He is in here because he doesn't care about himself. All he cares about are his friends and in high school, that’s classified lame. I think it’s lovely.

After Rian you got, Evan Gaskarth. He is the youngest, he’s only 15. There are a lot of reasons for him. First of all, he is transgender and people don’t like that. I think it’s okay, people should be able to pick their gender. Evan also has like 3 inch plugs and a lot of people at our school think that is disgusting. Evan is also the class clown, no matter how down he may be, he is always trying to make someone laugh.

After Evan you got a girl named Sally Torres. People think that Sally is a just another person in the crowd. She doesn't try to impress anyone. She wears just a random t-shirt and some jeans and some sneakers. She doesn't wear tons of makeup and she doesn't dye and straighten her hair which makes her just another face.

Then you got Zack Merrick. He is a built guy who belongs with the jocks but stays with us because he is to quiet apparently. Zack plays on the football team here at the high school but doesn't really like the football players here so he sticks with us.

Last but not least, you got me. Jack Barakat. I can give you at least five reasons why I’m in this click. Number one.) I wear glasses which makes me a dork according to the jocks. Number two.) I play guitar which I guess is not cool. Number three.) I’m quiet, I don’t like speaking in front of large crowds which sends me down the hole of death. Number four.) I like being alone most of the time but if my friends want to hang out I’ll hang out with them. I don’t like being rude. And number five.) I’m openly gay. People act like that is such a bad thing but it isn't. I’m totally okay with the fact that I like dudes, I don’t see the purpose of hiding it if that’s who I am. I’m lucky to have great friends and parents who accept me for who I am.

Currently, I was walking through the hallways of Hell just trying to make it through the rainy morning. It’s only October 6th and I’m already done with school. I turned my music up trying to drown out the sound of the other students making their way to their lockers before homeroom. I finally reached my locker and slowly put in the code. I glanced at my phone to see the time which read: 7:32am. I still have a half hour to spare so I just put all my books in my locker and slink my way to ground. I sat on my bum with my back against my locker just looking through my black hair at the kids walking the hallways. I put on The Used and let my eyes shut and my head lean against the locker as well.

“Jackary!” I heard the one and only Sally yell as she ripped my headphone out of my ear. I pushed up my glasses with my index finger and smiled at her.
“Hey Sally, still hanging out tonight?” I asked with a happy tone.
“Yeah of course, Evan and I decided that were all gonna hang out at his house tonight.” Sally said taking her backpack off her shoulder before sitting down next to me. I nodded at her and she grabbed my head phone and put it in her ear so we each had one in our ears. My phone went off which made the song cut out.
“Who is it?” Sally asked looking at me. I slid the message over to see my that my Dad texted me.
“It’s just Dad telling me how Mom is doing.” I sighed flicking my head to the side to get my fringe out of my eyes.
“How’s she doing?” Sally asked quietly knowing it was a touchy subject.
“She’s still in the hospital, she’s on some medication. Fucking car accident.” I muttered before hitting my thumbs against my phone screen before sending a message to my Dad.
“I’m sorry Jack, she’ll be okay. You’re Mom is a trooper and we both know that.” Sally giggled causing me to laugh as well.
“Ayyy!” We heard Evan shouting from down the hall.
“Oh God.” She laughed.
“He sure knows how to make an entrance.” I laughed before he came running up to us.
“Guys! Guess what we can get tonight!?” Evan said excitedly before hitting his butt against the floor next to mine.
“Oh! I wanna guess!” Sally said pulling out an ear bud.
“Go!”
“Okay, is it a game?” This was normal for us. We are like the three musketeers. We are always together.
“Nope.”
“A movie?”
“Nah.”
“A food?”
“Yes!” Evan said pointing some fingers at her.
“Okay, um chicken? No, um pasta, no not that either. I got it!! Pizza!” Sally said clapping her hands together as I broke out into fits of laughter.
“Yes! One point Sally!” Evan screamed before they high-fived each other in front of my face.
“Sally!” We heard Cass squeal as she ran down the hallway making her boots click against the ground and he dress flow.
“Oh my God, what is it?” Sally asked bouncing up and running over to Cass as Rian trailed behind his squealing girl friend.
“I just got Taylor Swifts new album!” Cass said holding up a hard copy of some album. I just rolled my eyes and laughed at the two girls.
“No way!” The girls’ soon broke out into a conversation about Taylor Swift. Rian and Zack sat down next to Evan and I as we watched the girls’ talk.
“I don’t know how you deal with girls, like they are so squealy.” I chuckled as I watch the girls’ jump around.
“I don’t know either.” Rian joked with a laugh.
“Oh shit! I gotta go I left my jersey in my locker! See ya guys at lunch!” Zack yelled before getting off the ground and running away.
“Rian!” Cass yelled running over the her boy friend who sat next to Evan.
“Yeah, sweetie?” Rian asked. Cass bent down and whispered something in his ear. Rian’s eyes went wide and he grabbed her hand before running off.
“Gross! No PDA!” Evan shouted as the couple ran down the hall giggling before going into a janitor's closet.
“They are so cute.” Sally gushed before pulling Evan and I off the ground.
“I know, why can’t that be me.” I complained before we all started talking about the new episode of Red Band Society.
“Evan!” We heard someone shout from down the hall before the one and only Alex Gaskarth came running into frame.
“What?” Evan asked as he stared at his brother who was dressed in his red jersey.
“You’re not having any friends over tonight. Tonight is my night, got it?” Alex said rather in a harsh tone.
“But Jack and Sally were coming over tonight.” Evan said to Alex. Alex looked at us both and then back at Evan.
“Only them?”
“Yeah.”
“Fine. But stay in your room.” Alex smiled slightly at his little brother.
“Thanks Alex!” Evan cheered.
“And Evan,” Alex said walking closer to the small boy.
“Hm?” Evan asked quietly.
“Try to not get beat up today.” Alex whispered before walking away yelling, “Hey Colton!”
“Ugh he is such an ass!” Sally huffed crossing her arms. I just stared at the football player as he walked away. The way his jeans hugged his ass made him look amazing.
“Jack! Stop staring at my brothers butt!” Evan shouted loudly causing me to look at him quickly and punch him in the arm. Evan covered his mouth and Sally giggled a bit. Alex turned around and then looked me dead in the eye and I looked away with a blush of embarrassment. “Disgusting little fag.” I heard Alex mutter before walking away with his jock buddies.
“Thanks Evan.” I gritted through my teeth before walking away.
“Wait Jack!” Evan yelled running up to me.
“Save it.” I muttered before running to my first period class.

God now Alex thinks I’m a creep. He already thinks I’m a creep but now he probably knows that I like him. I've liked him going on two years but I don’t know why. He is a fricking douche bag. Maybe it’s the way he walks, how his hips move side to side. The way his brown hair falls over his face. The way he plays football out on the field and ends up winning every game. Just him in general is memorizing.

I slid into my seat in first period in the front of the room since all the kids in the back are bullies. I took out my notebooks and pencils and just started doodling till the Math teacher came in the class. I was five minutes early so only about five kids were in the class including myself.

Another few minutes passed by and the rest of the kids started strolling in the class. To my luck all of the mean sporty kids were in this class. I don’t know how I got stuck in the stupid math class because I’m pretty decent in Mathematics. Alex’s friends Colton and Riley came strolling in laughing and taking their seats in the back of the class. Next Alex came in with his arm around Cassie Smith a.k.a. the most beautiful girl you will ever lay eyes on. Not only is she beautiful but she also is sweet and caring. Alex, I guess seen me staring at him and he just started laughing and so did Cassie. I just slammed my head on the desk and wished for the period to be over with.

To my luck, my first four periods went by rather quickly. I made my way out of History class and walked to my locker to grab my lunch. Did you really expect me to eat that disgusting cafeteria food? Yeah right, not in a thousand years. I gripped the paper bag in my hand and walked to the cafeteria. I walked over to the table seen all of my friends already seated. I dropped my bag on the table and plopped down next to Sally at the end of the bench. Evan sat in front of me and I still haven’t said a word to any of them.

“Jack,” Sally stated, “come with me to get my lunch.” I just nodded my head silently as we walked up for her to get her lunch.
“Are you okay?” She asked as she grabbed a salad box.
“Yeah, I guess.” I sighed and laid my head on her shoulder as we walked.
“Words say one things, actions another.” Sally whispered.
“He thinks I’m some fucking creep and it’s all Evan’s fault.” I mumbled lifting my head off her shoulder.
“You know how Evan is, he didn't mean it.” Sally said as she handed the cashier her money.
“Yeah I know.” We walked back to the table and everyone was having there own little conversations besides Evan.
“Jack I’m really sorry, I didn't mean-” I cut him off by saying, “I know Evan. It’s fine.”
“You sure?” He asked.
“Positive. Now who is ready to have a great time tonight?” I asked with a smile.

Hopefully tonight would be fun.
