7am, the alarm bursted alive and Henry stared at it with pure anxiety. He used to like school slightly but now he couldnt bare it all, he turned over and waited to hear his brothers loud voice telling him to get up faster. it took about 5 minutes and he was at the door banging, Henry sighed and sprawled onto the floor tiredly as he rubbed his eyes and looked at his phone- Ralph had left a few messages overnight
Rude Ralph!! Henry had him saved under, an old nickname from when they had lesser problems- well, besides from Henry, he always had them around. He read over the texts with tired eyes, it was just Ralph asking about what courses they were to be doing in college and if he wanted to go out and drink at their favourite place. Henry replied with a yes not even bothering to ask his mum who had grounded him years ago and still to this day he is grounded, Henry learned to sneak out now.
It was time to get ready as Henry threw on his blue and yellow jumper and messed up his already messed up bed hair as he spotted the photo of him and Ralph, he smiled softly at it and sighed and saw Margaret in the photo behind, his girlfriend he took a deep breath- his feelings for her fizzled out over the years really and hers did as well but we never spoke of it really as he wasnt very comfortable with his own emotions nevermind anyone elses, Ralph never really saw Henry cry until he found out about his parents divorce.
After he had gotten ready he headed down and grabbed some toast of Peters and waited to take Peter to school first, he has to step up now due to his parents divorce his mother isnt in the right mindset- he went to check on her and sat down by her, stroking her long blonde hair as he kissed her head, he never had this type of love back from her especially now but he would always love his mother.
"Oh Peter! hurry up now! we are going to be late!" Henry ushered to his blonde brother, Peter got up with his bag and headed off as Henry walked him to school- Henry went to a different school now as he grew out of primary so he said his goodbyes as mrs Battleaxe stood by the door she stopped Henry, concerned she spoke up "Henry, you've.. dropped this boy off here more than a few times now.. and Peter is bringing up the fact he is being bullied but we cant seem to get ahold of a parent- is everything ok? at home.." she says with her Scottish lilt and more of a softer tone as she got softer on him, Henry stared at her for a few seconds before speaking up "Uh yeah mrs.. hes- we're fine! mums really not well is all." Henry smiles and realised she mentioned bullying "Erm.. ill talk to her about the bullying" he mentioned and headed off.
On his way Henry wondered why Peter was being bullied- he was perfect growing up and had many friends, he wasn't sure why.
