[[If anyone knows that, it's me.... ;3]] Jude nodded. He sighed and put his head down on his desk. Will this woman ever shut up?! We get it, you need a new car but you can't afford one on a teacher's salary. I need to get out of here and fast. He glanced up at the sub and laid his head back down, groaning loudly. Ms. Ulrich stopped mid-sentence and she looked over at Jude. The smile disappeared from her face and she scurried over to him. "Are you alright?" Jude looked flush, but that's just how he always looked. He looked at the teacher and shook his head. I guess I'm not really lying. I'm never 'alright', but of course I'm not exactly dying right now either. "I just have a headache," he mumbled, a lie. "Would you like to go lay down in the nurse's office?" Ms. Ulrich didn't even bother to let him answer before she had him on his feet. "Would anyone like to accompany him to the office?" Nathaniel hesitantly stood up and walked across the room. "I will," he said quietly. He shoved his hands in his pockets and looked down at his feet. "Alright, anyone else?" She scouted the room like a hawk looking for prey. It was a little frightening, actually. She looked at Parker, "What about you? I saw you talking to this young man a moment ago so I believe I could trust you." Jude rolled his eyes. That sounded extremely stupid but she seems just as eager to get out of this class as anyone else. He made sure to keep up the convincing act of a throbbing headache, groaning lightly.

Parker looked at the sub "Yes ma'am. She stood up going along with the act (THIS IS WHERE ACTING COMES IN GOOD HANDS) "Jude are you sure you are okay? You look like you're going to be sick." she sounded totaly realistic. Though she knew he wasn't sick. She knew damn well he wasn't sick "Can you walk straight?" she helped hold him up.

Macey sat silently in class, listening to her teacher droan on and on. She ran a finger along one of the cuts on her arm and felt tears form in her eyes. The cuts always hurt more emotionally than physically. Kathryn looked back at her, giggled, then looked down at her phone. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Veronica fel her phone buzz in her bag as she sat in Pre-Cal. She swore, if it was her fucking mother again, she might scream. She whipped it out, just to see another one of Kathryn's stupid gossip-texts about Macey. At this moment, that emo loser was the farthest thing from Veronica's mind. "Don't f****** care." She texted back, before slamming the phone into her bag, but not before Kathryn's reply "GAWD! Don't be such a beeyotch." Her message read. Veronica swore at Kathryn under her breath and texted back. "Don't call ME a bitch, you little whore." She typed. "Ur gonna fucking regret that."

(I'm going to say Jenna's in Veronica's class.)
Jenna snickered at Veronica seeing her having a panic attack. Jenna had quite a few things in mind for her that day at lunch.

"Thank you both." Ms. Ulrich went back to telling her "riveting" story about her uncooperative car.
Jude shrugged lightly, wincing. He walked out the door with the two, acting like he was having a hard time just standing. As soon as they got out of the class room the door was shut, and down the hall and little way, Jude straightened and sighed. "Thanks."
"No, thank you. If I had to hear her do that stupid laugh and say 'oh boy' one more time, I'd have taken a blade right to my throat." Nathaniel shook his head.
"Don't do that! Whatever would I do without my Natty?" Jude laughed. "Thank you too... uhm.... I'm not sure I know your name." He ducked his head, smiling sheepishly.

"Parker. It's no problem." Parker shrugged "And I have to agree with Nathanial (She's like me and if she hears his name once she knows it for life... I HATE THAT ABOUT ME!)." she looked at Jude and then at Nathanial "Are you two going out?" she asked not really caring just wanting to know.

"Parker, right." Jude shook his head, smiling slightly. "No, we aren't like that. A lot of emo guys are bi or homo -- which is why it doesn't surprise me you asked -- but Natty and me and straighter than toothpicks." It wasn't a question that was rarely asked to him or Nathaniel, or even Tripp. "Natty is really one of my best friends though. All the abuse you see isn't self inflicted. Well, not most of it at least; most of it comes from our parents, not us. Tripp's dad is a drunk and, whenever he's sober enough, beats on him, too." He nodded.
Nathaniel just stood, looking at whomever was talking. Tripp kind of scares me. He's big, he's abused, he's scary looking. I'd hate to be on his bad side..... He pulled at the gloves for a minute before shoving them back in his pocket.
"Oh, you're right, Natty. I guess no affliction can be seen since we're wearing clothes pretty much from head to toe." Jude snickered. His hands had a cut of two and a few burns but it got worse under the sleeves and pant legs.

"Oh... why don't you guys run away or something?" Parker asked. Her dad was a cop "My dad is a cop I could tell him and he could arrest them." she said twirling her hair.

[[Do you know I've written the exact same reply to this about five times and it never posts? It's pissing me off....]]
Jude shrugged. "We don't have anywhere to go. Well, I don't at least. Natty could go to his sister's house in New York but I don't have any other family." He stood there for a minute. "That's one reason we haven't gone to the cops or anything. We have the evidence to get them arrested,"- he pulled a sleeve of his shirt up to the elbow revealing pale scars, red burns, and dark bruises- "but there are reasons we don't. if my parents got arrested, where would I go? A foster home or orphanage. Natty would go to New York if his sister took custody of him, otherwise he would be in the same situation as me. We do have friends even though no one thinks we do. Not many friends but enough." He shrugged again, smiling crookedly and tugging his sleeve back down. "See why we endure all this? Also, I never really consider suicide. Neither does Natty. The reason we don't is because we're pretty damn sure our parents are going to kill us in our sleep someday." Jude stifled his laugh, it wasn't really that funny. Most people found it alarming and disgusting just in general, but when you laughed they thought you were just some sort of twisted psycho.
Nathaniel smirked. He knew Jude wanted to laugh at that, even he wanted to laugh. The smirk disappeared before it had been on his face for a second. He nodded lightly in agreement.

"Oh..." Was all Parker could say. She tried to think of other things but she couldn't. How could you respond to something like that? (I know it's short but I'm tired...)

Jude was quiet for a while, he felt the conversation commit suicide and didn't bother to revive it since it was always the outcome eventually. "Well, I'm going to go retrieve Tripp." He headed down the hall with his hands in his pockets until he got to Tripp's math class.
Nathaniel's eyes widened and he watched Jude leave. He looked at Parker for a split second and his eyes fell to the floor, his hair falling in his face almost instantly. He really hoped she humiliate him quickly now that Jude was gone and he wouldn't have to suffer long.
Jude peeked his head inside and looked at the teacher. "I have something the woman at the front desk wanted me to tell Tripp," he muttered shyly, realizing he was interrupting the teacher.
"Alright, go ahead, son." The teacher stopped and waited for Jude.
Jude nodded and glanced at Tripp, who looked like he had just woken up. "Uhm, your dad is in the hospital. He had some sort of accident."
Tripp grinned and howled, jumping out of his chair to celebrate. He looked at the expressions of his fellow classmates and calmed down, putting on a depressed face. "Oh, man.... Do you know if he's okay, Jude?" He glanced at the teacher who sighed then gestured that Tripp could leave. He jogged over to Jude.
"I don't know, Tripp. They just told me to tell you." Jude hung his head in pity and sorrow. "I hope he's okay." Really, I wish this wasn't a lie.... I also really hope Tripp doesn't strangle me for getting him syched for nothing.... He shuddered slightly and the thought and ran a hand through his hair.
The two walked out of the class room and shut the door. Tripp danced down the hallway. "My dad is int he hospital, I hope he's dead, I hope they can't even identify his mangled body, My dad had a horrible accident," he sang. He looked at Jude with a huge grin as he walked behind him back toward Nathaniel. "Dude, why aren't you celebrating?! If my dad is dead as dirt, you can come live with me and get away from your shitty parents!"
Jude stopped and took a deep breath, putting his hand in front of him defensively. "Look, don't kill me or anything but..... I just thought I would pull you out of class and that's the only thing I could think of. sorry, don't kill me!" He hid his face behind his hands, too scared to look at his friend's expression.
Tripp was stunned, he didn't know what to think or do. He wanted to choke Jude for making him so happy but he couldn't get his feet to move.
